Chicago P.D. Season 14 Episode 5 recap: Burgess goes undercover to catch Jared Munson

Chicago P.D. Season 14 Episode 5 turned an ordinary high-speed chase into an undercover assignment for Burgess. While Burgess was leaving for work, she came across a fleeing offender who crashed her car into a parked vehicle. While the female driver was found dead at the scene, Burgess found cash and dr*gs in the backseat, hinting at a larger conspiracy.

As Burgess reached out to Voight, she tracked the firecracker logo on the dr*gs to a DTO leader named Jared Munson. Burgess revealed that Munson had many carriers in the field, with the deceased woman likely one of them. Since Narcotics had been after Munson for six years, Burgess suggested going undercover to catch him. The cash and dr*gs were the perfect opportunity for Burgess to infiltrate Munson's inner circle and earn his trust. Soon, Burgess was set up in her new undercover apartment.

After tracking down one of Munson's runners in Chicago P.D. Season 14 Episode 5, Burgess received a text from the dealer to meet him at a bar. Munson's girlfriend, Dee Dee, led Burgess to a bar to meet up with Munson. Burgess revealed she was eyeing a finder's fee in exchange for the cash and dr*gs. Munson was likely impressed by Burgess' loyalty and made her a part of his crew, hinting that her undercover mission was going in the right direction.

Things turned chaotic in Chicago P.D. Season 14 Episode 5 during Burgess' first mission. While Ruzek almost provided backup, Burgess de-escalated the situation while keeping her cover. Burgess suggested stealing Dee Dee's key to plant a bug in Munson's cook's house for intel.

While Burgess assumed Dee Dee would be at her beauty school, Burgess heard screaming from the apartment. Turns out Dee Dee was having an episode and experiencing delusions when Burgess showed up at her apartment. Burgess calmed Dee Dee down and successfully imprinted the key, while Munson's girlfriend slept.

Burgess' cover is blown in Chicago P.D. Season 14 Episode 5

Burgess returned to her undercover apartment in Chicago P.D. Season 14 Episode 5, only to get a call from Ruzek, who warned her that her cover had been blown. Ruzek spotted Munson snooping around their house and keeping tabs on Mack, meaning he was onto Burgess.

While Burgess rushed to her car, Munson appeared on her doorstep. When Burgess announced her real identity, Munson revealed that Dee Dee had taken off with his cash. As Munson pressed Burgess about Dee Dee's whereabouts, Watts showed up. While Munson fled, Voight and the team tracked down Dee Dee to one of her friends' houses.

It looks like Watts and Burgess were late, as Dee Dee and her friend were already dead. The duo followed a trail of blood and looked through local gyms to track Munson. Burgess hit the jackpot when they found a gym with another trail of blood. As Munson burst in with a gun, Burgess gained the upper hand and fatally shot the dealer, ending her undercover mission with a bang.
