"The Kid" finds Capt. Miller with a cast on his foot, an accident that Wojo is very curious about (Yemana: "maybe he tried to bite his toenails!"). Fish foils a 14 year old pickpocket with a mother (Angelina Estrada) whose husband has since departed ("I think I saw him over on 14th St. one day, but I am not sure!"). The woman is clearly attracted to Fish, who experiences a crisis of feelings long suppressed, especially after confessing to Barney how much he enjoyed drinking wine in her apartment- Fish: "after all this time to have desires!" Barney: "listen, Nature's strange!" Fish: "I know, I've spent my whole life proving it!" Nick advises Fish to use for an aphrodisiac ground up reindeer antlers: "why do you suppose Santa Claus always walks around with that smile on his face?" A deaf man (Arny Freeman, 6 episodes) is arrested for trying to steal a hearing aid, calmly pointing his toy pistol while the deafening alarm bell sounds. Barney believes Nick can help with the batteries, 'made in Japan' (Yemana: "yeah but I wasn't!"). Charles Murphy returns as Eugene Woolen, last seen in "Fear of Flying," who has patiently waited 30 days to see if his $3500 has been claimed (guess who has enough to buy a hearing aid?). Barney finally confesses how he broke his foot falling in the toilet, which Wojo insists is not possible ("it's possible, changing a light bulb and you think the lid is down!"). Harris is absent in this episode.
