Vic and the strike team are back out on the streets on a routine bust when a banger takes a shot at Shane. When they shakedown the shooter, they find themselves in the middle of a prescription drug running ring. As they follow that lead, they find something bigger than they expected. Using Danny to go undercover as a soccer mom running drugs on the side, they discover a complex money laundering scheme being run out of a custom car outfit. Meanwhile, Dutch gets the word that Will, the Cuddler rapist, is ready to talk. Will's wife, Joanna, is also waiting at the Barn to talk to Will who completely refuses to communicate with her. As Dutch plays middle man between Will and his wife, he attempts to get inside the mind of a hugger and why he did what he did. Will mocks Dutch's text book analysis and in turn, psychologically digs into Dutch.

The Shield Show Summary

The Shield breaks the conventional formula of the cop genre. It plays out in a tough, morally ambiguous world in which the line between good and bad is crossed ever day. The series focuses on the tension between a group of corrupt but effective cops and a captain torn between bringing them down and advancing his own political ambitions.

The Shield stars rogue cop "Det. Vic Mackey", leader of the elite Strike Team unit, who is effective at eliminating crime but who operates under his own set of rules. "Captain David Aceveda", the young precinct head who doesn't like Mackey's tactics and wants to bust him off the force. And "Det. Claudette Wyms", a veteran detective who understands Mackey and knows how to play both sides of the fence.
