When Claudette takes control of both the Strike Team and the new Decoy Squad, their first assignment is a hooker sweep. What Vic thinks is a simple sweep, quickly becomes a nightmare when a prostitute, Farrah, is determined to bring down her pimp at any cost and wants Vic's help. When Claudette orders Vic to work with Farrah, he finds himself conflicted between Claudette's plan and Farrah's blackmail. Meanwhile Dutch discovers an elderly woman rape case with a sick twist is just the beginning of a disturbing pattern. David is forced to choose between his job as Captain and his future as Councilman when a man he knows and respects is arrested for solicitation during the sweep. Back on duty, Danny tries to get in good with Tommy and Julian by helping them on a stolen stereo bust and giving them the credit. After his run-in with Farrah, Vic decides to check up on Connie's son who is living in an overcrowded foster home. Meanwhile, tension rises between Shane and Mara when Shane feels the relationship is going too fast and Mara reveals she is pregnant.

Episode Quotes
 
Claudette: I talked to the hooker who got jumped. She's willing to build a case against her pimp.
Vic: I talked to her too, she's a liar!
Claudette: Then she should fit right in on your team!
 
Dutch: This is a guy who raped a woman, didn't leave a single hair fiber. No. Not only have I been chasing the wrong guy, I caught him.
 
Aceveda: He says it was entrapment.
Trish: Did you see his bag? Bondage is more like it.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
Look closely at Lem's motorcycle. It's not the same yellow one as we saw clear back in Season One. The camera is raised up so you can't tell it's not the same, but if you compare both, you can see the handlebars are different.
 
When we last see Brian, he was nothing but a baby. Now he's a toddler. According to the timeline it's only been about six months since he was put into adoption. He grew up fast.
 
If the door to the whore house is reinforced, why is the guy holding it shut?
 
Why is there such a problem trying to break into the downstairs bathroom? What happened to the battering ram?
 
 
Cultural References
 
Shane: Great Goddamn day. First Mara , then I gotta share a locker with Pigpen.

A quick reference to a character from The Charlie Brown & Snoopy Show.
