Chicago P.D. 9×17 “Adrift” is the kind of episode that makes you question every choice you’ve made before it. That’s one of the things about TV, that when it works, you see yourself in the characters and in their reactions to certain events, and it’s easy to take what you’re seeing on screen and apply it to your own life.
The episode is also a really good exploration of who Adam Ruzek is, and what his priorities are in life. At times in the past it has felt like Adam hasn’t been where we — or Kim — want him to be, but this season has given us a new, and better side of Adam, and that shines through in this episode. Being a fan of Patrick Flueger has always been easy, being a fan of Adam Ruzek might be just as simple after this hour.
Here are some teases for Chicago P.D. 9×17 “Adrift”:
- Typically I come down on Kim’s side of whatever conversation she’s having with Adam, but this episode put me firmly on Adam’s corner and I must say, it’s nice in here.
- Of course, some things are not black and white. The show does a good job of showing that. But that doesn’t mean this Adam-focused-episode doesn’t succeed at the one thing it had to, which is making us relate to Adam.
- Hailey Upton should wear red more often, just saying.
- Sometimes the easiest way to prevent disappointment is to make sure you disappoint others before they can do it to you.
- Trudy Platt being about 5 steps ahead is just Trudy Platt, and the show should absolutely give her more chances to show that she knows more than most people.
- Jesse Lee Soffer and Tracy Spiridakos truly nail the little “married couple” interactions between Jay and Hailey.
- Knowing there’s a problem doesn’t always mean you know how to fix it.
- Look, Adam made me tear up this episode. So did Kim, if I’m being honest, but Adam, man …Adam.
- There was at least one particular moment, if not two, where I would have gladly reached through the screen and hugged him.
- I live for the little moments between Kim and Kevin.
- A single scene will make you cycle between worried-happy-ecstatic-heartbroken.
- I stared at the screen a good five seconds after the episode ended, just trying to process my feelings.

I do like all the characters on Chicago PD for what they each bring to the show. As far as Kim and Adam are concerned, early in the show seasons 1-3 I was more sympathetic to Kim. Adam was immature and wasn’t ready to get married. He didn’t realize what was important to her and took her for granted. This changed for me in seasons 7-9. Adam has matured, though he can still be childish. He has been supportive of Kim and put her first and Makayla first. It has been Kim who has taken their relationship for granted and at times has said or done things that are completely dismissive of his feelings. It was inevitable that this would boil over at some point.
Hailey in red, I’m fine with. I hope it isn’t the red plaid shirt though. When she wears that, a tough emotional conversation is coming.
I love Kim and Adam together.I hope they make them a permanent couple.I love Hank..He does things his way and gets the job done that means even crossing a few lines.As for Jay and Hailey I dont like them as a couple.I truly wish she was taken off..Her character acts like shes better than the rest and like shes such an honest person but we all know that isnt true..overall i love this show and pray it stays on for a very long time.
I absolutely love Chicago PD. I wish it was on 5 days a week. Love the cast !
I love Kim and Adam together but sometimes I don’t understand Kim and the way she treats him. Yes Adam can go off a bit on the wild side but he loves deeply for the people that he cares for no matter what. I really love that about him. But I want him to feel loved, happy and wanted to.
Amo a Adam y a Kim me parecen una hermosa pareja disfruto mucho los episodios q se enfocan en ellos. Espero q ya estén juntos me encantan!!!
