It looks like Hailey Upton's final story arc will be an emotional one, forcing her to confront things she'd rather not think of — at least according to "Chicago P.D." showrunner Gwen Sigan. "We find her at the start of this season in a precarious place; wanting to move her life forward after finally taking off her ring, finding that it's more difficult than she'd like," Sigan told TV Line. She added that Upton's going to have to face up to her own weaknesses, problems, and struggles — the problem is she doesn't know how to confront them at first.
Therefore, it's likely that Hailey will spend the rest of the season trying to figure out where she stands with her job, her life, and her personal affairs. What she decides to do and where she decides to go will likely take her right off the series; Tracy Spiridakos' departure from "Chicago P.D." has not been narrowed to a definable date, but will occur before the shortened Season 11 is up. Fans will have to hold tight to see if the show gives Jay Halstead and Hailey the desired April and Ethan-style exit they may have seen on sister show "Chicago Med."
