Chen is upset when Harper tells her she may only be cut out for community meetings. When Chen pushes back, Harper tells her that she has to learn to fight like a 5’6” woman against men much bigger than her and most men don’t know to teach her that.

Later, Harper suspects a man is making bombs and wants to take his trash to get a DNA sample to see if he matches an old case. Chen distracts him but when the man sees Harper, he arms the bomb under his floor that will be set up if Chen steps on the pressure plates. 

Chen uses the wear marks on the floor to get passed the pressure plates and arrest the man before he sets off another bomb. Harper admits she was wrong about Chen and agrees to give her advice when she asks for it.
