Plot Overview

Terry and Willie wind up in hot water with Ryker after ignoring a call from an elderly lady who has made false distress calls in the past to get company, but this time couldn't get help when she was brutally attacked by burglars in her own home. Worried both about losing their jobs and the old lady possibly being put in a nursing home against her will, the two officers, who were ordered by Ryker to take time off, attempt to figure out how the burglars are operating. They also get Jill to conspire to keep the lady in the hospital and buy time to save her from being forced out of her home by her obnoxious son-in-law.
