As a result, nothing in the main story had any staying power at hour's end. Neither the judge nor his clerk were particularly deep characters and they never fulfilled much of a narrative role other than being there so the plot could end. In and of themselves, the action scenes and the eureka moments that lead the detectives from one point in the case to the next are serviceable, but the episode's end feels somewhat anticlimactic. The damning evidence is found in his car, bringing about the episode's ending. Some higher ups attempt to stop Voight and his boys from getting to the judge, and then the trail leads to his clerk. It turns out none of the thugs is the main ringleader and the trail starts to change direction towards a particular judge who gave Blue and the two brothers parole and tried to stop a court order. This is a police procedural and it's formulaic by its very definition, but there's a decent amount of effort puts towards mixing things up and subverting our expectations, helping to elevate the show above the genre mold. So when we hear a shot go off and the action cuts away before we know who got shot, we know it's not going to be Olinsky but there's a certain artistry to the cutaway anyway.
As soon as he gets the drugs back, the gangster tries to pull a fast one on him only to have his plans backfire because, well, Olinsky's not gonna die midseason if Elias Kosteas' agent has any say about it. One of the brothers tags along with Kosteas in his car to make sure he's keeping his side of the bargain.
