So the show starts off with Bobby going into the visiting room of a prison. He walks up to some guy and gives him one of those "I'm not gay" back-slapping hugs and then sits down at a table with him. Apparently, from the way they are talking, I gather that the guy is Bobby's brother and has been in jail for the past year and will be getting out week. The brother asks if their mother will let him stay with her, and Bobby tells him she said no. His brother says that he has been staying with the program and that he needs to stay with their mom because he can't do it alone. Bobby says he'll ask their mother again. Um, okay, like that scene made any sense.
Katie Holmes Wannabe -- a.k.a. Sunny -- is outside Kim's apartment waiting for her.

Kim tells her that she doesn't trust her to stay in her place while she is out, but offers to help her contact her family or find a shelter. Sunny just runs off.
Bosco is waiting for Yokas at the bottom of a flight of stairs leading to a train platform and as Yokas makes it to the bottom of the stairs, Bosco tells her that he thinks they should get their story straight in case anyone asks. Yeah, like anyone would care if some gang leader was killed. She tells him that if anyone asks he should just tell the truth.
Sully is about to walk into the precinct to start his shift, when Ty's mom drives up with Ty. She gets out of the car to say hello to Sully. Ty's mom is pretty -- she looks like one of those moms that is cool, but if you cross her she'll kick your ass. And she looks like someone who would party after midnight.

Cop dating partner's mother? We'll see. As Ty walks away from the car and his mom is about to drive away, she yells out from the car, "Hope I put enough starch in your shirt!"

Ty tells him they're better that way. I knew he was a mama's boy. A rookie cop living with mommy, and he busts Sully's chops about dating?
“ I'm surprised Kim didn't inform us of the fact that she has no money is because she has a six-year-old and an ex-husband who doesn't pay child support, because she has not failed to mention that at least twice every episode. ”
Doc and Carlos are putting an old lady on a stretcher in the ambulance, and Doc is telling Carlos that Jerry is going on disability. Carlos thinks that it's a scam that citizens and the city pay for Jerry to sit around and rent videos and watch hockey on TV. Doc informs him that Jerry would rather be working than shuffling around with a colostomy bag. Carlos gives Doc a full-body whatever, and then starts to go to the driver's side of the bus. Doc asks him what he's doing, since Doc always drives. Carlos tells him in a snotty tone that he is in training and he needs to learn how to drive the bus. Carlos is getting a little cocky -- I think he needs to be reminded that he is no longer in the Marines. So Carlos starts driving, and as he's turning a corner, he turns around to look at Doc while he's telling him something, and he smacks the ambulance into a man trying to cross the street. Carlos, your job is to help people, not hurt them! Now you know why Doc does all the driving!
The opening credit music plays, and I pour myself a glass of wine, because I just know this is going to be a long show.
Did you know that if people with asthma take the right medication, they can go on rollercoasters? Well, they can.
Kim and Bobby in their ambulance. Kim is telling Bobby about Sunny appearing at her apartment. Bobby randomly says that his checking balance and monthly statement is three dollars off and that he will have to call the bank about it. Kim tells him that if she has money in her account by the end of the month, she says a novena. I'm surprised she didn't inform us of the fact that she has no money is because she has a six-year-old and an ex-husband who doesn't pay child support, because she has not failed to mention that at least twice every episode. Bobby doesn't like to keep on one track of thought for very long, because he asks if Sunny was strung out. Kim tells him that she tried to get Sunny to call her family or a shelter but Sunny just blew her off. All of a sudden, the ambulance dies. It has run out of gas! Oh, those pesky guys on the shift before her -- they leave the bus dirty, and then don't fill the tank up for them! Okay, with my cars, if the gas tank gets low, a light goes on and a sound goes off; what was Kim paying attention to? Isn't the amount of gas something you just automatically check before you go off driving around the city, especially if you drive an ambulance? It isn't hard to do -- just look at the gauge, usually located right to the speedometer. Anyway, Kim throws a hissyfit, and then decides that they are going to push the ambulance to a gas station a few blocks away and then fill the tank only halfway, because that should get them through the day and they won't be helping out the other shift because they didn't help her. Um, Kim, aren't there three shifts? And aren't you pissed at the second shift? If you only fill up the tank for your use, you will be shafting the first shift.
