Episode Summary

EDIT

AIRED: 10/16/98

Bobby is transferred to the N.Y.P.D. after working homicide, but the lieutenant doesn't want him around and dumps him off in missing persons out of spite. For his first case, he and his new partner, Detective Damiana, investigate the recent discovery of a pile of dismembered body parts. A friend of Kevin's asks him how to tell his wife and his daughter that he's seeing another man. Clarissa advises Liam that he needs to sever ties with his crooked boss, Jerry McCaffrey, now that Bobby is covering the area. Fiona is crushed to find out her boss, Josh (whom she's been dating) was married and didn't tell her. Bobby's connection comes up with the name of a suspect for him -- Billy Bingham. Bobby confirms that Jerry is a criminal, and presses Liam to stop working for the guy. Kevin suspends Amanda from teaching after she is repeatedly late to class. A mysterious man tells Kevin in the confessional that he is sorry he has to kill someone. Kevin gets in trouble himself with his parishioner when the gay man's wife complains about Kevin's suggestions to her husband. Simon believes Mikey died of an overdose, and doesn't want Bobby to try to clear his name. Liam and Bobby get into a brawl while trying to pick up Amanda, who's gotten messed up. The lieutenant yanks Bobby and Damiana off the Bingham case, now that it's turned into a homicide investigation. Billy Bingham almost kills Bobby, until his partner comes to his aid. Amanda comes to Kevin for help, as she's pregnant and doesn't know who the father is.moreless

- The series was originally slated to debut at 8:00 ET/PT. Because of the subject matter in the first few episodes, NBC flipped it and Dateline over the summer.
  EDIT SHARE
- Anne Meara and Philip Bosco were the original Eileen and Simon. They were fired by NBC, who considered them geriatric. (Yeah, parents of 30-year-olds generally are.) Ironically, Meara was being replaced by Jill Clayburgh on a new fall series at the same exact time her husband, Jerry Stiller, was being brought in as the replacement for Jack Carter on another new fall series (The King of Queens).
