Imani makes herself more at home on Chicago P.D. Season 13 Episode 4, “Root Cause.” As Voight’s newest protégé, they work on the newest case very closely. Him keeping an eye on her is a good sign that he wants to keep her on the team for the long run.
However, working this closely means Imani is present when a chilling secret from Voight’s past comes back to haunt him.
After the photo of a bruised child is left on Voight’s windshield, Imani begins to ask questions. Will this lead to a case Voight worked on before? Or is this a secret viewers know nothing about?

Meanwhile, the team works together to solve a string of robberies that are putting the streets of Chicago at risk.
