"Authorized Interview Report?"

Dr. Thompson wants us
to fill one out

after any contact we have.

I had his back,
he had mine.

That's not what
Detective Abed said

in his report
to Professional Standards.

We should celebrate.

It's a Rage Room.

Sharing information
with police officers

and talking to family
isn't bias.

Praying over bodies,
talking to a survivor?

Oh, I'm concerned you
are blurring the lines.

Mom?

How are we out of lettuce?
Mom?!

- Yeah?
- How are we out of lettuce?

What?

Oh, what are you doing?

I'm saving my tomatoes.

So, is uh... yeah,
is-is this lettuce?

You run an online food
kitchen,

and you don't know
what lettuce looks like?

- Not when it's in the ground.
- Grab it by the stem.

Whoa, hey, that is a cabbage!

That's a cabbage, that is...

here, back up.
- No.

Yes.

Here.

You ever uh...

you ever think about going
to culinary school?

Culinary school would just
make me like everybody else.

Right, I'm-I'm unique,
I'm self-taught.

Yeah, but you know,
there's, there is more

to running a business than
just, you know, making a menu.

I know.

After all, you did almost
kill my assistant.

Mom, don't--

Don't worry, okay?
I got this.

You know parenting
is worrying, right?

It's like watching
your heart walk around

outside of your body.

Sounds gross,
and unsustainable.

It's terrifying.

Mama! Mama!

Mama! Mama!

Mama!

Mamaaaaaa!

Mama!

No!

Hey.

What do we have here?

Ten-month-old infant.
Simon.

They tried to resuscitate him
on the way to the hospital,

but, um...

This job, some days.

Uh, the kitchen was fully
stocked, baby food,

everything, so...

it looks like Simon
and his sister's basic needs

were taken care of.

There's no choking hazards
in the crib, either.

Did you see any signs
of abuse

when you examined the body?

Uh, well, he was pale
and dehydrated,

but there was no visible
bruising or signs of illness.

So many of these infant
deaths I've worked

have been ruled "undetermined."

Well, infant autopsies
can be tricky.

Evidence of illness
or injury can be...

can be subtle.

I need to bring
his giraffe stuffie!

I have to find it!

I need to find it!

The ER doctor declared
Simon deceased.

No, he-he can't go anywhere
without it!

He can't! Just can't.

Where did you last see it?

Last night.

I-I would-I wouldn't let him
take it in the bath.

I just...

he didn't understand why.

You know that look kids get?

When life is unfair?

I think so, yeah.
Let me help you find it, okay?

Okay.

Where is it?

Do you know who found him?

His mother.

Max Williams.

She manages at her local
grocery store.

Is there anybody else
in the picture?

She have a partner?
- Single parent.

Imagine going through
this alone.

A lot of marriages don't
survive the death of a child.

Yeah, my parents' didn't.

Just tell them to wait
until I find Simon's giraffe.

Okay?

Why didn't I just let him
bring it in the bath?

- Oh!
- I didn't let him.

- Is this it?
- No, that's a tiger.

Yeah, it's a tiger.

Oh God!

No!

Where is it? No!

It couldn't...

I can't--
Where is it?

It's okay.

I...
where is it?

Oh God!

Do you mind if I ask you
a few questions?

- What time did you find Simon?
- Um...

maybe 6:30, uh...

Serena and I were reading.

Um, enjoying the, the quiet
before Simon woke up.

Okay.

Do you remember,
was he breathing?

No.

And was he warm or was
he cool to the touch?

- He was-he was warm.
- He was warm, okay.

Oh my God, he was-
he was still so warm.

And when I...

I called the ambulance, but...

the ER doctor said...

he said we were too late.

Max, do you remember,
was he on his back

or was he on his chest
when you found him?

Oh God! Oh, it was me!
Was it--

Did I forget to put him
on his back?

Was that me?
Is that-is that what happened?

Is that what happened?

- Was he sick at all?
- Yes-no. Yes.

No, no.

He had colic.

Colic? Isn't he a little
old for colic?

No.

The doctor said
he was within range.

Max?

What time did you put him down?

Uh... maybe uh, seven.

Seven. Okay. And did you
check on him at all?

No, I don't...

I don't know why I didn't.

No, wait, I did. Um...

I posted about it.

That's at dinner.

And... that's him asleep.

- May I?
- Yeah.

The baby has his own
social media account?

He had a thousand followers.

Um, I wanted to start him early,

so he could have that.

The time stamp says
7 p.m., but...

is that when you put him down
or when you checked on him?

When I checked on him.

You-you can't be here,
this is a crime scene.

Okay.

Cassidy James.

Child Welfare Agency.

Donovan.

What are you doing here?

You can't just barge into a
sensitive interview like that.

CWA has an open file
on Max Williams,

I'm surprised you're not more
interested in what we know.

Okay, just-I know this is
a heated case,

but we just need to pause
for a second.

Why did they open the file?

Two days ago someone called
in an anonymous tip to CWA

that Simon had been crying
for days.

Police did a welfare check,

but left convinced
the baby had colic.

Okay, we just searched the
scene, and nothing stood out

as suspicious.
- Except that Simon is dead.

We can still get Serena
to safety.

There's no proof
that she's at risk.

Proof is for trial! CWA needs
to be safe, not sorry.

Okay, this wouldn't be
the first time

that your agency's profiled
a Black family.

That's not what's
going on here.

All I need is a coroner ruling
of parental neglect.

Yeah, well, I need to pursue
all evidence.

I mean, there's witness
interviews, medical history,

autopsy, Child Welfare.

If you rule Simon's death
accidental and you're wrong,

Serena could be next.

Well, if I rule neglect
and I'm wrong,

then I'm gonna re-victimize
a family that's grieving.

I need time.

We need to get this right.
Okay?

There's no room for mistakes.

Thank you.
Excuse me.

What was that about?

Cassidy is...

my ex-wife.

Here let me just--

Do you like this one?

I don't know where it is!
I just don't know where it is.

Hey Max, Serena shouldn't be
here for this.

I just--

Is there somewhere
she can go?

She's safe with me, and um...

I'm not gonna let her out
of my sight.

Okay. I know she is, Max,

but the Child Welfare Agent
said

that she has to go somewhere
else until we figure out

what happened to Simon.

Child Welfare?

No. No!

Look, is there,
is there someone you trust?

A family member or a friend?

She's never spent a night
without her brother.

And I'm all she has left.

Okay. Hey...

then help me keep her close.

Uh, Andrea, next door.

She baby-sits when I have
to work nights at the store.

Okay.
Mommy!

I'm sorry.

Normally I come over to avoid
messing up the kids' routine.

You're close with the family.

There's nothing I wouldn't
do for them.

Both of them.

And for Max?

How do you feel about her?

I wouldn't raise a child
on social media, personally.

Simon and Serena didn't
have much of a say

on whether or not their whole
childhood was public.

It obviously wasn't for them.

You think Max liked
the attention?

I think what was inside
the pictures

didn't exactly reflect
what was outside the frame.

- Hey.
- Hey, what's up?

So how'd it go
with the babysitter?

Oh, she implied that Max was
too obsessed with social media

to parent her child.

It's not exactly a glowing
character reference, huh?

Ah, people tend to blame
each other during a crisis.

But if Simon wasn't getting the
medical attention he needed,

that's a contributing factor.

See, I don't think that's it.
Look at this.

Max took Simon to the doctor
an awful lot.

She would post about
each visit.

She got tons of support online.

Parents would weigh in
with tips and ideas.

Like, hundreds of times a day.

Was she looking for help
with Simon?

Trying to crowdsource
a diagnosis?

Or I could've guessed, she
was getting a hit of dopamine

for every sympathy post.

Yeah, we need to talk
to that doctor.

Jenny'll want Simon's
full medical record,

so I'll get her
to meet me there.

Yeah, I'll uh...
I'll text you the address.

All right, thanks.

Hey Mac, um...

are you-are you gonna ask
Waylen to reassign me?

Let's just keep it
professional, man.

We don't need to be more
than that.

Cool. Yeah.

Catch you later, man.
- All right.

Dr. Morrow, Max said that
your diagnosis was colic.

Which I explained
will go away on its own.

Could Simon's colic have been
masking another illness?

What's going on, Detective?

Simon was found dead
this morning.

I had no idea.

We're gonna need to see all
of his medical records,

so that I can determine
cause of death.

Are those all for
Simon Williams?

He was in here all the time.

I treated him for irritability,

then lethargy,
then constipation,

all normal baby ailments.

His immune system was more
than a match for.

But Max catastrophized
every sneeze and sniffle,

pushing me for a more
extreme diagnosis.

So I started treating her
for anxiety.

Simon wasn't sick.

Max is.

What was she like
when she'd come in here?

She was taking selfies
with the staff,

bringing in cookies,

try to pass herself off
as medically knowledgeable.

So you're saying that she was
medically over-involved?

Would she make recommendations
for surgeries,

for treatments?

Yes.

She was worried about him not
gaining weight fast enough.

I thought she was just
attention starved,

being a single mom, but uh...

but looking back...

this is a textbook case

of Munchausen Syndrome
by Proxy.

So every time that Simon
would get sick,

she'd get praised online
for it.

Simon had to keep getting
sicker and sicker

to keep that up.
- You think she went too far.

I knew she was sick,

but I never thought
she would hurt him.

No clean breaks
or injuries.

I'm not seeing any
trace of a virus, either.

What about asphyxiation?

No, no evidence of cyanosis
in the tissues.

You failed to fill out your
interview form again, Jenny.

The tox screen in yet?

Uh, yeah, clean
for barbiturates,

amphetamines, and opioids.

Nothing from his vomit
and urine samples.

Okay, let's widen the search
for the weird stuff.

Ipecac could've caused
the vomiting.

Or maybe Mom was dosing him
with her anti-anxiety meds.

I'll add anxiolytics
to the tox screen.

Add any documented agents
in Munchausen by Proxy.

How did you know we were
pursuing Munchausen by Proxy?

Dennis, are you updating Eli
on my case?

I asked him to keep me
apprised.

Don't do that, don't ask him
to report to you

behind my back.

You have long chats
with the bereaved mom,

who is suspected of poisoning
her own kid,

yet you refuse to fill out
your emotional bias form.

I am not biased.

I am investigating
Munchausen by Proxy,

as well as half a dozen
other things.

Okay, so either get on board
or get out of my autopsy.

Fill out your damn form.

It must have been hard,

I mean, caring for a sick child
all by yourself.

Yeah.

Except for online,
where you finally found

the support you needed.

You're tracking me online?

This is a death
investigation.

You're investigating me?

Like I had something to do
with my baby's death?

Simon's pediatrician claims

you may have contributed to it,
yes.

Oh no, I-I took him
to the doctor,

I-I took him over, and over,
and over!

Yes, and each time
you were praised online

for caring for a sick child.
- No.

No, no, no, no, because...

because I made-I made a chart
of-of his symptoms,

and-and the dates
with ev-everything.

I--all of it!

And the doctor wouldn't even
look at them!

And you're blaming me?!

You're blaming me! Me!

Child Welfare wants
to put some more distance

between you and Serena.
- No! No, no, no!

You're gonna take her away.

Trust me, there's nothing
I want less.

But you have to talk to me.

Were you trying to cure
Simon yourself?

I think I need a lawyer.

Did you ever see Max
give Simon any medication

or treatments that weren't
prescribed to him?

No, I would never
let that happen.

Serena is safe with me.

You don't need to place her
with a stranger.

I'd adopt her.

That's a much longer
conversation

than we have time for
right now.

But I can offer her
everything she needs.

Her own room, Sunday school,

all the things she's never
had before.

The situation is more
difficult now that we have

a medical witness against Max.

Okay.

What do you need me to say?

Did you have any
concerns about Simon's health

or well-being, or that Max
might be hurting him?

I already called CWA once
about my concerns,

I'm not sure how much more
I can add,

unless you give me a hint.

This is your anonymous
source against Max?

Why'd you withhold that?

I wasn't sure there
was anything wrong.

I wanted Child Welfare
to sort it out.

But if there had been,

I would've been there
for those kids.

Yeah, waiting in the wings
to adopt them.

- I think we've heard enough.
- Okay, wait! Wait.

Serena could've had
a real family!

With a dad!

I mean, my boyfriend,
he's still not ready for kids,

but he already loves her.

Wait!

I want you to go with these
nice people, okay?

I'll come find you.
Don't be scared.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

You wanna come with me
for a little bit?

- Yeah.
- Are you hungry?

Yeah.

Yeah, you are?
Me too, actually.

Maybe we'll go get something
to eat together.

What do you think about that?
- Yeah.

Yeah? There you go.

What a mess.

You have to throw out
her statement and her call.

Done.

And get Serena back
to her mother.

That's just one witness,
not my whole case.

We still don't know
what killed Simon,

and I'm not about to take
any chances with Serena.

No, I'm glad you're here.

We were always good
in a crisis.

At least we had that.

Dr. Cooper?

Simon's blood work came back
negative for anxiolytics.

Great, I'll add that
to the list of leads

we don't have.

I'm not Team Eli.
I didn't mean to...

ah! Snitch.
I'm sorry, Dr. Cooper.

Dennis, there is no Team Eli.

I love this job,
and I can't lose it.

You're not gonna lose
your job.

It was Eli who acted
inappropriately.

I think it's the case.
I've never seen him like this.

Well, Simon's symptoms
are so broad they're of no use,

I mean, irritability,
lethargy, vomiting,

uh, constipation, off-pallor...

Almost anything could've
caused those symptoms.

Yeah.

Hey, did River do a blood test
for genetic defects?

First thing she did,
but it was negative.

It's the same thing
I would've done

if I was his doctor, but...

there's no blood panel anywhere
in any of his files.

Maybe it got lost?

Do you know
how painful it is

to take a blood sample
from an infant?

How hard it is to take blood
from those tiny veins?

I do, and I know you don't do
a panel for minor symptoms,

but... how many times
did Max bring Simon in?

I don't torture babies
with unnecessary tests

because a woman spends
too much time on WebMed.

He didn't look like he was
in that much pain to me.

Okay, and you saw him for
what, 30 minutes at a time?

I mean, she's his mother,
she's with him 24/7.

I would've done a panel.

- I am a doctor.
- So am I!

And we can make mistakes.
- I didn't make a mistake.

It's no wonder that
she turned to social media

to get help.

She is a single mother
with a child in distress.

And you just dismissed her.

I thought you were
interviewing the doctor.

So what, you just thought
you'd just slip in there

while I wasn't there,
and... check over my math?

Dr. Morrow neglected Simon

because he didn't believe
Max's story,

so everything he reported
is suspect.

- He violated his oath.
- He did.

I could shove his medical
licence down his throat!

That case when you
were younger,

the one that convinced you never
to get emotionally involved,

it was an infant case,
wasn't it?

More than one.

When I was an intern,

my mentor was a brilliant
pathologist.

Passionate. Dedicated.

But he cared so much,

when a child died,
he needed someone to pay.

He reinterpreted the science
to match his bias?

Science I provided.

Oh.

Hence the forms.

I'll have Alphonse lock me
in my office

while you finish this.

Baby cases mess me up.

No. Eli, you care.

I can use all the brains
I can get on this.

There you are.

Hey, have you seen Ross?

Nope, he's out.

That means we have the whole
house to ourselves.

Why? What's wrong?

Nothing, I just, I need
to check in at the flower shop.

Why?

You know, I have to start
thinking about reopening

now that everything's
calmed down out there.

You know, I've left it
for so long.

Well, it doesn't make sense.

I mean, we've only just
convinced Jenny

that uh, you could stay here.

I know,
but she's avoiding me.

Well, go easy.

She had to get used to you
not being here,

and that's pretty much
all she's known.

I'm trying to make up
for lost time,

I'm trying to look after
the house,

I'm trying to look after you.
- Oh, I'm a chore?

No, I--of course not.

I want to be with you.
And I...

I-I want us all
to be a family.

Well, maybe she feels

you've got one foot out
the door already.

Oh look, there's Ross.

See ya.
- Okay.

Anemia might explain
Simon's off-colour.

Right, let's test
for that as well.

If the tox screen
was negative,

maybe the baby ingested
something.

If he swallowed
something and he passed it,

he could have internal
injuries.

Wait, are you guys seeing
what I'm seeing?

It's here, and also there.

Increased density
on the distal radius.

Could that be a growth
arrest line?

Here too, on the acetabuli.

Okay, so growth arrest lines
and anemia.

I mean, could he have...

could he have died of heavy
metal poisoning?

I'll call the lab
and confirm it.

Great, thank you.

Heavy metals come from
environmental exposure

like lead paint or old pipes.

We don't test for lead
in tox screens anymore,

because it was phased out
decades ago.

Yeah, I know.
Max's house is new,

so it's unlikely that they were
exposed to anything like that.

If it's environmental,

why aren't Max and Serena sick?

Okay, we need to figure out
anywhere that Simon went

daycares,
playgrounds.

It can't be either of those

or other kids would be getting
sick, too.

Maybe they are.

All right!

We are looking for growth
arrest lines,

that coroners may have missed

if they didn't know
to look for them.

Any positives go here.

I found seven more cases
in Ontario, all undetermined.

And in two of the cases,
the parents are going to trial.

Are you saying
Max is innocent?

I think so.

Y-You have to be sure.

We just split up Max
and Serena.

Now that she's in the system,
CWA won't release her

unless we prove Max
is not responsible.

I know, need to find out
what Simon was exposed to.

Hey, I'm gonna call you back.

The lab confirmed
high concentrations

of lead in Simon's blood.

Sometimes your ideas
are not terrible.

- Sometimes your apologies are.
- Part of my charm.

Any leads on how Simon
was exposed?

Well, uh, Alphonse asked
the attorney

prosecuting the other cases
to stop by.

See if the decedents
have anything in common.

We need to find this, Cooper,
or more children could die.

I know.

The Crown Attorney from the
Garza case is here to see you.

That's great, thank you.

Hi.

Hey, I need two coffees.

Thank you.

You look good.
- Thanks.

Um, Clark is here?

Yeah, uh, he's just here
helping on a case.

Do you know how he likes
his coffee?

Cream, no sugar.

Hey.
Hi.

Here.

- How are you?
- Uh...

I'm good.

I'm sorry for not reaching
out, you know, I had...

I didn't know--

Um, thanks for coming in
on such short notice.

Yeah, well, threatening
my case is certainly

one way to get my attention.

Or you could consider it
opposition research.

I mean, how do you know
the defense isn't gonna...

come up with the same
conclusions I did?

Eric Garza is guilty of killing
his 18-month-old son, Leo.

Are you reinterpreting
his autopsy?

This band of density
is a growth arrest line

in Leo Garza's femur.

Same as my decedent
and six other cases,

all have the same results.

My experts say
it was infanticide.

Leo died underweight
and malnourished,

and he was completely fine
before his parents split.

And we have motive.

Dad couldn't cough up the
thousands in child support.

These parents didn't kill
their children.

It's heavy metal poisoning.
- From where? Toronto?

Lead pipes and paints
have been banned for 50 years.

That's why I called you.

I need to figure out how
these kids were exposed,

otherwise more children
will die.

If Garza's lawyer finds out

that I'm even entertaining
this theory,

he'll have the case thrown out.

I wouldn't call you in
on a whim.

I'm ordering food. You have
until I finish this meal.

What about daycares?

Simon went to Happy Baby
in Mississauga.

Nope, Leo's daycare
was in Parkdale.

What about nannies?

Ah, his nanny was his
next-door neighbour.

I'm almost done, Cooper.
Clock's ticking.

Okay, I know you're not gonna
let an innocent man go to jail

because you're done your food.

The only reason why I'm even
entertaining this theory

is because it's you.

I meant because, you know,
I respect your brain.

What about the mom?

Why are you so focused
on Eric Garza?

Leo was fine until Dad
got custody.

- Where does the dad work?
- A bakery on Queen West.

I'm done my lunch, and my
thorough opposition research.

Time's up, Cooper.

Wait.

Food.

Heavy metals from pesticides
and industrial waste

build up in the soil,

and they can be absorbed
into the food chain.

I recognize that logo.

You think Leo and Simon were
eating contaminated crops?

Well...

contamination in one vegetable

is manageable for adults,

but concentrate that into
a baby food jar...

There's lead in the baby
food?

The building looks new.

Yeah, I think the
contamination is happening

in the fields.

And you grow all of your
own produce on your farm?

All of it,
we're a farm-to-jar operation.

Totally closed supply chain,

and all of it is plant-based.
- Okay,

what kinds of pesticides
and fertilizers do you use?

Nothing that Canadians
haven't been eating

for decades,
if you're worried about that.

Well, it can get absorbed
into the soil,

and then end up
in the food chain.

Pesticides save us 30%
of our crop every year, easy.

What about heavy metals
we're seeing in fields now?

Yeah, a lot of that's
naturally occurring.

Well, it's dangerous
for developing brains.

Which is why we test all
of our raw ingredients

for pesticide residue,
and heavy metals.

Great. I'm gonna need
to see those tests.

Of course.

Here you go.
- Thanks.

Here, this is our latest
creation.

Beets.

"Pump Up the Beets."
Cute.

Yeah, parents get a kick
out of the names.

Dads especially.

"Taters Gotta Tate"
is our bestseller.

I'm sorry, uh,
these all just say,

"Comply with all standards."

Yes, because we take
rigorous precautions.

Okay, I'm gonna need to see
the raw test data.

I'm sorry,
I can't help you with that.

Okay, well, if that's how
you wanna do it,

my next call is gonna be
to the Food Inspection Agency,

and I'm gonna get your entire
line recalled.

Okay, that's a bit harsh.

And I'm gonna test every
surface. Every crop, every jar.

Okay, okay, now,
there's no need, Dr. Cooper.

My guys can get you
everything you want.

Great. Thank you.

You really do have
a passionate side.

That surprises you?

I've missed you.

Hmm!

What'cha doing?

Oh, I wonder if I might
get some help, please.

What I'd like to do
is I'd like to uh,

build an arrangement

for the love of my life.

What's the occasion?

No occasion, really,
I just wanna...

I just want to send her
a message

that I am not the man
I was when she left.

We're not the same
people we were.

No.

I found my way back to you,
but now...

But now... I'm the one
who's leaving you.

When you left,

I couldn't breathe.

It was a very--

I couldn't breathe for months.

And I would have this
beautiful, hazy moment

every morning when I woke up,

before I remembered you,
and everything.

I used to live for that
split-second of relief.

I don't think I can go
through that again.

I'm still here.

I'm still here.

Is the house still empty?

Yeah.

- Hey.
- Hi.

Half-caf oat milk latte.

You know my coffee order.

Well, it looks like
you've been busy.

Yeah, um...

okay, so, it's all clean.

- What?
- Yeah, even everything I,

I subpoenaed.

And the baby food from
Max's house is clean.

What about the testing data?

Complies with all standards.

This is the only thing
Leo Garza and Simon Williams

have in common.

Yeah, so, I guess
your case is safe.

Don't. I'm not that kind
of prosecutor.

I want the truth.

Yep, I know,
but I don't, I don't have it.

I don't want Max to lose
Serena, but...

I can't definitively say
that she's innocent

unless I know
what poisoned Simon.

Look, I gotta...

I gotta go meet Donovan
and Max, and tell her...

tell her I don't know.

Here, uh,
don't forget your coffee.

Right.

Thank you.

So what's it like,
working with Cassidy?

Huh, I never thought
we'd be able to be

in the same room together
again.

Yeah? What'd she do, throw
your telescope in the lake?

Oh, that,
and she stole my dog.

- That's low.
- Yeah, Lexie,

this little Boston Terrier with
this huge, unmistakable grin.

And you can't explain to a dog
why you're not around anymore.

Always killed me.

Awww!

Simon died of heavy metal
poisoning.

But we're not sure yet
how he was exposed.

I knew something was wrong.

A lot of the time it's hard
to detect until later in life

when the child struggles
cognitively.

What about Serena?
Um, is she sick, too?

Child Welfare Agency
tested her,

she's negative.

Okay.

And we don't think
you have anything to do

with Simon's death,
but CWA wants to have

a family court hearing to prove
that Serena's not at risk.

No, but-but she needs
me now!

She ju-she just lost her
brother.

I tried so hard to be
a good mom.

When Serena was born,

I...

I gave her all the sweet
things,

and she never developed
a taste for vegetables.

But with Simon,
it was broccoli

as soon as he could eat
baby food.

I-I wanted him to love
the things

that would make him strong.

You know?

Max, the broccoli baby food,
do you remember the brand?

Uh, it was...
Nature's Favourite.

Nature's Favourite doesn't
have a broccoli product.

Could it be something else?

Uh, it's called,
"Broc and Roll."

It was Simon's favourite.

I've been up to my elbows in
cute baby food names all day,

I-I think I would've remembered
that one.

Um, they-they brought
a huge shipment

into the store about a month -

a couple months ago.

I bought uh, two cases on sale.

But I haven't been able
to find it since.

What if it was discontinued?

What if it was a bad batch,
and they sold off the evidence?

Then we wouldn't have
anything to test.

Uh, I... I-I have one.

Um...

I keep it in here
for emergencies.

"Broc and Roll" tested
positive for lead,

cadmium, and arsenic,

well over the maximum amount,
I mean, even for adults.

I still can't figure out
how it got there, though.

I had a detective
do some digging.

A demolition company
paid Cole Hanes

to dump leftover dirt
on his property.

Well, federal inspectors
are headed over there now.

I mean, they're gonna recall
the entire product line.

I don't know if they'll find
anything that can help us,

I mean, I tested everything
myself and it came back clean.

Do you think they knew they
had a contaminated product

on the market?

All they tested
the raw ingredients,

but not the final concentrated
product, I mean,

maybe they didn't wanna know?

Well, you subpoenaed
their test results,

and there's no data for
"Broc and Roll" anywhere.

Right.

Max's food is evidence
that they scrubbed it.

We got 'em.

I'll drop the charges
against Eric Garza

and the other parents.

A lot of things have
changed around here.

Yeah.

But some things haven't.

Yeah, I didn't um...

I didn't really expect to...
to feel anything

between us.

I never stopped feeling.

Look, Clark, I can't
give you what you need.

It's not what I need.

It's what you want.

What do you want right now?

I wanna feel.

Mama!

Hey!

Hi! Oh God!

Hi!

Muah! Muah.

Hi.

When is Simon coming home?

Uh...

well...

okay.

Okay.

How have you been?

Pretty good.

Except for a cancer scare
a few months back.

Cancer?

Yeah, you know,
radiation, and surgery,

but that was to repair
a hole in my spine

that was exacerbated
by a suspect attack.

Nothing could ever
beat you, McAvoy.

You look good too, and...

I can't quite put
my finger on it.

Yeah.

I've been doing this amazing
life-coach thing now,

learning to take responsibility
for my actions.

Speaking of which,

there is somebody here
who would like to see you.

Lexie!

Hi! How are you?

Ohhhh!

So good to see you!

That grey looks good on you!

It's-it's good to see you.

Ah!

Where were you?

Dad and Peggy asleep?

- Yeah.
- Oh, what are we doin'?

Are we drowning our sorrows
or are we celebrating?

I got a terrible review
on a FoodScouts order.

Come on.

Come on, say it,
I know you want to.

Say "I told you so."
- No.

I think they're missing out.

I don't know, I mean,
I can...

I can handle a little
heartbreak,

but uh... yeah, we're gonna need
some more wine.

- We are in luck.
- No way!

Because-- yeah.

Guess what I picked up
on the way home.

- Oh! Psychic!
- Tah-dah!

I'll go get the bottle
opener.

No, don't, you-you really
cannot find a thing

in that Post-It-Note house.

Okay, well, how are we gonna
open the bottle, genius?

Give it to me and find out.

Come on, I have a method.

- Okay, now, give me your shoe.
- Absolutely not.

Use your own shoe.

It has to have a heel on it.
I literally can't.

Give me your shoe, come on.

- Oh! All right.
- You've never seen me do this?

- No.
- Kid stuff.

Can you be careful
with those? Ross!

Okay. No, there's no need.

It's really easy. And I need
to sort of-- just like that.

Ross, those are really
expensive!

- It's coming, don't worry!
- Ross, what are you doing?

We're gonna get it
any minute now. Oh!

- It's ruined!
- Look! We're good.

Oh my God!

What are you doing
out here?! Be quiet!

You're going to wake up Gordie.

Oh, anybody want some vino?

Daaaad!

Woo hoo!

Now, is that a genius idea?

Look, clean off, no bits.
