Danny and Baez are temporarily assigned new partners when an officer is outed and his current partner won't ride with him.
Synopsis
A detective at Danny's precinct comes out as gay, causing his partner to refuse to work with him. This forces Sgt. Gormley to temporarily split up Danny and Maria, assigning each to one of the squabbling partners. In a related matter, Henry and a nun from St. Dominic's, Frank's childhood school, convince Frank to use his friendship with the local archbishop to try and save the school from being closed due to budget cuts. When a recent assault is classified as a hate crime due to the victim being gay, a reporter's question backs Frank into a corner, causing Frank to admit that he thinks the Catholic church is "behind the times" in its stance on homosexuality. Elsewhere, a young detective who graduated the academy with Jamie vultures a collar from Jamie and Eddie. Jamie finds a way to get back at the detective, with help from Erin.
