Tony and Rachel consider buying a new home in an exclusive area of town. After being arrested by Ricky and Carmela on a possible DUI, the son of a wealthy and well-connected attorney dies in police custody, but the attorney refuses to accept either his son's life in a rough part of town or that his death was a suicide. Stan tries to solve a series of convenience store robberies. Tony learns how the young suspect got the belt with which he hanged himself in his holding cell and that the boy was blackmailed over his law school failure, which may have driven him to end his own life.

A man in a Santa Claus mask is committing home invasions. Worried about his fitness, Tony volunteers to partner up with different officers on night patrol – and gets a surprise or three while learning night patrol isn't quite what he remembered from his years as a Brooklyn beat officer.

Tony discovers one of Rachel's colleagues, a popular and much-honoured teacher, is a child molester. Stan tries to catch a robber who left his hat at the scene. Tony scrambles to get ballet tickets in time for Rachel's birthday while also learning about the molester's own childhood abuse and trying to convince the parents of one of the molester's victims to let their daughter tell her story in court.
