City councilman Wade (well played to the smarmy hilt by Walter Bobbie) gets on Furillo's (a terrific Daniel J. Travanti) case about s crack epidemic that's running rampant on the Hill. Grace Gardner (the delightful Barbara Babcock) resurfaces as a nun named Sister Chastity. Buntz (an outstanding Dennis Franz) finds himself in serious danger while attempting to bust ruthless shylock Falco (a frightening portrayal by Joseph G. Medalis).
It's a treat to see Gardner as a nun who's determined to spread hope, but yet still comes across as extremely sexy and thus stirs up lustful thoughts in Flaherty (likeable Robert Clohessy). It's also a hoot to watch Belker (a fine Bruce Weitz) work undercover at a restaurant in which he's forced to wear a goofy uniform. Alas, poor Jablonski (sturdy Robert Prosky) has heart issues that prevent him from resuming his career as a cop. Familiar character actor Don Calfa contributes a memorably scuzzy turn as sleazy drug pusher Armis. This episode concludes on a shocking note with Buntz having one of his fingers cut off by Falco.
