CHICAGO P.D.: Marina Squerciati Previews ‘Pawns’ and Shares Her Thoughts About Burzek’s Wedding

The Wednesday, November 6 episode of CHICAGO P.D. has the potential to be a big hour for Burgess (Marina Squerciati). According to NBC’s official tease, “Burgess is put to the test as she looks to make an advancement in her career.”

“I remember when I was first passed over for detective—my mom and whole family took it personally,” Squerciati tells Give Me My Remote in the video below. “They were like…Did you piss off [executive producer] Dick [Wolf]? Like, what happened? So I feel like my whole family is going to be very excited that I’m even getting another shot.”

“I think everybody knows that all of us—the OG [cast], Paddy [John Flueger, who plays Ruzek], LaRoyce [Hawkins, who plays Atwater], and I—are still POs, and I feel like we’ve proven ourselves and worked really hard,” she continues. “At least one of us—I mean, all of us deserve it—but one of us has gotta make detective. So I’m really hoping that it’s me, and that I passed the test and the trials and tribulations that they throw at me.”

There is one big thing coming up for Burgess for sure later in the season: Her long-awaited wedding with Ruzek.

“There’s a line in this episode that [their daughter] Mak wants it in Belize and Luce, Brian Luce, our tech advisor, got married in Belize,” Squerciati shares. “So we’re all like, ‘…Maybe?’ Maybe Dick is like, ‘Let’s throw money at this. Let’s just fly the team to Belize.’ And…I’m not a universe person, but I’m gonna put it out into the universe.”

If that doesn’t work out, Squerciati has thoughts about what a Burzek wedding shouldn’t be. “I don’t want it to be at Molly’s,” she says. “I don’t want it to be [at] a crime scene, [where] we have to do it really quick before the ambulance comes. I want a Kim Burgess [wedding]…I want flowers. I want a veil. I want the whole thing, and I would love it to be on a beach.”

And, the actress acknowledges, the duo deserves this bit of happiness. “I feel like everyone’s waited so long for this,” she says. “Let’s give them a show. I’m really excited to shop for wedding dresses!”
