After a woman is shot, mob style, a student who is very perceptive, manages to get information from a previous day. It turns out there are Russians involved in something. The guys go to investigate when they grab a guy who is acting suspiciously. He is Russian. This leads to a wild ride where Connie is handcuffed to a guy loaded up with a bomb and threats that if they don't release the Russian guy, the bomb will go off. It's a highly emotional ride and shows Connie to be the consummate cop, handling the situation though her heart is in her throat.

Hope the show isn't getting ridiculous

Warning: Spoilers
While cases over the last ten years have included some that were unusual, that's what made them interesting and we're not here to see boring stories. But this episode struck me as way over the top.
*Spoilers Ahead* A guy walks into the squad room and handcuffs himself to the pregnant detective and they're all going to be blown up if a Russian mobster isn't released from prison in the next hour? I'm sorry, but that seems a little convoluted and far-fetched to me. Not knocking the acting by any of the cast, it was all top notch as usual. I just hope that we're not going to see more and more outlandish situations going forward. (I want to joke about a future plot line with a guy who has a machine to control the weather.) The grounding in reality - both the sour and the sweet - is what's made me love the show so far.
