Chris and Rita investigate the death of Roland Ballentine.

They find that Junior and Roland were sleeping with the same woman, Eve Kinsley--a stripper who worked for Donnie Dog's "Dream Girls". Chris and Rita also discover that Junior has a gambling problem, and that he needed the inheritance he got to pay off his debts--so all the evidence points to Junior. Meanwhile, Chris and Jillian discover some problems with their relationship when Chris over-reacts to Jillian's colleague's comments about their doctor-patient relationship; and the captain reveals his hobby of collecting baseball cards.
