In the end, it's the Bike Patrol -- and not the FBI -- that discovers the bomber's true plan is to use the blackout to pull a multi-million dollar bank heist. While this is happening, T.C.'s girlfriend Sandy returns to live with him, with the condition that he not tell her anything about his job so she won't worry. But the agreement ends up making things harder on both of them.

He's dating a woman several (noticeable) years his junior, which reinforces his fear that he's gotten old. Matters are complicated when his sixteen year-old daughter Jessie unexpectedly shows up to live with him and doesn't take kindly to the new female in his life.

Victor has to find him before he commits a serious crime which will wed him to the gangbanging life forever. At Cory's invitation, Chris agrees to stay at her apartment for a week while hers is being painted. The resulting ""Odd Couple"" situation almost breaks the friendship.

During a fight with an armed robbery suspect, T.C. is knocked out and his gun stolen. T.C. takes it hard, and things get worse when they find the thief...killed by a bullet from T.C.'s gun. The trail of the gun leads to several other crimes, and eventually falls into the hands of a sixteen year-old boy who's being extorted by a group of kids on the boardwalk. Fearing further physical assaults, he's refused to report his bullies to the Bike Patrol. This gun is a way to finally get rid of his tormentors...permanently. Victor and Chris are approached by an eight year-old boy reporting his dog has been stolen. They don't take the report very seriously, until a partial license plate number is traced to a kennel which supplies dogs to research labs. As a practical joke, Cory signs Chris up with a video-dating service. Initially upset, Chris comes to view it as an excellent way to screen thousands of potential boyfriends without the hassle and disappointment of a full-blown first date.
