Rub a Tub TubEpisode Number: 3 Season Num: 1 First Aired: Tuesday March 22, 2005 Prod Code: n/a |
The 8th precinct is distraught when one of their detectives from the anti-crime unit is found murdered. Carl Desmond was shot in the head and his body was thrown in a dumpster. His colleagues and grieving widow, Mary Beth suspects that his murder was an act of revenge by someone he had previously put away. Karen is put in charge of the case, as she and the rest of the detectives must tread carefully in the investigation into the murder of one of their own.
When Mary Beth's past infidelities come to light, Tom and Marty investigate a married man named Don Bellamy whom she was having an affair with. While going in a different direction, Karen and Jim put their reputation on line with other cops at their squad when their main suspect is Carl's partner, Eric who had put in a request for a transfer a week before the murder. In the midst of the investigation, a frustrated Jim confronts Marty who is purposely making things difficult for him by rearranging the squad so that he would walk and bang into the office furniture.

Jim: Well, we're definitely gonna need another interview, so who's the union delegate?
Tom: I am.
Jim: Is he messing with me?
Karen: No.
Jim: All right, see you in a bit. (edit) Mary Beth: Carl pushed me and pushed me until I was looking at nothing, and when you having nothing, I suppose you're capable of anything. (edit) Dr. Galloway: Look, for now, what do you say you not talk anymore about how confident you feel at work? That's no longer a topic for discussion. Pick somethin' else, anything else, okay?
Jim: I like chocolate chip cookies! (edit) Marty: Congratulations, Dunbar, a circus.
Jim: You know, some people have very distinctive smells based on the products they use, Marty. Like you and that dandruff shampoo. (edit)

When Jim is defending his reasoning for detecting the scent of cologne to the other detectives, he says that he was in Mary Beth's living room last night. This whole episode took place in one day. Eric was in her apartment the previous night, not Jim.
(edit)
The dead detective was "moonlighting" at a local bar -- information shared with everyone, including the squad captain. Now, this seems to be a "cross-over" goof -- This is NYC, and the same producers as "NYPD Blue". Wasn't there a big to-do over a NYPD detective working at a bar this season? This is confusing -- can the detectives now work at bars?
