However, there's a problem when Eddie finds that the man hired to build the bar is Harvey Squires, his old nemesis from their days in the Navy together. After Eddie explains how Squires got him blamed for dealing in stolen government property, Nicolette announces that she's bringing the entire police force in for a retirement party. So in order to reopen in time, Malcolm has no choice but to keep Squires on the job. When pressed by Malcolm, Eddie agrees to stop complaining provided that Squires apologize. Told of the demand, Squires insists that it's Eddie who should apologize. Recalling their Navy days together, goes on to paints a completely different picture of Eddie, who he says got him wrongly accused of gambling in their barracks. And when Eddie refuses to apologize, Squires quits, jeopardizing Malcolm's chances to reopen for the party. So Eddie steps in and builds a new bar himself -- one he fashions out of old car parts. When the new bar fails to work, Malcolm sees that the only way to reopen is to settle the disagreement between Eddie and Squires. Asking Nicolette to bring in a lie detector, he discovers that both Eddie and Squires appear to be telling the truth. And that's when the two sworn enemies realize that the person responsible for them being jailed was their barracks-mate, Zelman McBride. However, when Squires heads off to get revenge on McBride, Malcolm is still left without the new bar after the carpenter decides to reopen the old Jelly Roll Club himself.
