After a high profile Hispanic leader, JOHN PATRONE, who is trying to bring an end to warring gang factions in Santa Monica is slain by a snipers bullet, our young recruits finds the main suspect is a likeable motorcycle mechanic whose daughter committed suicide a year before. When it is learned she was pregnant by PATRONE, and that he was involved in drug dealing and gun running, it appears that this good citizen took the law into his own hands to bring the man down. By episode's end, Bobby Cruz is arrested for concealing evidence and the three other new Pacific Blue cops are under arrest as well.

Cannon Boy, a teenager obsessed with firing himself from a cannon, is pursued on the beach.

Pacific Blue's season opener picks up from the cliffhanger season-ender, ""The Right Thing,"" in which Bobby Cruz and the three other rookie cops were arrested for withholding evidence in the murder of gang conciliator, JOHN PATRONE.

The entire unit is pressured by IA officer SUSAN JESSUP, as BRUCE BEST is tried for the killing with Bobby Cruz as an accessory before Santa Monica's notorious hanging judge, J. GUNNAR HALLORAN.
