Happenings

• A 16 year old girl is the victim of a hit-and-run. The car is identified as the mayor's who reported it stolen from his home. The car is later found, the damage supports that it was responsible.

• Brian cleaned out the garage before Mick and Kosmo were able to obtain a warrant to search it.

• Leo and Rose called to a suicide of Michael Zang in the office of Richard Norton. Zang made a deal with the Crown for a reduced sentence if he explained his money laundering and name participants. He claims he sent his secretary out getting coffee, that Zang asked for a cappuccino. He also explains he washed his hands as a natural reaction, which Leo thinks was done to nullify a gun residue test. They interview the wife who claims to not know he had a gun. They can't find his car and she asks about several thousands of dollars he had with him. She also says she never saw him drink coffee.

• Bill Jacobs is selected as Police Chief.

Characters

• Kosmo tells Mick that Suki is no longer in a relationship with the constable and asked her if he's seeing someone. She later tells Mick about an apartment that's opened up at her building.

• Carter asks Mick to be his assistant soccer coach. He agrees by showing up.

Trivia

The Show

• Jan Ferris would go on to play constable Jan Ferris in Da Vinci's City Hall. Since her character is only identified as a uniform, it's possible to regard it as the same character.
