Several focuses. The first involves a man who rents a room once a month to have sex with young men. His body is found stabbed 47 times and he is dismembered. There is a side plot where the guy's Rolex and ring have been stolen while the fire department investigated a small fire. We have the story of an arrogant young English teacher who is trying to "improve" a boy of Puerto Rican extraction (he's fifteen). Of course, having sex with him is just to elevate his status. Finally, we see Andy struggling with letting go of Theo. He is terrified something may happen to him, even in the least dangerous of settings.

Warning: Spoilers
One more time, I say that I don't have subtitles for those (long awaited) seasons and it has clear impact on my negative feeling. However, it's also evident that for now 3 seasons I have seen nearly 66 times the same episode as the production is minimal (a few street scene but a lot of precinct stuff!).
This year, we can learn more about Danny and we have also a new detective. Unfortunately, they are badly scripted. Danny is a poor boyfriend as he keeps whining and dismiss truly sweet girlfriends for his obsession to Diane! Baldwin could have been cool but the way he lives his identity is particularly stupid (he doesn't like white people watching black people having sex in episode 11).
Then, this season manages to do nothing with great recurrent female characters: Mary Franco and Nicole « Nomi » Graff !
At last, the show is more interesting with the squad dealing with office life and personal problems than doing their job! They were accurate when they have private conversation, when they deal with a annoyed teammate (usually Andy) and when they try to skip boss surveillance. For everyone (like me) who works in an open office, you will have fun. This show also illustrates my opinion about the one and only thing that could cripple work life: having personal problems!
In conclusion, it was a long tedious, boring season.
My pick for this year would be this Episode 3 as it's very symbolic of this so-so season: a great guest star (here, a past « Fletch » friend) but a disturbing, disorganized plot : arresting a teacher in her school isn't really proportional to the incrimination and the facts on the case!
