She told TV Insider that the detective promotion storyline will be revealing, especially for the promoted person. Chicago P.D. Season 12, Episode 6,"Pawns," makes good on that promise as Kim takes her detective test. The episode is Burgess-centric, as teased in the episode's logline below.

Taking a child from their parents is something Kim would never do, no matter what that means for her career."This is your only shot!" the instructor pressures her."Do this in a better way," Kim says when the promo ends.
“Someone’s getting promoted, and it’s somebody, I think, who’s wanted it for a while and that it made a lot of sense for us. In the room, we’ve talked about that storyline for so long, but how do you make it a story? How do you make it interesting? How do you make it something that really reveals something about who this person is and is not just a piece of paper?”
When it happens, the promotion will change the dynamics of the unit, given that it is short on detectives. This promotion shoots Burgess to the top of the food chain to a position previously held by Upton."I think it’ll add some new dynamics to the unit," Sigan teased. ✕ Remove Ads Will Kim succeed? Will she have to sacrifice her ideals to move up? Find out when"Pawns" airs on NBC on Wednesday, November 6. Catch up on Peacock before One Chicago returns from the two-week hiatus.
