When Erin loses a star witness in a case that will convict mob boss Victor Dano, she and McBride try to get Vincent Rela (Dan Hedaya), a man currently in witness protection, to risk his life and come back to the city and testify. Jamie and Eddie follow up on a tip from a civilian volunteer named Andy about a man selling drugs near a school. While the officers try to apprehend the perp, Andy approaches the man and is shot in the foot. The perp then turns the gun toward Eddie, who shoots and kills him. After the usual hearing, everyone agrees it was a clean shoot, but Jamie can see his partner is having a tough time dealing with her first kill. Meanwhile, Mayor Poole asks Frank to "look into" an arrest that involves the husband of a favorite employee. Gormley and Garrett think Frank should invoke "quid pro quo" and use the request to get Poole to quit dragging his feet on increasing the police pension funding.
