Romano, who once dated Amy, becomes involved with her again during the investigation of the robbery. At the precinct, they receive a tip about where the getaway van is hidden. When they arrive at the warehouse to investigate, several rounds of gunfire are exchanged and Nelson is killed. Romano has become more infatuated with Amy and discusses the robbery case with her. She, meanwhile, uses this information to set up the next robbery. While going through old records, Stacy discovers Harry Cort of Cort Furs had posted bail for Nelson several times and there was suspicion that Cort used to steal his own furs for insurance money.
