The next episode of Chicago P.D. puts the spotlight on a new detective’s past. The series continues its current season with Episode 12, titled “Missing.” This episode focuses on Officer Eva Imani and is scheduled to be the last show before a planned break in the schedule. The new episode airs on Wednesday, February 4, 2026, at 10:00 PM Eastern and Pacific Time on NBC. It will also be available for streaming the next day on Peacock.
“Missing” Episode Synopsis and Plot Focus
The official description for Chicago P.D. Season 13, Episode 12 centers on a cold case that becomes personal. The plot involves the Intelligence Unit looking into the sudden reappearance of a decades-old missing child case. During this investigation, details about Officer Eva Imani’s past begin to surface. The episode will show how this old case connects to Imani and how the new information affects her role within the team.
This episode marks an important step for the character of Eva Imani, played by actress Arienne Mandi. Imani joined the Intelligence Unit at the start of Season 13 as a former ATF agent. While she has been involved in cases throughout the season, this is the first episode to deeply explore her personal history and background. The case forces the entire team, led by Sergeant Hank Voight (Jason Beghe), to work through old evidence and new emotions to find the truth.
The episode’s official logline states: “Details about Imaniโs past emerge as the Intelligence Unit seeks the truth behind the sudden resurfacing of a decades-old missing child case.”
