The NSA and some secret encrypted computer chips were at the center of Chicago PD Season 3 Episode 8. 

Below, TV Fanatics Elizabeth Harlow and Stacy Glanzman are joined by super fan Honey to discuss their thoughts on the case, Atwater's tough situation, and Burgess' own secret mission. 

Read on and then join in!

What did you think of the case?

Elizabeth: The NSA thing was different, so I liked that. It had some good twists and turns, but it wasn't riveting.

Honey: It was almost like Mouse's twin was there. I liked that part. It would be kind of cool if he were to become a part of that show, in a Federal kind of way like to the side sort of. It was different. I agree with Elizabeth it had a lot of twists and turns. It didn't grab me where I would hold on and not let go.

Stacy: It wasn't one of my favorites. There was a lot going on, but it didn't hold my interest as much as others.

What would you have done if you were Atwater?

Elizabeth: Tough call. I mean Chicago is a city known to run with more than a little grease on the skids, but having to bail the kid out twice in a day or two would make me a little hesitant. I mean, he has no real indication that this favor will be returned. The balance is getting out of whack pretty quickly here.

Honey: Well I think possibly I might do that one time, but not twice with the same kid. I think that was a little weird. After the first time, I would think that he would go straight but that didn't happen, so maybe I would have thought he should do little bit of jail time, so he could learn his lesson.

Stacy: You know the saying "fool me once..." Doing the favor once I can understand, but I agree that after he blew his second chance I would be hesitant to do it again. Chances are these favors are going to escalate, better to pull the plug now.

Is Roman about to get himself involved in a dangerous situation?

Elizabeth: Yeah, I mean, even if the ex-husband isn't the type to come after him in a jealous rage, he should tread carefully. This woman is in a very fragile state, and the last thing Roman (really either of them) needs is for her to latch onto him as some kind of emotional displacement of her grief.

Honey: I would say he is definitely on the road to trouble. I think Andrew's mom is trying to develop a relationship with Roman to gain his protection from her ex-husband. He seems like a jerk and not very stable. I think it has a lot to do with the fact that he just wants to strike out, and I think for the most part, Roman is going to get into big trouble. I think he should use caution when it comes to this situation, but knowing Roman, he is going to go and be the hero.

Stacy: Getting involved with this woman right now does not seem like a good idea. I agree with Elizabeth, this is not what either of them needs right now.

What was your favorite quote or scene?

Elizabeth: Burgess' statement about having sociopathic tendencies as a child was funny on a few levels, and the her attempts at subterfuge had me alternately giggling and covering my face in embarrassment.

Honey: I like Mouse and all he has to input into the scenario of the stolen chips along with his twin.

Stacy: Burgess trying to covertly find out Platt's ring size was hilarious. I also liked the stakeout scene with Lindsay and Halstead.

Did anything disappoint you?

Elizabeth: I wouldn't say I was disappointed by anything specific, but I wasn't exactly thrilled by anything either.

Honey: Not really, like Elizabeth said, it wasn't a gripping episode.

Stacy: Burgess not texting Mouch the ring size instead of that uncomfortable attempt at telling him in front of Platt.
