Gillis feels guilty over a shooting
Jimmy_the_Gent412 December 2018
Warning: Spoilers
Willie shoots and kills a young man who turns out to be unarmed.

A good episode, though it gets a bit preachy and unrealistic by the end. It starts with a funny domestic call with a drunken husband and hysterical wife. The wife tells Willie he knows nothing about life since he is a baby. Willie's reply "I read a lot" Later on the next call, in a dark school hallway, Willie hears popping and flashes of light from a burglary suspect, he fires back, which later proves fatal. The flashing and popping was from a camera. He gets mysterious phone calls from a girl telling him he is not responsible. It turns out the real culprit was a friend of the victim who accidentally shot him. Willie talks the guy out of shooting again in the far fetched ending.
