The squad returns to the station. The FBI joins with the detectives to stop a "thrill killer" who's working his way north on I-95. Gee tries to reconcile with his daughter. The killer smells a rat at a roadblock so he bails out of his pickup. Everyone mobilizes to find him and when they do, the suspect in custody, while identical to the killer, claims he is innocent.

Another viewer noted that when Gee's daughter talked about her brother, she referred to him as Al Jr. Of course in the seventh season, we are introduced to Mike Giardello as Gee's son. As a way to explain this, perhaps Mike is an Alphonse Michael Giardello Jr., (with Gee being a senior); to distance himself from his father, Mike didn't want to be known as a junior, so he went with his middle name.
(edit)
A viewer from Baltimore notes that Rhonda Overby is an actual reporter for the Baltimore NBC affiliate WBAL Channel 11.
(edit)
A very intense episode, that should be nominated for an Emmy. For whatever reason, it was also shown out of production order, as the production code denotes. It should have really been shown as the 40th episode. This episode and the next three should be viewed in this order: #39 (404), #40 (405), #38 (406) & #37 (407). The temporary squad room reappears in episode #39.

Music in this episode: Garbage "A Stroke of Luck" alb: Garbage; Dada "Feel Me Don't You" alb: American Highway Flower.
