So the show starts off with Bobby walking into Kim's room, and he is naked. From the view of the mirror, you can see Bobby's ass as he climbs back into bed with Kim. Woo! Sweeps ass shot! So I guess we can assume that this is supposed to be the "day," after the two of them started getting it on at the end of the last episode. Except, the last episode was about what happened a week ago, so we are we supposed to think that they've been in bed for a week? And where was Joey? I would think he would be a little freaked out if he found Bobby naked in his mommy's bed. You ever notice that in some shows, as soon as the adults want to get it on, the kids suddenly disappear? So as we go back into a time warp, Bobby kisses Kim and tells her it is the happiest day of his life, and then they start making out. He stops long enough to tell Kim that he has been in love with her for as long as he could remember, and then he dives under the sheets to give his woman some more lovin'. I think we can all see where this story is going.
Bosco and Yokas are in their car, and Bosco asks Yokas for advice on a Valentine's Day gift for Skanky Nicole. Yokas gives him the typical suggestions like jewelry or perfume, but Bosco doesn't like them, so she suggests that he do something romantic like what Fred did when they were dating -- dinner at a little Italian restaurant, candles, violin players, a little box of chocolates. As Yokas is reminiscing, they get a call about shots being fired. As they drive to the shooting, Bosco tells her that Nicole isn't romantic, that she only wants to have sex, and that once in a while he would just like to sit around and talk. Yeah, because he is such a smooth talker. If women just sat around and talked to Bosco, he would end up getting smacked upside the head every night and would never get laid again. So they arrive at a church where a wedding was going on. A priest tells them that someone walked in during the ceremony and started firing and then ran off down the street. Bosco runs down the street to see if he can catch the guy while Yokas follows in the car. Yokas gets down the street and some guy on the sidewalk tells him that a man ran into a warehouse. Bosco goes in, but all he finds is Yokas.
Doc and Carlos are in the church working on the shooting victims and Ty and Sully are walking around. Bosco and Yokas walk in, and Sully asks them if they got the shooter. When they tell him they didn't find the guy, Sully tells them the "wedding party got shot up. Four wounded, one dead." He points to the groom, who is dead, and Yokas asks where the bride is. Sully points to the man Doc and Carlos are working on, and Bosco is all, "The bride's a guy?!" and Sully is all, "Welcome to the new millennium."

Go see the movie Pitch Black. It is scary.
The priest tells the cops that he was performing the ceremony when a man came in and started shooting. Sully and Bosco ask the priest if he saw the shooter, but the priest keeps telling them it was a hate crime. Bosco suggests that it may have been "a jealous lover with bad aim." Why isn't Bosco a detective? He's a regular Sherlock Holmes. Not. The priest also gets pissed off and tells them that just because the couple was gay, it doesn't mean it is all about sex. The priest tells them that his is one of only a few parishes that perform same-sex marriages, and he gets tons of hate mail and nasty things written on his church. Sully apologizes for what Bosco implied and tells the priest that a detective will be there shortly to help with the investigation. The priest doesn't really think they are working very hard to help, and walks away. Sully is all, "Nice way to interact with the community." Bosco thinks "their kind" is always over-dramatic. Not like you've overacted over anything, Bosco. Oh, wait. You have. Many times. Pot and kettle, much? So Yokas tells them she got a description of the shooter; he is a white man with dark hair, wearing a brown jacket. Ty tells them someone told him it was a hunting jacket. It's huntin' season!
Kim and Bobby are in the ambulance. Kim asks if he heard anything from his brother that morning. Kim, you were with him all morning -- did you ignore him all day except for the times he was laying pipe? Then they talk about his brother some more, but it really doesn't matter, because we probably aren't going to hear about Matt ever again. Bobby gives Kim a silly Valentine's Day card and she thinks it is cute -- just like a card Joey would get her. Bobby tells her it was the only one he could find on such short notice. I guess he was just too busy lying naked in Kim's bed for the last week. Bobby then invites Kim to go to Vermont with him and some friends that weekend. Kim pulls out the child card, telling Bobby she has Joey that weekend, but maybe she'll go. She has an "oh, God, what have I gotten myself into?" look on her face.
Sully and Ty are leaving a convenience store with some coffee and snacks, and Sully is complaining about the way the priest was acting like they weren't doing their jobs. It probably would have helped if Bosco had kept his big mouth shut; Sully should be complaining about how Bosco makes everyone around him look bad. Ty sees two homegirls walking around their Lexus because they got a flat tire. Ty pops a tiny boner and makes Sully go over with him to see if they can help the girls. Hey Ty, remember, you have a girlfriend! For some reason, the homegirls don't want help and Sully figures out that the car is stolen. The girls start to argue over who stole the car.
Doc wheels around an empty stretcher down the hall of the ER, and Morales walks with him and they start talking softly and calmly, asking each other how their days are going. She tells him she wants to kiss him but they're not alone, and she hopes he wants to kiss her too. He tells her he does. She starts speaking louder and tells him it was nice talking to him and she'll see him on his run and then she walks away, and Doc smiles. It was a really cute scene between the two of them.
Sully and Ty are at their desks filling out paperwork and the two homegirls are sitting to their desks. Homegirl #1 tells Sully that Homegirl #2 told her to steal the car and drive it since Homegirl #2 doesn't have a license. Sully decides to charge Homegirl #1 with GL3, and Homegirl #2 gets Unauthorized Use. Ty gets bent out of shape and says that they both need to be charged with GL3. They argue for a few minutes, and then Sully gives in. Homegirl #2, who we now find out is named Tisha, asks Ty to do her a favor and call her little brother and tell him he needs to stay with his aunt since she'll be gone for a while. Ty asks for his name, and wouldn't you know it, it's Malcolm Lewis. I guess that bookie didn't kill Malcolm after all, like Malcolm told Ty he would.
Doc and Carlos are in their ambulance, and Doc asks Carlos if he is still mad at him about Morales. Carlos tells him he isn't mad anymore, and then Doc tells him he has had "physical relations" with her. Carlos laughs and is all "physical relations? Like arm wrestling?" and Doc is all annoyed and says "like sex" and Carlos is all, "Well, I should hope so! The woman gives me enough wood to build a boat!" Oh, so because Carlos can't keep his penis down, he assumes that Morales would just spread her legs for any man she is interested in. Nice way to respect women, Carlos. That attitude has gotten you laid how many times? Yeah, that's what I thought. So then Carlos tells Doc he has been trying to get him interested in any woman not his dead wife, so he is happy for him and is cool with it. Like Doc needed Carlos's acceptance to go on with the relationship. Whatever.
Bosco and Yokas come to a bus stop that a car drove into. Bobby and Kim called them specifically because it was Fred who was driving. Fred tells Yokas that he had a few beers with the guys after work. From the way he is talking, it sounds like he drank a few kegs of beer with the guys. Yokas asks Bosco to give Fred a sobriety test, but Bosco refuses -- he thinks Yokas should just take him home to sleep it off. Yokas decides to give Fred the test herself, and Fred fails miserably. Yokas gets very upset and cuffs Fred and arrests him. Bosco is all annoyed and asks why she's doing this, and she tells him that Fred was on his way to pick up the kids from after-school. Damn. Good thing he didn't get to the kids first.
A commercial for the MSN project -- a group of people live in an empty house, and they have to furnish it and live there for a period of time, and they can only buy things off the Internet. Oh, how original. Not. Good Morning America has done this "project" twice since December.
Doc and Carlos arrive at a scene where a bus hit a woman, and the woman is lying face down in the middle of the street. They flip the woman over, and Carlos talks to her to see if she is conscious. The woman wakes up and looks at Carlos and asks if he is an angel. She tells them she heard someone call her name across the street so she went to cross the street and got in front of the bus. She thought she was dead, and then she opened her eyes and saw Carlos, her angel. Carlos thinks she has a concussion. I think she has brain damage.
Bosco and Yokas are at her home with her kids and Yokas is calling a babysitter. She tells the kids that the sitter will come over soon and that their dad won't be home for a while. Bosco tells her she should cut Fred some slack, and Yokas tells him about her oqn alcoholic father and that she doesn't want that kind of life for her kids. Fred could have gotten help but he refuses, and then she tells Bosco, "There are no victims, only volunteers."
Ty and Sully drive to Malcolm's apartment building, and Ty goes into the building and knocks on the door of Malcolm's apartment. Malcolm is not pleased to see him, and Ty tells him about his sister and that he needs to go to his aunt's place. He tells Ty that his aunt lives in Pittsburgh, and that his sister is all he's got. How are you going to solve this problem, Ty?
Bosco and Yokas are at the precinct house, and Bosco asks her if he should get Nicole some skimpy lingerie. Yokas tells him that's a gift for Bosco, not for Nicole, and she isn't in the mood to talk about stuff like that anyway. The lieutenant stops them and tells them to go to another gay shooting. Boy, that jealous gay lover sure does get around, huh Bosco?
Ty and Sully walk into Maggie's living room, where Maggie is sitting and reading a book. Maggie asks them why they are there, and Ty brings in Malcolm and asks Maggie to keep him for a while. Maggie is not pleased. Sully says, "Bad to worse." Apparently, Sully hasn't taught Ty very good problem-solving skills. Sully tells Maggie about the situation and then asks for her help. Ty asks if Malcolm can stay one night, two nights at the most. Maggie just has this "boy, you owe me big time!" look on her face.
Bosco and Yokas are at a bar, and the only detective (it seems) in their precinct is there too; he tells them that the people there were getting ready for a "fag mixer" when a man matching the shooter's description came in and fired on them. At this point, a large bald ethnic man with a goatee and a rubber tank top and his posse come over to them, and the guy calls Bosco "girlfriend" (hee hee!) and asks them what the police are doing about the situation, and Bosco tells him they are working on it and tells him he needs to wait. The guy starts to get in Bosco's face, and the priest comes over from out of nowhere and tells Roberto to leave. The detective is all, "What's Gorgeous George's problem?" and the priest tells them that Roberto is a member of Fight Back, and then the priest tells them that if Fight Back gets involved, it is the police's fault for not doing enough, and he pulls a Morales again and has the last word and walks off. Is there really a group called Fight Back? And does it really consist of large muscular ethnic gay men? I would really like to know. ["I just checked the Manhattan telephone directory, and I didn't see anything called Fight Back. It's probably a fictionalized version of Act Up or something." -- Sars] The detective tells Bosco and Yokas, "If the queers don't want to get shot, they ought to live like real men!" and Bosco is nodding his head in agreement. Yokas is disgusted and tells the detective, "Just because you've got a lot of crap to say doesn't mean I want to hear it." And she leaves.
Kim and Jimmy are at the station, and Kim asks him if she can talk to him, and if he can be objective. She tells him that she and Bobby slept together and she doesn't know if it's going to work. She tells him Bobby is in love with her and she doesn't know how to tell him they're going too fast. Jimmy acts all disgusted that Kim would sleep with Bobby, of all people, and asks her what she was thinking. Pity, maybe? Then Jimmy asks her if she's trying to get back at him for his sleeping around. Yeah, Jimmy, it's all about you. You are the center of Kim's universe. I think Jimmy's inhaled a little too much smoke. Jimmy gets a call about a fire and leaves, and Kim says to herself, "Thanks, as always, for being there for me." What did she think he was going to do, be sympathetic to her? She boinked her partner, who also works with her ex-husband, and she thinks she can get an objective response from the ex? She needs to go put on an oxygen mask and get some more O2 to her brain.
The Toyota Corolla is now powerful enough to squish bugs.
Carlos and Doc are leaving a convenience store, and Carlos tells Doc that he is annoyed that, in this day and age, there is still racism and bigotry. Doc is annoyed that people lump being gay and being black together as being mistreated the same way. They argue about it, blah blah blah slaves, civil rights, sexual orientation, options on sexual orientation versus skin color, struggle not to get killed for being who you are.
Bosco and Yokas bring in a wife beater (a person, not the shirt) to the precinct, and the beater calls Yokas a bitch. Bosco slams him into a wall before putting him into a jail cell. Fred is in another cell, calling out to Yokas, but she ignores him.
Ty and Sully are talking about Ty amending the arrest report to say Tisha was just riding along, because they can't find Malcolm's aunt and Ty wants to let Tisha go. An assistant DA overhears them and comes over to talk to them. Sully leaves, and the DA asks Ty if he knows about the illegality of altering an arrest report. Ty tells her he is modifying it, and tells her that Sully originally wanted to arrest Tisha for Unauthorized Use, and he has come upon more evidence to make him change his mind and agree with Sully. The ADA asks him what the evidence is, and Ty tells her that Tisha has a little brother to take care of. She tells Ty that that isn't evidence, so Ty tells her that Tisha wasn't driving but he pushed for a GL3, and now he is unpushing it. Oh, yeah, that's logical. Why do I think Ty is going to make this bad situation even worse? But we probably won't know, because we still haven't learned what happened to Sully after the time he and Ty gave conflicting reports about someone shooting at them and maybe arresting the wrong person. Remember that storyline? No, neither do the writers.
Doc and Carlos are in their ambulance, and Carlos asks Doc if he thinks that the girl who was hit by the bus was good-looking. Doc tells him he wasn't looking at her that way, since he is now seeing Morales. Carlos can't believe that Doc doesn't look at other women now that he is with someone, and tells Doc, "You would drive monks crazy!" Huh? How? I would think Carlos would drive monks crazy trying to figure out what half the things he says mean. They get a call.
Bosco and Yokas are at the bar/restaurant getting dinner from the buffet, and Bosco is complaining that "their kind" should know better than to go to a gay party when they know there is someone out there shooting gays. Yokas is disgusted with him some more, and tells him everyone has the right to do whatever they want to without having to dodge bullets. Bosco's reply is, "No victims, only volunteers." Yokas looks like she is about to lunge over the table and throttle Bosco as she says, "That's the most bigoted thing I've ever heard, even from you." Bosco retorts with, "I call a spade a spade." Yokas tells him what the world is thinking: "Yeah, that's your problem." Is this the way cops cope with emotional situations? Because some people posted on the forums that cops say bigoted things so that they can cope with certain situations. Personally, I think people like Bosco should burn in hell. But that's just my opinion.
Doc and Carlos get to a scene where members of Fight Back are beating up some guy with a brown coat on. Doc breaks them up, and Roberto tells him they found the gay shooter. The beat-up guy tells them that he is not the shooter, and that he himself is gay. Sully and Ty arrive and ask what happened. Roberto tells them that they just wanted to ask the guy some questions and he started swinging at them. Oh yeah, this little guy just wanted to start a fight with a gang of big muscular men. Uh huh. Sure. Roberto then tells them that they are trying to catch the shooter themselves because no one else is helping. Sully asks Roberto if he thinks that if beats up everyone, they'll eventually get the right man. Ty asks the guy if he wants to press charges, because we all know how much Ty likes to do paperwork, but the guy just wants the Fight Back guys to leave him alone. Sully suggests to the group that they get off the street, and Roberto tells Sully that if Sully does his job, he'll get off the street. Roberto is expecting Sully to act all hurt, but instead Sully is all, "It's a deal." Now what, Roberto?
Jimmy finds Kim in the kitchen of the station and apologizes for not listening to her before. She acts all annoyed at him, and he tells her he is jealous about hearing that she was with someone else, and then he asks her what she's going to do about Bobby. She tells him she doesn't know, and he suggests that she tell Bobby the truth, and then he walks off. Kim twirls her hair and thinks real hard.
Ty is at the precinct waiting for Tisha as she is released, and he asks her if he can talk to her. She wants to know if, since Ty got her released, he wants to get in her pants now. He tells her he doesn't, and then she acts all offended that he isn't interested in her. Jeez, Tisha -- mixed signals, much? Ty tells her that he did it for Malcolm, and then he tells her that she needs to be more responsible. Like you, Ty, who just drops the kid off at your mother's place so she can take care of him? Yeah, take on those responsibilities, Ty. Show her how it's done.
Yokas and Bosco are driving to another shooting scene, and this time there is a group of people outside a gay club. An off-duty officer is standing over a shooting victim and the people tell Yokas and Bosco that the off-duty officer shot the shooter, but the guy ran off and a group of men followed him. Bosco runs off, and Yokas radios for backup.
Bosco is running down the street and hears fighting down in an alley. He sees the Fight Back guys beating up a man, and he tries to pull the guys off the man. They just push Bosco to the side, so Bosco pulls out his nightstick and starts whacking at the members of Fight Back. Bosco, it's Valentine's Day, not Springfield's Whacking Day! So he hits Roberto with his nightstick, and Roberto starts to fight him off so Bosco tries to smack him again. Roberto tells him that they got the shooter, and Bosco tells him that he'll put the guy in jail. Roberto gets all pissed that Bosco is "protecting" the shooter and gets in Bosco's face about it, and Bosco threatens to shoot Roberto. Bosco really knows how to work an angry crowd. Not. Yokas drives up to them, and she and the priest, who again appears out of nowhere, get out of the car. The priest IDs the shooter, then asks him what his name is. The shooter tells him his name is Tom, and then the priest starts praying for him. While you're at it, Father, pray for Bosco to have some patience with the people his job is to help and protect.
Kim is waiting for Bobby before he leaves the station for the night, and when she sees him, she tells him it was all a mistake. What a shock! Didn't see that coming, oh, last week (or what the writers would have us think was yesterday). Bobby gets upset and tells her to tell him that she doesn't love him. She tells him she loves him as her best friend. Bobby asks her if she is going to go back to dating big jerks, and she asks him if she should go out with him just to make him happy. He leaves.
Bosco and Yokas are leaving the precinct and Bosco asks Yokas if she wants to talk, because he can call Nicole and change his plans to be with Yokas instead. I think he is just trying to get out of getting Nicole a Valentine's Day gift. Yokas doesn't want to talk, and she walks away from him. Bosco asks her what her problem is, and she tells him that she's tired of him acting like he cares when all day he says such hateful things. She tells him today he had a problem with gays, "yesterday you have a problem with blacks, tomorrow it's Hispanics. Thursday you hate Asians. I'm just sick of you being a bigot." Bosco tells her, "I got a list of people I hate. But you tell me one time when I was in my uniform that I didn't do anything I could for the brothers or the eses or some trash-faced Paddy when they needed it. Gays included." I don't think I need to comment on this, because it is just too easy. Yokas tells him, "You wish you knew yourself so well."
The girl who was hit by the bus is waiting outside the station for Carlos as he comes back from a call. Carlos asks her how she is, and she tells him she has a mild concussion and needs to be woken up every couple hours. She was there because she wanted to thank him for saving her life, and she calls him her angel, and then she kisses him. Carlos offers to wake her up every couple of hours, or keep her up all night. I guess Carlos is really desperate for some nookie, since he is willing to throw it to some woman he just met who thinks he's an angel. Can we say "psycho"?
Bobby is having a beer at a bar, and who comes in but B-movie princess Yancy Butler. I just saw her last week (or was it yesterday?) in a Jean-Claude Van Damme film. Very cheesy. So she comes up to the bar and orders a shot of Stoli and wishes Bobby a happy Valentine's Day. There's some small talk -- he got hurt by the woman he loves, she found her fiancé and her maid of honor in her bed, and the other woman got a Mikimoto (nice pearls) necklace and she got a cheap box of chocolates. She needs to get the image of her fiancé and friend out of her head by a night of meaningless sex. She invites Bobby back to her apartment and then leaves. Bobby asks for his check. Nothing like drunken payback sex to make you feel so much better in the morning!
Fred comes home, and Yokas is sitting on the couch waiting for him. He tells her he's leaving, and then he looks over to the hall and sees that Yokas has packed up all his stuff already. Fred has a look on his face like, "D'oh! I thought she was going to ask me to stay!" Yokas tells him that she lived with a drunk growing up and that she won't let her kids live that way. She then tells him to get out or she'll call the police. Fred takes two boxes and a suitcase, looks at her like a hurt puppy, and leaves. That should sober him up quick! Fade to black.
