Warren pushed Wendell who fell to the ground. Warren picked up Wendell’s fun, by the barrel, when Danny got out of his car, aimed his gun at him and ordered him to put down the gun.
Danny didn’t shoot him because there was no immediate threat, the way the guy was holing the gun. Warren jumped into his car and sped off.

Frank tells him to fix it, re-establish discipline and effectiveness immediately.
Erin is in court, it is William Maloney’s time in court and his lawyer suggests that he be released on his own reconisance. Erin says the people appose ROR and request that the judge set bail, because of the defendants lengthy criminal record. The judge denies Erin’s request because of some new law, she says if she sets a bail of twenty thousand and a person who could afford it can get released can be set free, and the person that can’t afford goes to jail, and that is not fair. Erin plans to do anything she can to have him stay in jail.

Officer Witten has made a complaint against Danny, Mike tells him to tell it to internal affairs. Then, Danny meets with IA.

Danny sits down with Henry for a drink and tells him what happened with Pratt. Danny says the Pratt may have killed someone after he let him go. Henry says they don’t shoot suspects because of what they might do. Henry tells Danny that if Pratt shot someone after, that is on him, not on Danny.
