Hammer Time
Fresh out of prostate surgery, Andy Sipowicz (Dennis Franz) returns to active duty — only to be sidelined by an accident. The investigation of a murder arising from a love triangle is interrupted when Bobby Simone (Jimmy Smits) is pulled away to investigate a murder that has taken place in the Brooklyn apartment building that he owns. This brings him back into contact with the troublesome Henry Coffield (Willie Garson) — who, once again, is a prime suspect. Elsewhere, an immunity agreement may impede justice in a child slaying, and former PAA Naomi (Gabrielle Fitzpatrick) visits the precinct with some good news (for a change)., A shooting incident leads to evidence of a grisly child slaying; Simone (Jimmy Smits) looks into the disappearance of an elderly tenant from the apartment house he owns. Rose: Lucinda Jenney. Henry: Willie Garson. Sipowicz: Dennis Franz.
