Nolan passes his disciplinary exam but is once again reminded that he unlikely ever to get promoted. He is held hostage by an armed man with dead man's switch threatening to blow up the police station unless a dangerous felon is released, but Grey and Harper presume and start looking for another motive, only to bump into danger inside the bomb shelter. West reaches a point of no return when Stanton threatens to report a firing offense against West, who bluffs back that his father, the head of Internal Affairs, would rip apart Stanton's career. Without prospect for promotion, Nolan aspires becoming a training officer, which requires completing his degree. Stanton sets up West to take a massive beating from the very ghetto scum he protected in a public housing complex, but West activates Stanton's body camera, showing his TO passively observed the beating, resulting in suspension.
