Nolan's relationship with Russo starts to hit some skids as she suggests they move in together. Meanwhile, Nolan starts building a friendly relationship with Grace, his old flame. Meanwhile, Sergeant Grey assigns the rookies to surveil trouble spots around Los Angeles where criminals and illegal activity is known to flourish.
West teams up with Officer Smitty for a day when the latter takes them to a fast food restaraunt full of parole violators. The situation rapidly turns tragic when one makes a run for it, ditches his gun, and said gun falls into the hands of a child who shoots his mother. The gun was also used in a recent murder but the evidence tying it to the parole violator is thin at best.
