RECAP OF WEDNESDAY'S ARMED & FAMOUS
Before that, here's Trish's profile from their "cast" section:
http://www.cbs.com/primetime/armed_and_famous/
"Trish Stratus:
Trish Stratus, a renowned internation fitness model,
is best known for her success inside the ring, where
she's a former WWE [World Wrestling Entertainment]
champ. Stratus revolutionized the WWE Women's Division
with her unique combination of extraordinary
athleticism & "take no prisoners" attitude.
After high school, Stratus, a native Canadian, studied
biology & kinesiology at York University in Toronto
with dreams of going to medical school. Her
aspirations to become a doctor were put on hold when
her athletic skills & charisma made her a natural fit
for the WWE.
Soon after, she began her wrestling career with Vince
McMahon's WWE & went on to hold the WWE women's title
a record 7 times. She was crowned WWE's "Diva Of The
Decade" & as a regular on the WWE shows Raw &
Smackdown.
Stratus recently retired from wrestling after a 7 year
run but stays busy with her charity work with such
organizations as The Special Olympics & the Ronald
McDonald House. She's also the spokesperson for the
Sick Kids Foundation.
Stratus is married & currently lives in Toronto,
Canada. Her birth date is 12/18."
Now here's the recap from the "Episode" section of
episode 3:
"If He Starts Pointing The Gun? Do What You Were
Trained To Do.
Our 5 brave celebrities continue their journeys as
active police officers, with each 1 becoming more
comfortable in their uniform & on the beat.
The night begins as Officer Jason "Wee Man" Acuna &
his partner, Officer Scott O'Dell, get called to join
a pursuit of a drunk driver. When they arrive on the
scene, the young man's already out of his dented
vehicle & is being given a field sobriety test. In the
vehicle is the driver's 17 year old girlfriend, who's
completely unaware of the severity of the situation.
They soon discover the boyfriend not only appears to
be on something, but also is toting a 9mm handgun in
his pants & a sizable bag of marijuana in the car.
"Wee Man" questions the young lady, who had no idea
about the gun or drugs. "Wee Man" & O'Dell talk tough
to her & make sure she knows to be a lot more careful
in choosing whom she hangs out with. They let her go
in the custody of a neighbor, where she breaks down
crying. As for her boyfriend, "Wee Man" tells him
he'll be spending a cold night in jail.
Across town, Officer Erik Estrada & his partner
Officer Jami Brown, are called in to join a burglary
sting which has been set up by a tip from an
informant. They get briefed on the suspect, who has
designs on stealing a piece of construction equipment.
They learn he may be armed. Erik's given instruction
from his partner on how to work with the K9 unit
who've joined the sting just in case the perp runs. On
the scene, Estrada & Brown are directed to move in &
they catch the guy red handed. Erik commands him to
raise his hands & the thief seems to comply, but then
makes a run for it. The police dog's released & it
mercilessly snatches the poor sap in his jaws, but the
guy makes an even bigger mistake when he assumes
Officer Estrada's life has been more charmed than his
own. Estrada loses his cool & lets this guy know just
how wrong he is. It turns out Estrada was born poor &
worked his way out of a rough neighborhood. He hauls
the perp off to jail.
Meanwhile, Officer Trish Stratus is called in to
perform a pat-down on a female prostitute who's less
than compliant. Trish struggles with the handcuffs &
administers a sloppy search of the woman, which deeply
troubles her stoic partner, Officer Kyle Temple. Any
good officer knows how to stay safe in potentially
dangerous situations. In an effort to drive home just
how critical these pat-downs are, Temple takes Trish
to a memorial for slain officers & points to a name:a
friend & colleague of Temple's who got killed in the
line of duty when he missed a handgun while searching
a perp. It's a chilling moment, punctuated by Temple's
teary-eyed account of handling the officer's widow his
flag at the funeral. It's significance is not lost on
the rookie Stratus.
Next, Officer LaToya Jackson & her no-nonsense
partner, Officer Amy Kesler, pull up to a house to
find a spouse abuser with outstanding warrants for his
arrest. LaToya takes particular interest in busting
this guy. She opens up about her own past with an
abusive husband & talks forcefully to the abused woman
about stopping this pattern in her relationship before
it's too late. When the husband tries to act as if
he's not really that bad of a guy, Kesler lays into
him with some harsh criticism.
In another Muncie neighborhood, Officer Jack Osbourne
& his partner, Officer Damon Stovall respond to a
bloody domestic disturbance. They soon learn that the
blood isn't from a fight, but from the man's attempt
to bust back into his house after his girlfriend
locked him out in a drunken rage. Unfortunately for
the man, who ironically works in a ball bonds
business, he's got a warrant from some unpaid fines &
so the Officers take him in. Jack makes a crack about
the fact that given the guy's line of work, he'll be
out of jail in no time.
While on a break from patrol LaToya takes a moment to
phone home to her mother, who's worried about her
daughter's new gig as a crime-fighter. She fills Mrs.
Jackson in on how she's handlng her police work & even
lets her partner say "hello". Kesler lets Mrs. Jackson
know how great a police officer LaToya has become,
while Mrs. Jackson hangs up concerned that her
daughter's partner is a woman.
Later that night, Officers Erik Estrada & Officer Jami
Brown show up at a bar to break up a fight & upon
arrival they find an argry drunk man with a bloody
head. The drunkard is looking for payback, or at least
that's how it seems. Officer Estrada tries to calm the
victim down & find out what happened, but it proves to
be tough task since nobody admits to seeing what
happened. After some tense moments, the man admits
that he fell in the bathroom. Problem solved. Case
closed, or so they think. The drunk man then goes
after another man in the parking lot & Estrada & Brown
have to take him down.
Back for another night on the Muncie streets, we find
"Wee Man" as he rolls up on a few teenagers who're
participating in 1 of his favorite pastimes:
skateboarding. In fact when he's not an officer of the
law, "Wee Man" is a professional skateboarder. A kid
shows off a sweet move for Officer Acuna, who offers a
celebratory high-5 & stays true to the promise he made
himself-to not bust the kids for skating & instead
offers some words of encouragement over the police
cruiser's loudspeaker.
As the night progresses, Officers Osbourne & Stovall
go looking for Rebecca, a young woman who's wanted for
felony-grade cocaine possession & violation of parole.
They begin their search at Rebecca's last known
address, a house which, as Jack puts it, is "a weird,
weird place". Rebecca's nowhere to be found but the
scene sparks memories for Jack who, upon leaving,
confesses to his partner about having spent many a
night in places even worse than that back in his own
drug-addled days. As they continue to hunt for
Rebecca, Jack opens up to Stovall about how his family
intervened & he was able to get sober & stay sober. A
tip leads the cops to a hotel, or as Jack says it was
more like "a trashy hooker motel", where they
apprehend the young woman. The woman tearfully says
goodbye to her boyfriend & then begs Officer Osbourne
to help her get into a rehab. Jack's firm but
supportive & dispenses informed advice about getting
clean. But his duty remains & he must haul Rebecca in
to jail for her crimes.
Officer Stratus & her partner get a call about a fight
in progress. When they arrive on the scene it's
instantly clear that a belligerent young woman is the
cause of the ruckus. This provides Trish a chance for
redemption in her partner's eyes by showing him that
she can cuff & pat-down a suspect the proper way.
Temple's pleased by her performance, but that quickly
yields to shock when he gives the intoxicated woman a
breathalyzer test & watches the numbers steadily climb
to 3-times the legal limit.
Late into the night Officer Jackson gets a call
instructing her & her partner to give a police escort
to a woman who's giving birth in a car. They speed
down the street & arrive at the birthing center & help
the woman & her newborn baby safely inside. There's a
touching moment as LaToya hands the new father his
baby for the first time & we see a softer side of
Officer Kesler, who gets a bit choked up by the whole
experience.
Another night ends at the Sunrise Diner & our celebs
toast to LaToya & the newest Munsonian that LaToya
helped usher into the world. The next day at the
station LaToya gets a visit from the new mother. All's
well with her & the baby & they're thankful for the
help from Officer Jackson. The citizens of Muncie are
safer & smiling thanks to the ARMED & FAMOUS".
