How To Watch Chicago P.D. Season 12, Episode 20, "Black Ice"
Chicago P.D. season 12, episode 20, "Black Ice" will air Wednesday May 7th, 2025 at 10 p.m. E.T. on NBC. Fans can also stream the episode the next day, Thursday May 8th 2025, on Peacock.
The previous episode of Chicago P.D. focused on Kiana Cook (Toya Turner), and the next one will be about Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger), who has been a beloved character on the procedural since the pilot episode. Adam has been the focal point of some sad storylines, including when he was arrested at the end of season 6 for helping Antonio (Jon Seda). Although Adam doesn't want Voight's assistance, he eventually agrees, and the two have had a memorable but complex bond ever since.
It sounds like Adam happens to see a terrible car crash, and while that would be enough of a dramatic plotline, Chicago P.D. always takes already intense situations and makes them even more horrifying. In the upcoming episode, fans can expect Adam and his teammates to uncover a horrible case. Hopefully, the bleak episode of the brisk and suspenseful police drama will have a happy ending and they can help people who are in trouble. Adam is a great character because he truly cares about the people he meets and tries to save.
Patrick John Flueger's Adam Ruzek Has Been The Focus Of Many Intense Chicago P.D. Storylines
Besides his relationship with Kim Burgess (Marina Squerciati), whose sister is also given her own arc, Adam Ruzek's Chicago P.D. storylines are often grim, fast-paced, and moving. Earlier in Chicago P.D. season 12, he spends time with his father Bob (Jack Coleman), and finds out he has Alzheimer's. Adam has also worked on a case involving a young child named Zoe (Annabelle Toomey) who he finds after several people have been murdered. Adam realizes a serial killer is manipulating people using Zoe, and it's one of the more disturbing cases on Chicago P.D.
In an interview with TV Insider, Patrick John Flueger talked about the plotline involving this child character and said:
"we filmed a little out of order. So the Zoe storyline, we filmed two episodes back to back that had to do with this storyline, but they don’t play back to back. That’s how we scheduled it. So I know what happens there and going forward, I don’t know yet."
