The Great Halstead Exodus
Now, I know what you're thinking. "Bolivia? Really, Jay? Couldn't you have picked a place with better wifi?" But let's be honest, if you were offered a chance to escape the endless drama of the Intelligence Unit, you might consider it too. Who needs Voight's gruff orders when you can have a change of scenery and, presumably, a much lower chance of getting shot at?
A Hole in Our Hearts (and the Intelligence Unit)
Halstead's departure left a void in our lives that's about as big as the Chicago River. We’ve had to endure countless episodes without his signature smirk, his questionable fashion choices, and his undeniable chemistry with Hailey Upton. It’s like losing a limb, only instead of a prosthetic, we've got re-runs.

Is There Hope for a Halstead Comeback?
The short answer is: we don't know. The long answer is: we really, really hope so. While the show has tried to fill the Halstead-shaped hole with new characters, let's be real - no one can truly replace our boy. But hey, stranger things have happened. Maybe Jay will get tired of Bolivian cuisine and decide to come back for a deep-dish pizza and a reunion with the team.
How to Cope with the Loss of Halstead
