Furillo (a terrific Daniel J. Travanti) recovers from his wounds at home. Fabian's mom hits Bates (an excellent Betty Thomas) for more money only to have Coffey (a likeable Ed Marinaro) intervene. Buntz (the always fantastic Dennis Franz) appears appears on a court TV show. Larue (nicely played by Kiel Martin) and Washington (smooth Taurean Blacque) find themselves in big trouble after they inadvertently mess up a federal gun-running investigation.
It's a hoot to see Buntz act like his usual loud and boorish self on live television much to the chagrin of a hapless TV director. Moreover, it's also funny watching Belker (a spot-on Bruce Weitz) being forced to put up with a pesky and feisty old lady (a delightful portrayal by Frances Bay) who threatens to undermine his undercover gig at a pawn shop that's fencing stolen goods. Further amusement is derived from LaRue and Washington seeking help out of their tough situation from Sid the Snitch (a sublimely slimy Peter Jurasik). However, this episode concludes on a startling note with Coffey being shot dead when he stumbles into a hold-up at a smokehouse.
