Voight and Chapman Are Up Close And Personal In Season 12

Voight has clashed with many supervising police officers and authoritative figures in the past, including Deputy Superintendents Katherine Brennan and Samantha Miller, as well as the corrupt Commander Denny Woods and former Alderman Ray Price. However, Chapman can have a deeper run on the show due to her stern but caring demeanor when tackling cases. She can also go toe-to-toe with Voight, proving that she means business and is by the book in her work.

Despite arguments with Voight over certain investigations and search warrants, Chapman cares about Voight because they're driven to take down criminals and murderers and are willing to exceed limits to help each other. For instance, Voight ed Chapman when she was in trouble for sleeping with her witness, and in return, the attorney went to bat for the sergeant in season 12, episode 4 by fabricating a search warrant so that Voight could rescue a woman and take down the abductor.

Voight and Chapman's proven loyalty and devotion to each other's work ethic is evidence that their partnership has exceeded expectations, but it may be more than that after Chapman itted to having feelings for him at the end of "The After." This revelation leaves Voight stunned because he may have feelings for Chapman but is hesitant to speak because he doesn't want his baggage to burden her. However, Chapman is the best romantic partner for Voight because she understands him and her personality compliments Voight's rugged demeanor.

Why Voight Deserves A Romantic Storyline In Chicago PD Season 12

Chapman Can Help Voight Overcome His Inner Turmoil

There have been several romantic relationships in Chicago P.D., including Jay Halstead's romances with Erin Lindsay and Hailey Upton, along with Adam Ruzek and Dante Torres and Gloria Perez. However, Voight's never had a romantic storyline due to the show's consistent focus on him as a fearless leader and hard-boiled cop. Voight has always placed his care and for his unit first over himself, but season 12 may be his best opportunity for a romantic relationship after his talk with Chapman.

After the emotional turmoil Voight endured due to his near-death abduction at the end of last season, and Hailey (who Voight cared for like a daughter) leaving Chicago, the sergeant can use some emotional from someone like Chapman who wants to and ease his pain. Seeing Voight in a romantic storyline would be a significant development for his character because he hasn't been viewed this way before.

Chicago P.D. season 12 returns with episode 9 on Wednesday, January 8, 2025, at 10 pm ET on NBC.
