David insists that Vic and the Strike Team take some uniform cops along as support, including Danny and Julien, when they bust an Armenian gang's drug buy. The Strike Team arrives as one of the Armenians is assassinated and proceed to remove the "pink" coke from the scene while the Unis bring out the surviving thugs. Julien witnesses Vic dividing the confiscated drugs into two and hand off the second bag to Shane. After much deliberation, Julien approaches David with his suspicions about Vic and the evidence. Claudette and Dutch interrogate the Armenians for more information on their drug connections. After storing the drugs in the lock box of his SUV, Shane drives to his girlfriend's, and later he discovers the SUV has been stolen. David and the Strike Team race to find the missing SUV and the drugs. The race ends at a dead junkie's apartment where Vic and the boys are able to get rid of all but one brick of the coke before David arrives and must decide whether to search Vic in front of fellow officers.

Episode Notes |
| |
Writer Kurt Sutter makes his first guest spot on the show as the long haired Armenian wearing the glasses.
| This is the first episode where we start to see the badges appear on the wrong side of the uniform. Apparently the show couldn't get clearance to have them worn over the heart in standard fashion after LAPD found out about the show and its look on police life. They were also forced to change the badges from the traditional LAPD badges to the fake "security like" badges.

A number of times you can see officers badges switch from the traditional L.A. badges to the "fake" badges.
| The Lincoln Navigator that gets stolen is sometimes referred to as blue, sometimes as black. Every scene shows it as black.
