Complete story — includes the ending
Luke Ryland (" Homicide.com ") is set free on a technicality after several delays in his trial. Bayliss flies into a rage and shoves Danvers down the courthouse steps, but later apologizes at Gee's urging. Lewis and Falsone investigate a drug addict found stabbed to death in her home; afterward, they arrest her husband. Her sister—a Catholic nun—offers him her forgiveness. Gee's promotion comes through, but he turns it down because it will require him to transfer out of the homicide unit. Munch marries Billie Lou but spends his wedding night at the Waterfront after he is unable to consummate the marriage. Shortly after Ryland taunts Bayliss with his plans to continue his murders in New Orleans, Bayliss quietly packs his things and leaves the squad room without explanation. Lewis and Sheppard respond to a call of a body in an alley — Ryland, shot and killed (an event later referred to in Homicide: The Movie ). As they begin to investigate, their conversation mirrors an exchange between Lewis and Crosetti in "Gone for Goode" season 1, ending with the same line: "That's what's wrong with this job. It ain't got nothing to do with life."
