* TheHeart: TerryFor all his DirtyCop excesses, Terry is still compassionate. Bob's reaction to a preteen runaway begging for change outside a diner is to criticize the spelling and presentation of his sign. Terry, on the other hand, gives the boy some cash and actually pays enough attention to recognize him as the son of the woman they arrested for stabbing her husband to death. Terry goes on to take the boy in and, as he finds out more about his situation, does what he can to get his mother's sentence reduced.


Added DiffLines:

* TheSnackIsMoreInteresting:
** Hearing sounds of violence and a woman screaming prompts Bob and Terry to run in with guns drawn...and cheeseburgers still in hand. Finding a man skewered with a kitchen knife doesn’t deter them from finishing their burgers.
** PlayedForLaughs as Terry administers a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Birdwell. He pauses between punches to ask if Bob wants to grab burritos for lunch. Bob says "Nah, it's date night. I can't do Mexican." Terry shrugs and resumes beating the ever-loving shit out Birdwell.

** PlayedForLaughs when Bob and Terry pay a visit to Mangan's horse ranch. When a jockey who works for Mangan won't answer their questions, [[JackBauerInterrogationTechnique Terry grabs him by the hair and holds his head underwater in a horse trough for a few seconds]] before repeating the question. The jockey's wig comes off, revealing a ''severely'' receded hairline. Both detectives recoil in horror as the jockey bursts into tears. Terry and Bob are both genuinely apologetic, and Terry wrings out the man's wig and puts it back on his head, with a sympathetic pat on the shoulder. Roughing him up was one thing, but they didn't mean to ''humiliate'' the guy like that!
