A seemingly healthy student dies after a single punch from a police officer during a drug bust.  Jordan is reluctant to rule the blow as the sole cause of the young man's death.

Quotes:

Woody: Looks like man vs. city bus. You can guess the outcome.

Woody: Victor Carlson freeze. Victor?
Lily: I think he took your request literally.

Nigel: Okay. So how big do you like it? What? I meant the photograph of course.
Devan: Just keep enlarging it till I tell you when to stop.

Frances: [to Woody] I just slipped you a couple of sleeping pills. Don't worry. They won't kill you. I'll have to do that.

Devan: So Jordan, did you think you’d be doing this when you were in High School?
Jordan: I was happy just to graduate; becoming a doctor wasn’t even a pipe dream.

Jordan: Yearbook?
Devan: Most likely to never change. You?
Jordan: Most likely to do 5 to 10.
Devan: Oh
Jordan: Yeah, I would have hated you.
Devan: Likewise.

Jordan: Look detective, were not out to get your sergeant, but if an autopsy shows he’s responsible, he’s responsible.
Cruise: Should I talk to Macy about this?
Jordan: Hey, you know what; you can call the Pope for all I care.

Bug: Since when do you drink green tea with honey and black pearls?
Woody: Since my lips are so frost bit they’re about to fall off.

Woody: Best part is Donald Foster was an employee of the US government.
Lily: What’s so good about that?
Woody: They smacked an IRS auditor.
Lily: Hey, show a little respect.

Woody: Don’t tell me I missed something.
Bug: Oh, ok…I won’t. But you did.

Devan: Your field trip or mine?
Jordan: Something tells me you might be a little more effective with the jocks that I would.
Devan: Oh, ok. (takes off gloves to leave). You know, I’ve been trying to shake the whole cheerleader image for a long time. Is it that bad?
Nigel: Keep tryin’ love. (as Jordan smiles)

Woody: Next, I am going to go visit Victor Carlson.
Lily: It would help my next evaluation if I followed this case from beginning to end. And you know how helpful Bug can be, examining a crime scene and all. (Bug turns around and bats eyes at Woody)

Frances: Do you bake?
Lily: I'm better at burning.

Bug: Remember, heavy object, odd design.
Woody: Thank you Bug, that really narrows it down.
Bug: Just tryin’ to help.

Jordan: What’s wrong? Case closed, right?
Devan: Yeah, I just kind of wanted to catch a bad guy.
Jordan: Be happy we figured out what really happened.
Devan: I made so many mistakes. I mean, I specifically remember saying it was an open and shut case of police brutality. You told me not to jump to conclusions and what did I do?
Jordan: Great jumping, really.
