Hearts and Souls
"Hearts and Souls" is the fifth episode of the sixth season and 115th overall of the American crime drama ''NYPD Blue''. "Hearts and Souls" originally aired in the United States on ABC on Tuesday November 24, 1998, at 9:30 pm Eastern time as a 90-minute special. The episode was directed by Paris Barclay and written by Steven Bochco, David Milch, Bill Clark and Nicholas Wootton. It was the culmination of months of public speculation on the method of closure that would be employed to write Jimmy Smits's critically acclaimed Bobby Simone character out of the regular cast and clear the way for Smits' replacement, Rick Schroder. "Hearts and Souls" was a critical and commercial success, achieving both high ratings and positive critical feedback and is now regarded as one of the greatest television episodes in television history. It marked the second high-profile replacement of the partner for lead character, Detective Andy Sipowicz, played by Dennis Franz.
At the 51st Primetime Emmy Awards, this episode won awards for Direction for Paris Barclay and Guest Actress for Debra Monk as well as a nominations in Writing for Steven Bochco, David Milch, Bill Clark and Nicholas Wootton. Barclay also won a Directors Guild of America Award. The episode also won an Eddie Award and a Banff Rockie Award as well as a Cinema Audio Society Award nomination.
This was Smits' last regular appearance as Simone, although he returned for one scene in an episode during the twelfth season. The episode highlights his rapid and mysterious physical demise, which has culminated in his need for a heart transplant. Many emotional portrayals are included to represent the feelings of loved ones, friends and colleagues when someone that they care about is suddenly in dire medical need. In another storyline, the episode simultaneously highlights the stress that can be caused when alcoholism afflicts a family through a critically acclaimed guest appearance by Debra Monk as the ex-wife of Sipowicz.
==Plot==
The episode begins with a special five-minute extended "Previously on ''NYPD Blue''" segment that retraces Simone's (Jimmy Smits) whole character history.〔〔 The final portion of the prolog presents Lt. Arthur Fancy's (James McDaniel) prior episode persuasion of a police widow to directly donate her husband's heart to give Simone a chance to live.〔 The regular portion of the episode begins after the completed heart transplant.〔 The episode focuses on whether Simone's heart transplant was successful. It starts ten days after the heart transplant with his anticipated hospital release.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYPD Blue: Hearts and Souls )〕 Simone's recovery is hampered by an internal chest infection, which leaves him weakened.〔 The doctors attempt diagnosis of the infection and weakness, which appear to be minor,〔 with tests.〔 Tensions run high in the department from almost the beginning of the episode. Greg Medavoy (Gordon Clapp) has a scene where his verbal aggression with a citizen complainant provides a respite and represents the frustration and helplessness of Simone's friends and colleagues.〔 James Martinez' (Nicholas Turturro) generally good manners are also tested.〔 Sipowicz displays deep emotions to his wife ADA Sylvia Costas (Sharon Lawrence).〔〔 The doctors differ in their opinions of which treatment to use. One advises Simone and wife Diane Russell (Kim Delaney) to pursue surgery, while another advises natural progression.〔 Sipowicz's (Dennis Franz) ex-wife Katie (Debra Monk) catches him offguard by appearing at the station drunk and asking for his help. She is preparing a pro se defense against DWI charges, but when Sipowicz is about to respond with assistance, she slips away.〔〔 The personal turmoil drags him away from his compassionate watch.〔 When he is distracted, Simone's health deteriorates to the point where his demise seems imminent.〔 Dr. Carreras suggests ending the suffering, while Dr. Swan disagrees, but Carreras believes his sentiment is masking office politics that govern how statistics are attributed to various departments.〔 Russell is conflicted on which doctor to take advice from.〔〔 Sipowicz manages his wife's crisis by negotiating agreed Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.〔 After Simone receives his last rites,〔〔 his colleagues say their goodbyes, while Simone dreams aloud of his mentor Patsy Farrara. In Simone's waking dream, Patsy acts as a medium, helping Simone transition out of life. In the end, with his wife Russell by his side, Simone fades away, and the screen fades to white (as opposed to black).〔
