Kirby gets really mad at Regeski's hypersensitiveness and tries to move her desk away from his, moving it an inch every day. Tony arrest Billy, a notorious purse snatcher, again. But Melanie shows up and hears Tony running him down, and writes a report about Billy 'who had a bad childhood and never got a chance'. This report doesn't fail and Billy is released,again, only to choose Melanie as his next victim.

Melanie allows a stakeout to be set up in her apartment, where Tony inadvertently finds some damaging evidence of another sort — in Melanie's diary.
