Chicago PD Fans Are Fighting Back Tears Over The Tribute To Olinsky In Season 10

Season 10, Episode 13 ("The Ghost in You") begins with Hank Voight (Jason Beghe) getting out of his car at a cemetery and chatting with the groundskeeper Jimmy (Jim Johnson) before walking to his intended destination: Alvin Olinsky's (Elias Koteas) grave. He stares at the headstone before removing a flask from his pocket and pouring some liquor on the grave. "Al," Voight says as he takes a swig. "['Chicago PD'] tugged at my heartstrings by having Voight visit the grave of Alvin Olinsky," @RobertD555 wrote on Twitter. "I didn't expect that." On a "Chicago PD" subreddit, u/pikachu-atlanta had a similar reaction, writing, "Voight visiting Olinsky's grave made me cry all over again."

Viewers weren't sure why Olinsky's grave was shown so prominently at the beginning of the episode, but some speculated that the callback was fitting, considering Voight's actions later involved the questionable decision to place a suspect in a cage and tell ASA Nina Chapman (Sara Bues) that in the recent case "your name won't come up, I'll make sure of it." It seems that old habits die hard, and despite his friend being six feet under, we don't expect to see Voight change his ways anytime soon.
