This takes place in the week following S4E5: The Search. If unfamiliar, here’s a brief summary: Nighttime. The boys are called to a 211 (robbery) at a grocery store. Reed nabs one of the men while the other drives off; Malloy hops in the squad car and follows. Their radio has been malfunctioning so when Pete updates his location, nobody can understand what he says. Pete crashes the car, breaking a leg and possibly having internal injuries. Sergeant McDonald, after a few hours of his team’s sweep of the park, tells them to head elsewhere; Reed, however, won’t give up—he knows Malloy is in the park. Pete’s able to signal SOS using the broken radio and Jim hears it. The episode ends when Jim locates Pete; Pete is lying still on the ground and Jim feels for his pulse. Pete squints up, smiles faintly, and murmurs “Partner.” The end. Undoubtedly, at least in my mind, Reed would check up on Malloy daily during his recovery. The following scene is my attempt to describe one of those check-ups.
