I Remember Her Now

This one was another powerful entry, easily earning 8.5/10 by focusing on the emotional toll taken by the team.

The brutal murder of a teenage girl leads Intelligence to a disturbing treatment center, resulting in a dark and unforgettable undercover assignment for Jay Halstead. Watching Jay deal with the trauma and corruption of the exploitation ring he uncovers provides some of the actor's best work this season.

The plot's sensitive subject matter is handled with gravity, with the deep emotional stakes overriding the procedural elements. The most touching moment came from a rarely seen display of heart from Platt, offering a moment of unexpected compassion amid the tragedy. And even with their relationship still strained, the subtle, supportive bond between Lindsay and Halstead remains a compelling anchor for the episode.
