When Trish makes an undercover phone call to the Barn, Claudette discovers that she and Walon are in serious danger. As Claudette enlists the Strike Team's help and Walon is recovered, he reveals that there is a mole in the system that led to him and Trish getting made. Walon claims Claudette is responsible because she failed to read about the mole on a report he filed. With Trish still out there and Claudette at fault, Vic uses the opportunity to create a wedge between Claudette and the Decoy Squad. Meanwhile Dutch works with Danny to make some headway in the "Cuddler" rape case, but the case takes a turn for the worse when an elderly woman turns up murdered. Vic and his team finally uncover Trish and bring her to safety, but not before she takes drastic measures to keep herself alive on the job. When Tommy realizes David's not going to help him get his job back, he makes a grave decision no one expected. Ronnie reveals that there is $7k missing from the Money Train stash, causing each member of the Strike Team to question one another.

Episode Notes |
| |
Deleted scenes for this episode ont he Season 3 DVD include performance anxiety talk between Danny and Dutch (which includes talk that Danny was taking the Detective exam), and Nina talking to Dutch about the "female trinity."
| In the Season 3 DVD commentary, the coroner who examines the dead elderly woman and her daughter is Benito Martinez's sister. She is uncredited in this episode.
| Though it's not spoken, the towtruck at the end of the episode is pulling out Tommy's car (the one he drove in). He shot himself inside a cop car.
| The giant steakout was filmed as one large-scale filming shoot int he middle of afternoon traffic. The area was not blocked off, the traffic and people you see are all real except for the actual actors you see on camera.
| Paula Jai Parker and Jernard Burks did a bunch of improved interaction in character for the cameras while the cast was memorizing lines. Director Guy Ferland wanted to use a lot of the material, but instead decided not to since it didn't add to the story.
| The original title for this episode was "Blown" to represent Waylon's blown cover. The current title was chosen by Shawn Ryan, who admitted it was the worst choice, but forced it onto the show.

Ronnie: Not a scratch.
