1It's LoveAtFirstSight for Ray when he is run over by a beautiful woman after a routine traffic stop goes bad. Things get more complicated when it is discovered that she may be an accomplice in a gun running operation. While Fraser and the Chicago detectives follow the trail, Ray must reconcile his duties as a cop with his feelings for this dangerous woman. [[HiddenDepths It is also revealed]] that Fraser has had a similar problem before, and [[{{Foreshadowing}} he tries to warn Ray of how dangerous this situation can be.]]

3!Tropes:
4* BookEnds: Ray and the woman helping each other after car accidents in the beginning and climax of the episode.
5* CharacterDevelopment: Huey, Louis, and Fraser all get some fleshing out in this episode, as they talk to Ray to help him figure out his feelings for the suspect they are pursuing.
6* DatingCatwoman: Ray has fallen in love with a beautiful gun runner, and it seems she reciprocates his feelings. How this will affect their roles in the game of Cop and Crook is unclear...
7* {{Foreshadowing}}: Fraser tells Ray a story about a similar situation he was in, explaining how it was doomed to end badly. [[LawOfConservationOfDetail This will become very important at the end of the season.]] Even the title of the episode is a nod to this trope.
8* FriendshipMoment: Huey and Louis, Ray's rivals at the precinct, stay several hours after their shift is over to pass the time playing cards with him and Fraser.
9* HiddenDepths: Fraser doesn't seem like the sort to get into a romantic relationship with a fugitive.
10* JurisdictionFriction: The Chicago detectives end up running afoul of a federal investigation of their suspect. See UndercoverCopReveal.
11* LetMeTellYouAStory: Fraser relates a story of his own experience with DatingCatwoman, complete with {{Deconstruction}}. Ray has dozed off during the story and likely didn't get anything from it.
12* SociopathicSoldier: The other gun runner is a former [[HomeGuard National Guardsman]], though it is noted that his tendencies (and the criminal record that came with them) are the reason why he's no longer serving in uniform.
13* UndercoverCopReveal: The woman turns out to be an undercover Federal agent.
