Unsung Heroes

The dead body of a woman confirms that Thomas Wilder (Louis Cancelmi) (the serial killer from "Absolute Power") is killing women once again. Danny and Baez go to his mother, who reveals that his twisted psyche stems from an abusive childhood, and gives them a cell address. However when the two head to a building from where the signal came, Wilder has already left so he can watch Danny from a distance - then threatens Danny's family. This in turn leads to Danny and Linda's marriage being further strained, forcing them to see a psychiatrist. TARU traces Wilder's signal to a boat in the harbor, but it blows up, with no evidence if Wilder died inside it or is still alive. Jamie responds to a 911 call where the head officer, Sgt. Mulvey, goes in without backup and takes down the crook while putting the hostage at risk. A scuffle between Jamie and Mulvey breaks out, and while Eddie thinks he overreacting about the sergeant's actions, Gormley does not; he finds out that the sergeant is dying from pancreatic cancer and has been going towards situations in a dangerous fashion so as to get himself killed, while putting lives in danger. Elsewhere, Nicky is concerned when protesters at her college plan to insult Frank during a speech because of their stereotypical police views. She desperately tries to get him to change his mind, but he insists on still going. The protesters' hatefully disrupt Frank's attempted speech; but during Sunday dinner Nicky quotes Teddy Roosevelt's famous "It is not the critic that counts" speech - letting Frank know how proud she is of him.
