Episode Summary

A bizarre case begins to unravel when a girl in Zach's class brings a severed hand in a jar into Show and Tell. Then another hand is discovered on the highway that runs from Rome to nearby Green Bay, which leads the Rome Sheriff's Department on a hunt to find a particularly vicious assailant, dubbed the "Green Bay Chopper," who severs the hands of each of his victims. Max, especially, becomes obsessed with cracking the case and refuses to bow to the FBI's authority when they arrive to take charge of the situation. The FBI order Jimmy to keep away from "their" case but things change, however, when Carter delivers interesting news about the latest victim. Unlike the previous victims, this man was dead, and that means the case remains under the jurisdiction of Jimmy and his officers, not the FBI. Max and Kenny follow up a hunch she has about the case and manage to track down a suspect; he turns out to be their man but he opens fire when they go to arrest him and is gunned down by Max. It's the first time she killed someone and she's shaken up by it.
