Summary

 * “Sì Se Puede”

Vice Detective Barbara Gianna first encounters Sergeant Angel Batista in a hotel room where he thinks that he’s meeting a prostitute. As she leads him on, Gianna notices his police badge. She discreetly warns Angel that it's a sting, and throws him out of the room.

The next day, at the station, Gianna warns Angel to stop disgracing the police. Finding her attractive, Angel later asks her out, but she refuses to go on a date with him because she’s “not hungry” and “rarely dates cops.” Gianna is also unsure if Angel is still involved with hookers.

One afternoon, as Angel is leaving the police station, he’s approached by a young woman.

"Amber: “‘Excuse me, Officer.” Angel: “Sergeant. How can I help you?” Amber: “I was just, uh, released for this legal thing.” Angel: “You were arrested.” Amber: “And released. Totally victimless. Only I live, like, a million miles away from here, and I really need a ride.” Angel: “How 'bout the bus?” Amber: “How 'bout you take me home and I think of some victimless way of saying thank you?” Angel: [pulls out his wallet, hands her cash] “I'll have Dispatch call you a cab.” Amber: “Just like that?” Angel: “Just like that.”"

From inside his car, Angel observes Amber making a phone call. Suddenly, his phone rings.

"Angel: [answering his cell] “Agent Batista.” Gianna: “Sergeant, Barbara Gianna here. So happens, uh... I'm hungry. Hungry enough to -- to see if you are too.” Angel: “Are you asking me out on a date, Detective?” Gianna: “I don't date, Sergeant. Ever. Marino's Trattoria, 7:30?” Angel: “Aren't you gonna ask me if I really turned over a new leaf? It could be I'm just not partial to redheads.” Gianna: (smiling) “I have no idea what you're talking about, Detective.” Angel: “I'll see you at 7:30.”"

An amused Angel understands that Gianna planted the hooker to test him.
