Chicago PD Season 12, Episode 22 Release Date & Time

The finale of Chicago PD Season 12 has finally arrived, and it’s going to be a momentous one. Season 12, Episode 22, “Vows,” won’t just be wrapping up the season’s original storylines, but one of the longest-running plots in the entire series. At long last, two heroes who’ve been a part of the series since Season 1 will be getting their fairy tale ending.After twelve seasons, Adam Ruzek and Kim Burgess are finally getting married in this week’s Chicago PD. The couple’s relationship has always been a tumultuous one, and a major draw of the series, which makes “Vows” a landmark episode in the One Chicago universe. Of course, there’s no guarantee Ruzek and Burgess’ wedding will go smoothly, with Deputy Chief Reid having recently become more dangerous than ever, and Dante Torres’ fate still up in the air.It’s been a long road for Detective Kim Burgess and Officer Adam Ruzek to reach where they are now. The two have had an on-and-off relationship since Chicago PD Season 1, they’ve gotten engaged twice in the past, only to break things off, and they’ve even lost a child. Now, however, the third time looks to be the charm, and Burgess and Ruzek’s long-awaited wedding is finally happening, even as their professional lives are being filled with turmoil.

Chicago PD Season 12, Episode 22, “Vows,” isn’t just closing out the police procedural’s latest season, but a storyline eleven years in the making. Alongside a promo hyping up the climactic season finale, NBC has released a plethora of behind-the-scenes photos, as well as a logline for the episode. The logline reads, “Ruzek and Burgess’ wedding day arrives. Chapman grows closer to Voight, and Torres faces the emotional fallout of his actions.”

Based on the logline, it’s clear that “Vows” won’t be ignoring Season 12’s other plotlines, in favor of solely placing attention on the happy couple. Depending on how things go for Hank Voight and Nina Chapman, there may even be a new love story starting as the series’ most iconic one comes to an end. Dante Torres’ struggle has left fans in suspense over the past several months, with suspicions even arising that they may be leading to his departure from Chicago PD and, especially following his loathsome actions in Season 12, Episode 21, “Open Casket,” fans are eager to see big bad Deputy Chief Reid go down.For the final few episodes of Season 12, Chicago PD has maintained a steady and consistent weekly release schedule. Season 12, Episode 21, “Open Casket,” the penultimate episode of the season, aired just last week. This Wednesday, the finale of Chicago PD Season 12 will be premiering immediately after the season finales of its sister series, Chicago Fire and Chicago Med.

Earlier this month, Chicago PD was renewed for a 13th season. Chicago PD Season 13 will begin airing in fall 2025, alongside Chicago Fire Season 14 and Chicago Med Season 11. While it’s already been announced that several cast members will be departing from Chicago Fire, the entire main cast of Chicago PD Season 12 appears set to reprise their roles in Season 13. All three series, however, are set to face budget cuts, and it’s likely that the episode counts of their next seasons will be lower than usual.
