When another bomb blast threatens the life of Judge Barbara Halsted, the NYPD special unit scrambles to protect the jurist until she can preside over the murder trial of a drug-dealing biker gang member named Animal.

[edit] Plot Details

Barbara is heartbroken when she discovers that her housekeeper was killed by the explosion; Sasha convinces Maritza to get a rape exam; Sully takes Barbara to his house to keep her safe; Maritza discovers that her rapist, Thomas Warner, has a history of sexually assaulting the workers at the clinic; undeterred by yet another attack on her life, this time by a sniper, Barbara insists on presiding at the preliminary hearing of Gary Barnes, the drug dealer who the police suspect is behind the attempts on her life; Faith visits a psychiatrist and unloads her anger at Bosco and Maritza; after Maritza testifies at the hearing, Barbara rules that Barnes can be held over for trial for the death of Lettie Cruz; when Sully sees Barnes signal a spectator in the court room, he and Ty follow him to a house where they see him join the man who delivered the bomb to Barbara's house; the perps, armed with a detonator, threaten to blow up the block with the explosives they claim are in the house and force Ty to hand over his gun after he attempts to arrest them; Sully comes from the back of the house and fires.

Spoilers end here.

[edit] Trivia

  • Apart from the rape, Cruz also suffers from a strained rotator cuff (shoulder).
  • During the standoff, the antenna on the detonator changes from a silver extendable to a black "rubber-duckie".
