Ep 10. Shouldn't Have Been Alone

In season 2 episode 10 of Chicago PD entitled "Shouldn't Have Been Alone," the Intelligence Unit is busy investigating a couple of high-profile cases. The episode opens with a tranquil scene of a woman on a night jog in the park. However, things quickly go wrong when she is attacked and barely manages to call out for help on her phone before blacking out.

The woman is rushed to the hospital where it is revealed that she has been viciously beaten up, and her attacker has made off with her purse, phone, and keys. Detective Lindsay, who is on the case, discovers that the victim made a call to a friend before her attack, and they trace the call to a man called Oliver Tuxhorn. Further investigation reveals that Tuxhorn has a string of previous offenses and is a known abuser.

Meanwhile, Detective Voight is working on a different case involving a bar where the owner is mugged and robbed at gunpoint. The owner, who suffers from PTSD, is traumatized by the event and has no memory of the crime. The suspects have been apprehended, but the Intelligence Unit is struggling to get a solid confession from any of them. The case takes a dark turn when one of the suspects is killed in his cell.

Detective Lindsay and her partner Detective Halstead are hot on the trail of Tuxhorn, who has become their prime suspect in the park attack case. They track him down and set up a sting operation, but things go awry when a young girl appears out of nowhere, brandishing a gun. The girl is revealed to be Tuxhorn's daughter, who has been living with him and privy to his abusive behavior. She too has a criminal history and is frantically trying to protect her father, who she mistakenly believes to be innocent.

Detective Voight, who is overseeing both cases, is baffled by the turn of events, but he and his team continue their dogged pursuit of the truth. As the stories progress, the characters are forced to confront their own demons and come to terms with the harsh realities of justice and the law.
