Recap

Detailed recap of the episode which contains MAJOR SPOILERS.
Danny and Baez investigate the death of a rising MMA fighter and discover he was killed for refusing to go along with fixing fights. Also, Eddie and Jamie find Badillo outside of a police charity event smoking weed to "take the edge off". Someone in the department files an anonymous complaint, putting Badillo's career in jeopardy, and this happens to coincide with his annual fishing trip with the son of his late patrol partner, unbeknownst to Eddie and Jamie and causing alarm for them. Upon finding this out, Jamie states that he filed a false report (even though he didn't actually do so), giving him a citation but saving Badillo's job. Meanwhile, Gormley's old partner Russo is attacked by thugs at a subway station, and Mayor Chase announces plans to ask the governor to send in the National Guard for the subway system, going behind Frank's back to do so and angering Frank since this gives the perception that the mayor thinks the NYPD can't do their jobs effectively. Elsewhere, Erin presides over a mock trial and is shocked when the winner of the competition is arrested for drug possession. Although he had ran with a gang in his youth, he turned his life around, and it is discovered that the second-place participant planted the drugs on him due to jealousy.
