## Synopsis

On the upcoming 20th commemoration ceremony for 9/11, Joe remembers his late father, and it is revealed that he blames himself for his death because he turned down a chance to go to a football game in Colorado in favor of practicing with his band, resulting in his father going to work on that day and subsequently dying in the line of duty.

Nurse Joe, following the advice of Eric and Amy, takes Jenny out on a date, during which Jenny asks him to bring Christopher to the commemoration. She tells Joe that if he's serious about repairing their relationship, he needs to start dealing with his grief. Joe ultimately finds the courage to attend the ceremony, and even takes part in the reading of victims' names. Jenny learns that her firm wants her to return to college and finish her degree, allowing her to finally become a lawyer, but only if she moves to Atlanta for a year.

Musician Joe asks Frank, his head of security, to find his son. He goes to ask Jenny for help as well, but she discourages him, fearing what might happen if her husband learns she had a child out of wedlock. Amy accepts Diaz's offer to run in his place, and tells Joe that she is content with them not having children. Joe then calls Frank and tells him to do whatever it takes to find his son's adoptive parents.

Officer Joe learns that he has been promoted to detective, with Frank as his training officer. The two are assigned to investigate Diaz's shooting, with Joe learning that the shooter, Wayne Coleman, wanted to take "revenge" on the Congressman. The investigation also forces him to work with Jenny, even though her husband is concerned that Joe might discover that he is the biological father of their son. Amy uses her connections to get Joe's father's badge number restored so Joe can use it, and they go on a date. Unbeknownst to Joe, Amy is also in a relationship with Diaz.

## Quotes

* Uncle Frank: It’s not a press conference.

Uncle Frank: Sure, I used to do it all the time when I was on the force. Who is it?
Joe: My son.

* Joe: That’s my son, our son.
Jenny: Those are my daughters and my husband. My family doesn’t need me re-opening the biggest wound of my entire life.

## Trivia

* When ADA Jenny discovers Wayne doesn’t have a family she suggests Wayne might be trying to pull a “40.15”. 40.15 is the penal code for insanity. In other words he thinking Coleman might be trying to plead “not guilty by reason of insanity”.
