***1/2

Warning: Spoilers
The last sentence of the last scene knocked by rating from **** to ***1/2.

Mayor Lorraine is very little and she is willing to go to bat for an officer who smoked weed in Colorado, where it's apparently legal, but against NYC regulations which would give Frank no alternative but to dismiss the former hero police officer.

Plenty of prejudice is shown here where skinheads are on the loose in a predominantly African American neighborhood and one of the crew stabbed an elderly black man to death while yelling monkey and that he doesn't need a Jew lawyer defending him. Naturally, Goldman, shows up during the episode as the appointed attorney for the bigot.

Eddie arrests someone who refused to come to her aid and it turns out that he had humiliated her years before in a hazing incident gone viral. Jamie pleads with her that the guy should only get a desk appearance ticket. She complies but later on, when he is viciously attacked in his bar, and Jamie and Eddie enter, he is bleeding profusely on the floor and while he is turned around, she gave him a good solid kick probably further injuring him. Is this New York's finest? Yes, it was disgusting what he did, and even with his so called apology, what she did was totally unprofessional.
