All the News That's Fit to Click

While riding along with Jamie and Eddie, journalist Lorenzo Colt is shot by an unknown assailant. Frank believes that this is evidence of a cop killer, so he has Gormley assign the case to Danny and Baez. But since Colt refuses to shed information (and instead exclusively reveal it on his news website), the two have to work from a different angle. Several pieces of evidence lead Danny to Michael Hicks, a man with a vendetta and history of violence against cops. He lures Hicks in through a fake ticket prize, but when lined up to see if he is recognized as the assailant, Colt doesn't talk, and the perp walks free. Later, the reporter is pushed from a building to his death, but his pair of spyglasses enable the detective to catch Hicks red-handed. Garret is offered a high-paying job by a university head, and nearly considers it due to his feelings of guilt about what happened to Colt. Meanwhile, Linda is bothered about Danny's safety, mainly stemming from being shot (see episode 5x22 "The Art of War").
