Go To

Sipowicz and Russell work to solve the rape and beating of a 9-year-old girl. Simone and Kirkendall investigate the murder of a Korean grocer. Medavoy and Martinez discuss the pregnancies of Gina and Abby.


  • Drugs Are Bad: Felicia uses drugs despite being a mother and pregnant.
  • Heroic B So D: At the end of the Lee case, Simone is visibly saddened because he more or less helped a mother sell out her own sons, especially when the younger, more scared son, tries to reach out to her.
  • Insistent Terminology: When Andy tells Diane about not getting an eye appointment, Diane asks if he backed out, Andy says he's "rethinking his options."
  • Jerkass: Simon Lee is a hot-headed, arrogant and racist pain in the ass who has no respect for boundaries and is quick to jump to conclusions.
    • Gloria Nelson is quick to accuse Sipowicz and Russell of browbeating Annie, when it's actually her doing the browbeating. She also wrongly insists that Billy Podesky assaulted Annie.
    • Felicia Cheevers is hot-headed, loud, and dismissive of her own sons.
  • Nice Guy: What George Lee was described as being in life.
    • Billy Podesky is also an angel.
  • Parental Betrayal: Felicia Cheevers sells out her sons to the NYPD for Simon Lee's $5,000.
  • Rape as Drama: The Annie Waters case.
  • Would Hit a Girl: Gerard Cheevers beats up Felicia, no doubt spurring her to help the NYPD capture them.
  • Would Hurt a Child: Glenn Farley beat up and raped 9-year-old Annie.
