As Russell
fumbles with Simone's shirt buttons the day he is

beneath his starched white shirt. The squad's
nervous anticipation of their
colleague's release
then turns to devastation when it becomes
clear that an
infection jeopardizes Simone's ten-day-old heart
transplant.

distraught, Sipowicz is thrown by the unexpected
appearance of
his intoxicated ex-wife, who timidly asks for his
help on a DWI charge.

present--Sipowicz expresses
remorse about his treatment of Katie and confides
in Costas, "my new friend is gonna die . . . he
told me in his eyes."

with Dr. Swan--who recommends brain surgery
after Simone
experiences a seizure--and asks for Dr. Carreras to
visit. After sharing

Simone that he understands
the signal Simone will give when "it's time . . .
to stop fighting."
In a half-dream,
half-reality sequence, Simone lies on a rooftop
amid his beloved pigeons, murmuring remembrances of
parochial school and the job while Fancy, Martinez,
Medavoy and Kirkendall silently and tearfully bid
him goodbye. As the son he never had reaches out

promises to take care of Russell. Russell remains

last time.
