Mykelti Williamson returns as Denny Woods. He is now the "independent auditor" for the entire department, yet he initially still wears the CPD uniform and rank of a Lieutenant. In Grasping for Salvation (2017), he was dismissed for misconduct that resulted in the wrongful conviction of a murder suspect. This is a suspension of disbelief akin to that of Voight being arrested and convicted then rehired and promoted, except that there was no motive shown for Woods as there had been for Voight.
