So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep

And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe

And something reminds you you wish you had stayed

You can plan for a change in the weather and time

But I never planned on you changing your mind

I never thought we'd have a last kiss

Never imagined we'd end like this

Your name, forever the name on my lips

ya'll can disagree all you want with me on this but jay's exit last night and him these 3 episodes in general made sense to me.

sure was his whole personality a 180, a little, but i think it was inevitable to happen. we've seen characters many times who get close to voight reach their breaking point, we see them lose themselves in trying to be who they aren't. . it's been shown time and time again, you want to emulate voight, there's a price to pay. we hear jay say it to voight in 9x09 "it's the price we pay for you"

i think after the s9a fallout and jay telling voight "you bring me in and we figure a way out" was the turning point for this change we see in jay in the first 3 episodes of s10, it wasn't obvious as it has been these last 3 eps, but it was there. he's getting close to voight because he's seen it destroy those he loves and he wants to protect others from that, mostly hailey. voight has no one in terms of family, however he needs someone in his corner so he doesn't completely fall off the deep end, and jay steps into that role because he feels like he has to, because he feels like it's the right thing. are the choices he's making in these 3 eps the right ones, no, because in him doing what he believed was the right thing, he lost who he truly is.

the climax of 10x03 snaps jay back into himself, "we're doing it again" and he can't handle the person he became because he wanted to keep voight in check. he lost himself in trying to protect those around him. so him quitting the cpd and rejoining the army in a special-ops is what he needed. he needs to see a clear picture of right and wrong again, he needs to find his moral compass again. and yeah it's massive blow for haliey and their marriage, but she understands that he needs this, he isn't himself and he needs to find that again, she wants that for him as much as he wants it for himself. she understands not only because she loves him but she too lost herself in the job, she says in 8x03 that going to nyc for a few weeks to work with the feds is "what i needed at the time", so she gets that this is what he needs now. the final upstead scene broke my heart, that emotion from jesse and tracy was palpable and damn that scene will always hurt

while i hate to see him go, it was done in a way i think was honorable to the 10 years jesse lee soffer dedicated to this show and his character. and hell if he is proud of the episode and his work, then i am too.

feel free to disagree with me, these are just my thoughts

one of my favourite things about CPD is how unfazed the bystanders are when the squad is chasing a criminal lol. i'm rewatching 8x03 and when Upstead arrests Truman, it's frickin' funny to watch the onlookers just watch as Upstead takes down a criminal like the badasses they are

I’m rewatching 8x03 for the 85th time and did we all just completely ignore the fact that Jay had a bloody nose after him and Hailey chased down that perp? Like we all just skated over that right? And then they didn’t mention it? Or show Hailey playing nurse for just a minute in the locker room? A missed opportunity and I am offended.

Clothes and Chicago PD

I had planned for this to be much more in depth, and there will be a longer one coming for every member of the cast (except Trudy my beloved cause we only really see her in her uniform), but the way the CPD wardrobe team reuses items is really clever, and it’s got to be more than just coincidence. So without further ado, the way clothes play a role for Hailey, Kim, and Adam in Chicago PD.

The one thing for Hailey is she always dresses for comfort. But there’s two items of hers that whenever they appear on screen I know something is going to happen - the red thick checked flannel (the Emotional Support Flannel, if you will), and her maroon coat.

We first see the ESF in 6x06, when Hailey’s telling Adam that her Dad was like that. He’s the first person she’s really opened up to, and it just goes from there. It’s the shirt she wears whenever there’s an emotionally charged conversation - 6x14 telling Kim about her and Adam, 7x10 when she so very nearly tells Jay her feelings, and 8x11 when she does tell him she loves him.

It’s the flannel when shit goes down. When Hailey Upton has a moment that’s going to set her world alight, it’s what she wears. We most recently saw it in 9x08 when she wears it as Jay manhandles her into the bathroom to tell her about the bugs. Yet another moment she’s emotionally vulnerable, and she’s wearing it. Every time she wears it she’s vulnerable about her relationships. It’s such a perfect example that it can’t be a coincidence.

We see it a little bit in s8 with the maroon coat too. She wears it in 8x03 when they kiss for the first time. Then again in 8x05 when they’re flirting about the chocolate in the truck, Hailey moving away from Jay. And then finally we see it in 8x09, when Jay’s hit by Andre so he can keep his cover. In comparison to the high emotions of the ESF, this coat is fun. And we can see that even clearer when she wears the blue one in 8x11. She doesn’t wear her fun outfit when she’s emotionally fraught.

But Hailey’s not the only one. Kim’s mustard coat is the perfect example, it’s the coat she wears when motherhood is the topic. She wore it when she miscarried, lying in the bathtub as Adam lifted her out. She wore it in 8x03 for the first time since the miscarriage, meeting Makayla while wearing it and finding her family’s killers. She wore it protecting Makayla. Again, family.

And again in 8x05. She’s wearing it when she sees Makayla in the DCFS offices, when Makayla runs and hugs her because this woman, this coat that for this woman has meant loss, now means safety. It means two people who took care of her.

And then in 8x13, the episode that was family for Kim most of all. It’s on her when she sees the dead body of a pregnant teenager, shot while trying to save herself and her child. She wears it when she’s nearly shot, when her ex fiancée and the father of the child they lost points out there’s a bullet hole (which nearly perfectly matches up with one of her wounds from 8x16 but look that’s not the purpose of this meta). She wears it the next day because she’s a mom and she doesn’t have time to replace it. It’s what she wears to comfort her terrified daughter, holding her and reminding her she’s too little to be brave. Kim Burgess knows all about being brave when you don’t think you can be, and it’s the last thing she wants for her child. It’s the last thing we see in that episode after Kim asks Adam to be a family, a big round thing for that little girl who’s now a Burgess and is so loved. And they say clothes don’t have symbolism.

There’s another coat of Kim’s that she doesn’t wear often, but it’s always when there’s moments between Burzek of high emotion, and that’s the red one. She wore it when she told Adam she was keeping their baby, that they were a family. She wore it in 8x02 when she thought Adam was dead, making sure he was still alive and the bullet hadn’t pierced through his vest. And she’s wearing it in the 9x09 promo photos. If the mustard coat means motherhood, the red one means she cares deeply for Adam Ruzek.

Adam’s clothes are similar, but it’s not as obvious as the two women’s. His flannel colours tell a story. Red flannel is emotion, but normally it’s Kim. In every episode this season they’ve had a lot of interaction - 9x02 comes to mind most particularly - that he’s worn flannel in (because 9x06 was tragically flannel less apart from the last scene), he’s been in red. The red and white flannel at Kim’s and meeting his CI, that night when they found her body. 9x05, he’s wearing the rust flannel when he and Kim are working together. But not only is he just wearing that flannel, he’s wearing the exact same outfit as when Kim asked him to be custodian.

That blue bomber jacket has been worn multiple times (it’s even in this year’s promo photos, thank you photographers!), but he’s wearing the exact outfit as when he came over in that episode. An episode about Black children and the way they’re treated by a society that makes them grow up too fast, an episode that directly leads into the one where Adam rejects the protect cops at all costs rhetoric he’s spewed his entire life, because he’s grown and changed. Because he cares for a little girl now, and his life has grown.

There’s so many examples of him wearing that jacket throughout seasons 7, 8, and 9, but the one I keep coming back to is in 8x15, he’s holding it when they do the raid on the bar where the girls are dead. That’s the jacket he wears when he realises something, or that’s what it’s become. He wears it realising yes Kim trusts him with her daughter. He wears it realising that he has a child he needs to keep safe from the cruelty of the world because to quote Hailey in the next episode he’s taken that oath. He wears it when he realises this little girl that he clearly loves, who he brings out for brunch and who he leaves his poker game for to buy a platypus, will have a very different life to his because of her skin colour.

There’s so much more I can go into, but this show uses wardrobe as a character. Kim wearing the same sweater for the post miscarriage locker room fight and asking Adam to be custodian. Kevin wearing brighter colours as he becomes more aware of who he is as a person. Jay’s wardrobe morphing to be nearly a more modern Antonio as he takes the role Antonio once held - T-shirts that are cut well, jeans and boots to hold up to what they do on a daily basis. Voight’s main jackets lightening in colour as he moves more towards what’s “right”, but how even now we don’t see the man in colour. He prefers to be unobtrusive and hide in the background.

This is such fertile ground for a meta, and I’ve so much more, but this will work for now!

I need to talk about this scene

So Hailey asks if Jay thinks she should take the job and he responds

like

this

Not only does he choose his words extremely carefully but you can see he’s so proud of himself for sidestepping that landmine

Meanwhile Hailey’s like

Um no, no, you’re stepping on that mine even if I have to push you on it myself

#upstead #cpd 8x03 #i love everything about this #jay being so cautious #and hailey being unimpressed #he just wants what's best for her #and she just wants him #thank fuck she pushed him #no sidestepping today jay #5021upstead
