Sgt. Cates takes his anger and frustration home where he batters his son, Greg. When Kelly realizes that Cates beats his son, she confronts the Sgt. and presses for child abuse charges. Joe Willow's underworld friends, Stone and Burke, observe the welfare court case awarding Kelly temporary custody of Greg while Cates works on the murder case. The thugs kidnap Kelly and Greg and attempt to persuade Cates to drop the search for Willow.

In the ensuing shootout, Kelly and Greg escape and the Angels apprehend the thugs and Willow. Cates admits his problem and is reunited with his son.
