By Nicole

So the show starts off with Carlos in some sort of science class -- there are jars with dead animals floating in them, but the teacher seems to be talking chemistry. Maybe it's biochemistry. Like I really care. Anyway, the class ends, and Carlos walks up to the professor, who is Latino, and is all, "Como esta?" and the professor asks who he is. Ouch! Carlos asks him about the C+ he got for his lab assignment, and the professor tells Carlos that his notes were incomplete and his lab technique was sloppy. He then asks Carlos if he is pre-med and what med school he wants to go to. Carlos tells him he will go to anyplace that will accept him. The professor tells him he needs better grades, and Carlos tells the professor that that's why he came to talk to him. The professor totally sees through Carlos and asks if Carlos is asking for a better grade because they are both Latino. Carlos looks all sheepish, and the professor tells him that if he wants better grades he needs to do better work. Okay, when did Carlos turn Latino? Because the last we heard, he is Filipino. The only thing they share with Latinos is the sound of their names. Carlos, if you are going to try to pull out the race card to get yourself a better deal, make sure you are using the right race! Duh! And I'm not even going to go into how stupid it is to try to get better grades for having a certain color of skin. I won't get sucked in.

Bosco is in bed and stroking a pussy. Hey! Get that thought out of your head! I mean, he is petting a real cat, and Skanky Nicole comes in wearing nothing but a semi-open robe and a smile, and she has a bottle of champagne with her. Bosco tells her he is on duty in one hour so he can't have any champagne, and Nicole tells him it isn't for drinking. So, if he goes on duty at 3 p.m., that means the two of them are in bed at 2 p.m. Doesn't Nicole have a clothing store to run, or is she a student of the Donna and Kelly of school of retail management, closing her store whenever she doesn't feel like coming in to work? So anyway, Nicole pours some champagne on Bosco's chest and starts licking it up. I don't know about you guys, but that seems like alcohol abuse to me. Meanwhile, the cat is sitting on the side of the bed, flipping his tail and eyeing a glass of champagne as he stretches and yawns. I feel the same way, Kitty.

Doc and Morales are in Doc's father's apartment, going through paperwork in his desk and taking his clothes out of the closets. I'm assuming that his father died in the last episode, but it wasn't too clear until now since they are cleaning out his apartment. Morales asks him how much his dad paid in rent, and he tells her it was rent-controlled at $500 a month. He then tells her that with his father gone the rent will destabilize and he won't be able to afford the increase. She suggests that they move into the apartment together. Doc looks a little put out at the suggestion, and Morales gets a little put out that Doc is put out, and then Morales apologizes and leaves.

Bobby and Kim are in their ambulance, and Kim is complaining about the first few days of Daylight Savings Time always screwing her up because her clocks are wrong. Then she tells Bobby she is finishing up her taxes in the ambulance because they have to be postmarked by midnight. Okay, so tax day this year was April 17. Daylight Savings Time started April 2. It takes her more than two weeks to adjust to Daylight Savings? Lord help her if she flies out to California or something with a three-hour time difference -- it may take her half the year to adjust! So they get to an accident and there is a minivan that hit a truck, and there is a teenage girl with a cut on her head, and she is walking around and screaming. Bobby finds the mother and brother in the front seats, and Kim finds an empty child seat in the back. She asks the girl if there was a child in the car seat, and the girl tells Kim that her two-and-a-half-year-old sister Molly was in the seat. She let Molly out because she thought the van might explode and now Molly is gone, and the girl starts wigging out. Bobby keeps calling to Kim for help as Kim tries to calm down the girl.

Prozac has a very provocative commercial. There is a woman walking around with a "I just had good sex!" look on her face. If I could feel like I just had good sex all day, I'd love to have some Prozac.

Ty and Sully are in their car, and Ty tells Sully about an article on online dating, but Sully isn't interested. Ty decides he is going to put an ad on the Internet for Sully, and he takes out a pen and paper and asks Sully what he likes in a woman. Sully's not playing this game, so Ty makes suggestions, like, "Thirties, good looking, vivacious," and then asks if Sully likes kinky sex. Eeeeeeew! You would think, since it's been so long since Sully had a woman, that anything that doesn't include his hand or something blown up would be kinky. Sully doesn't say he likes kinky sex, but he doesn't say no either...ick. Pardon me while I make myself a strong drink.

While my blender is whipping up some mudslides, Ty and Sully walk into a church, and Sully realizes it is his parish and tells Ty sheepishly that he hasn't attended church in ten years. They talk to the priest, who recognizes Sully, and he tells them that a communion chalice was stolen by a man from a shelter, but the priest thinks he can get the guy to return it, so he doesn't need to police's help. As Sully and Ty are leaving, the priest tells Sully that he misses him in the choir. Ty starts to make fun of him. Oh, Ty, mama's boy, I'm sure there are some nerd-skeletons in your closet, so I wouldn't be making too much fun of Sully.

It looks like the whole precinct's worth of cops is standing around a map, and a guy is giving them a description of Molly, and then he tells the cops where to look for her.

Bosco and Yokas are still in their car waiting for some kids to come out, and Yokas suggest that they go ahead in so they can get the arrests done, and then they can go look for Molly. Some teenage boys come out of the house, and Bosco and Yokas debate whether to detain the boys or wait for "narcos." Bosco can't wait anymore, so he gets out of the car, and only then do the boys notice the large white police car with blue lights on top sitting right across the street from them, and they start running. They are too fast even for Bosco, and as he is coming back to the car to bitch at Yokas, Kenny points to the house because there is smoke pouring out. Yokas the comedian says that that can't be good. A second later, there is a huge explosion. D'oh!

Did you know that Staples trucks cause traffic? Because they do. Don't drive behind a Staples truck if you want to get somewhere fast.

Ty and Sully are hunting through garbage and dumpsters looking for Molly, and Ty asks Sully about being in the choir. Sully sort of changes the subject by telling Ty that the priest was always helping people in need, and Ty asks why Sully stopped going to church. Sully tells him "because they changed the communion wine." Yeah, I would stop going too, because if you can't get good wine at church, why the hell go in the first place?

The fire trucks are at the house fire, and Yokas, Bosco, and Kenny are standing outside, along with half the neighborhood that is trying to get a free buzz off the burning pot. Yokas lets Kenny go, but tells him she never wants to see him hanging around any schools again. So she just lets a drug dealer who was selling to kids wheel off? Was she high or something?

Carlos and Doc are in the ambulance, and they start talking about Vangie. Carlos thinks the pregnancy is her problem because she was in charge of the birth control. He saw her pills, and decided not to use protection. Okay, so Carlos is studying to become a doctor, and doesn't feel the need to use protection when sticking his penis into the vagina of a woman he has only known for a few hours? He should be wearing a sign that says "Please Give Me A Disease"! I would think pregnancy is the least of his problems. I shudder when I think about how some people are still so freaking ignorant. I shudder even more when I think some of them are studying to become doctors, and I may have to rely on them if I become ill. Excuse me while I make myself another drink. So anyway, Doc tells him, "They've got a name for guys as stupid as you. 'Dad.'" Amen, brother!

Doc and Carlos are in the ambulance, and Doc is in the back fiddling with medical supplies, and Carlos is sitting in the front doing homework. Doc tells Carlos he is the most narcissistic person he has ever met, and then he asks Carlos how he can study when he knows that Vangie is scared and pregnant. Carlos tells Doc to get his own house in order before telling other people what to do, and then brings up the "educated guess" fiasco. They get a call and Doc responds, and then he tells Carlos, "Every time I think I couldn't possibly have a lower opinion of you, something else pops up and I like you even less." Carlos calls him a smug bastard, and Doc tells Carlos he is ashamed to know him. Can you feel the love, people? I said, can you feel the love?

Bobby and Kim bring an old woman into the ER, and Kim asks Morales about the mother and boy from the minivan, and Morales tells them they will live, and the girl got some stitches in her head. Kim visits the girl, who is upset about her little sister still being missing. Kim tries to calm the girl down, and then she gets a call. She tells Bobby that after they finish this call they are going to search for Molly.

Sully and Ty go to a pawn shop, and Sully pounds on the door to get buzzed in. Sully asks the store owner about a communion chalice, and the guy starts laughing. Sully smashes his face into the counter top, and Ty is all surprised. You can almost see a little bubble over his head that says, "Hey! Smashing someone's face into a counter isn't in the police manual! Maybe I should call Internal Affairs..." Sully asks where the chalice is, and the guy tells him it's in the back. Sully asks if Willy brought the chalice in, and the guy tells him he did, and then Sully asks him where Willy is now. The guy tells him he doesn't know, so Sully throws him into the back wall and threatens to beat the shit out of him if the guy doesn't tell him where Willy is. The guy tells him that he thinks Willy stays at the Bowery Mission. Way to solve problems, Sully!

Sully and Ty walk into the mission and ask for Willy. A guy that works there tells them that Willy is signed in and he should be in the dining room. They go into the dining room and call for Willy, and Willy runs off. They chase him, but Willy gets away. Boy, Willy sure is slick! Sully is all, "Son of a bitch!" That's what I yelled out too! But that was because I had run out of booze and couldn't make any more drinks.

Monterey Ranch Chicken sandwiches from Wendy's make you laugh. At least that's what the commercial implies.

Bobby and Kim are driving around looking for Molly, and Kim tells him about a nightmare she has about losing Joey in a mall and no one helping her find him, and she hears yelling at the other end of the mall, but when she gets to where the yelling is coming from, there's a crowd standing around something or someone, but she can't see what it is. Creepy.

Bosco and Yokas are in their car looking for Molly, and Bosco is all, "I've been thinking," and Yokas says what we are all thinking, which is, "That's a first!" and Bosco tells her that he's been thinking about settling down and having kids, and Yokas is all, "With Nicole?" and Bosco is all, "Could be. You were right earlier about us not having a real relationship." Oh, okay. You know you don't have a real relationship with this woman, yet you want to settle down and have children with her? That will really strengthen the non-relationship you have now. Maybe Bosco should just stop thinking, because it obviously isn't working. Bosco then tells Yokas that he is going to invite Nicole to his mother's fiftieth birthday party. Why do I get the feeling Skanky Nicole is going to be just like his mother?

Sully and Ty are waking up sleeping homeless men looking for Willy, and Ty tells Sully that beating the guy up won't prove anything. Sully tells him he is upset that Willy hurt the only man who actually gave a crap about him, and it's their job to make sure that Willy doesn't hurt anyone again. You go with your bad problem-solving self, Sully.

Morales is doing paperwork and Doc comes in and asks how she is, and then he asks about the priest, and Morales is being all icy to him. Doc asks her what he did to upset her, and he then tells her that she caught him off-guard before and that he would like to live with her, but just not at his parents' place. Morales is happy again, and there is a puddle of water at her feet from the melting ice.

Bosco and Yokas are still looking for Molly, and they drive by a junior high during a dance. They see Kenny outside dealing to a kid, and they come over and take the drugs from the kid and Kenny. Yokas then rolls Kenny into the middle of an alley and dumps him out of his chair. She tells him to get his ass to the Port Authority, drops his wheelchair at the end of the alley, and then gets in the car and drives off.

Sully and Ty are in their car and they are searching for Willy. Ty sees something and gets out of the car. Sully thinks Ty saw Willy, but then he sees Molly in a park screaming and crying for her mother. Ty picks her up and tells her he's going to take her to her mommy. Sully gets all misty. Now, at first I got misty too, but then I realized that the little girl is too young to be able to actually ACT, so the screaming and crying and yelling for mommy must have been real, and it made me very sad that the director did that to a little girl, and very angry that some stage mother or father would let their child have a breakdown on camera for money.

Bobby and Kim are in the ambulance, and Kim is talking about Joey again and how upset she would be if she lost him. They see a bunch of cop cars drive by with their lights on, and apparently they had their sirens on too, because Closed Captioning said so, but I didn't hear them. Bobby and Kim think the cops may have found Molly, so they turn around and follow them.

Kim and Bobby are at the ER taking Molly out of the back of the ambulance, and there is a crowd of cops applauding. Ty tells Sully that Molly is okay and only needs a diaper change. Then Ty asks if they are going to keep searching for Willy, and Sully tells him they can start again tomorrow since Willy is probably drunk and passed out somewhere. Then he tells Ty that he stopped going to church the day Ty's father died, because he no longer believed in God. Ty tells him that if they can find that little girl, maybe there is a God. They get in their car and drive off as the screen fades to black.
