** Despite the fact Commissioner Harris told Pembleton to do whatever it took to make Congressman Wade's case to go away - once they found out he faked a kidnapping story to cover up a lover's quarrel - once the press get ahold of the story, and Barnfather asks Harris if he ordered Pembleton to cover things up, Harris lies and says he made no such order.

Lewis and Munch investigate the death of a motorcyclist who was part of a gang called "The Deacons". Pembleton is asked by Commissioner Harris (Creator/AlFreemanJr) to investigate Congressman Jerry Wade (Dick Stilwell), who claimed he had been kidnapped but turns out to have been lying - however, the investigation blows up right in Pembleton's face. Felton and Howard have to investigate a homicide where there's no body.

!!This episode contains examples of:
* AllBikersAreHellsAngels: The "Deacons" are the standard portrait of the outlaw motorcycle gang, and that includes fighting, as Lewis learns the hard way.
* BasedOnATrueStory: The story of Congressman Wade making up a kidnapping story to cover up the fact he was having an affair with his aid was from Creator/DavidSimon's book (though again, it was the {{Expy}} of Stan Bolander who handled the case in real life), as was the BlackComedy story of a dead body brought to the hospital before homicide detectives had a chance to investigate it, and then was brought right back to the original crime scene.
