Completely going amnesiac about last week's events this week, Schraeger and Walsh attempt to help one of their own who blacked out during a raging bender and might have killed someone.
The episode begins in the station, not with Walsh and Beaumont banging in Walsh's apartment. I am assuming because Beaumont is still in the hospital and masturbation is not usually shown on TV. Dispatch reminds everyone it is Crime Awareness Day, tomorrow is crime prevention day, and Thursday is Sloppy Joe day. I'm glad that at least 1 day a week they try to prevent crime instead of solving already committed ones. I suppose if they had more than 1 day and were successful they'd be out of a job.
Alvarez is dragging in a creepy clown into the station. He bumps into Schraeger and Walsh. The clown was stabbing random people with hypodermic needles because he believes they all have STD's. As Schrager and Walsh go upstairs she comments "Clowns sure were different when I was a kid." Not sure how old she is but didn't she ever get traumatized by Killer Clowns form Outer Space? Or John Wayne Gacy?
They are stopped by a guy whom is introduced as Lou Powell, an officer in another squad or division or something. Lou is upset about something so Casey wanders off so they can talk in private. He can't talk to anyone in his squad. Lou explains that he's been sober for 5 years but he thinks he might have killed someone last night. He woke up 2 hours before with blood on his shirt and his off duty weapon missing. Walsh takes the shirt from him, going to get it analyzed by lab tech. Lou tries to say thanks but Walsh says "If you did this, I can't protect you."
Delahoy is in the Chinese restaurant ordering. He makes a joke about frogs and squab necks. Alvarez walks in. "'Stache." So they go off naming types of mustaches. Tom Selleck, nay, Serpico. Mine is the Chevron, made popular by Einstein."He leaves with a "Keep it real, man."
Which is kind of funny considering that the next second Delahoy sees a vision of a young girl in a high school varsity jacket, who obviously isn't real. She says his mustache makes him look old. "Karen?" asks Delahoy. She transforms into Brown who is standing at the chair opposite Eric and clutching the top. A body showed up late last night with a gunshot wounds. 'Son, it's Leo."
Schraeger is let in on Lou's problem. She asks to see his knuckles and they are all scraped up. He must have been fighting. She then asks to see what is in his pocket. There are a couple items including a little drink umbrella. The only interesting thing to Casey is a picture of the periodic table of elements. Why can't they ever pull something alive out. Would be so much more interesting. A frustrated Walsh tries to ask what Lou remembers. He says he remembers a liquor store so they decide to start there. As they walk out Brown stops them to see if they can take a larceny case. Walsh says they can't they have a "1313." Brown says they have 6-0. As they walk away he explains to Casey that a 1313 means Officer in trouble. They have 6 hours to resolve the problem.
Delahoy goes to the morgue to see the body. He talks to the attendant who tells him that the man died in a liquor store robbery. He slowly walks over to the body, then he laughs. He peels back the sheet to reveal an Asian guy. He tells the girl that this isn't his partner. She says that the social security number matched the ID. She morphs into Karen and starts talking about her life being ruined in high school because she got knocked up by another guy. He winces with a headache and asks the attendant what she knows about tumors and hallucinations. She confirms that tumors can cause hallucinations. He tells her to get a real ID on the body. Oops, she already told the Social Security office he's dead. Why do they assume it's a stolen ID? Maybe another Leo Banks lives at the exact same address as Leo. It's not like Leo Banks is a really ethnic name either, an Asian guy could be Leo.
