    Death Deals a Hand
    Perhaps the pivotal event of this episode is the death of Frank's father due to suspicious circumstances. Religious and financial implications come into play, not to mention Frank's strained relationship with his father. It asks him to put aside some of his ethical beliefs. A second issue has to do with the resurfacing of the parking lot and an annoyed Korean restaurant owner who is losing business because of it. J. D. Has his car towed and vows revenge on the guy. It's his usual insensitivity that comes to the fore. Belker goes into a tenement where an infant has been left alone. He puts the baby in his car and then foolishly chases a bad guy. Of course, his car is stole along with the baby and more weird stuff happens. The last minute is quite interesting as well.
