The newest Speaker of NY City Council, (Whoopi Goldberg), a chronic malcontent, wants to dismantle the NYPD's "Broken Windows Policy," a position Frank vehemently opposes. Erin worries when the wife of her good friend and mentor, Judge Wilson, dies as a result of DUI, and, his sentencing suddenly runs off the rails. Linda's co-worker at the hospital has a problem with her ex-husband. Linda asks Baez and Danny to talk to the parties involved and it turns into a big ordeal. Judge Wilson takes on attorneys who dare to argue with the bench (i.e. our jobs); it may be time for a Judicial Ethics Commission Complaint. Does Erin have the balls to file one?

Erin's trial against a human trafficker is jeopardized when the presiding judge is found dead.

Frank battles City Council speaker Regina Thomas over protests against police brutality; Jamie and his nephew, Joe Hill, try to locate a missing Danny and Baez; Eddie helps an abrasive woman find her father's body.
