While Danny and Baez are part of a convoy escorting an undercover moving van transporting $30 million worth of confiscated drugs, they are ambushed by armed gunmen, injuring Baez, and killing the truck's driver. As she and Danny try to uncover a DEA mole, Maria is upset to later find out that her brother Javi is involved with the drug cartel. But Javi reveals he has been a DEA informant for the past three months. As the partners infiltrate a building housing the drugs, Maria sees that Javi is working both sides. When a cartel member fires at Maria, however, Javi steps in front and takes the fatal bullet. Elsewhere, Jamie must make a decision between acting on his newly realized feelings for Eddie or keeping her as a partner, after Sgt. Renzulli reminds him how a romantic relationship between partners is strictly forbidden. Frank is put in a tough spot after a highly commended lieutenant and former partner of Sgt. Gormley's gives the order for a crazed man in the middle of Times Square to be tazed, causing the man to fall into the path of an oncoming van and be killed. While Mayor Poole advises Frank to be deliberately ambiguous at a press conference, Gormley verbally attacks Frank for not defending his friend and former partner.
