Storyline

Overconfident after near-unanimous praise on his first beat day, Ben jumps in at a shop-mugging only to find he failed to arrange backup or make sure who the victim and robber are. Officer Dewey Dudek celebrates his retirement form active duty, aiming at a Hollywood career. Another retired cop is asked to mind an active colleague's neglected dog. Detective Nate Moretta's potential police recruits program is the only way for detective Sammy Bryant to provide some protection for a rare wiling witness in a fiendish neighborhood. An alleged father suffers third strike after the mother dumps 'their' baby on him.

Goofs

As Cooper drives away from the convenience store robbery, the type of street they are on changes in just a few seconds although he never turns; at first it is a one-lane residential street, then it is a wider street with businesses, and finally it is a three-lane thoroughfare with tall buildings.

Tammi Bryant: Wh- wh- why do I have to go to this thing? Nobody liked him, right? I never even met the guy.
Det. Sammy Bryant: It's a chance for you to meet some of my friends.
Tammi Bryant: Oh, you - you mean "the wives"?
Det. Sammy Bryant: Yeah, what's wrong with that? Huh?
Tammi Bryant: But I, I have nothing in common with these women - *nothing*.
Det. Sammy Bryant: You don't know that.
Tammi Bryant: They probably all belong to a nice little book club, read Anne Rice novels.
Det. Sammy Bryant: You're being ridiculous, Tammi.
