* PassiveAggressiveKombat: The dispute between Pembleton and Bayliss. After Pembleton forgets to buy Bayliss a cheese sandwich (by implication not for the first time), Bayliss first ostentatiously buys pastries and donuts for every person in the squadroom except Pembleton, culminating by biting into a jam donut less than six inches from Frank's face.

!Justice Part 2
->Directed By: Creator/PeterMedak
->Story By: Creator/HenryBromell and Creator/TomFontana
->Teleplay By: Creator/DavidSimon

[[Recap/HomicideLifeOnTheStreetS4E13JusticePartOne Kenny Damon]] is found murdered, and as Jake Rodzinski (Creator/BruceCampbell) is possibly a suspect, Kellerman and Lewis end up working the crime separately.

!!This episode contains examples of:
* ArtisticLicenseLawEnforcement: Howard tells Kellerman and Lewis to set up a "Chinese curtain" between themselves - with Lewis investigating if Damon's death had anything to do with his criminal associates and Kellerman investigating if if Jake had anything to do with Damon's death, and the two don't talk to each other about the case - so that if Jake is responsible and accused, there's no chance of impropriety. The correct term for that type of investigation (which is otherwise TruthInTelevision) is a "Chinese wall".
* OnSecondThought: Lewis demands that Giardello change Howard's orders about the "Chinese curtain", at which point Giardello takes a look at the efficiency report he's about to file on Lewis, specifically about following orders, so Lewis changes his mind.
