Chicago P.D. returned to screens on Wednesday and fans were shocked to see Officer Adam Ruzek close the door in his ex-fiance Kim Burgess' face.

The pair remain close but Patrick John Flueger has now explained that Adam has always seen Kim as his "rock" and that was why he acted the way viewers saw.

Kim had knocked on Adam's door and asked him "what did you do?" after Adam shot gang leader Lucas to save his father, beat cop Bob, who had borrowed money to cover a gambling debt.

However her question, an accusation, left Adam feeling "alone," says Patrick.

"She could’ve asked, ‘What happened?’ But ‘What did you do?’ is an accusation and to have his bedrock make that kind of accusation towards him, it’s too much to bear with everything else that’s going on," he told TV Insider.

Adam's decision to save his father from gang violence - and allowing him to retire with his pension in tact - has put even more strain on their relationship though.

The pair were seen arguing in the hospital after, and Bob once again claims Adam may be ruining their family name.

Patrick added to the publication that during filming the pair used a lot of ad-libs, and that it was a "blast to shoot because they let us go free."

"We got a camera crew that’ll just follow you anywhere," he shared.
