Throughout Season 10, Burgess's storylines hinted at her potential exit from the force.

In Episode 14, Chicago P.D. hits its 200th-episode milestone. In doing so, it reflects on Kim's time with the force, specifically focusing on when she was kidnapped and shot in the final episodes of Season 8. She's forced to face her post-traumatic stress symptoms head-on, and in doing so, she may have to leave the force.

During the episode, Burgess is at home with Officer Adam Ruzek (Patrick John Flueger) and her daughter Makayla when they hear a car backfire. This reminds her of when she was shot, when Makayla found Burgess bleeding out on the floor. After a quick therapy session, Burgess goes back out on the field, where she and Ruzek chase down a shooter and victim onto a subway train. As Burgess stays with the victim while he bleeds out, she reconciles her own trauma once again.

"Trapped" is a harrowing episode that peeks at the ramifications of violent crime after it takes place, and how PTS symptoms can affect officers and all those involved. In this case, Kim even goes to therapy to deal with this, but it's going to be a long journey.

“I can’t be who I want to be with this, not for my daughter, not for Adam, and I can’t be a cop,” she says to her therapist. “They bench cops for this. I can’t not do this job. I don’t ever want to not do this job. You said I’m trapped. But I can’t be trapped.” Now, we're all worried that she could be leaving the Intelligence Unit while she deals with her mental health.
