Sipowicz suspects that an off-duty cop who got shot (Hatcher) is dirty, and an old man is shot dead at a seedy hotel.

Detective Hatcher engineers a transfer for Sipowicz out of the 15th precinct to the Bellevue Morgue with the assent of a spineless Gibson, but Clark Jr. takes the lead in countering the bad detective. Sipowicz, for his part, continues to investigate Hatcher for murder and gets help from a stealth-smart desk officer, and a dominatrix is found bludgeoned to death.

An 18 year old rape-murder case of Sipowicz's is re-opened when DNA evidence and a confession indicates the man convicted of the crimes wasn't involved.

Devlin shows up at the squad, obviously off her meds, and disturbs both Clark and Ronson.

Note

Devlin spirals downward and is committed to a psych ward. As DNA continues to rule out suspects in the 18-year-old case of Cindy Clifton, the prime suspect is now a teacher who was at her school. Ortiz and Ronson catch the case of a man who was relieved of an heirloom $35,000 necklace in a mugging. Michael Woodruff testifies against his father. When the new suspect in Cindy's death is found to have died in an overdose, Andy has strong suspicions about the retired detective who caught the original case and wrestles with how to handle them.

Andy and Connie have had a little boy, Matthew Nicholas. Clark picks Devlin up after her release from the hospital, but their reunion is short and tragic & send Clark into a severe funk. Sipowicz, Clark, Medavoy, and Jones investigate the murder of a mom who left her blue collar husband (and father of their son) for a wealthy jerk. An old informant of Ronson's shows up and offers her and Ortiz info about a shipment of stolen guns. Craig Woodruff is found not guilty and Baldwin doesn't handle it well.
