Two guys in a bar get into a fight in front of Sid, who the next day comes to work with a black eye. Apparently one of the guys in the fight was a cop who believes in defund the police. Also Sid was with some reporters at the time.

A Mr. Reeves comes to see Jamie. He tells Jamie he screwed up and owes a bookie 23k. He wants to get revenge on the guys who beat him up without getting in trouble.

Danny takes the fact that the biggest shipment of illegal drugs ever is landing in NYC personally. Also he has to work with Waylon Gates on this. Danny thinks they should start with the border guards. Gates says that won't work and whoever controls NY controls the market.

Jamie goes to talk to the bookie and it's his old mentor. His mentor offers to buy him a beer. He also claims to have nothing to do with the gambling part of the business. He says he just gave Jason advice not to bet over his head. He's proud of Jamie for becoming a sergeant.

Frank calls in one of the officers involved in the fight. The guy says some people think defunding the police is a good idea. He admits he lost his temper. Frank says Salter is still entitled to his opinion. He expects better judgment from his officers and is recommending suspension for embarrassing the department.

Dannoy and Gates arrest an informant who doesn't appreciate being cuffed. Danny tells him loudly that he doesn't want people to know he's an informant. Anyway, Rudy claims he doesn't know anything about the shipment coming in. He thought they had an understanding. Danny says it's different this time -- what does he know? Gates offers him money. Rudy tells them about a meeting happening tonight.

Eddie has confirmed that the bookie works out of the bar. Also it looks like Coolidge is involved. Eddie thinks they should look the other way.

Gates and Danny discover a bunch of dead bodies. Gates can't wait to meet the suspect.

The Mayor calls Frank in and tells him to leave the barfight alone. Frank says it's an internal police matter. Chase thinks it's a NY matter and also Frank shouldn't suspend the cop who stood up for cops. Chase thinks people's views have involved. Tourists don't want to hear about fewer cops. Frank says his agenda is only that cops cannot attack fellow officers, period. The mayor says New Yorkers want to increase the NYPD budget. Frank points out that Chase is supported by wealthy New Yorkers but blue collar workers fear cops sometimes. Chase is annoyed. Frank tells him to stop trying to micromanage.the cops.

Gates eats donuts and gets a call. They found a truck in New Jersey.

Jamie calls Coolidge in. Coolidge again pours it on thick about how lucky they are to have Jamie. Jamie tells him that he's been fingered as a bookie. He says that he can't pay back the debt for what Coolidge taught him but he thinks that Coolidge should stop being a bookie. Coolidge says Jamie forgot what probable cause is. Also he thinks Jamie should be more loyal to him.

The truck driver claims someone stole his cargo at a gas station. There's a picture of him and gangbangers unloading drugs, but he denies everything. Also he won't help because he's scared of the cartel killing him.

Jamie comes to see Sid. Sid has the intel report and is upset that Coolidge's name on it. He says he worked with Coolidge and he's a hell of a cop. Jamie says he has respect for Coolidge but he is beating people up. Sid says Coolidge is a good cop whose wife is sick. Jamie is lucky and gets breaks so he should think about that before the report enters the system.

Danny is angry that Gates didn't tell him that his partner was killed the same way as the ADTs. That would explain why Gates is up here. Gates thinks he has a hell of an imagination.  Danny has a photo of the cartel leader. He thinks Gates wants to kill the guy. Gates says he is here to stop the shipment.

Garrett calls Sid in. They have a problem. The mayor has written an op-ed saying Frank is too soft on crime.

Gates apologizes to Danny who isn't interested. Gates tells him about his partner's death. Danny says there will be a time and place to catch the prick, but not now. Besides the guy could be in Mexico by now. Gates tells Danny to go to family dinner and he will work the case.

Jamie and Eddie talk. Jamie feels Sid was out of line. Eddie thinks not everything is black and white. Coolidge was a good cop who helped Jamie decide to become a cop. Jamie says Coolidge encouraged him to think about why he wanted to become a cop. Jamie wanted to help people. Eddie says if she owed a guy her career she would lose a lot of sleep before she put him away.

At dinner everyone is insisting Jamie should tell Eddie who his first kiss was. Everyone talks about their first kisses. Erin kissed two brothers. They want to know about Pops, who tells them. Danny kissed a girl who knew her way around hickeys. Jamie says anyway Eddie never told me about hers. Eddie says her first kiss was a girl. She was five. Jamie kissed Laurie Kaplan, the rabbi's daughter. Everyone wants to know about Frank. Frank says he never had a real kiss before Danny's mother.

Meanwhile Gates gets a call and goes out. A guy sneaks behind him and steals his gun. Gates says you knew I'd come for you. The guy questions to cut him up. Danny shows up with a gun and they arrest the guy. Danny had put a GPS tracker on El Demanio. Gates says take off, we have unfinished business. Danny says no. He takes the bad guy away.

Danny tries to interrogate Lopez and gets nowhere. Gates brings in a fentanyl-laced sample of heroin and they threaten to make Lopez take it if he doesn't tell them where the shipment is.  Lopez gives up the address. Gates says he is taking Lopez back to Texas.

Sid is annoyed that Coolidge's name is still on the report. He thinks Coolidge never hurt anyone and this won't make Jamie popular. Jamie says that's not why he's here. Sid can't believe that Jamie is just like Frank.

The drugs are in a day care center. The kids are out so they are good to raid the place. Gates finds a little girl who didn't get out for some reason. He gets her evacuated.

There is a shootout in the basement. Danny shoots a guy for Dex.

Gates and Danny compliment each other and eat the powdered sugar they pretended was fentanyl. He and Gates go to get donuts together.

Jamie goes to see Coolidge who calls him a rat. The DA didn't press charges. Coolidge says your friend is the one who made those debts. He says he didn't lay hands on the kid. He knows where the line is and the other guys would have been more violent. Jamie asks how Coolidge's wife is. He heard that's why Coolidge is doing this. Coolidge says he worked his ass off and was never there. He figured the least he could do was try to be there for her now. She doesn't know he's doing this. Jamie wants to pay his wife's expenses. Coolidge says he can't take Jamie's money.  He hopes Jamie will stop by for a beer every once in a while.

Frank comes to see the mayor. Mayor says he was entitled to his opinion just lake Salter. Frank says again that the cop deserved the suspension. Chase calls him self-righteous and says he threw his own guy under the bus. Frank says he followed the rules. And that stops the other 35k cops from going off book. He says he doesn't go looking for fights with Chase. They decide to go out for drinks.
