Plot Overview

A storm of criticism follows the murder in the red light zone, drawing national and even international attention, as well as calls for it to be shut down, even if just temporary.

The Complaints Commission runs into wall, as Jacobs has ordered officers not to talk to the inspectors. Things only get worse when the fire department feels they are bearing the brunt of the investigation.

Meanwhile, the Zack and Friedland confront each other about their respective deceptions, and police interview the two men the teenage girl implicates in the gay-bashing.
