Ty and Sully receive a robbery call, and they go after a man who, after 1 or 2 blocks, falls to the floor and crashes into a series of garbage cans. Suddenly, Ty calls Sully, when he discovers a headless torso. Initially, only the torso is found, but a hand is soon discovered, which enables them to discover the identity of the dead man, who turns out to be Bosco's brother, Mikey.
Bosco is in denial when Sasha, Ty, Sully and the chief tell him. First he blames Lester Martin, but when he denies it, he turns to Cruz, who says she will find the responsible for what happened to his brother, and that "justice" will be made (which Bosco finds ironic. Sergeant Wynn tells Bosco to keep of the anti-crime and narcotics investigation, and not to put pressure on Cruz.
Meanwhile, Faith is at the hospital watching for Rebecca, the abused girl. She soon finds out, after Jan Martin blows up, that Lester beat Rebecca before going to Mikey's trial, and that Rebecca isn't their natural daughter after all, she was robbed from her parents by Lester. In exchange for a deal, Lester gives them a name of a man who supposedly handed her to him, but they discover that he is dead, and that she couldn't possibly be his daughter, as he was black. Sasha and Faith check on the missing children data base, and find her biological mather, and they are able to reunite them. They take Lester to prison for kidnapping, and after he tries to put the blame on Faith, she tells his fellow convicts that he is a children abuser.

We then find out that there was no robbery of a handbag, but that it was planned by Donald Mann, father of the previously deceased Joey Mann, who planned the encounter so that they would find Mikey's body, and who still plans to make Bosco suffer more before he dies.
