What makes this series so good is the human factor shown in law enforcement, and this episode was certainly no exception to the rule.

Frank having to deal with a community activist who claimed an incarcerated individual witnessed a correction officer killing another prisoner. The way Frank spoke at the church at the episode's end was poignant and came straight to the point.

Danny helping a woman coming to her aid when the widow is harassed by a new boyfriend and how he ultimately saved her life was wonderful viewing. When the woman tries to begin a relationship, Danny's expression that it's too soon for him to think about this was the human side at its best.

Jamie delivering a baby and when he comes to break the good news to the father, he sees a decrepit building where they reside and he is forced to report conditions to the Buildings Department, causing the couple to lose their home. How Jamie and Eddie then went out of their way to help the couple, going so far to secure employment for the new dad, really showed human involvement.

Eh -- Another Unbelievable Soap Opera

Sorry, I have to call bullcrap on this episode. The incredibly annoying, overbearing "community organizer" who "convinces" Frank to show up and share a heart rending personal story, the family of illegals for whom Jamie and Edie find an apartment and a JOB -- too sappy, unrealistic and out of place. This one ranks right down there with the episode where Mayor Poole decides to resign, as if any Black, Liberal, Democrat Mayor of NYC has (or would) EVER done such a thing simply for falsely criticizing the NYPD.

Don't get me wrong, this is my FAVORITE show! But puleeze, not when all these crime hardened Cops suddenly fall down for all this Leftist crap. Having a heart is one thing, but being an idiot about it is just too far out of character. Leave that to Nicki.

Writers Left Turn Continues

This season has really been going downhill. Past seasons seemed to have some balance but that is now gone. The characters in this episode not longer support the laws they are supposed to uphold.
