Synopsis

While Danny and Baez are escorting an undercover DEA transport containing millions in confiscated drugs, they are ambushed by armed gunmen who kill the driver and steal the van. The possibility of a DEA mole surfaces and Danny takes it especially hard since Baez was injured and he had volunteered them for the job. Things become even more tense when they discover that Maria's brother, Javi is involved.

Meanwhile, Jamie must decide whether to pursue Eddie romantically or keep her as a partner, especially when Sgt. Renzulli calls him out of being extra overprotective of her.

After a highly decorated Lieutenant's actions cause the death of a mentally unbalanced man in Times Square, Frank must try to balance his public response especially in the face of strong opinions.

Notes & Trivia

• Amy Carlson and Sami Gayle are now credited as "Starring" while Vanessa Ray is now credited as "Also Starring" beginning with this episode.
• McCarthy's order to tase the suspect is absolutely a case of excessive use of force, since the man had already spit at the officers and this is an assault for which the officers are recommended to arrest him, but they are also supposed to restrain him on the ground without using any weapon, as the man was unarmed.
• The DVD contains deleted scenes for this episode.
