Complete story — includes the ending
Penny returns, nearly nine months pregnant, and expresses some doubts about giving up her baby to Charlie and Nicole. After a conversation, Gloria agrees to meet her at a clinic for one of Penny's final check-ups. But Penny is struck by a car when getting off a bus, and is rushed to the hospital. Denise is called into the surgery, forcing her to miss the dedication of the Claudia Joy Holden Memorial Reflecting Pool. Penny's baby boy is saved, but Penny dies on the operating table. Elsewhere, Sgt. Hall and Lt. Clarke are verbally reprimanded by Col. Sherwood, but are told the unauthorized patrol will not be reported. Just after Joan tells Roland she is considering retiring from the Army to be with her growing family, General Holden tells her she has been recommended for a study program that will put her in line to be a one-star general. This doesn't sit well with Roland, who had just returned from Baltimore and announced that Johns Hopkins offered him a full-time position. Maggie discovers her stepdaughter has been drinking beer with friends, rather than going to the teen center as she had told her. Gloria writes a letter to Hector informing him that he has a son.
