Plot Overview
On the eve of a visit from his younger sister, Ponch gets into a very scary situation when, during the pursuit of a drunken driver, he loses control of his bike and goes crashing through the front door of a closed antique store into a curio cabinet, winding up trapped under a pile of broken glass. The other officers arrive to get the display case and broken shards off of Ponch, but the incident leaves him reluctant to get on his bike. Interestingly, Ponch's sister, who graduated at the top of her class in nursing, throws him for a loop when she says she wants to pursue modeling instead of nursing. Both siblings try to offer encouragement and support to one another, and it takes saving a man's life during a medical emergency to convince both of them that they need to continue on the paths they are already on.
