Since Vic's still raw over Tio's death, the gruesome beating of Armadillo, and the fact that Claudette won't lay off of his connection to Tio, he decides to take the day off and leave his Strike Team in David's care. While they're off busting male hookers working outside David's campaign headquarters, Vic and his old partner, Joe, check in on an old enemy – Fleetwood. Joe still holds a grudge against the man that had him kicked off the force. Now it's time for payback. He knows Fleetwood's still scheming, so he gets Vic to back him up on a bust that ends up going horribly awry. Meanwhile, Danny discovers that Julien didn't back up her version of the shooting at the Al-Thanis' and now may be pulling desk duty for the rest of her career unless things are cleared up. In the midst of all this chaos, a young man enters the barn with a severed arm and drops it on Dutch's desk. Once he discovers that the arm belongs to a woman who's still alive, he and Claudette find themselves running against the clock to find her before she dies.

Episode Notes
 
A film was being made in the same area as some of the outdoor shots. Both crews kept running into eachother, delaying production by 4 days.
 
This episode was the lowest rated episode of the season.
 
A number of scenes were deleted from the show, including one where Yahssirah yells at Danny for shooting her husband, a part where Danny shows signs of racism toward Arab cultures, and a fight between David and the auditor over the shooting. All can be found on the Season 2 DVD.

Episode Quotes
 
(Guy takes severed arm out of a bag)
Dutch: That's an arm...
 
Claudette: I got a dead drug dealer, I got a suspect, who's probably skipped town and the only person who can shed any light on it is a uncooprative cop with a bad rap. You want me to let his case just slip away son?

 
Shane: Do you know what "Officer Involved Shooting" means? It meas we're all involved.
Julien: I told the truth.
Shane: Hey, when it comes to your partner's career, truth is like grits. You don't serve it up plain, pour the salt on it! God-damn rookies.
