Plot Overview

The investigation into an explosion at a garment factory leads Tony to a prominent fashion designer who was a prisoner in Nazi Germany. This is followed by a barrage of white supremacy pamphlets being distributed around Eastbridge, as well as vandalism and a couple of other bombings, and a stolen shipment of blouses somehow figures into the case. When Tony runs a check on the designer, he discovers that the man is supposed to be dead, killed in the Treblinka death camp in 1942, and managing to get his fingerprints, further discovers that the designer is really a Nazi death camp guard. He and Paulie have to race to prevent a fourth bomb from detonating, which just happens to be at the Temple where Rachel and David attend. At the Scali house, David brings home an adorable stray puppy and asks if they can keep it while they find the real owner, but the cute dog also proves to be somewhat destructive.
