But before Gormley moves into his new position, he temporarily reassigns some of his squad's partners, including Danny and Baez (Marisa Ramirez), when one detective comes out as gay and his partner refuses to work with him. Meanwhile, Jamie (Will Estes) volunteers to temporarily partner up with a cop at his squad who's been labeled a rat for testifying against her former partner.
