Plot[]
The team arrests Hank Shelton, a sick old man who took part in a series of bank robberies because he needed the money to be able to to live with his family until he died. Mac offers to head to the nearby pharmacy to pick up a prescription for the man, but he arrives in the middle of a robbery. Darius Cole fires at Mac, but Mac is able to take him down. A woman walks into the pharmacy, and Mac tells her to call 911. He turns his back, and the woman pulls out a gun and shoots him before killing the pharmacist.
The team is distraught, but they must focus on searching for the killer as the doctors work to save Mac’s life in the hospital. They discover that the woman who shot Mac is named Teena Milford, and she was dating Darius Cole. They head to her apartment to arrest her.
