| What Happened To Upton On Chicago Pd |
The Big Goodbye
Let's be honest, Upton's departure was like a gut punch to the entire Chicago PD fandom. It was as unexpected as a clear day in Chicago (okay, maybe not that unexpected, but you get the point). One minute she's saving Voight's life from a deranged killer, the next she's contemplating her entire existence. Classic Upton, right?
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
After a heart-to-heart with Voight that was more raw than a Chicago winter, Upton realized she was living a life that wasn't truly hers. She was recreating her troubled past, trying to be the victor every day. And let's face it, that's exhausting. So, she made the tough decision to walk away.
Tip: Reread tricky sentences for clarity.
Where Did She Go?
The big question is: where did she go? Did she join the FBI? Become a yoga instructor in Bali? Or maybe she's just chilling in a cabin in the woods, binge-watching true crime documentaries and eating copious amounts of ice cream. We don't know, and that's part of what makes it so intriguing.
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.
