Leland is not in the best of moods. Although it's his birthday, the crews' heavy work schedule means there's no day off for him and he's suspicious of a "birthday surprise" practical joke. But after Dog and Beth present him with a tiny piece of banana cake with candles at the office Leland's fear of a practical joke fades. It is time to get to work, but the case they are working is not a happy one. They are revoking the bail of a Eugene, a chronic heroin addict. When they put him in jail last month he was ordered released on a technicality. Today they are going to revoke his bail, and make certain everything follows the letter of the law. They find him sharing a squalid apartment with a huge stockpile of syringes. Outside they see that his physical condition has deteriorated since his last arrest. Dog is afraid there may be a problem before they can get him into police custody, so they calls an ambulance to get him checked out. In a revealing exchange, Beth tells Eugene about her first husband's heroin addiction ruined his life, and she pleads with Eugene to let her help him get into rehab. After Eugene is booked into jail, Leland expresses relief that they didn't trick him like they did to Tim last year. But Leland couldn't be more wrong, Dog does have a surprise in store for him. The following morning Dog lures Leland to the Marina at 6:30 with the excuse that he has a hot lead on another fugitive. The whole team rushes onto a boat. Leland leads the charge and is greeted with a birthday cake. Instead of hunting fugitives they are heading out for a celebratory day of Marlin fishing.
