To impress his ex-girlfriend, Scott and Hooch must protect a grumpy judge from a mob assassin.
This episode had two running storylines the first and most central one was Scott Turner (Josh Peck) and Xavier (Brandon Jay McLaren) assigned to protect Judge Nelson (Tom Pickett) after death threats are received in response to a high-profile case, Jessica Baxter (Carra Patterson) is officially on desk duty which is why this team-up happens. The interesting thing about this episode is Scott’s and Laura’s (Lyndsy Fonseca) story running simultaneously and the theme of dealing with an ex while working towards their professional goals.
Judge Nelson is the absolute worst, needy, not thankful, and unkind. His requests are wild and that of a sociopath. Surprisingly Hooch has gotten Turner into any trouble up to this point and the reason could be that Hooch is paying attention to what Turner is paying attention to. For example, Erika’s (Vanessa Lengies) dog Angel staring at Turner. Amongst all these ridiculous requests Turner decides to share his feelings with the judge, leading himself into a big ‘ole pile of required community service.

Laura is trying to get her ex-husband to help her track down some files to help uncover more mysteries about their father’s case. She gets caught up in the childish tendencies of her ex-husband and stress ensues. She’s tired of being the ” vegetable mom” the one parent that has to say no to everything when it comes to raising their kid. Eventually, the two come to a parental agreement and he shares the files with Laura.
Meanwhile, snipers are still targeting the judge and putting him and the security detail in grave danger. Luckily, Turner and Xavier start to piece together the possibility of how the judge is being tracked (a tracker placed in his robe!) and how Hooch seems to be at attention at certain points (the frequency from the tracker is heard by only Hooch!). So, Erica in tow, they race off to protect the judge one last time before heading into the courthouse.
