The Road to Hell

While driving home from a party, Nicky and a group of friends are pulled over and arrested when the police find drugs in her car. Erin decides to let prosecution handle it since Nicky knows who is responsible, but doesn't want to be a snitch, and her college suspends her. The matter is settled when she convinces the guilty party to turn themselves in -- a tactic she learned about through advice from Sid Gormley. Danny investigates the death of deceiving pimp Pablo, which all his prostitutes claim to have killed him. Questioning an angry man named Haviere, they learn that his sister Martinez was one of Pablo's prostitutes and may have done it herself. Danny finds her just as she is about to commit suicide, but manages to talk her down; he also arrests the other prostitutes so Martinez's self-defense statement will be backed by Erin. Frank learns that Mason Reyes, a troubled young man, has been stealing money from the local branch of the Catholic Church and recommends that he be punished. Instead, local pastor Father Quinn believes in forgiveness and lets him off the hook. The P.C. leans Quinn has a history of allowing Mason to slide off crimes, and becomes increasingly worried. The scenario culminates when Reyes arrives at the church with a gun and threatens lives, a forced struggle between the priest and man for the gun getting both shot. Both survive, but the delinquent now will be going to jail for his misguided crimes.
