Chicago P.D. Season 12 Finale Shocks: Kiana Cook and Dante Torres Face a Crisis That Breaks Trust

The Chicago P.D. Season 12 finale didn’t hold back — and two of Intelligence’s newest members, Kiana Cook and Dante Torres, found themselves at the heart of one of the episode’s most gut-wrenching twists.

In a move that fans never saw coming, the finale dropped a shocking bombshell that forced Torres to question not only his partner — but his own judgment. After months of building trust, teamwork, and even subtle hints of friendship (or more), everything came crashing down in one devastating moment.When a confidential informant’s tip turned out to be false — with deadly consequences — the blame pointed squarely at Kiana. But was she truly at fault… or being set up? Torres didn’t know what to believe. And when he confronted her, what started as a tense exchange quickly spiraled into a full-blown emotional showdown.

“Do you trust me or not?” Kiana demanded.
“I did,” Torres replied. “I don’t know if I still can.”

The scene was raw, painful, and brilliantly acted — leaving viewers stunned and divided. Was Torres right to doubt her? Or did Kiana deserve the benefit of the doubt?

Showrunner Gwen Sigan teased in a post-finale interview that this isn’t the end of the Cook–Torres dynamic — but it may never be the same. “We wanted to explore what happens when loyalty cracks,” she said. “Especially between two characters still trying to figure out who they are within the team.”

With Season 13 confirmed, fans can expect the emotional fallout from this moment to shape both characters’ arcs in powerful ways. Trust is hard-earned in Intelligence — and once it’s broken, it doesn’t come back easily.
