🌱 HAPPY EARTH DAY 🍅

kim was shot by roy in 8x16 and then killed by hailey and buried by vo*ght but when jay was shot by angela nelson in 7x09 why didn't vo*ght kill angela nelson? and let them get away with it?

That's an interesting question. You are definitely right; Jay and Kim were both kidnapped and shot, but Voight handled each suspect differently. Why is that? Here is my answer:

If you think back to S7, the Angela West mess started in 7x06 when Jay and Voight accidentally imprisoned an innocent man and got him killed. And to protect their careers and the Chicago Police Department, they decided to cover up evidence in the case. Even though they had solved the Marcus West issue, Jay still took it hard and blamed himself for the innocent man's death, so he decided to secretly help Marcus West's wife, Angela, and their son. Things were fine until they both got kidnapped, and Jay finally came clean to Angela about who he is and what he did. This led to Angela shooting him and the events of 7x10. So why did Voight let her go? I think the main reason is that he realized that Angela wouldn't be in this situation if the CPD had done their jobs right the first time. Marcus would have been a free man, the actual killer would have been in prison, and Angela and her son would be in a better place. He knew Jay was blaming himself for Marcus' death. Voight also felt responsible for what happened. Voight may have hated Angela for almost killing Jay, but he also felt bad for that woman and her son. Her entire life is falling apart because of CPD's actions.

On the other hand, Roy Walton is a monster. He not only tortured and killed the Deputy Superintendent's son. He also killed all the young girls he was trafficking and shot Kim Burgess. Up until 8x16, no one from Intelligence or CPD had done anything to destroy Roy's life. Roy was a monster; letting him go free would only destroy the city of Chicago. Voight and Miller had a close bond, and when Miller's son was found dead, he made it his duty to find the person responsible. And along the way, he found more bodies that made him hate Roy even more.

Like Jay said, Angela West is a good person who was just in a bad situation. A bad situation because of Voight and Jay. The only reason why Angela was dealing drugs and doing some stupid stuff is because she was desperate to keep her son alive. I hate that Angela shot Jay, but I understood why she did it. She was angry, hopeless, and frustrated at herself, Marcus, and Jay.

I hope this helps you understand the reason why Voight acted differently in each situation. Your question is definitely valid and reasonable.

Favorite worried Hailey moment(s):

Obvious must haves on this one are 6x02 when Jay was shot & 7x09 when he was MIA/ended up being kidnapped because her partner— her anchor, her rock, her one and only lifeline— was in danger. & she would do anything she could for him. But also gotta give a shoutout to 7x10 when she makes identical expressions of forlorn sadness when Will gives an update on Jay, & after talking to Vanessa, because in both of those moments, reality hits her and she finally realizes the gravity of it all (IMO). 🥺💔 +bonus = 7x06 because let’s face it, we love a work wifey making sure her work husband is okay
