Plot
Jake Peralta and Charles Boyle are walking back to the 99th Precinct after eating lunch when Jake realizes a man has been following them. Charles recommends they call it in so they can have backup but Jake has a different idea as he sees the Salt Lake City Lindas tour group in matching teal sweaters and hats heading towards them. As the man following them becomes disoriented by the large group of women Jake and Charles ambush him, dressed in the Salt Lake City Lindas. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a small action figure and explains that it is a gift for Nikolaj, Charles Boyle's adopted son. His name is Gintars and he is Nikolaj's birth father. Charles proceeds to faint.
