Imani has certainly jumped in and helped Intelligence with cases, but she hasn’t shared a lot about herself. That could change on Chicago PD season 13 episode 12.
Imani takes the lead on a case, which involves a cold case from 25 years ago. A new lead comes up about a missing child, and Imani is straight on the investigation. This isn’t the first time a child has touched at her heartstrings, and that’s sure to be a clue to her past.
What happened to Ben on Chicago PD season 13 episode 12?
The big question from the promo is “what happened to Ben?” He went missing 25 years earlier, and now a new lead has come up. Is it possible that Ben is still alive out there? Was he made to take on a new identity, or does he think that whoever took him did it to help him? Sometimes, it turns out that there was abuse and taking the child away was for their own safety.
In fact, this has come up in real life. There are stories of people taking their children away from abusive partners, but they’ve ended up with kidnapping charges, despite being the other parent.
However, Chicago PD doesn’t tend to go the route of there being a valid reason or concern. Instead, there’s something darker and twistier going on, and we’re sure to see that play out on Chicago PD season 13 episode 12.
More about Imani’s past coming up in the episode
The synopsis promises us that we’ll get to know more about Imani’s past. Is it possible that this case was one that she worked on? She doesn’t quite seem old enough for that to be the case, but it’s probably one that affected her. She tends to get drawn into the cases that involve children.
Details about Imani's past emerge as the Intelligence Unit seeks the truth behind the sudden resurfacing of a decades-old missing child case.
That’s likely because of the backstory with her sister. We know that her sister disappeared when Imani was just a young girl. With not knowing that and still likely hoping for answers, Imani likely attaches herself to the cases that she can bring answers for people.
Imani hasn’t been willing to share a lot about her past. She isn’t even interested in sharing her current situation, which involves living in 22 different places — but she isn’t the problem. There are far more questions than answers right now, but what we can tell is that something in her past drives her to be an excellent cop.
Chicago PD airs on Wednesdays at 10/9c on NBC and streams the following day on Peacock.
