Plot Overview
While Dennis is preoccupied with preparing for the Lieutenant's exam, Chapman drops a 'hot potato' case in his lap...the murder of the Deputy Chief's wife. Jim decides to do some digging around to help his friend and uncovers some very unsavory facts about the dead woman, who worked in the parole office...she was having affairs with parolees, and quite possibly with younger cops as well.
