The exploits of a group of men and women who serve the City of New York as police officers, firemen, and paramedics in the fictional 55th Precinct. In one of the last episodes, Cruz tells that it is indeed leukemia that is killing her, not some STD given to her in some rape, like the other commenter has speculated. She seeks some unorthodox, holistic care from some dancing folks.<br/><br/>The series might've been better had the last episode featured a unicorn flying down from the sky with a monopoly board tattooed on its side, and a flag of some sort being dragged behind it. Then the unicorn could've swooped up Cruz, and taken her to some sort of lake where she escapes the vile life of New York and magically heals herself. Or maybe it was pretty good how it ended for real. Maybe we could start writing to A&E (Arts and Entertainment) to keep up production of "Third Watch", since they saw fit to pick it up in reruns. They only carry the highest quality programming, quite evident by their choice to air "Third Watch" more than once a day. But then again, as much as I love the show, I would much rather see it go out in a blaze of glory with reruns available than to see the demise of the characters and contents through the years to come. NBC, shame on you! You had the best show in a Friday night slot. I wish the best for the cast and crew and look forward to seeing them on the small screen again real soon. Our thoughts are with you.
