Storyline

Reed's sprained wrist puts him on office duty while Malloy has a new partner on his first day on the job. Malloy trains the rookie in the basics of the job to make him more effective. Reed is handling miscellaneous questions on the phone and people coming in in person. He receives a call about a bomb threat at the station forcing a search of the entire facility. Officer Brinkman adds excitement by accidentally discharging a shotgun outside - twice. A young man wants to report possible misconduct by an officer while an elderly man brings in a shotgun to leave causing excitement until the officers determine what he is doing. Malloy brings in children abandoned by their mother and must tell the oldest son what has happened. Malloy and his new partner go into pursuit of a car they spot. They lose the car when it turns into the police parking lot and the occupants are arrested.
