They soon get their first big case when Logan and Jessica accept a job from neighborhood grocery store owner Estella King (guest star Loretta Devine) to investigate the gang-related, drive-by shooting death of one of her nephew Greg's (Lee Thompson Young) closest friends. As they investigate, they soon cross paths of the Chicago Police Department's Major Crimes Unit detectives Carlos Perez (Benjamin Bratt), Lance Thomas (Alan Tudyk), and Louis Crosetti (Michael Imperioli), who is investigating the murder of a local politician, which happens to be linked to the Playa 9s, the same gang believed responsible for the drive-by shooting. As a result, the two sides are forced to work together to solve the case, and eventually find that the leader of the Playa 9s personally carried out both killings because of the men standing up to the gang's influence. With that, Logan and Jessica lead the charge to take down the Playa 9s, and the leader, Leon Davis (Michael K. Williams) is arrested for his crimes. For their assitance, the MCU commander, Lt. Duncan Wyler (Tom Wright), makes them and the agency offical consultant detectives.

Meanwhile, in the course of the case, the Fallons get a peek at the life of neighborhood kids in gangs, and other streets, as well as their families.

Dawn suggests they be taught martial arts, noting the discipline it had given her.

Davis is shown to be spoiled and possessive, and refuses to let his ex-girlfriend go no matter what, and uses his father's influence and lawyers to stay out fo trouble.

When Perez starts putting pressure on Davis and his friends, vowing to nail them for framing his nephew, Davis puts hits out on him and Ramon. As a result, Perez, his pregnant wife and his three children are attacked outside their home, but survive thanks to the interference of Logan and Jessica. Meanwhile, Ramon is attacked in jail by a thug paid by Davis, and despite being stabbed, manages to survive.

Forced to call Cross and the MCU for help, the team discovers that four of the eight prisoners are a bank robbery crew who pulled a job that resulted in $6.52 million being stolen (and never recovered). They theorize that the robbery crew plotted the breakout from the start, and recruited the other four prisoners (two gang bangers, a drug dealer, and a spree killer) as extra muscle, in return for a cut.

During this time, two of the crew members and two of the others leave to retrieve the money from where it's been stashed, while the others stay to guard the hostages. Logan, Bruce, Dawn, Perez and Crosetti head out to track the first group, while Jessica, Leroy, Jerry, Thomas, and Wyler keep tabs on the other group and the hostages.

No sooner does the first group find the money, than Logan's group ambushes and apprehends them, though not before one of them manages to alert the other group of what's happened.

When the conection is made between Sadie and Josh, and a knife with her bloody fingerprints is found near the scene, Sadie is arrested on suspicion of murder. Despite orders from Internal Affairs to stand down, Thomas refuses to believe his sister is a murderer, and turns to the team to help clear her name.

Their investigation reveals that Sadie had a blog in which she trashed the cheerleaders and the jocks of her college for their smug, better-than-anyone attitudes, causing her to gain many enemies. They also find, with help from M.E. Viola Stivers (Teri Hatcher) out that while no traces of a drug were found in Sadie (having metabolized before the police could test her), a search of her things reveals that traces of Zolpidem were found in a jar of peanut butter she had on her, indicating she'd been drugged to be raped.

After encountering (and clearing) some obstruction from Internal Affairs and some of the college jocks, the team concludes that the head cheerleader Kelsey Miller and the captain of the football team, Ryan St. George are responsible. Kelsey and Ryan decided to get revenge on Sadie for her blog. Kelsey had drugged Sadie's peanut butter, and Ryan attempted to rape her after that. However, Josh witnessed what was happening and tried to stop Ryan and was killed as a result. Ryan then placed the bloody knife in Sadie's hands to frame her for the crime, before he ane Kelsey ran. Showing this to the MCU, they move in and arrest Kelsey and Ryan, though not before the latter tries to flee and is caught and beat down by Logan and Det. Thomas.

Working with the MCU, they look into the pattern of his stalking habits and determine that it may very well be someone she knows. Despite having extra protection, the team and detectives are forced to deal with several close-call attempts on her life, including a shooting at her gala, a car bombing, and an assault on the street.

Eventually, it's revealed that her lawyer who is also her ex-boyfriend, is the stalker, having become obsessed with her during their relationship. When she rejects him, he snaps and nearly kills her in her own apartment, but is stopped by the arrival of the team. Knowing that he has control of her home's security system, they hack it with the help of a technician, and dupe him into thinking she's home for him to kill, allowing the detectives to arrest him once and for all.

Wyler turns up the heat on the investigation after his ex-partner is killed during one of the robberies, and an officer he trained is left clinging to life.

This results in them managing to arrest one of the robbers during another heist, who happens to be the ringleaders' brother. In retaliation, however, the leader has his men firebomb Wyler's home, endangering his family in the process. He also pulls drive-bys on Leroy's and Dawn's family's respective restaurants, and has several men break into Logan and Jessica's childhood home, hoping to intimidate them.

Upon speaking to Keith, they learn that his father was a professical race car driver and that Keith was hit hardest by his and his mom's sudden deaths and has taken up street racing to cope.

202 "Deadly Obsession"
As Logan and Jessica start to open the agency's office for business one day, they find a woman (Elizabeth Banks) inside waiting already. She clearly recognizes them and refers to them by name, introducing herself as Laura Royce. Neither of them recognize her, until she reveals her maiden name is Chester and that she went to the same elementary school as them and was in Logan's class, and the two of them were very close. Logan and Jessica finally recognize her and greet her with open arms. They then chat for a while and catch up on things (at which Laura reveals she's divorced with two children) before the rest of the team arrives to work, at which they ask why she's there and that it's not to catch up on old times.

Laura then reveals she's being stalked by Steve van Drew, an abusive and obsessed ex-boyfriend. She admits that she started dating Steve a little over a year earlier and it started out okay, but things soon turned sour when he started acting erratic and violent. When she broke it off with Steve four months before, he turned even more violent and threatened her and her children. He then started harassing her constantly (leaving messages, vandalizing her property, popping up everywhere she turned), and the police couldn't do anything effective enough since there was no solid proof and he hadn't actually harmed her or her children. Laura has become desperate for help, and asks the team for help before Steve can harm, or even worse, kill her and her children. When Steve shows up at her job, the team tries to intimidate him. This, however, causes him to take a shot with a shotgun at Laura at her house. As a result, Logan has her move into his and Jessica's home. They then meet her children: 9-year-old son, Owen (Cameron Bright), who is suspicious and slightly contemptuous of the Fallons (Logan in particular) and 6-year-old daughter Christina (Abigail Breslin), who embraces them with open arms.

After several more attempts to terrorize the Royces, the Fallon siblings send a taunting video message to Steve, challenging him to come face them like a man. Steve does just that during the night by breaking into their house, and is tricked into shooting at them, before being disarmed and engaging in a fight with Logan, who easily wins. Steve is then arrested by Det. Perez and Det. Crosetti.

The episode ends with the team celebrating at "L.G.'s", Owen accepting and admiring Logan, him and Christina becoming friends with Jesse and the rest of the team, and Logan agreeing to a date with Laura.

Later that evening, as the team and company volunteer in a soup kitchen that feeds the homeless, one of the patrons is attacked and brutally beaten by five masked men dressed all in black, with one videotaping it. A homeless girl witnesses the attack and runs inside for help, causing the men to retreat. Jerry and Dawn stay to help the man, while the rest of the team (Logan, Jessica, Bruce, and Leroy) go after the men, but lose them in a car chase.

The man is taken to a hospital, where he succumbs to his injuries, devastating the entire homeless community. Several homeless people ask the team to help them, revealing that this was just the most recent in a string off violent attacks against homeless people, and that the police either have no proof of who or just don't care to help. The Fallons and the others agree to help and even manage to get the MCU detectives to help out. In addition, they are aided by Ford Vickers (Adam Samberg) and Lisa Robbins (Sarah Michelle Gellar), two ace journalists and friends of Laura's who have been investigating the attacks.

Later, four of the boys set a homeless shelter on fire in order to kill the witness to their homicide beating, but the team manages to evacuate the everyone inside. They then set a trap with the help of Patrick (who felt things had gotten too out of hand and wanted out), and managed to quickly capture Perry, Leland, and Franklin. However, Gary escapes and heads back to his house to destroy the evidence against them, but is stopped by Logan and Bruce and, after a struggle in his pool, is subdued and taken into custody.

Molina, however, is tired of the corruption and decides he wants out, contacting Logan to talk to him. But when Molina meets with Logan, Jessica, Lt. Wyler, and reporters Ford and Lisa, he is shot and killed by Brooks, (under orders from Slaughter) who then flees, only to crash his car and be rushed to the hospital in the resulting chase.

Slaughter, fed up with the FPA, orders that Cross, the reporters, and Brooks be eliminated, while he searches for the stolen cocaine, which Molina had been safekeeping.

Despite having no witness or murder weapon, an ambitious D.A. decided to press for murder charges on Justin to make a name for himself.

After the team starts the investigation, the killer confronts both Justin and Diana (at the scene of the crime and their home), and starts to toy with and torment them in sadistic fashions, as part of a "game". He even shoots at Elaine's father and brothers (wounding the former), when they attempt to take the law into their own hands by killing Justin to avenge her. When Justin mentions that some traits and things about the man seemed to be from military training, Logan, Jessica, and Leroy realize the man is a coward in soldier's clothing. After comparing the composite the Boyers give them, they are able to come up with the name "Gerard Simms." Further investigation reveals even more stunning details about "Simms".

During this time, the three reveal what they know about "Simms": his real name is Fishton Geiger, a U.S. soldier who was escaped a Taiwaanese prison after being convicted of rape. He later joined a new unit and repeated his crime while serving in the Middle East, which some his fellow unit members witnessed and tried to tell their superiors. Not wanting to be court-martialed and potentially returned to prison, Geiger sold the unit out to their enemy, participated in torturing and killing them, and then deserted his post, returning to the U.S. under an alias. These revelations cause Geiger to hallucinate about his old unit mates, who "gun" him down and cause him to fall to his death.

When the team and MCU arrive, they attempt to diffuse the situation, and after doing so they discover, that the father recently won full custody of the children from his wife (though he gave her visitation), and now she and the children have vanished. Realizing that the mother may have kidnapped the children, the team then agrees to her sister to take the case.

After managing to talk the father down, the team and detectives start searching for the mother and the children, during which they learned that the ex-spouses' custody turned ugly early on, with both of them looking for full custody and trying to discredit each other at every turn. It is then that Jerry reveals that he has a 7-year old son, whom he has had limited contact with since getting into a similar battle with his ex-girlfriend, the boy's mother, and how he misses him everyday. After multiple close calls, the team and MCU catch up with the mother, just as she's about to leave the country with the children. However, the mother causes another standoff by pulling a gun, refusing to be separted from her children.

But after the killer's cover is blown and he is murdered, Jessica and Det. Perez, remembering that the man said that Blaine once made adult films, decides to track down one of the actresses, suspecting that she was underage at the time, which would finally allow Blaine to be brought to justice. But little do they know, an informant in Cross's office has keeping Blaine up to date on the team and MCU's moves.

Eventually, they find the actress, who has since left the adult film industry and settled down with a husband and children, but she refuses to testify out of fear for what it will do to her family and reputation.

Wyler find themselves and their teams being stonewalled by overzealous senior FBI agent Orville McCavoy (Stanley Tucci) who tries to have both the Fallon Protection Agency and the Major Crimes Unit pulled off the case.

They discover that the killer is a hardcore assassin named Grady Quinn (Gary Busey), who disappeared and was presumed dead after getting caught in an explosion 15 years earlier. However, when the three sides raid his hideout, they realize almost too late that it's a trap and the resulting explosion kills Agent McCavoy and three others, and leaves Leroy injured.

Logan and Jessica, knowing what Quinn (who has strapped an armed bomb to himself) is going through, try to talk him down, while everyone else tries to sneak the hostages out.

However, just as they move in for the arrest, Duncan pulls a second gun and causes a gas explosion with it that kills him.

Meanwhile, Logan and Bruce do some extra martial arts training with Owen and Jesse after they get into a skirmish with a gang of bullies, Perez and Det.

303 "Neighborhood Watch"
The Fallons are hired by Wilma Young, a widowed African-American mother of three, whose oldest child Royce (Sheldon Turnipseed) was apparently killed by an all-white neighborhood watch group. While the local precinct intially believes that Royce's death was accidental as well as suspect him to be in on a burglary the night he died, his mother, brother DelRoy (Marcus T. Paulk) and sister Tosha (Parker McKenna Posey) refuse to believe this and believe that Royce was murdered by the watch group, as do Logan and Jessica when they try (and fail) to get their side of what happened.

As the team investigates, they start to notice division in the watch group, and seek to use this to their advantage by uncovering some deep hidden secrets of the group members and taunting them with the knowledge. Frustrated about the agency team's snooping, one of the members, Irving Smith goes to the Young's residence to try to convince Wilma to drop the investigation. When she refuses, he becomes violent and attacks her and Tosha, forcing her to kill him in self-defence with a kitchen knife, for which she is arrested. Despite accounts from Tosha and a next-door neighbor who saw the entire scene from across the way, the police believe the killing was retaliation, and look to charge Wilma with murder, and DelRoy, having finally had enough with the injustice against his family, decides to buy a gun off the streets and take the law into his own hands, though Logan and Jessica are able to stop him and convince him to stand down, using their own bloodhunt against their family's killers as a example of why he shouldn't go after the group.

Afterwards, three of the watch members (Alvin Walters, John Cox, and Terry O'Blair) meet with the agency team (after some convincing from Leroy and Dawn to do the right thing) and tell them the truth: they had seen Royce walking in the area that the burglary took place not long after the security alarm sounded. They had assumed he was involved and Irving and the other two members (Dirk McGillis and Frank Bolton) attacked and chased him down. Royce ran, was soon cornered in a factory and then tripped and fell into a metal-floor pit, dying on impact.

As this happens, Dirk and Frank, not wanting to be exposed, try to assassinate the others. They refuse to listen to their friend's attempts to talk them down and soon, Logan and Jessica are forced to shoot them both dead. Afterwards, Alvin, John, and Terry turn themselves in to the police, and the Young family begins the path to recovery.

Wyler, to take on calls that the uniformed officers usually do. The Fallons and the team decide to drop in and help the detectives, but their progress is hampered when a serial sniper strikes the area, killing several innocent people before vanishing. After investigating a radical freedom's group and getting caught several more shootings, the team and detectives set up a stakeout, which seemingly goes wrong, when Detective Weston shoots and kills what appears to be a window washer holding a rifle–only for no rifle to be found when the detectives investigate.

With Weston on desk duty due to the shooting, and another sniper assault occuring, the team and MCU reach a dead end–until they go to re-question the freedom's group's founder and discover him dead with a booby trap (which they narrowly avoid) and Weston pulls up information that links the founder to the window washer through the latter's juvie records, which also impliates Burke Jensen, an ultra-radical member as the primary sniper in the shootings (and who stole the gun after the washer was shot) and founder's death. Both groups attempt to corner Jensen in an elevator in a building, but Jensen comes out shooting and is finally killed after an extensive shootout. With that, the case is closed and Weston returns to the field.

Debbie comes to the team after Paddy, one of the gang is hit and killed by a car in a panic about being caught while the others were chasing him to try to calm him down. Logan and Jessica talk to Corey's single mother who refuses to believe them at first, but is brought to light after discovering most of Corey's "cut" of the stolen goods in the basement, and more in the possession of her younger son Jackson, and daughter Emily, Corey having given it to them as gifts under the pretense that he'd bought it himself.

When confronted, Corey refuses to give a straight answer and snaps at his mother, who then reports back to the FPA at L.G. Bar & Grill. The team suggests that tell Jackson and Emily the truth about Corey, turn all the stolen stuff over to them to give to the police, and issue Corey an ultimatum: confess to the police and own up to his crimes or pack up and get out.

The team continues to look for evidence to incriminate Lars and his brainwashed female accomplice Opal Keefer (who is more compassionate than him), but that soon proves difficult when Lars discovers someone is onto them, and takes a shot at Jerry and Dawn, and later threatens Debbie and her family to force them to back off. Later, Corey then has a confrontation with his mother and siblings, with the latter of whom issuing the ultimatum. When Corey decides to leave, the FPA takes matters into their own hands, captures him and tells him of Lars' true persona, criminal record, and threats against Debbie. Corey then agrees to set up a sting to catch the gang and bring them to their hideout, where with Corey's help, the FPA members trick Lars into revealing his true colors. Lars makes a run for it, taking Opal hostage only to be brought down by a shuriken to the shoulder.

However, inspite of their efforts, the investigators seem to be a step ahead on every move, and soon suspect a mole in their ranks.

403 "Lake of Inferno"

The FPA is called in for a special job by the principal of a school infested with gangs, drugs, and violence, and ruled over by a gang called the King Devils. The call comes after six of the gang members harass and corner Amy Quesada a 15-year-old freshman student in the boy's locker room, where five of them then rape her (the sixth decides he can't go through with it) and later on non-fatally stab sophmore student Nick Angelli who alerted the staff to the rape.

Upon observing the King Devils members, Logan, Jessica, and the others determine that while some of them are hardened gang members, most of them are misguided and scared kids who were forced to join the gang. They also discover that the higher-up King Devils are in-league with Kaleb Locke, a local drug lord who intends to take over the community. Together with the help of the their friends from the MCU and Vice Squad, they (with the principal's permission) start by searching lockers of the King Devils and other students, from which they confiscate over 50 weapons (nearly half of which are fully automatic firearms). Logan and Jessica then take up teaching roles for a "special class" for the King Devils, teaching the subject of death, and everything about it. This includes, taking them on field trips to a police precients, a prison, and Dr. Foxworth's mortuary to review live autopsies. This stirs much uneasiness in many of the gang members, though the leader insists that after death is nothing, prompting Li and Leroy to have an ex-hitman tell his own chilling story of his own near-death experience, and how he found himself on the bank of a "lake of inferno" before being revived.

Later that evening, the gang leader, Toro Ayala confides in Locke about the FPA's activities, and he opts to promise that he will help lead the Fallons into a trap, while also mentioning a deal that will enable him to seize control of the community. Meanwhile, the Fallons and company find themselves in lock with school board members who believe their methods of stopping the King Devils are inappropriate. The principal and teachers, however, back them up, citing that the board's previous programs were ineffective, and all agree that the only way to open the students eyes is to show them the harsh realities of the situation. Logan and Jessica then get a call from Toro saying her wants to reach a deal. Knowing it's a trap, they go in alone and unarmed, and Leroy and Bruce disarm and replace the sniper Locke sent for them. Toro pulls a gun on the two and the principal (who followed them) and threatens to shoot them, but Chris Delgado, Toro's friend stops him and wrestles the gun away. Toro then threatens that if arrested, Locke will quickly bail them out, and then come after them. Logan, however, grabs and restrains Toro, and he, Jessica, Leroy, and Bruce lead the principal and the gang to Locke's residence, where the MCU and Vice Squad have raided the place and killed Locke and his men in a shootout. Toro is forced to look at his mentor's dead body, and realizes his and his friends' one free link is now gone.

With that settled, Logan then calls forth for someone to identify Amy's rapists. Despite Toro's threats, Amy (having regained her courage) ID's him and the other four and also the one who refused to take part, and both agree to tesitify, as does Delgado, who also IDs and agrees to testify against Toro and two of the other rapists who stabbed Nick.

Witnesses point out to a homeless vagrant previously seen loitering around the area to have committed the crime, which the police immediately start searching. The vagrant holes up in the neighborhood's community center (where Laura, Helen, Lynn and their children are helping with volunteer work), and based on some of his rambling dialogue, Logan deduces that the man is an ex-military veteran. He, Jessica, Leroy, and Bruce then enter the center and try to communicate with the man, who identifies himself as Garrett Craig (Muse Watson), a highly-trained and AWOL career Air Force Technical Sergeant who'd gone off the grid seven years earlier in Sudan after killing someone he believed was stalking his family. Just as they're able to talk Craig down, a police sniper wounds him against Capt. Wyler's orders.

At the hospital, A.D.A. Cross reluctantly charges Craig with the murders of the three robbers (the clerk having been killed by one of them). It seems like an open-shut case, security footage reveals there may have been witnesses to the whole attempted robbery. But when questioned, Craig reveals that the witnesses are actually his sons Coby and Hayden, and refuses to allow them to testify.

Nate Granger used underhanded tactics to undermine Craig and his JAG lawyer Arthur Robardson (Mark Harmon) (who also represented Logan and Jessica at their trial). Eventually, Craig relents for his sons to take the stand, but Granger uses his underhanded tactics to try to pick at their testimony, causing Craig to put him in a chokehold.

Eventually, to avoid having to put the boys on the stand again, Logan and Jessica get Robardson to put a new perspective on the jury of a father trying to protect his boys, resulting in Craig getting acquitted of all counts, being allowed to keep most of his military benefits (provided he get counseling), and reconcile with his family.

However, on the way home after one of Brock's lessons, MaryAnn accidentally cuts off another driver, angering him to the point that he follows and rams her out of road rage. Samantha then makes a rude face and gesture at the man, further infuriating him and causing him to ram them even more, causing MaryAnn to resort to desperate moves to get away which she succeeds in doing. Later that night, MaryAnn hears someone breaking into their house, and upon investigating, is attacked, beaten, and raped in the kitchen. Samantha hears the commotion, goes downstairs to investigate, and sees the rapist as he finishes on her mother. The rapist sees Samantha, grabs her as she tries to run, and beats and rapes her in the living room. Brock then hears the rapist leave, and upon coming downstairs, finds his mother and sister and calls 911.

Soon enough, the Fallons, A.D.A. Cross, and Rose visit and convince them that the best way to deal with their ordeal is to stand up and fight back. With their encouragement, Brock returns to his martial arts classes, and MaryAnn and Samantha even join him, and with time, they overcome their trauma together.

However, Ranchell uses his connections to have the DNA test tainted, setting the results back for weeks, and then uses his request for a speedy trial to push forth. With that, only MaryAnn and Samantha's testimony can send him away, causing the FPA to suspect that he may come after them and stay guard at the Stevens house.

Sure enough, one night, Ranchell breaks in with a small group of men, intent on eliminating the Stevens'. However, the FPA and MCU have been waiting for them, and engage in a brawl with the hired hands (which they win).

After doing so and securing the room with the hostages, Logan faces off with the leader of the robber in a brutal hand-to-hand fight, in which Logan wins just as the police and FBI burst in and arrest the gang of robbers. As the leader is being cuffed, he tries to grab one of the officer's guns in a last attempt to kill Logan, only to be shot dead by him, Jessica, Perez, and Thomas.

The wounded are treated at the scene, sans the leader's brother (who dies en route to the hospital) and Laura is taken to he hospital where she gives birth to her and Logan's first child together: a boy whom they name Logan Jacob Nicholas Fallon Jr., or LJ for short (at which Downing quips jokingly, "That just what the world needs: another Logan Fallon!")

512 "First Degree"

The FPA helps the MCU conduct a raid on a warehouse owned by Jamison Lyle, an laser tag/arcade owner who hooks young kids and teens into participating in robberies. During the raid, Lyle shoots and kills a veteran C.P.D. officer, then wipes the prints off the gun and puts it in the hand of 16-year-old Avery Simmons (special guest star Bow Wow), an innocent teen on his first job. Avery not wanting to go down for a cop's murder, runs, evading cops along the way, until he reaches his neightborhood and hides in the home of a friend–who turns out to be Jesse Ridgeway. He simply tells Jesse to keep the gun hidden for a while, until he can sort things out. The next day, Lyle (having been told by Avery) where the gun was, forces Jesse to meet with him, and warns him that if he says anything to anyone about the gun, his mother will be killed.

Unfortunately, as both the FPA and MCU teams investigate the officer's murder, Helen finds the gun in Jesse's room, and turns it over to them. When ballistics confirm the gun was used in the murder, Logan and Jessica try to question him, but he refuses to answer and flees. He then meets up with Avery but the two are soon accosted by some of Lyle's loyal followers, but Logan, Jessica, Bruce, Perez, and O'Connell intevene and take all of them (except Avery, who manages to slip away in for questioning).

Jesse, still scared for his mother's safety, refuses to talk, especially after Lyle finds out and has his men threaten him in jail. Logan and Jessica continue to insist of his innocence, but eveyone is thrown for a loop when Jesse shockingly confesses to the murder (after Lyle kidnaps Helen, and then has his lawyer Parker Anderson (Michael Ironside), help him force Jesse to take the rap for the crime under the threat of killing his mother). However, Avery, guilty over bringing Jesse into this mess, comes to the MCU and admits the truth at last. The detectives and the FPA go to release Jesse, saving him just in time from being killed by Lyle's followers under his orders. Jesse tells them about the meeting with Anderson, and points out about a picture he saw of his mother in the back room of the arcade Lyle owns. With that, both teams raid the arcade, rescue Helen, and arrest Lyle and his loyal men, and later arrest Anderson at an awards ceremony for him. A.D.A.

However the accountant's wife mistakenly calls her mother to let her know they are alright (despite being warned earlier not to), alerting the mob boss to the safe house's location.

Not long afterwards, the shooter is found dead, and several days later, the FPA's offices are trashed and someone attempts to firebomb the Fallon family home. Though everyone knows that Chico is behind everything, neither Wyler nor Cross can get the courts or the CPD higher-ups to take action due to lack of evidence and witnesses.

As the FPA and MCU arrive to arrest Chico's men, Chico stands off against the two who have their guns raised to him. He then lowers his weapon, boasting about how he's gonna get off for this again, and that while he'll be free, O'Connell and Rose will likely lose their jobs and freedoms. He also warns them that they wouldn't dare do anything to harm him, lest they wish to feel the wrath of his mafia family from New York.
