* In "Homicide (DR-22)", Friday and Gannon are investigating the murder of a young woman and have to deal with an elderly apartment manager who keeps telling them what they should look for and look at. Initially, they think he's just an AmateurSleuth with too much time on his hands. But they run his prints just to be sure. Turned out the nosy guy was a [[RetiredBadass retired Chicago Police Detective]], who had done 44 years on the job and made it all the way to Deputy Chief. Friday and Gannon treat him with a ''lot'' more respect, and when his hunches turn out to be right even offer to take him down to make the arrest.

* Pep goes DrillSergeantNasty [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness on an unkempt uniformed cop]] who fails to properly address him as "[[TheyCallMeMrTibbs Detective]]" while stressing over Friday and The Virgin Connie Swail going missing. Seeing Pep suddenly light up the guy and put the fear of the Almighty into him had a great degree of CatharsisFactor.
