    "Fire '77" finds Yemana earnestly stirring a Japanese delicacy called shabu shabu, which stinks up the precinct the longer it simmers. When Wojo indicates that it smells like garbage, Nick lists the ingredients- fish heads, cabbage leaves, cucumber rinds, and celery tops (Yemana: "come to think of it, that is garbage!"). Howard Platt (second of five) and K Callan play two suicide cases that failed to carry out their double act, she by jumping, he by revolver (Dietrich: "reports of her death have been greatly exaggerated!"). Sal Viscuso (second of four) plays Thomas Vitella, arrested for trying to steal from a church plate. An escapee from Rikers Island, he has no intention of going back, igniting a fire in the mens room that Barney initially mistakes for Yemana's lunch. The aftermath finds no one injured except perhaps Fish's pride, having to conduct himself in the restroom without a door. Dietrich casually deadpans, in his usual distinctive style: "hi Fish, been quite a day hasn't it?" Barney is the first to taste Nick's lunch, amazed that it tastes 'pretty good.' Yemana is less enamored ("my God, I wonder what went wrong?").
