Before Mahoney leaves, a riot starts downtown due to the unintentional bumbling of recruit Douglas Fackler. Mahoney helps the cadets pacify the crowd. The cadets are accidentally transported to the epicenter of the rioting. During the general confusion, one criminal steals Blankes and Copeland's cadet revolvers, and the two cops end up (to their horror) hiding out in the Blue Oyster Bar. Barbara runs past Harris and a gang surrounds him, with their group leader taking Harris as a hostage. While running, Barbara encounters his former tormentors from civilian life, who are apparently stealing furniture and electronics out of a building. They attempt to intimidate Barbara and order him to leave, but Barbara kicks their asses, only for them to meekly tell him that the items are their own property that they were moving to safety.
