Dirty Socks is the seventeenth episode of the second season of NYPD Blue.
Summary[]
Simone deals with an emotionally fragile woman, named Joyce Novak, whom is a witness for a double-murder when she keeps changing her story, for she is really only interested in flirting with him. Meanwhile, Sipowicz participates in the investigation where a family-run business, that he used to work in, is held up and the owner's wife is killed. After Donna leaves town for a long vacation (and to get away from the annoying Medavoy), her temporary replacement, John Irvin, is a flamboyantly gay man whom Simone used to know from his old precinct. But Irvin makes the whole the station, including the bigoted Sipowicz, uncomfortable. Also, Martinez enters in a police department boxing tournament.
