She goes to be with Halstead in Bolivia
With Halstead pretty much falling off the grid after taking an assignment in Bolivia, Hailey left message after message to no avail. What if she took matters into her own hands and just followed her husband to South America?
When Sean (played by guest star Jefferson White) — then a suspect in a human trafficking case — told Upton that she wanted to “save something too badly right now” in Season 10, Episode 7, we’re pretty sure she wasn’t pretending when she admitted that he was right about her and Halstead.
She clearly missed her husband, so it’s highly plausible that she would do whatever it takes to make their marriage work, even if that means leaving Intelligence to help him track down cartel targets in Bolivia. Besides, she and Halstead have already proven that they work well together.
IDK if Halstead is welcome back, which would negate the value in preserving her ability to return. I suspect they’ll ride her off into the sunset, leaving open the possibility of her return, even if that return is highly unlikely beyond a small cameo. Other shows have done that same thing repeatedly.
.
Of course, it might be time to “throw an elbow” and kill off someone who wants out. Showrunners do this all the time to send a message to the rest of the cast to stay in line.
Same they don’t have the stakes anymore in the early seasons in those years they were willing to off someone show the realism that police don’t always come home. Hell they killed both Antonio’s partner and Sheldon Jin in the first season alone.
I’m hoping Jay comes back and they decide to leave Chicago and start new somewhere else together. Upstead deserves a happy ending
With a couple as popular as Upstead, the only way to end their story is together. ER and Hawaii Five-0 got it right with Doug/Carol and Steve/Catherine. Jesse Lee Soffer has already said he would be open to coming back and what better way than for Jay to ride off into the sunset with the love of his life.
Ok the love of his life is Erin
What about detailing her out to the F.B.I. again, where Upton would help for however long, with the option to return to Chicago P.D. when needed for the story. I hate that her story has been so tied to Halstead’s – she is a great cop on her own. And Tracy was fantastic on the first crossover with F.B.I., would love to see here back there.
I hope that she takes a promotion because if I recall correctly in season 8 she was offered a job and rejected it to stay and that’s when she and Jay kissed and began a romantic relationship. I feel that if Jay didn’t have consideration for their marriage when he left then why should she? I feel like she should think about what is best for her and it shouldn’t be about a woman just following the man, Upton should also be portrayed as an independent woman regardless of her marital status. Killing her would be too harsh and taking a break would be odd in the case Tracy doesn’t plan on coming back and is okay with that. For the record Jay is my favorite but I was never an ‘Upstead’ supporter because I felt it was gonna be history repeating itself with the ‘Linstead’ situation.
They’ll go with the Disney ending even though they already did it on Med with Will and Natalie as toxic as those two were, at their worst they rivalled Halstead and his yearly dalliances in dysfunctional, it made sense Will and Natalie were cast members since the beginning when Med was a back door on Fire. Mini Cersei Lannister was always the outsider that thought she was better than everyone even cops who had more unit years than her. Her going down in the line is the most proper ending no better way to show you’re a team player so dying for the unit. Plus if the very first episode was any indication offing a blonde detective isn’t something thee show shies away from.
They should off her as the only one who never really cared for the team left nothing says unity like taking a bullet for the team.
Or….5. Someone is finally held accountable for their misdeeds and decisions. Instigating Darrius Walker’s murder, planting evidence, her role in the unlawful killing & cover up of Roy Walton. This show needs to show consequences for the dirty policing at some point. It would also open up opportunities to explore Voight’s role in the downfall of his sub-ordinates.
Going back to Halstead after he deserted her, ghosted her & extended his tour without telling her would do nothing for her. Rather it would reduce her to only being about her ship & be a cop out by the wirters to appease the vocal minority. She took the ring off for her own good, running back to Halstead diminish the growth she finally showed towards the end of the season.
Not to mention it’s already been done on Med twice, with a Halstead at that… can they be a little more creative, please,
5. she goes down as a dirty cop and held responsible her past actions and it’ll have no thing to do with Voight for once as he isn’t the only excuse for anyone to do wrong. she had been a det. for years before Voight so he didn’t shape her like others. 1.when we first met her she chose to lie and cover up for linsdey. 2.she planed the murder of Darrius on her own. 3.she ignored Voight warning of her wrong actions and disregarded his advice.
i sure hope they don’t kill her off bc that would just make me very depressed and i would cry my eyes out, i think she’s gonna go to bolivia because she misses jay that much
Join her husband. Then maybe they both could come back?

she died in action
I think they’ll write Hailey out by having her go find Jay. Jesse has said he’d be open to a guest appearance or two, so they could bring Jay back for an episode to send her off. I wouldn’t be surprised if they can’t get Jesse for that, though. Either way, I do think the most likely scenario is basically a combination of #1 and #2. It’s been close to a year since Jay left, which is over the time frame of 8 months he initially gave her. He also extended his tour without telling her, which was why she took off her ring to save her sanity. It would make sense for Hailey to go find Jay herself and take a break from the CPD at the same time. Most likely scenario in my opinion. I don’t see them killing Hailey off, since they didn’t kill Jay off. And, I don’t really see her getting promoted either.
Don’t want her to go. But if she has too, she should go to her husband!
I’m seriously sorry but please kill off her character or get promoted to out of state or out of town and only help the IU unit by phone call only please
My Wife and I in our 70’s now, liked Haley when playing on Revolution. We would like to see her stay on Chicago PD, she is a great addition to the show. However if she has to leave the unit, go on FBI again or promote her and have her in training others for this type of police work and have cameo appearences on show. Don’t hook back up with Halstead, for what he put you through.
Who cares as long as she does. Bring back Erin and let her find out Voight us her real father. Let’s get Antinio back, give Kevin a real love interest and bring back Nicole Ari Parker to hook up.with Voight.
