Description :

When a pursuit of a criminal lands Nick in the hospital, Judy wonders if she made a mistake in pushing him to work with her in the ZPD, by putting the fox she cares so much about in constant danger. Nick lifts Judy’s spirits by reminding her of her own convictions as an officer of the law, and that while he might not be the top of the class like she is, he’s more than capable of standing his ground in their line of work.
