Spoilers ahead for the Season 11 premiere of Chicago P.D., called "Unpacking."
Chicago P.D. delivered some good news early in Season 11 with confirmation that Ruzek survived the Season 10 cliffhanger, but "Unpacking" was otherwise a heavy hour of TV in the 2024 TV schedule. It was clear that the six-month time jump wasn't easy for Upton after she'd removed her wedding ring, and her marriage to Halstead would officially be over after she mailed the divorce papers. The episode actually showed the papers, which included the name of Jesse Lee Soffer's character... but not "Jay Halstead." When I spoke with P.D. showrunner Gwen Sigan, I asked about the "Jason Halstead" name reveal.
