AIRED: 1/23/01

Andy is bonding with Theo (who mentions he wants to be a cop) at the park, when he hears on his radio that all the emergency vehicles rushing by are going to the scene of a cop shooting. The cop's partner is worried that he is going to be jammed up as his wounded partner's husband is a captain in the NYPD and he was pursuing another suspect at the time (and not backing his partner up). When the 15th Squad is ready to break into the apartment of a possible suspect, Danny gives Diane something else to do, thus keeping her out of harm's way. She later calls him on it, when he tries to do the same thing when they are set to take another suspect. When they return to the house, Danny stops off to break off his relationship with Mary. The Captain stops by to see how the investigation is proceeding into his (now dead) wife's shooting. Knowing they have a suspect in custody, he watches some of the interview and then breaks into to assault the suspect, jeopardizing the investigation. The suspect is picked out by the partner in a tainted lineup, which ultimately isn't needed, when finally confesses to the crime, citing that the cop shouldn't have been a woman. Sipowicz and a new female ADA come to a mutual understanding about getting good untainted evidence. Danny and Diane agree on their behavior on and off the clock. Andy tells Katie that both he and Theo need her, she wonders for how long.moreless
