‘Chicago P.D.’ Season 9: 3 Best Fan Theories About Who Took Makayla
Poor Kim Burgess just can’t catch a break in Chicago P.D. Season 9. Although she survived her gunshot wounds from Roy Walton, things haven’t been easy for her. Burgess adopted her daughter Makayla in season 8 but nearly lost custody of her in season 9. Then just when it seemed like everything would be fine, Burgess went home to find that someone kidnapped her daughter. These are some of the best fan theories about who could have taken Makayla.
Someone kidnapped Makayla in ‘Chicago P.D.’ Season 9 Episode 14
In Chicago P.D. Season 9, Makayla’s father is in prison for killing her mother. Adam Ruzek and Burgess found her wandering the streets the previous season. Now, Burgess is Makayla’s adoptive mother, but Makayla’s biological uncle came out of the woodwork in episode 12 to try to take custody of his niece.
In episode 14, Burgess’ attorney warns her that there is a very real chance she will lose custody of Makayla. However, in a random stroke of luck, Burgess wins the case and maintains custody of her daughter.
Her happiness is unfortunately short-lived. She kisses Ruzek outside her apartment, then the two go inside, likely ready to celebrate. As soon as they open the door, the pair find Makayla’s babysitter bleeding on the floor, and Makayla is nowhere to be found.
Fans have theories about who took Makayla
Fans have a few compelling theories about who could have taken Makayla in Chicago P.D. Season 9. The most popular theory seems to be that Makayla’s uncle took her after losing the custody battle for his niece.
“I knew from the moment the uncle stepped forward that he still has ties with his brother. There’s no way that guy is that perfect,” one Reddit user wrote. Another fan thinks that perhaps Makayla’s dad is still managing to make trouble from inside his prison cell. “It’s probably an associate of Makayla’s father,” they wrote.
Finally, a third theory exists that Makayla’s kidnapping has something to do with the case Burgess worked in last week’s episode. “So my husband watched with me and I just KNEW before she opened that door that a nightmare was waiting on the other side. He thinks that someone from the cult took her,” a fan added to the forum.
In episode 14, Voight’s Intelligence Unit investigated a cult. The cult leader, a man named Micah, lied to his female members to get them to kill for him. At the end of the episode, Burgess kills Micah, but it’s definitely possible that he has some surviving delusional followers willing to do anything for their leader.
When does ‘Chicago P.D’ Season 9 Episode 15 air?
Chicago P.D. Season 9 Episode 15 will air Wednesday, March 9 at 10 p.m. EST on NBC. Episode 15 will clearly be all about finding Makayla. The synopsis on One Chicago Center reads “The unit scrambles to search for one of their own who is in grave danger.” Hopefully, the unit can rescue Makayla in time, and Burgess can maintain custody of her daughter.
