Season 4 (1998–99)
Major cast and plot changes were made to the series at the beginning of season 4. Jonathan LaPaglia and Michael DeLorenzo departed at the end of the prior season (leading to the shooting death of Det. Tommy McNamara and the bombing death of Det. Eddie Torres), Patti D'Arbanville-Quinn was dropped from the cast (resulting in the departure of Lt. Virgina Cooper), and Malik Yoba and Lauren Velez's characters were re-assigned to a new unit, with new co-workers. Consequently, the nightclub Natalie's was eliminated as a regular setting, and the weekly musical guest appearances came to an end. As a result of all these changes, ratings for the show dramatically dropped forcing Fox to cancel the series, leaving the series finale "Catharsis" unaired until the series entered syndication in 1998; the episode aired on February 11, 1999.
