In the episode entitled “The Things We Didn’t Plan,” when William is hired to clean up a cop who’s addicted to drugs, he must find the best way to handle an addict who’s armed and might not like his unconventional methods. Meanwhile, Akani searches for a shelter for a homeless woman and her dog, and Swenton tries to help an alcoholic father and his 10-year-old daughter. Lori Petty guest stars.
