This episode of K-Ville opens with Captain Embry telling Marlon and Cobb that they've been volunteered to have a New York Herald reporter as a ride along. Neither of them are real thrilled with the idea for their own reasons.

Cobb, of course, is worried about his secret coming out and Marlon is concerned that another outsider will come in with a bias and write an unflattering story about his city. We know there will be a nasty murder scene, there always is. How will this ride along affect how the guys do their job?

This episode of K-Ville begins in a Karaoke Bar on Bourbon Street. Almost the whole squad, minus Cobb, is drinking and listening to Marlon sing some Wilson Pickett “In the Midnight Hour”. Just as he is finished, they all get paged.

The crime scene is a warehouse with Mardi Gras floats and there are two dead bodies. The squad also finds a self proclaimed homeless guy hiding in one of the float heads. Marlon recognizes him as someone he saved during the floods of Katrina. The guy plays clueless as to what happened in the warehouse.

Previously on K-Ville, Charlie abandons his post during the flood, comes back, wants his job back, faces opposition from Marlon. He helps Marlon and Cobb with a case, is injured. Marlon eventually vouches for him and he gets his job back.

Tonight's case is about arson and a dead insurance adjuster. How do they connect? Will Cobb find romance while finding an arsonist and will Marlon's personal life continue to take a positive track? And how does Charlie figure in all of this?

K-Ville's body of the week is a plastic surgeon with a briefcase full of money that wasn't taken when the good doctor was bludgeoned to death. This week's story is about Dr. Steven Schmidt, his daughter Melissa and Marlon's childcare issues.

Marlon's wife is out of town tending to her sick father and left Latonya with her dad. All through the episode, he's late picking her up and he keeps promising her different animals from a puppy to a dragon. There is no doubt that Marlon loves his daughter, and that plays a big role in solving this weeks case.

After recaps, this episode of K-Ville opens with the guys getting a call. There is an armed robbery, possible car-jacking. When they get there, the victim is shot and the suspects run. They split up and chase them. Cobb catches one and announces it over the radio. The suspect recognizes him from his previous life and after catching Cobb by surprise, he overpowers him. When Glue Boy arrives, he's beaten by the guy and hurt badly. Before he loses consciousness, he kills the suspect.

It's Sunday morning in K-Ville and partners, Cobb (Cole Hauser) and Marlon (Anthony Anderson) are walking down the street on duty. Cobb offers to cover for Marlon for the rest of the shift, but Marlon turns him down saying his family was in church anyway. Cobb asks why he doesn't meet them there as a surprise, and Marlon again turns him down. I get the feeling that there's a story here ...

Just then the partners get a call. There was a 911 call from St. Lazarus church, possible shots fired and a possible hostage situation. St. Lazarus is Marlon's childhood church, but not his family's present parish. The police are confused when they hear singing come from the church.
