While all eyes are on Andy, Sam and Nick's love triangle, Chris has his own demons he's fighting as he struggles with drug abuse and it looks like it's going to catch up with him.

Criminal Tells Chris 'The Darkness Will Descend' If He Doesn't Pay Up

A trailer for the upcoming episode of Rookie Blue set to air Thursday reveals that Chris has been buying drugs from perps that he arrests. As Chris handcuffs one of his loyal clients, the criminal makes no hesitation to inform Chris that he is going to testify against him.

"I'm gonna stay stealth until I see the sun come up. Then I'm gonna go make a deal with a prosecutor and the first name I'm gonna give up is yours."

Steve Crosses 'Moral' Line With Traci's Ex-Husband

A synopsis released by ABC of the episode, called Going Under, reads:

"After tracking a handgun found at a frat house brawl, 15 Division decides to go undercover at the club-land bar that's supplying the illegal handguns. During the undercover operation, Dov can't help but notice Chris's jumpy, nervous behavior - and when Chris goes to extreme lengths to ensure a specific drug dealer walks away without charge, Dov is left wondering just what exactly is going on with his friend...."

Still, fans don't seem to appreciate Chris's intense storyline. They took to the show's official Facebook page to express their concern.

A fan wrote, "really.. why would y'all give Chris such a horrible storyline......drugs? DRUGS? that's just a lame attempt at changing up his character...hopefully this goes somewhere...I still love the show!!!"

Another added, "Sad that they are bringing his character down this path though."

But it wasn't all negative reactions to Chris's new lifestyle.

A pleased viewer wrote, "Chris was put through the wringer last season with finding out he had a son and then it wasn't his. He's not dealing with things well, and this storyline plays very well into that. I, for one, can't wait to see where this takes him."

Another enjoyed Dov's position to step in and help is former roommate.

"Dov knows Chris better than anyone..he's been suspicious for some time..he will figure out its drugs if he hasnt already. throw Chris in rehab Dov."

Rookie Blue airs Thursdays at 10/9c on ABC.
