The story

Cynical NYPD Lieutenant John Moss pursues a serial killer known as the "Party Crasher" through a local nightclub, but fails to prevent the murder of a local drug dealer.

Nick uses his connections to become Moss's ride-along partner posing as an experienced detective.

While initially dismissive, Nick surprises Moss during a date with Susan and her daughter, both impressing Susan and offering lots of praise for Moss.
