 Over the course of the season, Van Buren appears to come to accept Cassady as a detective, at least up until the season finale "The Family Hour", during which old tensions resurface.Cassady botches an interrogation by losing her temper and goading a suspect who was close to a confession; the suspect is enraged to the point that he throws a chair through a glass window.Van Buren chastises her for acting unprofessionally even after eight months on the job, suggesting that Cassady will not have a future in homicide at the 27th Precinct after all.
