Pacific Blue

Ambitious police officer Chris Kelly is introduced to the Bike Patrol after she's transferred from the P.R. Department of the Santa Monica Police Department. T.C. Callaway, at a crossroads with his long term girlfriend, faces additional family pressure to quit the force and join the family business in Newport Beach. The entire unit is on the trail of a vicious car-jacker working the beach area.

An anti-technology terrorist is setting bombs around the beach, and will only let T.C. and Victor dismantle them. He wants all power in Santa Monica shut down for twelve hours on the first of the month. An FBI agent comes in to assist the unit, butting heads with Palermo by making Chris his liaison. In the end, it's the Bike Patrol -- and not the FBI -- that discovers the bomber's true plan is to use the blackout to pull a multi-million dollar bank heist. While this is happening, T.C.'s girlfriend Sandy returns to live with him, with the condition that he not tell her anything about his job so she won't worry. But the agreement ends up making things harder on both of them.

While off-duty, T.C. confronts a man carrying a gun in a parking lot. The man whirls and fires at T.C., T.C. returns fire, killing him, but the man turns out to be an undercover police officer with a spotless record. When an investigation reveals that T.C. didn't identify himself as a police officer when he approached the man, T.C.'s left with suspension and the possibility he's killed a completely innocent man. T.C.'s brother, TEDDY, has a gambling problem which comes to light when he's accused of masterminding the hold-up of a high-stakes poker game. Chris' building is going condo at the end of the month. She reluctantly accepts Cory's offer to be roommates, remembering that their first roommate experience almost ended in a double homicide... each other.

T.C. Callaway marries Chris Kelly in Las Vegas and takes over command of the bike patrol. After taking Russ Granger and Jamie Strickland, two raw recruits with attitude from the police academy, T.C. co-opts Bobby Cruz, a young Hispanic who has had previous problems with excessive violence while an L.A.P.D. officer, and a young, ambitious, sexy climber named Monica Harper to round out his new young team. Their first case takes them undercover to a college campus where a chemistry professor is moonlighting as a manufacturer of methamphetamine and his daughter is involved with students and bikers who are distributing the drugs.

Pacific Blue's season opener picks up from the cliffhanger season-ender, ""The Right Thing,"" in which Bobby Cruz and the three other rookie cops were arrested for withholding evidence in the murder of gang conciliator, JOHN PATRONE. The entire unit is pressured by IA officer SUSAN JESSUP, as BRUCE BEST is tried for the killing with Bobby Cruz as an accessory before Santa Monica's notorious hanging judge, J. GUNNAR HALLORAN.
