In the Heat of the Night is a police procedural drama that follows the investigations of the Sparta police department in Mississippi. Season 5 episode 19, titled "Moseley's Lot", first aired on March 24, 1992.

The episode starts with Chief Gillespie (played by Carroll O'Connor) swearing in a new officer, WD Moseley (played by Rick Hamilton), who is welcomed by his fellow officers, including Virgil Tibbs (played by Howard Rollins). Moseley has a reputation for being a little overenthusiastic and somewhat trigger happy, much to Gillespie's chagrin. However, Gillespie is willing to give the young officer a chance and hopes he will mature on the job.

Shortly after Moseley's introduction, the Sparta Police Department becomes embroiled in the investigation of the murder of a local business owner, Frank Morris. As they interview potential suspects, it becomes clear that the case is far from straightforward and that multiple individuals may have been involved in Morris' death.

As the investigation heats up, Moseley becomes increasingly aggressive in his tactics, which makes his colleagues uncomfortable. Tibbs, who has taken a liking to Moseley, tries to advise him to calm down and think before he acts, but Moseley's eagerness to prove himself gets the better of him.

As the evidence begins to point towards a group of local drug dealers as the culprits, Moseley takes it upon himself to take down the entire operation, even though they do not have any concrete evidence to back up their suspicions. His rash actions put himself and his fellow officers in danger, and it becomes clear that his impulsiveness may be a liability to the team.

In the end, the case is solved, but not without some casualties along the way. Moseley learns valuable lessons about the high stakes of police work and the importance of working as a team. As the episode concludes, it remains to be seen whether Moseley will take Tibbs' advice to heart and learn from his mistakes.
