CHRISTMAS BRINGS FORTH GUSHER OF VARIED EMOTIONS AS SULLY SAVES GIRL AND MONROE SCAVENGES FOR RARE TOY -- As the final days before Christmas tick off, Offficer Sully (Skipp Sudduth) rushes into a fiery house and saves an orphaned but feisty 12-year-old girl (guest star Lily Kershaw) whom he befriends while Officer Monroe (Nia Long) desperately scrounges for a popular doll for her nephew. While searching for the rare toy, Bosco (Jason Wiles) arrests a store Santa and the pair take pity on a teary-eyed man whose gifts for his five kids are stolen on Christmas Eve. Elsewhere, Carlos (Anthony Ruivivar) avoids the man (guest star Adam Beach) who claims to be his long-lost brother while his embittered partner Doc (Michael Beach) struggles with his abject loneliness on the holiday. Coby Bell, Eddie Cibrian and Kim Raver also star. TV-14
