When Danny and Julien find a young, black graffiti artist lynched at a youth center, David limits the investigation to only Dutch and Claudette. It's not until a Latino priest is killed in connection with the same murder that David calls in both the Strike Team and the Decoy Squad, causing David's superiors to accuse him of racial prioritizing. Vic and his boys are happy to help with the case because it finally gets them back on the streets. Meanwhile, Vic discovers that Corrine's been assaulted by a junkie and when he comes to help, he finds himself face to face with Owen, Matthew's therapist, who has become Corrine's boyfriend and his son's new father figure. Shane also gets dealt a familial blow when the missing money train cash is linked to Mara and her mother. Back on the case, Vic and his team use their brand of "aggressive policing" to solve the murders, discovering the grim truth that rocks Claudette and the community. Danny and Julien wrap up their case when they discover the same perp who robbed and beat up a Hassidic man and his son is the same guy who assaulted Corrine at the hospital.

Episode Quotes
 
David: What is it?
Vic: My men are on the wrong scumbag.
David: How did you do that?
Vic: You and Wyms have had me buried with bullshit over the last couple of months. I'm out of touch
David: Oh what, so it's my fault?
Vic: Oh I'll bring in the right guy.
David: Good
Vic: But I'm never gonna let this happen again. I'm no good half in half out. Now you gotta make a choice. You either let me do what I do, or I'LL pull the plug on the Strike Team. Take my boys to another part of town.
 
(To Savuto)
Vic: Twizzy will be in county 'till his hearing. That'll give you a few weeks to get someone inside. Stop the pain. Anything after that, commit any sins, I'll be nailing you to a cross.
 
Tobar: Hey man, you hurt us, you hurt Kern.
Vic: Kern's licking caviar off a Czech whores' nipple. He won't be too hurt.
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
In the final sequence when the Team knocks over the table of China White, it goes up into the air like dust. Cut to the next shot, it isn't in the air anymore. In fact, you can't even see it on the floor.
