The Plot: Munoz, the assassin who escaped the house where Burgess and Nadia went undercover as hookers two episodes back, is still on the loose and still committing murders, hence Pulpo’s return, and Voight is forced to work with Lieutenant Belden, whom he still believes was responsible for the bad intel that got Willhite killed by Pulpo weeks back. Commander Perry is unhappy about the communication – or lack thereof – between the two.
Pulpo is their pipeline to Munoz. Dawson goes undercover as a friend of Pulpo’s to meet up with Munoz, but the assassin is a step ahead, and kills two Ukrainian mobsters. The Intelligence Unit realise that Pulpo used them to wipe out the factions in his own gang.
Lindsay and Halstead learn that Pulpo has a secret wife and son. It’s just the leverage that Voight needs. He threatens to arrest Pulpo’s wife and send his son into the foster system, and that’s enough to get Pulpo to give up the information Intelligence is after. Munoz is targeting a high-level figure at a festival.
There, Munoz and his sniper kill their target’s bodyguards and are in the midst of finishing the job in the middle of a now-panicked crowd, but Halstead kills Munoz (and Olinsky takes care of the sniper) before they get a chance.
Ruzek’s fiancĂ©e calls off their engagement, citing the change in Ruzek since he joined Intelligence. Lindsay gets a visit from a former friend called Charlie, and she’s not happy to see him. Nor is Voight, who warns Lindsay not to let Charlie get in the way.

Shockingly,
Jin is revealed to be the mole inside the squad. He’s working for Stillwell,
instead of Sumner, whom Voight clearly suspected.
Erin receives an unwelcome visit from a former friend, Charlie Pugliese, and Voight tells her to not let Charlie get in the way. Jin is revealed to be the reluctant rat working alongside Stillwell. Pulpo is brought in to see his wife and child one more time, and Pulpo’s wife helps her husband escape. Dawson, Belden and two others are shot.
My Thoughts: Well, Pulpo makes his promised big return, and he ends the episode with a bang, too.
It was almost as shocking to see Dawson and Belden gunned down by Pulpo, with an assist from his wife, as it was to learn that the quiet Jin is Stillwell’s mole inside Voight’s squad. I guess it makes sense, though, at least in hindsight. Sumner was too obvious – you’d be insulting the intelligence of your viewers – and Jin is the right sort of guy to be able to cover his tracks, being the resident technical wizard. He’s also the least developed character of them all, so it kinda makes sense.
Willing to bet that Voight won’t be particularly happy when he finds out Jin is working for Stillwell, and I’m also willing to bet that Voight will find out sometime during the final two episodes that close out the season.
It appears that Lindsay has her own issues with someone from her past, and given that Voight is aware of Charlie Pugliese, I get the feeling that this guy isn't someone she should be associating with. Still, it’s another piece of the complicated Erin Lindsay puzzle, whose reasons for popping up will doubtless be explored over the coming two episodes.
