The side against, led by Jacobs and Klotchko, are spreading the word amongst their and the fire department's union chiefs. They're all saying that there are some senior people amongst their ranks who are in favor of crossing training, and it's those people who have to go. These people include Komori and perhaps Parmir. And although Jacobs has issued a directive to his constables not to support the fire department when they post inspection notices on suspected grow-ops, some constables are unofficially defying the directive. On the side for, Da Vinci needs to make his moves a little less public until he plots his entire strategy around the issue. Berger and Forsythe, feeling the heat, convince Da Vinci to put the issue on the back burner for the time being. Ferris and her gang are relishing in the positive publicity in their take-down of a grow-op. The next one, however, does not goes as well, as both the grow-op sitter and Constable Barb Tremaine are killed in the process. Ferris is devastated as it not only puts a crimp on her long term plan, but she was attracted to Tremaine. Ferris' defense is that a warrant was on its way and that the fire department unknowing to her and her colleagues placed an inspection notice on the door which warned the home owners. Tremaine's death places the issue of cross training back on the table. To deflect attention away from Tremaine's death, Jacobs orders his constables to stir up action in the Red Light District. Things turn again when there is a beating in the Red Light District after Da Vinci orders Jacobs to stop harassing people in the district, which Jacobs interprets, for his own purposes, as not having any police presence at all in the district. Da Vinci orders Zack from the squat at Crab Park, saying that his work is complete. But Zack now has an emotional investment in what's happening at the squat. Da Vinci meets with Friedland about an extended stay at Crab Park, this news which gets back to Jacobs by his undercover operative. Friedland is aware that the police have someone amongst his midst and asks Da Vinci to investigate. Leary gets some positive results from the photographs provided by Mottola's daughter, including the identification of some of the boys involved, and the hotel where the boys were taken. This evidence leads to the suspected involvement of a prominent businessman named James Dubreau. Kosmo and Finn learn more about Kumar's investigations into South Asian gangs in an effort to clear his name. Kosmo and Finn are looking for a undercover officer to infiltrate the gang activity.
