Plot[]
At a diner, Erin meets with Dr. Daniel Charles. She asks him when the new wing at Chicago Med opens. He replies November 17th, and explains that they got pushed a week due to design issues. Erin asks if they still call them "emergency rooms" because she heard that they're now being called "emergency departments". Dr. Charles replies that it's the latter. He then tells her he's supposed to be asking her questions. He says he'll tell her what Voight relayed to him, and she can correct him if he's wrong. She agrees to this. He tells her he heard about what happened to Nadia, that she took some time off, partied a little bit too much with her mother, and got her job back "by the skin of her teeth" (according to Voight). She agrees to this. He tells her that's a lot to carry around. He then tells her that instead of trying to deal with all of it at once, they should take it one step at a time. They are interrupted by Lindsay's phone buzzing. She checks it, and gives an apologetic smile. She tells him this isn't for her, and that she has a case. Dr. Charles tells her to take care as she leaves the diner.
At the 21st District, Commander Fisher angrily enters Voight's office, and Lindsay follows him in, shutting the door behind her. He tells them that Bunny showed up at the Ivory Tower the other day with information about a man named James Beckett, a heroin dealer who Voight arrested 15 years prior. Bunny is claiming that Voight lied about witnessing Beckett kill the buyer that night and that Voight was never on the scene. Voight calls Bunny a drunk, and that he'll take his chances on a he-said, she-said with Bunny any day. Fisher tells them that Bunny has proof, and that Lindsay might want to deal with this before he has to. Lindsay says she'll talk to her and leaves.
Mouse is taken hostage in the lobby of the district by Jeff Frazier in an attempt to get the Chicago P.D. to find his missing daughter. Frazier tells them to look for his daughter, as he gives the fliers out. He heads into an office, after Hank tells his officers not to shoot.
In the office, Mouse tries to speak with his abductor who says he was not targeted by him, instead being an unfortunate victim of opportunity, as he was the first non-civilian Frazier saw that was close enough for him to grab and capture.
The Intelligence Unit is concerned about Mouse, especially Jay, but Hank promises that he'll be fine. They decide to look into Sarah's finances, and discover that some strange purchases were made. Looking into it, they find that a store clerk and his friend stole Sarah's credit card after it was abandoned in her car.
Meanwhile, a captive Mouse is still externally very calm and realizes that Frazier is a fellow army veteran. He manages to engage him in conversation using his own military service, coming to see him not as a criminal but as a desperate man looking to save his daughter. Frazier chuckles at how Mouse succeeded in getting him to talk.
Intelligence soon discovers Sarah was meeting with a guy named Trevor Dunn on a date site before she vanished. They look into the man who met other women who vanished like Sarah, meaning he is the culprit. The unit investigates him and find he has a building with cameras and soon discover caged women in the basement. Both Al and Antonio (who both have daughters) want to personally punish the Casanova after finding he tortured the women with a chimney poker.
They bring the women to the hospital, with one coherent enough to give info, including about Sarah who was the only one that did not break before being taken. Intelligence brings the woman to the precinct, where they find the officers armed for Frazier. However, Hank tells Frazier that they are getting close because the woman has seen Sarah. The woman says Sarah was alive the last time she saw her. Frazier is initially skeptical until the woman provides info of the Frazier family trip, proving she has seen Sarah. Convinced, Frazier opens the door and talks more to the woman who reveals Sarah was the only one who didn't break from the torture but Frazier worries over what happened and asks how come they couldn't find Sarah. When Mouse sees the squad ready to shoot, he seizes an opportunity and pulls Frazier's own gun on him, allowing the force to place him in custody. Regardless, Hank says they still have a girl to save.
In the holding cell, Mouse later goes to visit Frazier who apologizes "man-to-man" for holding him hostage. Not mad, Mouse promises that he will find Sarah, as Voight will get the job done. He remarks that he chose the right precinct to come to.
Intelligence finds out that Trevor is currently meeting another woman who is potentially his next victim. Tracking Trevor to the bus stop, the squad are able to scoop him up and bring him in. While in holding, Trevor is given a piece of the torture he put the girls through when Hank brutally interrogates him for information and he reveals that it was a part of a trafficking organization.
The Intelligence Unit raid the house and find the leader dead with bullets, while Sarah is nowhere to be seen. They eventually reach the train station, where people are running away. The unit find Sarah covered in blood, armed with a gun and contemplating suicide. Erin speaks with her but Sarah refuses to live with the pain and the unit has Hank get her father. Voight gets permission from the Commander to retrieve Frazier. He goes to the cell room, where he tells Frazier that his daughter has been found. Frazier is surprised to hear this, before Hank handcuffs him and informed him that they were going to meet with Sarah right now.
Back at the train station, Lindsay is trying to calm Sarah who notices that the cops are acting odd meaning they might arrest her. Sarah refuses to be put in another cage and places the gun to her chin. At that point, Hank has arrived with Sarah’s father and Lindsay tells Sarah to hold off on shooting herself because someone is here. Hank then releases Frazier from the handcuffs and allows him to meet with his daughter. Lindsay tells Sarah that her father has arrived and Frazier catches her attention. Surprised, Sarah stops trying to shoot herself and embraces her father, touched and overjoyed that he came for her. The squad leave the father and daughter to reconnect.
Hank speaks with Mouse, stating when he returned Frazier's gun as evidence, he noticed that despite the fact that he thought he saw ammunition in the barrel when Mouse was initially taken hostage, but found the gun is unloaded. This reduces Frazier's charges to reckless endangerment, meaning that he can stay with his daughter instead of going to prison. He asked Mouse if he did anything with the bullets to which the latter denies as a coincidence.
At the bar, Jay and Mouse share a drink and talk about the day. Mouse confesses to Jay that he unloaded the gun, showing him a handful of bullets. He and Jay talk briefly about an incident during their deployment where one of their unit was kidnapped, and when they found him and his kidnappers, they did "a lot worse than hold a gun to someone's head". Mouse hides the bullets in a filing cabinet, and he and Jay drink to "extenuating circumstances".
Meanwhile, Michelle is sent to the training center run by Antonio. She reveals that her father sent her to see him before telling him it's Alvin. Surprised to learn of Alvin's big secret, Antonio agreed to train her. Antonio then asks if the Olinsky family knows about. At the same time, Al informs the rest of his family about Michelle and they are quite shocked to hear this news before Alvin's wife kicks him out. A tearful Lexi called out to her mother while Alvin tells her that he cannot lose her in bags for her to understand.
Wanting some peace after the case, Hank decides to go out to dinner with his son, daughter-in-law and grandson but when opening the door, he hears a sound and orders for his family to get down before a car bomb goes off.
