Love
Cat Espinosa invites Karim Al Habib over to her apartment, where they hang out and enjoy each other’s company. Whispering in Cat’s ear, Karim admits that no one else makes him feel things like she does, and that he knows it’s love. Cat feels the same way about him.
Interrogation
Karim conducts the interrogation of one of the suspects in a vandalism case while the rookies watch through the one way mirror. Karim’s questioning techniques wear down Omar Jaouad’s resolve and Omar admits to the crime. It’s a fine and community service for this law breaker!
Rookies
Police Chief Karim Al Habib checks in with two of the new rookie cops at the station. Jack Carson is a promising junior officer and Akito Ishikawa has big shoes to fill – Akito’s Uncle Daichi taught Karim everything he knows about being Chief. Karim has high expectations of them both.
Crime Scene
Akito gets assigned to a case helping one of the detectives. At the crime scene in Newcrest, it appears that some vandalism has taken place. Akito interviews a witness, Amie Kalani. Amie says she saw someone in an angry mood kicking over all the trash cans and provides a description.
Pranked
Akito has trouble processing a suspect’s prints at the booking station. When he returns from asking a colleague why the machine may have failed, he finds Martha Noonan has transformed into an alien. Akito assumes it must be a prank they play on the new cadets, and takes her mugshot like a professional.
Joining the Force
Dressed in full police uniform, Akito Ishikawa presents himself to his Uncle Daichi for inspection. Akito took the plunge and joined the Police Force. Being the former chief, Daichi couldn’t be more proud of his nephew for answering the call to protect and serve the community.
Gym Encounter
Ayaka Arashiro visits the large gym in Oasis Springs and encounters a handsome looking guy. Akito Ishikawa is on his way to the weight lifting machines when he stops to say hello. Ayaka can tell he does a lot of working out. After a pleasant chat, they exchange phone numbers.
Sports
Justin Thorne introduces himself to Rose Monroe while having a drink at The Solar Flare lounge. Justin mentions he just got promoted to be a locker room attendant for The Other Sports Team. Rose is super into sports, and loves that team! After some gossiping about athletes and some flirting, Rose gives Justin her phone number.
Karaoke
Karaoke is a popular pastime of San Myshuno dwellers, and the Waterside Warble is a popular venue. It’s contest night, so Penny performs a rendition of the song “Weekender” for a small audience of barflys. She doesn’t win, but has fun and got to practice singing.
