Bakersfield P.D.

Paul and Wade search for a con artist -- not helped by a police sketch artist whod rather be drawing celebrities -- while the rest of the force prepare for their annual psychiatric evaluation.

Sgt. Hamptons out of town, so an indecisive Capt. Stiles decides to make Paul his right-hand man -- and decision -maker.

Paul tells Wade the very personal reason he had for moving his family to Bakersfield, and it doesnt take much detective work for the other officers to learn the secret.

During a sting, Capt. Stiles hides in a restroom rather than deal with a madams black book containing the names of several influential johns.

Wade is overwhelmed when one of his crimeshow heroes ( Joe Santos of The Rockford Files) visits the station to r eport the theft of his car radio, and persuades him to participate in the real-life investigation; meanwhile, Paul feels the strain of his long distance marriage.

A thief is released from prison and comes to Bakersfield to exact revenge on Capt. Stiles, the man who caught him 10 years earlier.

The city is up in arms, so to speak, when a severed limb is found in the civic water supply.

Paul and Wade seek a missing psychic; a secretary has cosmetic surgery.
