Now that Vic is back to work, he and Shane go undercover as dirty cops to find the man behind a robbery and murder. Dutch and Claudette track down an old rival of Claudette's after a turned-in gun is found connected to an unsolved case, while Aceveda assigns Julien and Danny to watch over a Korean parish in an attempt to secure the Asian vote in the election.

When Lanie's report on the Barn is leaked to the press early, everyone fears the prospect of losing their jobs, including Aceveda, who's mentioned as the reason for most of the precinct's problems. Meanwhile, Gilroy skips bail and winds up on Vic's doorstep looking for help, forcing Vic and Shane to deal with him while Lem shows Strike Team newcomer Tavon the ropes; and Claudette faces some of her own demons as she and Dutch try to uncover the culprit behind a possible robbery/homicide, while Danny comes to a startling realization.
