Jake (Josh Lucas) rushes to find that Laura (Debra Messing) is okay and Santiani (Callie Thorne) was the one who was killed. She has to break the news to Justin (Lewis Grosso) Santiani's son and also Meredith (Janina Gavankar) finds the bullets could have gone either way cos the killer didn't compensate for windshift. So they think Laura is the target, as Jake watches the video of the shooting over and over. Laura tells him the only one that is the possible threat is Chun (Louis Ozawa Changchien) At the holding cells, they find Chun escaped by swapping his ID bracelet with another prisoner, Calvin Wo (Jake Choi). He tells Meredith he was scared and when he asked he just went ahead with it, cos the last person who argued with him, his wife, got killed. He doesn't know where he is or wants to know. Laura recalls Chun's baby photo on the phone and telling her he's ten days old. As well as knowing that each hospital has different blanket designs for babies. This one belongs to Brooklyn. Max (Max Jenkins) checks out all births within 12 days and they narrow it down to one woman who hasn't listed the father's name, which also gives them an address..
Meredith tells Laura she and Billy (Laz Alonso) will go cos they can't let her out. When they arrest him, Chun tells him he didn't order the hit on Santiani but there was a hit on her, which leaves Laura in the clear. Meredith worries about Max cos he hasn't cried at all or shown any emotion. Jake thinks she doesn't have many cases here so maybe the case goes back to Santiani's old precinct as well as it being personal, putting her ex, Vince (Scott Cohen) into the picture. Laura and Billy go to Justin's grandmother's (Mercedes Ruehl) house to speak with him but find he's missing. Probably been kidnapped by Vince as he's left his phone.
Jake tells Laura to go home cos she's been awake since the press conference. She needs to see the kids and spend as much time with them as possible. Laura tells him Santiani had tickets to Florida for Justin to see the space centre and now she won't get to take him. Jake tells Billy he's going to take the plunge and ask Jennifer (Jenna Fisher) to marry him, life's too short and especially after his health scare, he doesn't know how long he's got but he was honest with her. Billy thinks it's too soon to ask but he understands. He could be next very soon. Lucy's (Debby Ryan) been looking after the twins and has them ready for school as well as keeping the house in order. Laura's grateful for her being here. She's so sad and then recalls that Santiani kept tabs on Justin at all times with his bracelet. She tells Meredith to access Santiani's computer, but they need a password. Laura thinks she still kept the password she was issued with and she finds Justin's location.
Jake goes in as a gas man checking the meter and Vince tells them he didn't do it. He was worried about Justin so he had to take him. Justin tells Laura he's here voluntarily. His father loves him and wouldn't hurt him. Also at Vince's apartment they find a payment plan for 300K which they think could have been for the shooter he hired. Laura's comment on whether Jennifer's seen his bachelor pad yet. Jake tells him to take a polygraph and Laura tells him they're asking the wrong questions. Jennifer personally accompanied their own polygrapher and she tells Jake she was worried when she heard an officer was shot and blabs a lot. As Laura watches them. Laura asks Vince if he feels guilty about his wife's death and he does. He used to watch out for the Nolan brothers at the docks and he missed a shipment on his watch they used to skim from, so he owed them and they demanded it now. They had a relative on the NYPD who got a payment and death benefits and so they hurried along the process, threatening Justin next. He loved his wife and loves his son.
Max finds info on the brothers and they make Vince wear a wire and lure them in when he pays them a percentage back. Laura recalled Santiani's words and made him wear a wire where the sun don't shine, arresting the brothers. Justin's grandmother agrees to let Vince look in on Justin cos she doesn't want him losing another parent. As the precinct says farewell to the Captain with a radio call to "Captain Santiani; Central to Captain Santiani...Captain Santiani end of watch.." As Josh said that's how they say goodbye to a captain in real life too. All very poignant, just as she and Laura were becoming friends. Laura hated how she did things like her too, which is why they didn't get on.
Jake asks Billy to wish him luck and Billy also tells Laura what he's going to do. Laura goes home and cries and Lucy tells her to "seize the day by the balls!" But sadly, the day has ended into night and when she gets to the NBC Observation Deck (obviously) she finds him already at dinner. She tells him that he treated her like hell and well she's sorry as she did the same but she's still in love with him. He tells her she took this long to tell him. Laura wants him to throw the ring out of the window and come home to her bed and never leave!! They kiss and what an awful long kiss that was, phew...!! Jennifer walks in asking if there's anything she can do and we spot the ring on her finger, he's already proposed, wow thought he would've waited til later, you know the night was still young and all that!
No to nitpick but, er, Jake you kinda 'cheated' on Jennifer already by kissing your ex after you're already engaged! So it was with great trepidation that we heard on 14th May that NBC had cancelled the show!! Spoilt sports and all that, to put it mildly! How the hell do you not renew even just to give fans closure. We didn't want blood, just a few eps like 6 even, to finish off and give the show a perfect ending we always wanted, after the actors and fans invested so much emotion into the show. Seems no other Network wants to pick it up and finish it off either. Hey Netflix how about it?? Just so we fans can have some closure! It was sad wasn't it, they lose a Captain, say goodbye to her and then we have to say goodbye to a show we love! A double whammy for us!
Would've been good to see what would've happened next, would Jake leave Jennifer, would they walk around each other's feelings again, would Jake take over as Captain once again...oh NBC how we hate you!!
Debra Messing tweeted: "Let's just say Jake called off the engagement and ran to Laura and lived happily ever after."
Josh Lucas: "..and that Jake and Laura then retired from the NYPD, sold the house, moved to a small cabin where the twins fish daily." And they make dairy product!! @Jake and Laura's Ice Cream Perfection.' What I had to say that to stop myself from blubbing!!
On the cancellation Debra tweeted: "My dear Diamonds our story has ended but it was a joyous story to tell. We are all so grateful to you for your love." #DiamondsForever
Josh: "Truly I'm grateful to all the friends and supporters of @NBCLaura @DebraMessing is an amazing costar our cast and crew were blessed Thank you!"
