After more than a decade of walking the line between justice and brutality, Hank Voight may finally be forced to confront the consequences of his choices.
In a growing Chicago P.D. fan theory, the death of new character Reid—rumored to be introduced early in Season 13—could become the emotional turning point that pushes Voight toward the long-awaited redemption arc. For years, fans have seen Voight lead with force, often bending or breaking the rules to protect his team or get results. But grief? Real, raw grief? That’s the one thing that’s always pierced his armor.
According to insiders, Reid might represent more than just another officer. He could be the “mirror” to Voight’s younger self—idealistic, loyal, and not yet broken by the job. Losing someone like that could trigger a reckoning deep within Voight, forcing him to reflect on his legacy and whether he’s created more damage than justice.
And let’s face it: fans have been waiting. For every brutal interrogation, every hidden body, there’s been a lingering hope that Voight would finally seek redemption—not through violence, but through change.
Season 13 could be that moment. But in Chicago P.D., nothing comes without a cost.
