The team put a gang informant in protective custody while they look into the murder of his junior reserve officers' training corps instructor.

Antoine Batiste does the 'Cupid Shuffle,' as Desiree's mother's house collapses. Annie T's visiting parents learn about her record deal. Albert Lambreaux's kids learn about his lymphoma. Toni Berrnette learns about Sofia's boyfriend. When Sofia gets stopped by Officer Billy Wilson, it prompts a Toni Bernette appeal to NOPD captain Marcus Grayson. Janette Desautel has a reunion.

Janette, Aunt Mimi and Annie commit to new deals, with varying degrees of enthusiasm. Toni may have found the killer she seeks; Terry is still looking for his; L.P. Everett meets his victim's family; Batiste plays his bone in Texas; Sonny plays his music closer to home.
