Storyline After capturing the "Polka-Dot Man" and seeing Bullock rough him up, Montoya requested to be reassigned. She took a kidnapping case with Bock and Essen. Internal Affairs went after Bullock and had him see a psychiatrist. He and his new partner, Soong, began working on a serial killer case where all the victims received a teddy bear before they were killed. Kitch and Caz looked into a string of art robberies. Montoya, acting as bait, was kidnapped by third-world zealots. Kitch and Caz got nowhere with the lawyer who was acting as the go-between for the insurance companies and the art robbers. The teddy bear murderer struck again. Bullock and Soong got a lead - all the victims had been sperm donors at the same place. After interviewing several recipients and zeroing in on one, Bullock himself received a teddy bear. They confronted their suspect and Soong took a bullet (he'd lost 3 previous partners to shootings). Bullock arrested the killers, who'd lost a baby from the same place the donors donated. Montoya escaped her captives; Kitch and Caz took down the lawyer they'd been after - he was setting up the heists.
