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?

In the Season 6 finale, public outrage erupts when a cop isn't indicted for shooting a teenager, and the fallout affects Frank, the mayor and Erin's office. Later, an officer gets shot in a possible case of retaliation, so Danny searches for the shooter.

As Frank contends with a whistleblower within the NYPD who claims to have evidence of abuse of power in the organization, Danny and Baez investigate the case of a woman who was struck by a car under suspicious circumstances.
