Relationship With 15th Precinct Commanders
When a Borough Commander named Haverill (played by James Handy) planned to have Fancy removed from the 15th for fabricated reasons, Andy Sipowicz blackmailed the Commander over an unsolved mob murder to leave Fancy alone. Haverill would later start an IAB witch hunt on Detective John Kelly, one of Fancy's best detectives. Haverill got a full investigation going and then provoked Kelly into committing an act of insubordination as a means of transferring him out of the squad permanently. Kelly decided to surrender his badge instead of accepting a humiliating demotion to a Dispatcher position, much to the regret of Fancy. Haverill later tried another scheme to wreck Fancy's career through an informant who helped Fancy earn his Detective's Gold Shield. Fancy uncovered the plan, and got the informant to record Haverill calling Fancy a "nigger" and trying to cause Fancy's informant to set Fancy and Sipowicz on a bogus bust as a means of taking their badges. After preventing the robbery of an armored car, Fancy played the recording for Haverill and gave him two choices- early retirement or a civil trial. Haverill angrily took the retirement option. Haverill's replacement Captain Bass, a veteran of patrol would often disagree with Fancy but the two got along much better for the most part than Haverill and Fancy.

“Christianity as an organized religion has not always had a harmonious relationship with the family. Unlike Judaism, it kept almost no rituals that took place in private homes. The esteem that monasticism and priestly celibacy enjoyed implied a denigration of marriage and parenthood.”
—Beatrice Gottlieb, U.S. historian. The Family in the Western World from the Black Death to the Industrial Age, ch. 12, Oxford University Press (1993)
“Artists have a double relationship towards nature: they are her master and her slave at the same time. They are her slave in so far as they must work with means of this world so as to be understood; her master in so far as they subject these means to their higher goals and make them subservient to them.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
