Dante Torres returned from his two-month furlough in Chicago P.D.'s fourth episode in the 2024 TV schedule, but he didn't exactly ease himself back into the action of the Intelligence Unit. The officer immediately went undercover to try and get some hard proof against a Chicago drug trafficker, which involved recruiting the trafficker's wife as a very reluctant CI. By the end, Torres may have made a very big mistake with her, but actor Benjamin Levy Aguilar opened up to CinemaBlend about what was actually quite easy.
Torres had been on furlough for a couple of months to take care of his mother, who was very ready for him to stop hovering by the beginning of "Escape." He informed Atwater that he'd promised God that he'd always do the right thing if he let his mom live, which... really makes me wonder if he thinks he did the right thing at the end of this episode. Aguilar previewed that Torres "thinks he's okay" at the beginning of the episode; whether that's the case by the end is open to interpretation.
