Description
Lowery is assigned to watch over a smart-mouthed group of female gang members, called the Latin Queens, when one of them is found murdered in her apartment. Suspects are brought in where Kersey interrogates them and discovers that one of the gang members is a cop who has been working undercover for over two years to bring down the gang. Meanwhile, MacElwaine arrests a bitter ex-cop at a bar who assaults Hector, and he injures the man's ribs while doing so. They take him to hospital where the suspect escapes and it leads to a hostage situation back at the bar and only MacElwaine can try to defuse it. The precinct prepares for a new era as MacElwaine announces that he is going to retire after 25 years on the force, and Santoro is promoted to Lieutenant. Although, everyone in the precinct accepts MacEwaine's decision to retire, his ability to defuse the hostage crisis gives him confidence that he may still have a few more good years on the force. Santoro's wife, Vicky, tells him that she may be pregnant again. Captain Jonas throws a double-party for the entire precinct to celebrate Santoro's promotion and MacEwaine's retirement. With Clem still in the hospital, Nona visits him where he tells her that she is free to get back together with Lowery. At the party, Kathleen Doyle and Roussakoff talk about getting back together, while romantic glances between Donovan and Kersey implies hope that they will get back together as well.
