Jay Halstead’s Farewell in Chicago PD Season 10 Episode 3

A longstanding officer’s official resignation resulted in a significant change to the Intelligence Unit in one of the most painful episodes of Chicago P.D. yet. Detective Jay Halstead (Jesse Lee Soffer), who has appeared on our screens since Season 1, left Chicago and his wife Hailey Upton (Tracy Spiridakos). Jay is the younger brother of Chicago Med’s primary character, Dr. Will Halstead. The CPD no longer employs Jay Halstead. After avoiding Upton for another hour, Jay suddenly understood that he had changed, and not for the better. Then why and how did everything happen in “A Good Man,” Episode 3 of Season 10? So, let’s go over all (tvacute.com) know about it! Spoiler Ahead!

How Jay Halstead is bidding the NBC show’s universe farewell. We were concerned that he might be killed off in advance.  The great news is that his character Det. Jay Halstead did not pass away and might come back at some point. It wouldn’t be the first time a favorite character who had left One Chicago had come back. This married guy has given everything he has to attempt to improve Intelligence, even if it means going up against Hank Voight, his own superior. Our frustration with his story in the first two episodes stems primarily from the fact that it seemed inconsistent with the Halstead we have come to know over the years. So what took place? Why did he decide to leave CPD?

Jay once more circumvented the law to catch the perpetrators in a case involving preserving the reputation of an Army veteran who had helped commit a crime. For the sake of the man’s family and reputation, he chose not to report the vet, who ultimately lost her life protecting another woman. However, Jay made the decision to leave Intelligence after realizing that he had breached the law once more and stabbed a guy in the process. He revealed to Hailey that he had joined an Army unit that hunted down Cartel soldiers and that they were sending him to Bolivia for eight months. Hailey is devastated. She cries out to him, “You can’t just leave. He assures her that he will return to his true love in 8 months. While crying as well, he continued, “You have to let me go.”

Voight (Jason Beghe) came to say goodbye at the airport and made him an offer for any position he wanted to stay in. In response, Jay said that the issue was that he wanted to be Voight. He said to his former supervisor, “It’s like you’ve always told me: I’m not, and I shouldn’t try. They shook hands after that, and Jay departed Chicago. Jay Halstead is now gone, but he may return in the future. Even Nevertheless, the episode’s ending was upsetting because he accepted this military position without even mentioning it to Hailey beforehand.

Why did Jesse Lee Soffer leave the Chicago PD?

Is it true that Jesse Lee Soffer will no longer play the role of Jay Halstead on Chicago PD? In Chicago PD Season 10 Episode 3, he made an appearance in his last episode of the NBC drama. In his statement to Variety, he spoke highly of his experience as a series regular on the venerable show. He withheld information regarding the precise details of his leave, nevertheless.

Variety announced in August that Soffer will be leaving the program, with his final episode airing in the tenth season.“I want to thank the incredible fans for their unwavering support during the past 10 years and want to express my deepest gratitude to Dick Wolf and everyone at Wolf Entertainment, Peter Jankowski, Matt Olmstead, Derek Haas, Michael Brandt, Rick Eid, Gwen Sigan, NBC, Universal Television, my fellow castmates and our incredible crew,”  He also added, To create this hour of drama week after week has been a labor of love by everyone who touches the show. I will always be proud of my time as Det. Jay Halstead.”
