Plot Details

Paramedic Jerry Mankowitz survives surgery but remains comatose. Jerry's shooting profoundly affects everyone, especially his wife, Jayme and three children.

Doherty gives ex-wife Kim a bulletproof vest. She's hesitant about wearing it and becomes angry when partner Bobby reminds her that she has a young child to consider. She wears the vest for a while but, finding it cumbersome, eventually removes it.

Meanwhile, Doc and Carlos, an acrophobe, must rescue a painter who dangles outside a high-rise office building after an explosion.

Sully learns that Jerry's attacker, Michael Daniels, a deinstitutionalized paranoid schizophrenic, can be found at The Garfield Hotel, a vacant building inhabited by homeless. As Sully and Davis race to the hotel, a contractor, scheduled to begin renovations there, asks Bosco and Yokas to remove squatters from the site.

Going from room to room, Bosco rousts the derelicts, unaware that Jerry's shooter is among them. Bosco finally discovers Daniels huddled in a corner crying. When Bosco shines his flashlight on the man's face, Daniels shoots Bosco in the chest. A flak vest saves Bosco, who feigns death. Daniels takes Bosco's gun, but Bosco has a backup in an ankle holster.

Police storm the building, and Daniels returns their gunfire until the two weapons in his hands are empty. When Daniels pulls a third gun from his waistband, Bosco has a clear shot at the young man but cannot shoot the clearly disturbed individual. He tackles Daniels, and the two fall out of a second-story window. Bosco sustains a superficial laceration, but Daniels suffers a spinal cord injury that renders him a quadriplegic. Yokas does not believe Bosco's claim that he didn't have a clear shot at Daniels and is happy that her trigger-happy partner may be maturing
