After a juvenile robbery bust, they are forced to release the boy captured by Art who did not read the boy his rights. He fumbles the arrest of the ex-husband carrying a gun. After being released, the ex-husband plants a bomb in the woman's car. Malloy is forced to have a frank discussion with Art about his inability to adjust to the changes in law enforcement policy.—Anonymous
- One of the best officers Malloy ever knew, Art McCall died in the line of duty eight years ago. The situation that led to his death, which was caused by the inexperience of his then rookie partner Officer Ben Powers, is used as an example to other officers now as what not to do. Luckily, McCall's death lasted for only three minutes, and although his long term prognosis coming out of that "death" was that he would probably live in a vegetative state for the rest of his life, he, probably out of sheer determination, recovered fully, enough now to resume active duty. He will be riding as a third in Adam-12 to ease himself back into the routine. As time goes on, both Malloy and Reed notice that for McCall, it's not like the old adage of riding a bike, especially when the laws about bike riding have changed in those eight years. The problem is that McCall doesn't see the problem, he believing that his tactics are justifiable as that's the way he did them eight years ago. And when he does see that his behavior has to change to match the new laws, he finds that working under these new conditions is more difficult than he imagined. His attitude and behavior causes problems with the cases Adam-12 has to deal with, including a series of warehouse burglaries committed by juveniles, and a young woman who fears for her life at the hands of her potentially murderous ex-con ex-husband. Will McCall eventually learn to adapt?—Huggo
