Belker (Bruce Weitz) is worrying about Robin’s (Lisa Sutton) pregnancy, and where their relationship is going. He’s thinking about marriage. But he’s also having a problem with a pair of brothers (Michael Lerner and Alex Henteloff) who seem to be screwing one another over for some diamonds, and Belker is caught in the middle.

An Oy for an Oy was written by Jacob Epstein from a story by Elia Katz. It first debuted on 14 November, 1985. Renko (Charles Haid) and Bobby (Michael Warren) have an encounter with a mentally-challenged homeless man, Toby (Jeffrey Alan Chandler) which leads to the discovery that a cop from another precinct, Garrity (Duke Stroud) is picking them up and dropping them off in another end of town, specifically in this case, the hill’s precinct.

Buntz (Dennis Franz) knows the cop doing it, and both he and Renko have a go at him in their own ways.

Meanwhile, Jablonski (Robert Prosky) is working undercover with Goldblume (Joe Spano) and J.D. (Kiel Martin). Unfortunately, they are unable to get a cash front to trap their criminals, so Jablonski uses his own money, and it is promptly stolen from him, leading Jablonski to really want to exact some revenge.

Washington (Taurean Blcque) is getting released from the hospital today, and he’s unsure if he wants to resume his romantic relationship with Lynetta (Shirley Jo Finney), and Hunter (James Sikking) attends some dog obedience courses and may have a bit of a flirt with the instructor.

Fathers and Huns sees Goldblume dealing with a neo-nazi group that wants to protest and parade through the precinct, which is not going to make them welcome by the minorities who live there. Belker and Goldblume find themselves caught up in a counter-protest that sees violence and fruit-throwing erupt.

This episode was written by Walon Green and debuted on 21 November, 1985.

Bobby learns some news about his dad, Reggie (James McEachin). It seems he may be ill, or perhaps it’s just a scheme to get more money from Bobby. But through it all, somehow the two find a way to forge a bit of a connection, despite the fact that Bobby’s not sure if he can ever trust his father. Renko encourages him to try and talk things out with his dad, because he’s not going to be around forever.

Furillo (Daniel J. Travanti) is pursuing a drug dealer, Corso (David Froman), but the minor charge is causing political problems, especially when the dealer promises more info if he gets a deal. He and the precinct do everything they can to make sure that the deal doesn’t go through, and the biggest bust they can pull off to keep the drugs off the street is at hand.

Things are complicated because of a drug shortage on the streets, and people are injecting the worst of the worst just to get some kind of high. This comes around to cause problems for Belker as well, as he’s upset to learn that Robin was involved in a bit of violence during a bust that frightens him about what could happen to her while she’s on patrol. And that may have a huge impact on their relationship.

Sounds like there’s all manner of trouble on the hill.
