- Connie and Rita find young children home alone, living in squalor. Tony's ex-wife is found dead. A carjacker is killed, and cocaine is found in the car.
- The detectives investigate the shooting death of a carjacker that leads them to multiple tragic situations. One of them involves Rita and Connie following up on the carjacker's address and finding a filthy apartment with three terribly neglected little kids inside. The other has Andy and Clark finding that the targeted car had a bag in the trunk with a large amount of cocaine inside. Greg and Baldwin follow on the carjacker's girlfriend's record of drug addiction and find out, to their increasing anger, that her case is being "handled" by a lying, stupid garbage person of a social worker--and it gets worse when the social worker accidentally reveals that the mom in the case has a baby who wasn't at the apartment. Andy and Clar accuse the car's driver, Denise, of moving narcotics and having her ex-convict brother with her as security for the drug dealing. However, they piece together that Denise and her brother did nothing wrong and that Denise is in fact being used as an unwitting drug mule by her married recording artist lover. Rita and Connie confront the drug-addled mom Joyce and find out Joyce's claim of giving her baby to her sister to watch is BS, and later confirm that Joyce brought the kid up to the roof to "get some peace". ADA Haywood confirms that if they can't get the drug-using singer to confess he set up Denise with the cocaine, she'll go to jail and he'll get away with everything. And Rita and Connie are horrified to find the dead baby on the roof of Joyce's building. While this is going on, Lt. Tony is devastated by the death of his ex-wife Angela, which he keeps to himself while demanding investigations and threatening her other ex-husband over the homicide he's lying to himself that this could have been. He finally opens up to Andy, stating that he does think she died of an overdose and will take some time off to deal with the loss. Rita and Connie wearily tell Joyce to just tell them the truth, and she discloses that the social worker hasn't helped her in a year and that she accidentally killed her baby by giving her a bath with unwittingly scalding water. The cops can't really do anything to punish the social worker beyond pledging to get him fired, and the same end game hits Andy and Clark in their case: the evil singer Delray denies all, and Denise screams and cries as she's hauled off to face a prison term for his drug activities. Tony visits Angela's parents and tells them the devastating news of their child's death. Rita and Clark have a hotel tryst that the day overwhelms. Andy and Connie agree they're lucky to have each other and their kids.
