In walks the boyfriend cop of the besotted partner who lost HER partner. Ricky asks, "Heard about the cop homicide?" Yeah, who hasn't, but they'll never kill Mumia. Too much publicity. Oh wait, you mean on the show! Yeah. The boyfriend cop is reticent and Sip resents that. The boyfriend cop has a night job and broke up with the lady partner four months ago. So, HE doesn't look good for the cop homicide either. That makes three people called in for no good reason. Sip says, "Totally blind alley." Totally, dude.

Greg and "D" come in with the raggedy bar guy. D drags him into the pokey and Fancy and Greg decide to let him do the interview, "to see what kind of chops he's got." Screw chops, I want to see what kind of ASS he's got! We can use a new postcard on Mighty Big TV! Then D comes back and asks how they're going to run things, and Greg says AGAIN that D will do the interview "to see what kind of chops he's got." Heard ya the first time! Sip and Ricky take a look at each other, grab some popcorn and run to watch from behind the two-way mirror thing.

Baldwin comes into the pokey, lets Darnell the skel out, and puffs up three times his normal size. You know, to intimidate him. Then he starts speaking: "You shot a cop, Darnell." Darnell denies it. This goes back and forth for a while until Darnell yells, "Is that my act? How much money was taken from this guy?" Then, POW! Baldwin hauls off and cold-cocks the guy! A little police brutality! Just like in the old days...last week on NYPD Blue. And in real life too! Juries won't even convict cops that MURDER people! But people that murder COPS? Now THOSE are the REAL bad guys. Darnell is so impressed with this brutality that he confesses; it WAS him who shot the cop. The end. Just kidding! Greg says, "You killed a cop without remorse or explanation; you're a dead man." Thanks for spelling that out, Greg. Then Darnell says it was the gun; it went off accidentally as he was cocking it. Baldwin asks him to produce the gun so they can check that. Ricky says from behind the glass, "Nice interview." Sip comments on D's left hook. Whatever.

Later, in the office locker room, Baldwin is getting ready to go jogging. Greg comes in and starts blabbing about how he got typewriter ribbon on his hands. Geek. Baldwin takes off his shirt and -- oh baby! -- he's built like a brick HOUSE. He's mighty mighty! Letting it all hang out! Greg turns away, dazzled, and says, "You're a growing boy." His eyes work. Then Greg says he feels they "worked good together," and they pat each other. Aww!
