Webb has a big dinner with Nova and her brother.

Stabler insists Eli stay at the table til dinner is finished. Bernie says Papa Joe would have boxed Elliot's ears if he'd rolled his eyes like that.

Webb offers to donate money to charity. Nova tells her brother not to take his money and don't tell Mom and Dad.

Bernie wonders why Eli is so interested in Papa Joe all of a sudden. Elliot asks Bernie the story behind the Combat Cross. She doesn't know anything and gets upset. No one trusted her with their secrets. Don't tell her that he's cheating, that he's suspended. She denies the next second that Joe got suspended and says don't question your father or he'll do worse than he did to that perp.

Then he reports back to Bell and Jet. Jet also tells him three reports corroborate that his father was a good cop.

Nova's brother talks to Bell and Denise about christening the baby. Denise thinks the fact that Nova is his sister means it's meant to be as she was also offered a job with Kilbride. Bell wonders why she didn't tell her.

Bell doesn't want Denise to take this job and says Jack is too young. Denise disagrees and is hurt Bell doesn't support her dream job.

Donnelly says his dad and Stabler's dad did their thing in this bar. He insists all cops were corrupt back then.

Shapiro has approved them for a wire. She and Stabler will be at a coffee shop and Jet needs to quickly set up a wiretap.

Stabler says he will keep Donnelly busy. He comes home and Bernie seems upset and says Stabler is nothing like Joe and should stop investigating himself.

Stabler and Santos go to a coffee shop. Santos doesn't want any coffee.Stabler tries to stall while Jet breaks into the car. Santos wants to get moving out. Bell tells as soon as Maldanado gets there she has to. Maldonado arrives. There is no connection though. Santos doesn't want to stay.

Santos freaks out at seeing a ticket on his windshield. Stabler tells him to relax.

Bell listens in as Santos and Stabler talk in the car. Donnelly shows up and wants to be in on the heist. Donnelly insists on hearing the plan. Santos tells him. Santos leaves and Donnelly thanks Stabler for looping him in. He explains that Santos' daughter has leukemia and insurance is maxed out.

Her brother says you can't put yourself above Webb. Nova tells him she is undercover and investigating Webb. Her brother says Daddy wouldn't want this. He died in the line of duty. He won't tell Nova who killed him.

Santos kisses his child and his wife.. There is a knock on the door. It's Bell and a bunch of cops. Santos is arrested.

Stabler knocks on a door. It's Cragen.

Cragen didn't know Joe Stabler well. But he says Joe was a tough man in a tough situation. Yes, there were bad cops, but that was the world his father worked in. He says Joe was a great cop in his day. Maybe he gave Stabler the medal to tell him to be better than he was.
