->Directed By: Creator/TimHunter
->Story By: Bonnie Mark, James Yoshimura
->Teleplay By: Julie Martin, Jorge Zamacona

While out to arrest a murder suspect, Bolander, Felton and Howard are all shot, and all of them require extensive surgery. Pembleton, along with Bolander's old partner Mitch Drummond (Creator/TonyLoBianco) and Theresa Walker (Creator/GloriaReuben), a sex crimes detective, try to find the shooter.

!This episode contains examples of:
* AsYouKnow: The opening scene has Bolander, Felton, Howard and Munch discussing Glenn Holton, the man they're about to arrest, giving details to each other that they should have already known.
* FailedASpotCheck: The secretary who typed up the wrong address for the warrant for Glenn Holton - she transposed the numbers so that it was "201" when she meant to type "210". When she realizes what she did, [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone she's aghast]].
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Room 201 will become important in a later episode.
* FriendToAllChildren: [[ContinuityNod Once again]], Giardello - when Beth comes with her kids to see Felton at the hospital and asks Giardello to look after them, the kids both say they don't need anyone looking after them, at which point Giardello smiles, bends down, and says, "Maybe you can look after me", which they both agree to. The next time we see them, he's reading them a story.
* HeroicBSOD: Munch has one at the hospital when he describes the shooting to Giardello, even crying about the fact he wasn't able to shoot back.
** Giardello has one with Lewis after talking with Howard's father about what happened. He mentions having to go to the hospital with his daughter, how she asked him, "Daddy, make it stop hurting," and there was nothing he could do.
* ItsPersonal: This is how Drummond convinces Giardello to let him be part of the investigation.
* MultiPartEpisode: The first of three parts.
* PetTheDog: When Barnfather comes down to the Homicide Unit after the shooting, Russert assumes he's there to blame Giardello, but he assures Russert he's there to help out any way he can.
