Dirty Laundry

Dirty Laundry is the fifth episode of the third season of NYPD Blue.

Summary
Fancy is less than enthused when Ronnie Drucker, a detective under surveillance by Internal Affairs, is assigned to the squad and Simone is asked to keep an eye on him. Both Drucker and Simone work on a case where an elderly man has been accused of exposing himself to a young boy. Sipowicz, Martinez, and Russell investigate the murder of a pimp in a laundromat which is witnessed by a young homeless woman who turns out to be Holly, the teenage runaway who helped the detectives out on a previous case. Meanwhile, John Irvin asks Sipowicz if he should approach Lesniak to congratulate her on "coming out." But she won't listen to his gay pride talk as does everyone else.
