Directed by Zale Dalen
Airdate: January 21, 1991
Guest Star: Karin Konoval (Nurse Sylvia Harris)
The episode opens with Officer Joey Penhall having to kill someone in the line of duty. Fuller orders him to counseling and for some time off. Initially resistant, Joey finds meaning in volunteering at a maternity ward for babies born who are addicted to drugs.
Joey becomes attached to one of the babies whose mother remains living a criminal life. Like his brother Doug, he wants to adopt the child but eventually decides he would be wrong for it.
More of a melodramatic episode, I suppose it was written as an acting showcase for the Joey Penhall character. Alas, Michael DeLuise would not be sticking around for the entire season.
