Throughout the Series

Season Six

In The Golden Child, David was invited to join his mother Camila for dinner with Amy and Jake. He arrived at Scanlon's Steakhouse an hour early before the set meeting time for the dinner. He is sharing a French Onion soup with his mom when Amy and Jake finally show up. During the dinner, he tells a story about how he saved a woman who Jake says is a famous actress who has won an Oscars. Also, during the dinner he discloses that he got a platinum certification in marksmanship because he was able to shoot ten bullets in the same hole and that he made Police Lieutenant with a perfect score on the exam for it. When Jake is choking on a dinner roll, David goes to save his brother-in-law with the Heimlich since he has certified EMT training. After signing autographs for some people in the restaurant, David's Captain shows up and requests to speak to him. He is informed that a large quantity of cocaine was discovered in his desk and that he has to be placed under arrest.

The next day, David calls Amy to bail him out of jail. Amy comes with Jake to Brooklyn Detention Complex to pick him up. Once in the car, he tells them that he's being framed by dirty cops who are being paid by the Brazilian mob. He says the cocaine was planted in this desk because he doesn't take drugs, nor even drink coffee, because he has too much respect for his body. He thanks Amy and Jake bailing him out and just asks them to drop him at home. He said he will clear his name on his own.
