[edit] Plot Summary

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.

[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".
