This gripping episode begins with Detective John Kelly, a seasoned and dedicated investigator, at odds with his emotions following the devastating loss of his true love, Jeannie. Struggling to cope with his grief, Kelly turns to Lieutenant Arthur Fancy, his commanding officer and confidant, seeking solace and guidance. Fancy, aware of the profound impact Jeannie's death has had on Kelly, encourages him to seek help from a professional therapist. As Kelly grapples with his pain, he becomes increasingly determined to uncover the truth about her murder, which he believes is connected to his work as a detective.

Meanwhile, Detective Sipowicz finds himself unexpectedly confronted by a haunting encounter from his past.
