Meanwhile, Sipowicz clashes with Simone throughout their investigation of the senseless murder of two kids, which is only the start of a really bad day which also includes Sipowicz dealing with Sylvia's morning sickness, and Simone dealing with Russell who falls off the wagon.

Ray Kahlins, the "blow hard" from the DEA who worked out of the squad room the previous year, to nab the drug dealers. Medavoy finally asks out Abby Sullivan, the beat cop from the anti-crime unit upstairs. But she turns him down by revealing that she is a lesbian. Elsewhere, Russell gets more deeper involved in her undercover work which puts a strain on her relationship with Simone. But the psycho Jimmy's malevolence puts Russell's life in danger when he puts a drug in her drink.

Two trans women, named Angela and Peaches who assisted Russell on a previous case, arrive at the precinct where 'Angela' is seeking protection from a man who's beaten him. But afterwords, Angela is founded murdered and Sipowicz, Simone and Russell investigate. They eventually receive help from Simone's former junkie informant, Arthur Cartwell, to find the perp. Meanwhile, Kirkendell investigates the theft of some small items by a old friend's parents. Kirkendell confronts her old school friend, Lucy Hastings, to persuade her to return the items as well as enroll in a substance abuse program.
