Trivia
Martha Hackett's TV debut.

Goofs
Deputy Chief Briscoe tells Frank that the perp was shot "with a howitzer". Howard used a 9mm Beretta (probably a model 92 variant). Such a round would very likely cause much less tissue damage than a .357 Magnum round from his usual Colt Python. (Just more anti-gun hyperbole from screen writers.)

Quotes
Rhonda: [being brought into the precinct wearing cuffs] Can you get me outta here? It's my mother's birthday.
Danny Santana: You got the wrong guy, Rhonda, I'm fired.
Rhonda: What do you mean, fired?
Danny Santana: I mean, the city council just did to me, what you get done to you all day.

Lay It All Down

Jablonsky needs bypass surgery and is fighting it. Hunter may lose his badge over a shooting that was justified but he was off duty. Belker is undercover, disguised as an old person. They are having their Social Security checks stolen. And the DA's are on strike and Joyce is caught in the middle. Basically, they are cutting staff with huge backlogs of cases.
