A series of 10-13s (officer in need of assistance) are called in anonymously while robberies take place elsewhere in the 55th Precinct. Faith and Cruz butt heads while Bosco keeps lying to Faith about dying declarations and his relationship with Cruz. Cruz hunts down the robbers and tries to take one down on her own, and almost gets killed doing so. Even after Faith saves Cruz's life, Cruz simply tells Faith that Bosco was the witness to the dying declaration, so if Faith tries to do anything she'll just be hurting Bosco. Faith is pissed when she realizes Bosco has been lying to her about everything. Cruz continues to mess around with Bosco, but treats him like crap, driving him crazy. Doc meets Joy's dad, and realizes that they're the same age. While they bond over their love for funk music, Joy's dad tells Doc to stop messing around with girls half his age, and gets Doc thinking about the inappropriateness of his relationship. Sully gets mugged while he's drunk and doesn't remember how he got the bruises on his body. Ty is ready to give up on trying to be Sully's friend, but Sully finally turns to him for help.

Sully is back on duty with Ty, and although he's suffering, he's trying to stay sober. A father and his baby girl are in a horrible car crash, and after police find out that the father has been reported for kidnapping, the baby's mother absconds from the hospital with her child. It turns out that the mother is schizophrenic and off her meds, and the baby has overdosed on acetominophen, and Ty finds himself talking the mother down from the edge of a building with her baby. Although Ty saves both mother and child, he loses his footing and is only saved by a quick grab from Sully. Sully hangs onto Ty long enough for firefighters to blow up an airbag, and then he loses his grib, but Ty has a safe landing. Sully drinks while in uniform to take the edge off dropping his partner off a building. Ty decides it's time to report Sully for drinking on the job. Bosco tries to talk to Faith about all the lies, but just ends up airing some of Faith's secrets that Emily might have overheard. Faith bribes Emily to go to a drug counselor, and is pleasantly surprised when Emily enjoys it and wants to go back. Faith is a little upset when Emily says it's nice to finally be able to talk to someone she can trust. Doc argues that Carlos shouldn't be suspended when they're short on paramedics, and Carlos happily resumes active duty, but after one day he finds out that he's being fired anyway as part of the legal settlement between the department and the family of the girl who accused Carlos of molesting her.

A thoroughly drunken Sully, who has decided to clean his gun in the middle of the night, is kidnapped by Ty, Bosco, and some knowledgebale union guys, and taken to a remote mountain cabin to dry out. Deranged and desperate for a drink, Sully spews out anger, lies and hurtful truths in all directions, going so far as to tell Ty that the bullet that killed his father was being shot at Sully. Sully finally turns a corner when Ty still refuses to turn his back on his partner.

When an armored truck is overturned, the cops have to fight off a crowd of people scrabbling for cash on the street. Bosco decides to chase a suspect instead of grabbing up the big bag of money he dropped, and Bosco and Faith end up losing the collar to Cruz and losing the money to someone in the neighborhood. Faith is disgusted with Bosco when he wants to lie about seeing the money in the first place. Bosco and Faith decide maybe they shouldn't be partners anymore. The investigating detective on the armored car case, Valenzuela, shares a history with Cruz, and Cruz promises Bosco she'll put in a good word to get him off the hook for the missing money. Faith and Bosco end up busting the case and figuring out that it was a setup by the driver of the armored car. A famous journalist, Aaron Noble, is stabbed while researching a new book, and is charmed by his paramedic, Kim, who he asks out on a date. Kim and Doc answer a call and find themselves caring for the girl, Nicole, who accused Carlos of touching her. She has attempted suicide, and tells Kim that her step-father is the one who has been touching her. While the girl's mother wants to ignore it, Kim implores her to listen to her daughter crying out for help, and finally Nicole says that Carlos didn't do anything improper.

Faith, after asking for a new partner at work, comes home to find out that Emily has been hanging out with Eric, the guy who gave her the drugs that put her in the hospital. Faith confronts Eric's mother, who is under the impression that Emily bought the drugs with Eric, and asks the woman to keep her son away from Emily. A furious Emily confronts her mother about the abortion that Bosco mentioned. After spending the night with Aaron Noble, Kim is pleased when he asks her to a formal dinner the following evening. Noble gets arrested by Cruz and Bosco when he buys drugs as part of his research, and to gain his own freedom, he helps them take down a dealer. Unfortunately, Noble still isn't out of jail in time to meet Kim, who has spent all day during her shift with Carlos preparing for her date, and then ends up being stood up. Bosco realizes the Cruz stole one of Noble's research notebooks because it had information in it about her.

Noble apologizes to Kim and convinces to give him another chance and have dinner with him. Bosco and Cruz, tailing a smalltime dealer in the hopes of finding a bigtimer named Buford, find their mark murdered by Noble. Against Bosco's judgment, Cruz agrees to lie for Noble if he helps them find Buford. Faith has a new partner, a very level-headed woman named Sasha Monroe. Faith takes Sasha's advice and stays out of Bosco's business even when Bosco comes to her for help. With help from Fred and advice from Sasha, Faith tries to mend her relationship with her daughter. Bosco snoops in the notebook Cruz stole from Noble and finds out that Cruz is called Two-Bags Cruz on the street, because she sometimes deals to skels to get them under her thumb. Noble has another wonderful overnight date with Kim, but starts going through some real withdrawal while he keeps his nose clean. Cruz and Bosco, starting to be on the outs with each other, bust into where Noble says Buford is headquartered.

In a car with some strange jet-engine attachment, Buford busts out of a nearby garage as Bosco and Cruz bust into his house. A car chase ensues which ends with a huge car accident and Buford getting away. The paramedics show up, Taylor reluctantly included, but the jet-engine attachment explodes, and not only kills Taylor, but rips her in half. Lt. Johnson also suffers some serious burns. In the wake of the disaster, Doc decides to take a promotion that he annually turns down. Kim and Ty bring Alex's mother to the hospital. Bosco realizes that Cruz is no good and is making him do all of her lying for him. Bosco begs Faith to help him out by getting Noble's gun while he makes sure that Noble is not in his hotel room. Cruz figures out what's going on, and confronts Faith in Noble's hotel room. In a tense situation, Faith, Bosco and Cruz all have guns pulled, and three shots are fired.
