Having just been dumped by his 20-something year old girlfriend, wasting money on tickets to Hawaii and a wedding ring; he doesn't see how things can get any worse. After arriving at Thomson's office, he is greeted by a short round of jokes at his expense. Thomson tries to change the subject by showing Bradley a vile containing Steel and Glass. When Bradley demands to know about his last two cases, Thomson reluctantly answers "they both walked." Thomson lied about his cases to get Bradley to come back in. It was a trick. Thomson tries to play off the fact that he knows Bradley is too much of a hard ass to ever accept help. He explains he is handing him over one last case. Bradley knows something is up and finds out there is a catch. Bradley has to work with the Chief's rookie nephew. Bradley unwillingly accepts the Steel and Glass case. Forced to work with the arrogant Mark, the two take a trip down memory lane. Frank hides his current frustration by recalling his career of missed opportunities. He does his best to reach out to the misguided kid but his brash attitude gets the better of him. They fight over Mark's role model, his uncle Thomson. Frank tells a tale of how he was betrayed by Thomson and his friends into never receiving a case that led to a successful conviction, took the chief position out from under him, and finally forced him into early retirement. Mark sees a man who everyone likes and put his career first. The two clash as it all leads up to the explosive finish that sheds light onto each man's character. Written by
