Temple and Debreno are working on a carjacking followed by a murder case. Parras is suspicious when the victim's fiance cries, but no tears come from her eyes. The case is only solved with the help of a schizophrenic homeless man with multiple identities, who saw the suspect with another man just before the shooting. Temple and Debreno are not getting along, and Mannion has to interfere before Temple (who's much more religious since his fiancee's death, which annoys Debreno) tries to quit. Ella has to handle a strike/budget crisis. Parras is back on the streets, and her partner takes it hard when another black man insults him. A snake is left loose around the office.
