Detectives Briscoe and Logan look into a lover's lane murder and hope to identify a bespeckled suspect from a parking ticket. But their investigation is interrupted when they come across a man who just had his penis cut off by his jealous wife (who happens to clock Logan with a frying pan). Briscoe wants to get out on time to see the Knicks, but Van Buren assigns them to a fatal stick-up. When the gunman in the robbery also turns up dead, they arrest a guy who threatens them with a burrito. Meanwhile, Lenny and Mike think the man with thick-glasses is the lover's lane shooter. By the time they realize he's got a solid alibi, he's shanked at Rikers.
And why was there an entire episode that only followed the police? Because Michael Moriarty had...issues.
