    Personnel issues: Lindsay gets medal for her bravery and she has to see a mandatory dept. therapist. She's not sure how to deal with shooting Shane Casey..
    Guest stars: Best episode quotes:
    • Danny: (Over the intercom) If you hurt her, I will kill you!
      (Lindsay gets up and charges her gun)
      Shane Casey: Man, I got you.
      Lucy: Mama.
      Shane Casey: The most important thing to you in the whole wide world, right here in my arms.
      Lindsay: (Aiming at Casey) Put her down.
      Shane Casey: Oh. Whoa. Be careful. You look a little nervous. A little emotional. I mean, your hands are shaking. You want to make sure you have a good shot, 'cause, uh, you don't want to miss.
      Danny: Just put her down, you son of a *****... please.
      Shane Casey: She puts the gun down now! Or I kill her! You understand?
      Danny: All right. Okay. (To Lindsay, as he makes her lower her gun) Babe, babe.
      Lindsay: Don't you touch her!
      Shane Casey: You have everything.
      Lucy: Mama!
      Shane Casey: A wonderful wife. Beautiful baby. Aw, look at the cutie.
      (Lindsay shoots Casey dead, Danny get Lucy from his arms and gives her to Lindsay, then hugs both)

    • Officer: Courage is not the absence of fear, but rather the judgment that something else is more important. Today, Officer Lindsay Monroe Messer is being recognized for an extraordinary act of heroism. It is my great honour to award Officer Lindsay Monroe Messer the Combat Cross.

    • Jo: My first thought was… (Laughs) ...it's a practical joke. You know? Welcome to the New York Crime Lab.
      Mac: We usually sabotage a pair of latex gloves or have a tech pose as a dead body in autopsy, then suddenly pop to life, but murder? Not our style.
      Jo: Good to know.
  • Jo: Excessive makeup, which tells me she's single, but dating. The soles of her shoes are significantly worn, so I imagine she walks either from her home or to the subway on her way to work. (Sniffs) Ah, the fragrance was a gift from a man. The scent is sweet, not floral.
    Mac: Do you happen to know her mother's maiden name?
    Jo: Just trying to make a good first impression with the boss.

  • Danny: So why go through the trouble of breaching a high-security building?
    Hawkes: You could just lie in wait and attack someone in the street.
    Mac: I don't know. But we're gonna check every floor and corner of this high-rise until we find out.

  • Therapist: Lindsay, I going to recommend further counselling.
    Lindsay: What don't you get? I have no remorse, I have no regrets, I have no nightmares. You can check them all off your stupid little list. Your work is done.
    Therapist: So, how is it that after five months, I hardly know anything about you?
    Lindsay: I'm here because it's a department mandate because I killed a guy. That's all you need to know. Everything else about me is none of your business (She throws the Combat Cross to a bin on her way out)

  • Jo: These elimination prints are completely unnecessary. I was an FBI Agent. I'm in the federal system.
    Adam: Look, I don't want to knock your former employer, but they're not exactly built for speed, and Mac is not a patient man.

  • Jo: I've seen your FBI file.
    Adam: I have a file?
    Jo: A thick one. And I've seen some of those web sites you visit.
    Adam: Well, I... You know, I... I'm not the only one that uses that computer. I mean, I've got friends that come over, and we do research. What web sites are we talking about?
    Jo: I didn't think you'd be that easy. I am just kidding (Laughs)
  • Jo: Jimmy Choo. Not bad on a junior associate's salary.
    Hawkes: Kate Spade purse, designer blouse, Dolce & Gabbana pants. There's a month's pay sitting on this table.
  • Jo: She was expecting a visitor that she really wanted to look good for. An older, more established guy.
    Hawkes: Or a young hotshot with lots of cash.
    Jo: Well, maybe, but... a discreet, late-night rendezvous with a man in the office who lavishes her with gifts... I'll put my money on an older, more established, wealthy, married man. That's our suspect.
    Hawkes: Sounds like you're speaking from experience.
    Jo: How I wish.
    (Hawkes laughs)

  • Adam: (Running a cell phone on a computer) Not only will it figure out the pass code to Sarah's phone, but once I'm in, it'll give me all her deleted e-mails, texts and internal application data.
    Danny: Oh, so, uh, deleted is never really deleted, huh?
    Adam: I keep telling you guys that, but nobody believes me.

  • Adam: Hey, so, uh, what do you think of Jo?
    Danny: I think, uh, Jo's pretty damn smart. She's cool. I like her a lot.
    Adam: Oh, she gives me the creeps. I think she's got secret files on all of us.
    Danny: (Laughs) Files?
    Adam: Yeah.
    Danny: What kind of files?
    Adam: Secret.

  • Adam: We're in. Now here comes the hard part... sorting through all this crap as fast as we can.
    Danny: Hmm. Good luck with that, you geek.
    Adam: Whoa, hey. Where you going, man? Pull up a chair. Grab a keyboard, help a brother out. Come on, huh? Huh?

  • Lindsay: (Voice over as she reads Stella's letter) Linds, just wanted to congratulate you on your commendation today. You're so brave in so many ways. It's just a little gift that represents my admiration for you. Things here in New Orleans are great, although it's not easy being the boss. I'm going a million miles an hour. Can't catch my breath. Say hey to everyone. I miss you all. Love, Stella.

  • Mac: No matter how mentally tough you think you are, or how justified you were, killing another human being is going to affect you. There's no shame in it.
    Lindsay: Till today, I didn't feel anything.
    Mac: What changed?
    Lindsay: You putting that medal around my neck. For the first time since the shooting, it took me right back to that moment.

  • Lindsay: You know, Shane Casey came into my house. He threatened my family. I killed him. I'd do the same thing a hundred times over. I never felt scared before that. I... I never cried. I never thought about how much danger we were in. I just did what I had to do.
    Mac: Well, nothing prepares you for that kind of terror. And there's no book on how we deal with it afterwards.
    Lindsay: We never went back to that apartment. I never took a day off work. I just swept it all to the side like it never even happened. What if I can't deal with it, Mac?
    Mac: You already are. It's happening. This is the beginning of coming to terms with it.
    Lindsay: Is that what I'm doing?
    Mac: You'll get through this, Lindsay.
    Lindsay: How can you be so sure?
    Mac: You're a warrior. If there's one thing I've learned over the years... the spirit of the warrior can't be broken.

  • Danny: Thought I'd find you up here. Is this your new spot?
    Lindsay: Did I have an old one?
    Danny: Yes, you did (Embraces her) Right here.

  • Danny: I talked to the department therapist.
    Lindsay: Danny, I am not going back there. I'm done.
    Danny: I know that. I'm not asking you to. But, uh, baby, you deserve this, okay? You deserve it. (Gives her the Combat Cross) Okay, not for... not for the life you took, but for the life you saved. You saved our daughter. You're my hero.

    I hope if there is a shoot-out, Lucy does not get shot... If anyone gets shot, I hope Shane Casey gets shot...

    myenchantedworld Let's think logically here... 13 Jul 29 2010, 9:20 PM EDT by i_love_dantana1101

    I'm having a difficult time believing this...no offense to the person who put it here but this was originally posted on wikipedia and ANYONE can post ANYTHiNG on there. Keep that in mind...

    I think its safe to say that there is NO WAY IN HELL they are going to get rid of danny...for two reasons. 1.) Stella is leaving and getting rid of Danny would have a substancial affect on viewer ratings...and 2.) Having to replace two of the shows key people would wreck the show (I'm assuming the writers's have half a brain)

    Now to add question to the other bits. Why on earth would Flack be at Danny and Lindsey's apartement when its safe to assume that an ordinary person would die from such a fall as Shane Casey had? There would be no point unless they were assuming he had survived and purposefully set up danny, lindsey, AND baby lucy as bait...unlikely.

    Sorry but I just find this highly unlikely...Carmine said in an interview that we would be left feeling "What the f*ck...Seriously?" So my assumption would be that it was just a nightmare. Either way, we know they wouldn't kill off baby Lucy in such a way. Time will tell...

    Sorry for my rant, I'm just frustrated...
