Summary

 * "Those Kinds of Things"

Debra and Joey Quinn are on a date, drinking beer in Don Aldo’s. She tells him he's been acting weird lately. When he denies it, she points out that he's about to "drink the candle." Deb doesn’t realize that Quinn is trying to work up the courage to ask her to marry him.

Quinn excuses himself and goes into the restroom to calm down. As he practices proposing in the mirror, a gunman enters the restaurant and begins shooting up the place. Debra reacts instantly, draws her own weapon, and returns fire. She hits the man several times, but he doesn't go down. She realizes the gunman is wearing Kevlar so she aims for his legs, and hits her target. She quickly runs over and tackles him.

Quinn hears the shooting and hurries out of the restroom. When he sees what’s going on, he helps Deb hold down the gunman. Once the shooter is in handcuffs, Debra notices that she has been grazed on her side by a bullet.

It turns out that a customer videotaped Deb’s shoot-out and it goes viral. This leads to Captain Thomas Matthews choosing Deb to become the new Lieutenant instead of Angel Batista.

In the aftermath of the shooting, Debra must meet with therapist, Dr. Michelle Ross.
