Al's Gone, But Not Forgotten: A Chicago PD Tragedy
So, let's talk about the elephant in the interrogation room – Al Olinsky. A character so beloved, his death was like losing a favorite uncle. Remember that warm, fuzzy feeling you get when you see a relative you only visit once a year? Yeah, it was the opposite of that.
A Stab in the Back
Al’s demise was as unexpected as a clear day in Chicago. One moment he's cracking wise, the next he’s taking a one-way ticket to the big precinct in the sky. It was a classic case of wrong place, wrong time. Or, you know, right place, incredibly wrong time.
The Setup: Voight, in all his morally grey glory, decides to play vigilante. Al, being the loyal sidekick, ends up taking the fall for Voight’s little revenge plot. Let’s just say, Voight’s idea of subtlety is about as subtle as a brick to the face.
The Fall: Prison life isn’t exactly a spa retreat. Al, our beloved Al, gets a front-row seat to the gritty reality of jail. And by front-row seat, I mean a stab in the back. A real, actual stab. Talk about a career change.
The Aftermath: A City in Mourning
The Intelligence Unit was a shell of its former self without Al. It was like trying to solve a Rubik’s cube with one hand tied behind your back. Or, you know, like trying to eat soup with a fork. Not ideal.
Voight, being Voight, went on a rampage to avenge Al. Let’s just say, justice was served, Voight-style. It was like watching a really intense episode of ‘Home Alone’, but with guns and way more swearing.
So, what did we learn? Loyalty is great, but maybe don’t take the fall for your boss’s murder spree. And always carry a good luck charm. Like a tiny rubber duck or something.
