- At a penthouse rooftop party in the city, a group of students are enjoying themselves as the host announces that her father is away until the weekend. She sends a couple of students into a bedroom when she feels that they are making out too strongly on the dance floor. She heads up the stairs when another students remarks that she can't believe that a fellow student invited someone else as they sit on a couch together. The host shrugs it off saying that they deserve each other. The girl on the couch feels that it was a bad idea for her to come to the party as the boy, Billy, calms her by saying that the host, Caitlin, had invited him. He tells her that she knows that they are a couple and that she loves drama. He then kisses his girlfriend causing Caitlin to scoff at this. The girlfriend tells her that she feels close to him and Billy offers a way to become closer: a drug called M-Cat. Billy wishes to try it with his girlfriend saying that the feeling would be awesome. The girlfriend is unsure of this, but Billy reassures her that the drug is not addicting. The captain of the lacrosse team overhears the conversation and announces that, if the girlfriend won't do the drug, he will. Billy takes a hit of the drug.
In the city, Jamie and Sgt. Renzulli have pulled over a lady in a car for talking on her phone while driving. The lady scolds Jamie for not taking murderers and drunk drivers off the streets and instead pulling her over. Jamie declares he is just looking out for her safety. Jamie tries to be professional, but the lady is rude and drives away. Jamie tells Renzulli that he hates this part of the job. Renzulli responds by reminding him that their commanding officer wants an increase in activity. He also tells Jamie that maybe he should have stuck with becoming a lawyer instead of a becoming a police officer. They then get a call over the radio of a loud and boisterous complaint. At the Reagan house, Erin arrives wearing a nice dress and Frank comes downstairs wearing a tuxedo as they are going out for the evening. Henry has agreed to watch Nicky and he suggests playing a game of Scrabble. Nicky declines saying she has a lot of homework to do. Henry asks what's going on with his great granddaughter and Erin tells her that Nicky feels she is too old to be babysat. Frank suggests that maybe Erin should loosen the reigns a little. Erin reminds Frank that he had sent a patrol car to follow her around when she had gone to her prom. Frank confesses that he wouldn't do that; in fact the car that he did send was unmarked. Henry also confesses that he had checked the driving record of Erin's prom date and they leave together. Back at the party, Jamie and Sgt. Renzulli arrive at the party. They knock on the door twice and Caitlin answers. Sgt. Renzulli tells her about the noise complaint and asks if a party is going on, especially since it a school night. Caitlin says that they are working on a class project. Jamie asks if there is any underage drinking going on to which Caitlin denies. Sgt. Renzulli asks if her parents are home and Caitlin lies saying that her father stepped out to go the store. Suddenly a girl yells out at her friends begging them to wake up. Sgt. Renzulli and Jamie enter the apartment and they find Billy, his girlfriend, the captain of the lacrosse team, and another student passed out. Sgt. Renzulli calls for an ambulance and Jamie does CPR on Billy's girlfriend.
As Frank and Erin arrive at the event they are attending, a member of Frank's security detail tells him the situation at the party. Billy, the captain of the lacrosse team, and the third male student all had died, but the girlfriend survived and was sent to the hospital. Frank asks what kind of a drug was used to which the answer is unknown or where the source of the drug came from. Frank also becomes aware that Jamie saved the girl's life. Frank asks his officer if there is something else to which he denies, but then admits that he felt that he should not have told Frank about the overdose. He felt that it would infringe on Frank's personal life. Frank praises his officer and attends the event. At the hospital, Jamie keeps watching over the girlfriend, Alyson, as she wakes up. She admits that her head is fuzzy due to the medicine she was given to counteract the drugs she took, but she has no recollection of doing so. She asks where Billy is, but Jamie deflects answering saying that he needs to get a doctor for Alyson. Jamie says that he is sorry and Alyson realizes that Billy had died. Then Danny and his partner, Detective Jackie Curatola, arrive in the hospital room to question Alyson. Danny asks Jamie what is going on and he tells him that Alyson was asking about Billy. Jamie confesses that he didn't know what to tell her and sends Jamie out of the room. Jackie starts to question Alyson, but she doesn't believe that any of it is real. Danny adds that questions have to be asked so they can figure out what happened. Jackie shows Alyson a picture of the cat logo that was on the drugs asking her if she recognizes it. Alyson admits that she knew that it was a drug that Billy had gotten. Danny asks if she knew where Billy had gotten the drug, Alyson responds by saying she doesn't know where he got it and that she doesn't do drugs. Danny tells her she is lucky to be alive. Alyson asks about the other boys from the party and Jackie confirms to her that they died. Danny stresses that it is very important that they figure out where the drugs came from so no one else dies. Alyson agrees. Danny asks if she heard or saw anything that she can remember. Alyson was told nothing and saw nothing because nobody at school talks to her. All the friends at the party were Billy's friends. Danny assures Alyson that she will be all right and he and Jackie leave the room. In the hallway, Danny scolds Jamie about making Alyson cry, but then praises his brother for saving her life. Jamie asks if it just an overdose. Jackie answers that it would take awhile until the toxicity reports come back to be sure. Jackie suggests to start questioning every student at the party to find the drug dealer. Danny suggests they start with the one who threw the party, Caitlin. As Jamie leaves the hospital, he gets a text from Agent Anderson asking why he hasn't contacted them.
Erin picks up Nicky from school and they are talking about being in the city alone. Nicky announces that she wants to be part of a group of six fellow students to go out and eat Chinese food and see a movie. Erin asks if she can see the movie somewhere else, but it takes place at Film Forum. Nicky promises to take the subway straight home after the movie then claims that her father would let her go. Erin agrees but makes Nicky promise to come home safely and never use her father as leverage. Nicky promises to text her mother constantly and that she will be safe. Nicky then gets an alert on her phone about the students that overdosed at the party. Nicky reveals that she knows students at that school. Danny and Jackie are questioning Caitlin about the drugs at the party with her father, Tom Breyer, attempting to answer for her. He declares that his daughter does not do drugs which Danny sarcastically agrees with since Caitlin did not die from the drugs Billy took. Danny asks Caitlin who Billy bought the drugs from and Tom answers that she doesn't know. Danny asks Tom to let Caitlin answer the question to which he gets the same answer. Caitlin responds that she has to live with the fact that three people died in her apartment. Tom suggests that Danny is upsetting his daughter and the whole situation isn't her fault. Danny suggests putting the blame on Tom. Tom trusts his daughter and that all of it started as an innocent get together. He blames Billy for taking advantage of her. Danny reminds him that there was more than one kid at the party and that he should back off and let Caitlin help with the investigation. Tom claims he has done nothing illegal and that it is legal for a 16 year old to be alone in a secure building. Jackie asks Caitlin again stressing that she needs to be the one who answers the question as to where Billy got the drugs. Catlin again answers that she doesn't know. Danny then reminds her that, even though she is 16 years old, she can also be charged as an adult and be arrested. Tom asks if Danny is using a scare tactic and Jackie takes out her handcuffs to add to the situation. Tom believes what is happening is outrageous, but Danny claims it is the law and that everyone at the party could be charged with possession of an illegal substance. Also, if Tom hadn't been away on business, Danny could've arrested him as well. Jackie asks if Caitlin wants to add anything more and she finally admits that someone at school sold him the drugs, but she still admits she doesn't know who. That's good enough for Danny as they head to St. Angelus Catholic School.
Danny and Jackie arrive at the school with Danny telling of his times at Catholic School when one of his teachers hit his knuckles with a ruler. Jackie boasts that she had won a Leadership Award four years in a row until she discovered boys. Danny questions Father Leo and Vice Principal Carol Hoffman. Father Leo declares that at St. Angelus nobody is dealing hard drugs unlike in the city. Vice Principal Hoffman asks if they have any idea who the dealer is and Jackie answers that they are trying to figure it out. Father Leo also admits that there had been a few incidents of marijuana and alcohol use, but Vice Principal Hoffman found out who it was and solved the issues by administering help. Danny asks to see any surveillance videos, but there aren't any because it is not in the school's budget and that the Lord sees everything. Jackie asks to talk to the students, but they would need parental permission. With there being so many students, it would take up too much time. Jackie asks if the school lockers could be searched with permission. Father Leo scoffs at this saying that it is an invasion of privacy. Danny reminds him that three kids are dead, and unless an epidemic is started, the lockers must be searched. Father Leo agrees with Danny, but he doesn't have the authority to sanction a search. Father Leo suggests that Danny go to Father Leo's superiors. Danny answers that Father Leo should talk to his higher power and he will do the same.
Frank goes to a church and, after leaving a donation, lighting a candle, and saying a prayer, he meets with Bishop Donovan and asks for permission to search the lockers at St. Angelus. Bishop Donovan warns Frank that giving permission to search the lockers has ramifications. Frank asks if those ramifications are more important than seeing more students die. Bishop Donovan claims there will be outrage by the parents of the students if they are all treated as suspects. Frank stresses that the police needs to find out who is manufacturing the drug and get it away from the students. Bishop Donovan suggests also that many parents will withdraw their children from the school forcing it to close down. Frank warns that he doesn't want to have get a court order to search the lockers. He also suggests that if that happens the church would look uncooperative. Frank also reminds Bishop Donovan that the church cannot afford to sweep another problem under the rug, referring to previous unnamed issues that the church previously had. Bishop Donovan reluctantly agrees and promises to call Father Leo. Frank thanks Bishop Donovan and leaves. At the school, the search reveals mostly bags of marijuana until the drug sniffing dog alerts Danny to a locker which holds two big bags of M-Cat belonging to a student named Wayne Foster. Danny goes into Wayne's algebra class and, when he makes an announcement as to who he is looking for, Wayne attempts to jump out the window. Danny puts Wayne in handcuffs as Jackie gets a phone call that two more people have overdosed.
At Danny's precinct, Danny interrogates Wayne by letting him know that he is facing three counts of criminally negligent homicide and multiple drug charges which would bring a lot of prison time. But Danny offers a way to help if Wayne helps get the drug off the streets by naming his supplier and anyone he sold the drugs to. Wayne admits that he had sold to Billy before, but not the time where Billy had overdosed. Danny asked who sold it to Billy in which Wayne replies that he doesn't know. Danny asks Wayne where he got the drugs to sell and Wayne admits he got them through the Internet on a site called Turbolist. Danny asks him to show him how it's done. Wayne shows him a listing that doubles as a code to buy drugs instead of a comic book that is listed. Danny has Wayne make an offer to purchase drugs to which he does. Jackie asks how long it would take for the seller to respond and almost immediately he does by answering cryptically. Wayne gives Danny a location as to where the drugs would be and at what time. Danny and Jackie head to a parcel post shop on a stakeout and he asks her if she has ever gotten high. Jackie admits that she did experiment a little when she dated a bass player in college, but nothing like the youth of the present day. A bike messenger arrives at the parcel post shop and Danny springs into action. They confront the messenger who has an envelope with Wayne's name on it and, when they ask the messenger where the envelope came from, he tells them it came from a local bike shop. Danny and Jackie approach the bike shop where there is a man waiting and, when he sees Danny approaching, he runs away. The man tries to run into traffic and avoid Danny, but ironically ends up running into a man on a bicycle. The man's name is David Carvell and, when he is returned to the bike shop in handcuffs, Jackie shows Danny a hidden drug lab in the back of the shop. David claims that his drugs are pure and the drugs he sells should be tested. Danny assures him that it will be and sends him away to be processed on drug charges.
At One Police Plaza, Frank is getting an update on his schedule and he sees the results of the drug test. At a bar, Jamie meets Danny and they start to celebrate solving the case with a beer when Jackie arrives with some news. The two overdoses that were called in when Wayne was arrested were not connected to the case. They died of a crystal meth overdose. The toxicity screen on the boys from the party showed that they had died from a lethal dose of potassium chloride. Jackie announces that potassium chloride is not used in recreational drugs. She further announces that the drugs seized at David's bike shop and the drugs that Wayne had did not have potassium chloride; therefore, David cannot be charged in the murders of the students at the party which puts Danny back at square one of the case. Danny asks, if David didn't use potassium chloride in the drugs, who did? Jackie suggests that Billy possibly did to give himself a better high. Jamie suggests that it could be somebody else who was looking to kill someone else. Jackie then suggests going back and talking to Alyson again. Danny agrees that it is a good idea when he gets a phone call saying that Alyson has been involved in an accident while she was out jogging.
Danny and Jackie arrive where Alyson is being treated by paramedics. Alyson went jogging to clear her head when a car came straight at her. She couldn't see the driver because the headlights blinded her. The driver of the car clipped Alyson and drove away. Jackie asks Alyson if she could make out the model of the car. Because it happened so fast, all Alyson could remember the car was medium sized, dark colored, and it may have had a bumper sticker of St. Angelus on it. Danny tells Alyson that she was deliberately poisoned from someone at school. He asks if she knows of anyone who might have reason to do so. Alyson names Caitlin as a possible suspect because she became angry that she and Billy had broken up. Alyson also tells Danny and Jackie that Caitlin has a journal full of bad things about her breakup with Billy and how much she hates Caitlin. Alyson further admits that she, Caitlin, and Billy all were in the same chemistry class where Alyson had seen Caitlin's journal.
At St. Angelus, Danny finds Caitlin's journal and Jackie finds a white powder in Caitlin's lab station. Jackie burns the white powder and finds out that it has potassium chloride in it when the powder turns violet. At Danny's precinct, Caitlin is being questioned again with Tom and a lawyer present. The lawyer argues that it is normal for teenage girls who get their heart broken to vent out in a journal and Caitlin admits that she loved Billy, but she would never really kill him. Jackie asks what about Alyson being with Billy. Caitlin admits that she no longer wanted Billy and that she had dumped him. Danny denies that statement. Caitlin tells Danny that Billy only wanted to get high with her and have sex which shocks Tom. Caitlin continues saying that Billy was pressuring her to do drugs with him, but she didn't want to because she felt that, if you were dating her, you wouldn't need them. She had also found out that Billy had been cheating on her which was enough to cause them to break up, but she didn't know who it was. Danny then switches the questioning to Alyson being run down with a car. Jackie asks where Caitlin was during the time of the accident and Tom immediately answers that she was at a pilates class. Caitlin admits that she did not go to her class and instead she was shopping. Danny asks for proof and Caitlin doesn't have any physical proof like a receipt, but she had been on Twitter while doing so. Danny announces that they would check out her alibi and ask her friends.
At the Reagan house at dinner, the family discusses how they used to keep the family away from drugs. Henry tells a story that he had Danny spend the night in a jail cell full of drunk people to scare them away from alcohol when they were both young. Jamie remembers that Frank did the same thing to him when he was eleven years old. Frank asks his grandson, Jack, how old he is. When Jack answers he is ten years old, the family groans at the table hinting that the same story may happen again. Nicky then announces that she feels that a lot of people believe drugs should be legal and uses medical marijuana in California as an example. Frank reminds the table that drugs are illegal in New York. Jamie agrees with Nicky which causes a debate between Jamie and Danny over the legalization of drugs at the table. Nicky adds that people should be able to what they want, but when Erin challenges her opinion, Nicky becomes offended and excuses herself from the table.
Frank goes after his granddaughter in the hallway and she apologizes for her behavior. Frank commends her for having some good points, but Nicky believes that her mother still treats her like a child. Frank reminds her that Nicky is not mad at her mother for having an opinion, but she had changed her mind about Nicky going into the city by herself. Nicky confesses that Erin doesn't talk to her much and that the night of the gala Erin cried the entire way to the Reagan house. Frank deduces that Erin was trying to be strong for her daughter as she had known how upset Nicky has been about her parents getting divorced. Frank asks Nicky if she knew what was happening the night of the gala. Nicky knew that Erin was becoming the president of the Children's Fund which Erin's mother had the same job before she had died. Frank suggests that Erin was thinking about how much she missed her mother. Nicky then suggests that Frank was doing the same thing to which he admits, but he also tells her that he was trying to be strong for his daughter as well. Frank tells Nicky that she and Erin need to look out for each other, understand each other and love each other. He then gives his granddaughter a kiss on the head.
The next morning at the precinct, Jackie confirms Caitlin's alibi that she was out shopping and she was nowhere near the scene of the accident. Danny asks that they go back to the school again to try and find the person who attacked Alyson twice and hope that the third time is not the charm they are looking for. As they return to the school, Father Leo confronts them and asks what they're doing there. He lets them know that concerned parents are asking questions. Danny tells him to let the parents know that he is trying to solve a triple homicide and a hit and run. Danny asks Father Leo if there is a dark sedan with a St. Angelus bumper sticker on it. Father Leo admits that a car like that could belong to anyone since the school has a large amount of the stickers available. Father Leo excuses himself as Danny checks out a dark sedan. He notices that there was a bumper sticker on the car which had been removed and the car had been recently washed. Jackie runs the plates on the car. On the front bumper he finds that some green paint had been scrubbed from the car. Jackie finds out that the car belongs to Vice Principal Hoffman.
Danny and Jackie run into the school and ask Father Leo about Vice Principal Hoffman. He tells them that the students admire her even though she handles disciplinary issues and handles disputes among the students. Jackie asks if there were any disputes with Billy. Father Leo answers that he was not aware of any issues and that Billy should have thanked Vice Principal Hoffman for not failing out of his sophomore year of school. Father Leo lets them know that Billy had issues in chemistry and that Vice Principal Hoffman tutored Billy in chemistry before she was promoted to Vice Principal. Danny and Jackie then go and talk to Vice Principal Hoffman. Danny asks if she in fact did teach Billy chemistry before she became Vice Principal to which she admits. Danny asks if Billy was a good student, Vice Principal Hoffman then said that Billy was an average student who did extra credit to pass. Danny then tells Vice Principal Hoffman that she should know where this line of questioning is going. Vice Principal Hoffman tries to leave to get Father Leo, but she is stopped. Jackie accuses her of hitting Alyson with the car and planting the potassium chloride in Caitlin's lab station, but Vice Principal Hoffman denies this. Danny then accuses her of having sex with Billy and, even though she attempts to deny it, Jackie makes her confess claiming that that mutually loved each other. Jackie then takes out her handcuffs and arrests her with three counts of murder and one count of attempted murder.
At One Police Plaza, Bishop Donovan meets with Frank over the case being solved. Bishop Donovan announces that he has been allowed to have a press conference stating that there will be no more issues being swept under the rug. Frank suggests that he would like to stand next to him at the press conference since he has helped out the family for many years to which Bishop Donovan happily agrees. At the Reagan house, Erin comes home after working late to find out that Frank, Henry, and Nicky have made all of Erin's favorite foods. Nicky proposes a toast to her grandmother and the four of them eat their meal together as Nicky says grace.
