They respond to a home and get pulled into an epic family dispute that would eventually leave one dead and one fighting for their life. Kevin leaping into the Detroit River to save a drowning child would put the entire police department in the hot seat over a moral conundrum while the U.S. attorney attempts to extradite a child killer from Canada.

A felony stop would lead to Commander Jenkins providing Joe and Kevin with a valuable tool as the chief green lights a big project that would ultimately cost Kevin his life.
