Fresh Start

Erin is pulled from a date to learn that a police officer was shot by none other than Adrian Cook, a felon who was given a second chance by her as part of the Mayor's "Fresh Start" program. She feels incredibly guilty and faces scrutiny by both the media and the cop's widow. However, ballistics indicate the gun Cook discarded wasn't the one used to kill the officer. After finding video proof of him committing another robbery nearby, Erin and Anthony are able to apprehend the real shooter by looking at a carjacking report. Frank and Mayor Poole are at the odds because the latter will not formally ask Frank if he wants to stay on as commissioner. Their initial meeting turns into an out-of-line argument about the Fresh Start program, but they later settle on an agreement of the P.C.'s future. Elsewhere, Danny is assigned a missing cop, Ken Nelson, suspected of going AWOL. Jamie reveals that he has been rumored to be on drugs after his son died and his wife divorced him. The detectives locate him in a drug house, only to be conflicted over what to do with him; Danny wants to take him in for drug abuse, while Baez wants to gt him treatment (stemming from her brother's history in drugs). She also feels that Danny bends the rules enough times for himself, and should do it once for her. Eventually he complies, and the two take Nelson to rehabilitation.
