Occupational Hazard

Erin becomes unnerved when she sees that her apartment may have been burglarized, and her suspicions are confirmed when an unidentified assailant violently attacks a co-worker. When a patch from a local biker gang is left behind at the scene of the attack, Erin tells Danny and Maria about putting away the gang's leader several months ago, and they investigate. Their investigation of that gang turns up nothing, but they later find evidence that a rival biker group had a run-in with the suspected gang, and is trying to frame them. Jamie and Eddie find a pipe bomb in an elderly woman's apartment, but their investigation is derailed by a zealous detective. Complicating things, the elderly woman shows signs of Alzheimer's disease and thinks Eddie is her estranged niece, making any testimony from her unreliable. Elsewhere, Frank and Nicky are eating breakfast and get approached by a young man soliciting donations for a Local Heroes Fund. Frank is quickly suspicious because the fund is using the NYPD logo and he has never heard of them. Frank investigates the fund's director, a woman who appears to be sincere despite never submitting paperwork to become a licensed charity. Further investigation, at Frank's insistence, by Det. Baker and Lt. Gormley, reveals that the woman is using an assumed name and is wanted for running similar fraudulent fundraising operations in three other cities.
