Barney, Fish and Yemana feel the crunch when a labor layoff forces them to do without Chano, Harris and Wojo; a manicurist goes deeper than the nail; a morose stockbroker takes to petty theft.

Yemana is shot in full view of disinterested bystanders, and Barney is offered a job in Florida.

A wife claims spousal abuse; Wojo and Wentworth are bait for a park rapist.

The precinct is on the lookout for an arsonist; Chano brings in a man who used a deadly weapon on a vending machine.

Wojo and Wentworth pose as marrieds in order to bust a burglary ring set in a posh hotel.

Marty claims that a member of the 12th is harassing the gay community; the precinct computers think Fish is dead.

Barney smells a rat when two pounds of confiscated marijuana disappears from the evidence locker, and a homeless man spends the night in a department store—apparently one of many.

A hansom cab owner reports his horse missing. A man assaulted in his hotel room insists he was alone.

During a very rainy day, the squad must endure both the precinct roof threatening to collapse, and VERY bad Bicentennial jokes from a nightclub comedian-the stationhouse roof literally groaning in response!!

A glimpse at Detective Fish's home life ensues when the detective decides to go on restricted duty. Steve Landesberg bows as Arthur Dietrich; Doris Belack fills in for Florence Stanley as Bernice Fish.

A man is convinced that a photo of Jean Harlow is his missing wife; a pair of lady cops makes an overzealous drug bust.

A con man is selling charter flights to Saturn; Wojo and Luger are sniper targets.

Wentworth is furious when Chano gets the credit for her bust of an assassin at a block party.

Wentworth busts a dime-store cowboy in a massage parlor, and the detectives bust an octogenarian mugger.

A department psychiatrist advises the department to confiscate Wojo's gun

Fish is attracted to the mother of a young mugger; a man is a bit premature to obtain the unclaimed windfall he found on the street.

Fish considers an operation; a burglar known as ""The Mole"" leads Harris and Wojo on a merry chase through the city sewer system. Ron Carey plays the Mole, and returns as Levitt in the next season.

Wojo is dismayed to discover that the city doesn't have up-to-date evacuation procedures in the event of an emergency; Fish meets Jilly Pappalardo, a young thief who he will eventually care for in the ""Barney"" spin-off ""Fish.""

Wojo brings in a sick perp who collapses on the floor...resulting in the 12th being put under quarantine,with the following personnel present:A lady of the evening [who gets friendly with Fish!], Marty and Mr Driscoll, and of course, Inspector Lugar....

The quarantined 12th Precinct tries to make it through the night: Lugar has a 'talk' with Marty and Daryl Driscoll; and Harris has a loud rant in his sleep.

Quarters are tight at the 12th when a holdup man is confined with his busload of victims.
