In the beginning, Rico tries to save a person who's been shot in the chest when a huge guy on PCP attacks Rico. Rico fights back, but the fighting back has gone under investigation. Barnes finds an elderly old friend named Earl, and he wants to help him after being assaulted by gang members. Meanwhile, Lopez and Jablonski respond to a call at a club and a disturbance at a car wash.

Before the public's trust in law enforcement fades any further, Rico, Barnes and the other deputies must find a group who are posing as cops and committing home invasion robberies. Meanwhile, Jablonski is baffled when the same criminal keeps escaping his grasp, and Layne and Williams are grossed out when they find the source of a strange odor emanating from a janitor's apartment.
