LAPD Detective Wes Kennedy is a recent widower who tries to deal with both his night shift job and having to raise his two teenage children on his own.
The Priesters from episode 1 are back when Wes finds Rickey on the streets. Robin has a new boyfriend and is wanting to explore birth control. And Wes has his SUV stolen when he leaves the door unlocked -- leading to great embarrassment.
Kennedy is struggling to contain 2 platinum blondes: one his daughter who has been stepping out with her new boyfriend, the other a Country singer who can't seem to lay low even though her psychotic ex has threatened her life.
With his birthday fast approaching, Kennedy is being hated on at work by Arno and at home by Robin. Arno disapproves of his "cowboy" ways, while Robin disapproves of his new woman.
A colleague takes out a gunman despite Kennedy's warning that the gunman had a hostage, and the hostage ends up dead. Kennedy must decide whether to file a report or relent to all the pressure to remain silent.
Kennedy kills a gang leader in a shootout. The gangster's lover takes over the gang and swears vengeance upon Kennedy -- all while the in-laws are in town for a visit.
