ROOKIE BLUES5, E4

Wanting

Andy has tried everything she can think of to get through to her rookie, Duncan, but refuses to give up on him. When a man found shot in stairwell at a dodgy apartment building leads to the discovery of an executed gang leader upstairs, it’s all hands on deck at 15 Division to stop a potential gang war from breaking out. Andy and Duncan find themselves alone with the one witness who can tie the killers to the crime; and in a life-and-death moment with a 12-year old witness, Andy may regret giving her rookie so many chances. Meanwhile, Gail follows up on another victim of the tenement shootings – a woman that took a stray bullet in the laundry room – only to make a harrowing discovery that will shake Gail to her core.

Fragments

Andy and Sam are in such a good place, that Andy can’t help but feel she’s waiting for the other shoe to drop. So when Andy learns her former rookie, Duncan, is back on active duty and hoping to reconcile, she decides this is what her anxiety was anticipating. But it’s all hands on deck when a car bomb explodes in a downtown parking garage – quickly followed by a second explosion at a busy intersection. Duncan, eager to prove himself as a worthy officer, goes rogue only to come face-to-face with the bomber. It’s up to Andy and Nick to get the situation under control and save Duncan before they run out of time.

Home Run

It’s community-outreach day, with 15 Division hosting a friendly baseball game with kids in a neighborhood plagued by gang violence. But when the game is interrupting by gunfire from a drive-by, and two players are hit, it appears obvious it’s gang-related – all the officers have to do is convince someone in this terrified neighborhood to ID the shooter. This case could be a huge win for Steve Peck, but Gail can’t help but feel they’re missing something and must follow her instincts to find the truth. Meanwhile, Swarek plans a “perfect getaway” with Andy up to Oliver’s cabin – a trip which turns into a test of their ability to rise above all kinds of set-backs, including the unspoken one of bringing Sam’s-baby-by-way-of-Marlo into the world – but it might just turn out to be the perfect trip after all.
