After two seasons of being a reliable, good-natured presence, Angel Batista steps into the spotlight. Zayas brings a weary nobility to the character, who finally achieves his dream of becoming a Sergeant. However, his promotion forces him to navigate the messy office politics he previously ignored. Zayas shines in the quieter moments, portraying a man desperately trying to do the right thing in a precinct where the "right thing" is becoming increasingly blurry. His promotion serves as a stark contrast to Miguel Prado’s moral decay.
