On the butt side, so fit.

I was hoping to never feel wool on my
skin again.

There he is.

Welcome back.

Thank you, sir.

Happy to be here. Ran to ace my second
chance.

It's just, for the long sleeves, not
fair.

You fell as far as you could without
getting about. You have to earn your way

back to short sleeves.

I know it's a bummer, but I'm excited to
have you back on patrol.

For a little while.

So, what's happening? Am I writing solo,
or are you pairing me with someone?

It's not really my call to make.

But you know the answer.

I don't really have time to tell you.
But you won't, because UCs have a blood

bond of honesty that will last until the
apocalypse. So, fill it.

I'm just the messenger.

I don't understand.

You won't be riding with me anymore.

Then who?

You're going to be training Penn.

Are you kidding?

Not only do I have to go back into the
suck that is uniformed police work. Not

only do I have to walk a high wire act
of perfection every minute of the day

for the next six months.

I'm getting paired with a training
officer so legendarily can't tinker as

she makes Tim Bradford look like Mr.
Rogers. I'm getting stuck with a Texas

lemon who should have been fired for a
multitude of reasons.

Yeah. Yes.

And

you

heard the mechanic say that he would get
it done today. He said those actual

words. Yes. Even the last time it took
him over a week to order the part.

Hey, I put the fear of God.

It'll be done by fire.

Luna, my favorite, room 314 is
imploding. Of course it is. I knew we

were in trouble as soon as the third
estranged child showed up.

I prescribed antibiotics for his
pneumonia and therapy for the rest of

them. I'm sure they'll get right on
that.

I don't think we've met.

Right. Oliver Ashton, this is my
husband, Wade.

Nice to meet you. Good to meet you.

I don't think I've seen you around here
before.

I just started a couple months ago.
Spent the last five years working for

Doctors Without Borders.

Noble. It's nothing compared to what you
do every day.

I'm doing assessments at 314. Ask for
me. Tell them I got carried off by a

twister.

Nice guy.

He makes us all look like
underachievers.

Thank you for the ride and for taking my
car in, which you should probably go do

now or else he's going to blame us for
not getting it finished today.

Look, Nolan and I have thought about how
to train Miles going forward. Keep him.

You both had your chance.

What are you going to tell me that I
don't already know? He's a cowboy

because he's insecure? That was clear to
some of us on day one. Now he is a hot

mess who's going to hit the street so
scared to make a mistake that he will

panic freeze the second the adrenaline
hits. So, no, I will chart my own

course. Thank you.

I think he's got it handled.

What? Good morning. Did you mean to get
off here?

Task force floor. I'm sorry. I'm just a
little distracted.

Everything okay?

Yeah, yeah.

I don't know.

I found this in Luna's car and a pair of
fancy men's sunglasses.

That doesn't necessarily mean anything.

No, of course not.

I'm sure it doesn't mean anything.

You have heard this.

Sir,

if I may, there are two paths you can
take here. The first is talk to your

wife. Odds are there's a very simple
explanation.

The second is, you know, snoop. I highly
recommend the first.

Thank you.

Just had to see me or is there a
problem?

Your mom.

Now what did she do?

Well, have you not been following our
group chat?

No, I muted that thing. It's like you
set it up in three of us. I know I have

a problem with communication. This is
not funny. Your mom has texted us 11

times in the past hour and you're being
radio silent. So I have to answer. No,

you really don't. You don't. It's not
your job to fill the silence.

In fact, the sooner you stop.

The sooner she'll abandon the thread and
stop sending blurring pictures of

relationship quizzes from ancient Cosmo
magazines she has lying around.

So you are following the thread?

I may have seen one or two.

Mm-hmm. I'll text you, okay?

Not your way to carry.

She was my mom.

Okay. Thank you. Yeah. I'll ask.

Mm-hmm.

Oh, howdy, Detective Harper.

I want to say how thrilled I am to be
training with you. You want your

nickname to be asked, yes, sir?

No, ma'am. Then rethink your approach.

Yes, ma'am.

So what is your goal for the next six
months of training?

Learn from my mistakes.

Try not to get myself in situations I
can't handle.

So play it safe?

I'm one screw up away from getting
bounced.

What am I supposed to do?

Okay, so here's how today is going to
go.

You are the CO.

I am the rookie.

I don't know, sir.

You will teach me the job as if I were a
day one rookie and take the lead on

every call we get. And at the end of
shift, I will decide whether you are

worth my effort.

Yes, ma'am.

I'm just going to stick with it.

This is nice.

Back together again.

Is that the pressure of being evaluated?

I can really let my freak flag fly.

No, not that I have one. Like a freak
flag. No hidden freak agenda over here.

Uh-huh.

Don't worry.

Here's freak red tape with me.

Wait, what?

Oh, I see.

No, no, but seriously, I have no freak
red.

7-9-15-2-11 at 4-7-1-6-3 San Vicente.

Copy that. Two is responding.

Hit it, super freak.

Yeah, why don't you come out where we
can see you?

We were just in the middle of filming
when two guys with guns came in, stole

all of our equipment, and shot the place
up.

Okay, filming what?

Minion erotica. Heck, not the time.

It's called dropout TV. We do shows
based around improv comedy. I own the

company. Oh, there he goes. He owns the
place. He owns the place.

There's like a weird power dynamic, but
we're friends, but either Bob... Jacob.

I act like I'm pet to myself.

Okay, can we just stay on track?
Doubtful. Sorry. No. Sorry.

We won't.

Right. I think the path forward here is
to take witness statements from each of

them separately.

Mm-hmm.

And you can put your hands down.

Oh, thank God.

All right. In your own words, just tell
me what happened.

Wow. Okay, yeah.

I first got into comedy after being
bullied in middle school.

Okay, so where were you when the robbery
took place?

Your Honor, let the record show that it
could not have been me before I was at

the studio when the crime occurred. Oh,
well, this isn't a courtroom.

You're a witness, not a suspect.

I could have committed the crime.

I could have been, you know, like,
colluding.

Were you? I thought you said it wasn't
the suspect.

Okay, you're making me nervous. I did
the crime. No, I didn't. I'm panicking.

I'm panicking. Yeah, I can't believe we
lost all the footage that we shot today.

I probably did some of my best, most
important work of my career.

My Dame Judy butthole bit?

Killed. Did the suspects have accents or
any distinctive vocal qualities? Yeah,

when you say accents, do you mean like,
hey, I'm a guy from, like, Birmingham?

I'm here to rob your plate. Or maybe he
was an appellation here, Billy, with a

sinus infection.

I promised to answer your question, but
can I just ask you something first? No.

Okay, so I just need like a regular, not
funny person's opinion of this. Like,

which version is funnier? A guy who is
trying to give a eulogy, but he's

holding in a sneeze?

Or a guy who's giving a eulogy, but he's
being attacked by invisible egress?

And don't answer yet. I have to show
you.

Perhaps it was a vampire from down under
who has really bad anxiety.

I want to suck your blood, but I'm a
little scared.

Oh, it's kind of coming back to me. The
suspect's license plate? No, my Dame

Judy butthole bit. Do you mind if I do
it real quick so it doesn't escape me?

Ooh, record me on your body cam and then
text it to me. And then I started

Dropout TV? What was your question
again?

Hey, hi. I don't know how helpful this
is, but one of the robbers must have

dropped their wallet when they were
robbing the control room. Wait, I know

you.

You're the drone kid.

Dax, Dan.

Dash, but close enough.

He let you use the drone? He straight up
told me no.

Okay, well, you wanted to film Mr. Rice
in his backyard doing yoga for blackmail

purposes. Am I the only one that went to
the HR meeting? We had an HR meeting?

I need a background check on Mark Wyatt.

I thought you were moving to Vegas with
your mom. Yeah, that didn't work out, so

we moved to L.A.

My mom always wanted to be a hand model,
which is going as well as you would

expect. So I got a part-time job with
these lunatics. Lovely people.

Well, I went to graduate high school.
We're suspect Mark Wyatt has prior

assaults and for public nudity. At the
same time, what would that look like?

I've been thinking about it. I feel
like... No, no, no. It's an emergency.

All right, we're going to go pick him
up.

And we'll be in touch.

Lots of luck.

Aw.

Um, tell me the six rules of a trap cut
out.

Why'd you do that?

Because my training ops are asking why a
patrol officer would listen to a police

scanner and not just wait for dispatch
calls.

Yes?

When evaluating a rookie, a training
officer wants to see how they respond to

different scenarios. With a rookie who
is looking to get into trouble, the

calls they choose can be illustrious.
Armed suspect just abandoned his car on

freeway. He's shooting! Watch out, he's
running!

The foot pursuit heading east on
Benedict. And that's the record.

Penny, why wouldn't we want to respond
to that call? Travel time to call is

approximately 15 minutes. A shots fired
call means that every available unit in

the area will respond.

As last arrivals, we will likely miss
the action and be tasked with looking

for shell casings in the hot sun for the
next five hours.

Right. I mean, uh, good answer.

Let's look for a closer call.

All units, silent alarm at Lincoln Bank
and Trust.

211 in progress.

Bank robbery? Hot damn, we're taking
that one, right? Yes, sir.

Although... Although what?

A thoughtful CO might inform his rookie
that most bank robberies can be measured

in minutes. And given our proximity and
the units that are closer, it might be

prudent to focus on the bank robber's
possible escape route and intercept.

In case they manage to get away before
police arrive.

So the route they would take to escape
would be?

They would head for the 10-110 freeway
exchange and try to get lost in the

chaos of Los Angeles District.

Which means that they would have to
drive up? George Street.

Please. Please help.

I think she's dying.

I think she's dying.

Okay,

we have two GSW victims.

Patient number one, GSW, in the left
upper quadrant abdomen.

Now, worstly descended and firm.

Critically unstable. Recommend OR stat.

I'll stay with them. Sounds right. You
investigating this one?

No, we are.

That is sweet, but you are the hot shot
detective. I'm just a lowly patrol

officer. You're still a detective, but I
get your point.

Did either of them mention the third
bank robber?

No, I didn't realize there was one.
Yeah, security guards said there were

three of them all masked and armed.
Their robber disappeared when the

shooting started, must have laid low as
the other two escaped and snuck away

into the chaos afterwards.

We're pulling security footage now.
Hopefully we can get a before and after

the mask came off.

How's your rookie?

I don't know yet.

You know you can't bounce him from the
program, right?

What? I was looking forward to it. He's
not the only one being evaluated, Nyla.

You need to be made of wins while you're
back on patrol.

Firing a rookie will be seen as a loss,
and you can't give I.A. a reason to

punish you more or worse, fire you.

Lieutenant.

Hey, um, you all right? I mean, other
than uniform.

Yeah, we caught two bank robberies thus
far. Penn is in there watching over them

while they get prepped for surgery.

You here to see Luna?

Yeah, I'm on. Take her out to lunch.

Sweet.

Excuse me.

Luna.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Thought I'd take my wife to lunch.

Oh, that's so sweet, but Oliver is about
to do his assessments, and I accompany

in case any patient advocate questions
come up. You can join us, but it's going

to be a lot more bodily fluids than a
normal person wants to see in a day.

You'd be surprised what a cop sees in a
day.

Good point.

I shouldn't be too late. Why don't we go
to dinner?

I'll make a date you can't keep.

I can keep it.

All right, good.

It really was sweet you came to take me
to lunch.

Um, look, Luna, um... Hey, we need help.

Let me guess. You're glued together.

You say that like it happens a lot?

More than you know.

Did you drive here like that?

Well, we didn't take the bus.

Hey, I can't help but to notice by the
position of your hand that you were

engaged in a domestic dispute gone
sticky.

No, no, no, no.

She was just caressing my face.

Why, you choked her.

Not all joking is non-consensual.

I'm going to go get the doctor.

Wait, wait.

Please tell me there is not glue on your
hand.

I wish that.

Why can't you just come in here? Because
I'm mad at you.

It's not enough that I have a busy day,
I have to run damage control on your

dysfunction. I was trying to take my mom
off your plate.

By telling her to not contact me?

I want to have a relationship with your
mother, but not whatever this has

become.

Alright, I'll text her. No, hey, come
on, please.

Call her.

Today, okay? An actual human
conversation.

I'm telling you, I lost my wallet
yesterday.

How convenient timing, given we found it
at the scene of an armed robbery this

morning.

Convenient? It's such lazy framing.

The universe is an infinitely
complicated place.

You show your ignorance acting like
coincidences are impossible.

The sheer amount of things happening on
a single day.

Number in the sextillion.

Okay, that's a made-up number. No, it's
not.

The sextillion is a thousand trillion.

And given that the world is populated
with over 8 billion people, I'm probably

way underestimating.

No, I'm definitely underestimating.

There's over 10 quintillion insects in
the world.

It's over 1 billion per person.

So given that scale, me losing a wallet,
a criminal picking it up, and then

dropping it at a crime scene isn't
unlikely.

Statistically, it's almost a given.

We're still going to put you in the
lineup and see if the victims can

identify you.

That's fair.

How many of that quintillion?

Quintillion insects are spiders?

Oh, at least a quadrillion.

There's 53,000 species.

They're on every continent except
Antarctica.

We might have to move to Antarctica.

Not today, though, right? No.

Today we see if Mark loses the lineup
lottery.

It's just like the movies. With as much
diversity.

Check test.

All right. We are about to show you a
lineup of six men. The person or persons

involved in the robbery may or may not
be among them.

Afterwards, I'm going to ask you
individually if you recognize anyone.

But do not compare notes and do not
discuss the suspects amongst each other.

Do you understand?

Yes, Daddy.

Okay, the guy that's number one looks
like a tech bro that speaks about

himself in the third person, and he
probably kisses his immediate family on

the phone.

Okay,

wait, but number three is sort of giving
like, hey, I'm Chad. I completely

misunderstood the message of Fight Club,
and I don't understand why my Native

American Halloween costume shows this.

Number five looks like he spends his
Friday nights chugging beer loaded with

protein powder.

Stop drinking alone if your two snakes
are in the house.

Okay, guys, let's try to focus.

I mean, this should be fairly easy.

Do you guys recognize anyone or not?

Well, they were all wearing masks, but
these guys are the same basic size.

You know, I feel like I might recognize
the guy's voice that yelled at us.

Yeah.

Number one, could you please repeat the
phrase?

Shut up and get on the ground.

Okay. I'm going to press with the
performance.

Could use a little more pizzazz.

I don't want to give a line read, but
there's like a hundred guys in L.A. that

could do a better job than that.

So, question.

Can you just sort of make them say
whatever you want? No. They're only

going to say what was said at the
robbery.

You guys thinking what I'm thinking?

Contestant number one, can you please
recite Tommy Lee Jones' speaking of the

fugitive? No. Contestant number one.

Suspect number one, you do not have to
do that.

I would like it if you did.

I would like it if you did. I'll do it.

I love the fugitive.

Floor's all yours.

What I want out of each and every one of
you is a hard target search.

Of every gas station, residence,
warehouse, farmhouse, henhouse,

outhouse, and doghouse in that area.

He's really good. Absolutely good.
Bravo.

Can we see a chemistry rate between four
and two?

Okay, okay, okay.

Do you recognize any of these
individuals from the robbery? I mean, if

we say yes, can we get them to say more
weird stuff?

No. Can we make them kiss? Ooh, can we
make them kiss?

Can we see a kiss between four and two?

That would equal six.

It's odd.

Super glue usually comes off with a bit
of acetone. Do you remember the brand

you used? Yes.

I think it was like an acetone-resistant
blend.

Heavy-duty stuff.

Yeah. I can't really remember the exact
name. Well, surgery is a last resort,

but without identifying the exact
adhesive you used, I'm not sure how else

to proceed.

Can someone go by your house and get it?

No, not really.

I'm happy to do it. Give me your
address.

No, that's not necessary.

That's super nice, though. Oh, my God,
the nicest. Thank you. But we just, we

could not thought of you. Listen up. You
are glued to my wife.

The only person I'm supposed to touch
her this long is me.

So give me your address.

Unless there's something at your house
you don't want me to see.

Something that has to do with this,
perhaps.

I swear, I don't know what that is. It's
a firing pin for a handgun. Oh, my God.

Crazy. The question is, are the two of
you covered with them?

So, Finley is out of surgery. We should
be able to talk to her soon. But the

girlfriend, Ava, she died on the table.

Damn.

Hard way to learn not to rob a bank with
a former Green Beret working as a

security guard.

Hey, as my rookie, shouldn't you be
doing the paperwork?

Yeah, had to give it a shot.

All right, I requested an officer to
come watch over Finley. We should get

back out on patrol.

Actually, we have been asked to take a
first run at interviewing Finley.

Lopez is tied up with the feds, combing
through Bankfoot and trying to figure

out how the third robber escaped.

And as our former partner, future
partner, she trusts your detective

skills. Exactly.

And unfortunately for you, I still need
my T.O. to show me how it's done.

Not to break the fourth wall here, but
you're a literal expert at interrogating

suspects, and I'm not.

Only way to become an expert is to do
the work. And as someone whose instincts

are to turn everything up to an 11, I am
curious to see how you handle something

that requires nuance and delicacy.

Hey. Hey. How long's she been awake?

A couple minutes.

Anyone tell her about her partner?

I know I didn't.

Can I ask you one question?

Sure.

What's the worst mistake I can make in
that?

Don't make it a competition.

You versus her.

You guys are on the same side.

Yes, ma'am. Got it. Thanks.

Finley?

I'm Officer Penn. This is Detective
Harper.

We brought you in? Yeah, I remember.

Josefa, no one will tell me.

I'm sorry, but she didn't survive the
surgery. She had lost too much blood.

No.

Why did he have to shoot her?

He didn't have to shoot her. Her guns
weren't real.

But they looked real.

People were terrified.

It's not fair. She only did it because
of me.

Why?

I've seen your history. It's spotless.

I couldn't even dream of getting into
Stafford.

Be grateful.

You want to know why we robbed that
bank?

I am $200,000 in debt.

And that's after spending the last three
years trying to pay off the loan.

It's higher now than it was when I
started.

What hope did we have at a happy life
together?

Working two jobs just to barely stay
above water.

Listen, I get it.

I lived in my car until a few months
ago. Debt is no joke.

And it could impact how the DA's office
decides to prosecute you.

But if you want any hope of leniency,
any, you need to tell us who your other

partner was in the robbery. It was just
me and Ava. We know that there was a

third person that got away.

We're going to find them eventually.

But you have an opportunity to help
yourself here.

I strongly urge you to take it.

I don't deserve help.

Dave is dead because of me.

Hey, what are you doing here?

Hey, a dropout guy's made me drive him.
Something about a lineup?

Right, but they left.

Are you kidding?

That's why Sam asked for the...

Minivan, please. Okay.

Sorry, can your mom pick you up? Yeah, I
can call her.

Did they help you at all with the lunch?

No? Stupid question. Those guys would
have gone down with the Titanic because

they were too busy making fun of the
orchestra to get on a lifeboat.

Look, don't take this the wrong way, but
why do you work with those guys?

They pay me surprisingly well.

Uh, Nolan, I'm sorry. Are you free?
Yeah, I can be. I'll see you later?

Yep.

So, great call.

Luna is currently glued to a couple who
appears to be manufacturing and selling

ghost guns.

The judge just signed off on a warrant
for us to go inside and take a look at

their house. While they remain glued to
Luna? That's going to have to be our

secondary assignment, identifying the
adhesive they've been using to assemble

the ghost guns so we can get them all
separated.

And who are these people?

Uh, Poppy and Jasper Watterson. Neither
of them have a criminal record, but at

one point or another, they've both filed
restraining orders against each other. I

checked out their social media. They are
both gun enthusiasts, obviously in a

toxic relationship who share an
inability to think things through.

Wow. Yeah. Today is an odd one. Right?
Wait, why? What's going on with you? I

can't even explain, not without crying.

Juarez, we're on the move.

Coming.

I, uh, let Mark White go.

His girlfriend corroborated his story of
him losing his wallet yesterday, and he

was very understanding about our
confusion and happy to get his wallet

back once we had it fingerprinted.

Hey, you want to ride with me?

Can I?

Traitor.

So did he call his mom?

I don't know.

I don't think so.

I don't have much confidence that even
if he does, it'll make things better.

Okay, we're coming up to it.

What's

up?

Three guys are moving stuff out of that
greenhouse around the corner.

And by stuff you mean guns among other
things so do we want to go right at them

or try something more cuddle a little
bit of both

All the legs spread.

That could not have worked out better.

Looks like we found our adhesive.

Oh, I wouldn't touch that.

Good idea.

Hey, guys, I got this down here.

Go inside and clear the house.

Nolan sent a photo of the glue. Thank
God.

Oh, did he see anything else while he
was there?

Hey, I just got the exact epoxy that he
used. Great.

By the way, earlier that day, I found
these in the bathroom. You wouldn't

happen to know who they belong to, would
you?

Yeah, I've been looking everywhere for
these.

What would you say you found them?

I don't know.

I'm sorry. You can't go there. You can't
go in there. The hell I can't. You're

going to have to shoot me to stop me.
Ma'am, ma'am, hold on one second. Your

granddaughter has been arrested for a
very serious crime. My granddaughter has

also been shot.

And I am the only family she's got, so
you are going to let me into that room.

Yes, ma'am, we can do that. But I need
you to do something for me.

Finley can help herself by telling us
the truth about what happened.

Finley needs a lawyer.

I've got one on the way. Now let me see
her. Of course. But Detective Harper is

going to pat you down and hold on to
your purse.

Whatever.

Arms up.

Oh, baby.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry. What's going on?

Uh, Finley's grandma just got here.

Great. I don't need to make a separate
trip. When the feds finished processing

the prints from the bank, one set set
out.

Although the last bank she robbed was in
1983.

Get out.

Finley's mama?

Yeah, she did a nickel for it.

Got out and never robbed another bank.

Until today.

Maeve. It's all my fault. They did
everything right in life, and still,

they were struggling so much.

It wasn't right.

Put your hand behind your back. No,
please.

No.

It wasn't right.

No.

Finally. So much better.

All right.

Good news is that you're free.

And this is the bad news.

All right.

If you could just turn around.

Turn around.

Hands on your head.

Hands behind your back.

Huh. Must have missed them.

Bruh.

Hey.

Are you still waiting for your mom?

Yeah, she's busy.

Said she'd get me when she's free. She
couldn't think of a safer place for me

to wait.

Okay. What about your dad? Oh, he's on
the break glass in case of emergency.

Right. Well, I just finished with an
arrest, so I can give you a ride home.

Great.

Can we go with the lights and the
sirens?

No, but I'll let you use the radio to
tell Dispatch she has a sexy voice.

Really? No.

Is that your mom?

No, it's Sam.

Where's our equipment? You weren't
supposed to steal it for real. I'm not

paying you unless you bring it back.

Second text.

Haha, whoops, sorry, that message wasn't
for you. Please don't share it with

anyone. Prayer hands emoji.

Do I need a lawyer?

That is your right. Do you have one?

Yes, but he only does entertainment law.

That's not going to help you.

Look, not only did you make false
statements to police, which is

punishable by up to six months in
prison, but you also endangered yourself

and your employees.

Look, I am so sorry. We do crazy stunts
for our shows all the time. I thought I

was hiring actors to play robbers.

They were supposed to interrupt our game
show with a fake robbery and then return

all of our stuff a few hours later. I
never thought a casting breakdown for

armed robbers would attract actual armed
robbers.

And then I was too embarrassed to say
anything.

And now I fully realize the error of my
ways. Which is great. But it will still

be up to the DA's office as to whether
they want to press charges.

I can't go to jail. I couldn't even
handle sleepaway camp.

Let's just start with arresting the two
men that robbed you. I'm assuming you

have names and numbers.

I have their Venmos. Let's start with
that.

Okay.

Robber 88.

Okay, well, I should have seen that one
coming.

What a way to end shift.

As a thank you, paperwork can be turned
into the top of the day tomorrow. I'll

even add an hour of OT for those who
want to come in early.

That's great. Hey, did you call your
mother?

I'm gonna... Yeah, don't we have a...
Right behind you.

I'm sorry.

I think I just need to get some closure.

That's okay.

Why don't we clock out and talk about it
at home?

Okay.

I don't know about you, but all I'm
thinking about is a hot bath and 12

hours of sleep. Sounds nice.

Are you okay?

I thought I could broach this in a more
delicate way, but after the day

we had, I think it's better just to come
out and say it.

Is there something going on with you and
Dr. Ashton?

Are you accusing me of cheating?

I'm not accusing you of anything.

But after seeing the way you two act
together and finding his things in your

car, that's one little truth.

First of all, you have to believe me
when I say that nothing has happened

between us.

Second of all?

I do feel something for him.

I wasn't looking for it.

In our whole marriage, I've never even
thought about anyone else. But this past

year, the world has opened up for me. I
finished school. I got this job.

You met another man.

It is not that simple.

Am I attracted to him?

Yes.

But that doesn't mean that I was
planning on acting on it. Doesn't mean

you weren't.

Otherwise you would have said that.

Wait, please. I'm trying to be honest
and I'm making a mess of it because I

don't really know how I feel.

If you hadn't confronted me about
Oliver, there's a good chance I would

have worked through all of this without
you ever knowing. I do know.

It's breaking my heart.

So what you need to tell me is that
whatever it is you feel for this man,

it's over as of now.

And your hesitation gives me my answer.
Here, take this.

Wait. I need to take a walk.

And then what?

I don't know.

So, officially end of shift?

Did you decide whether or not I'm a lost
cause?

I want to hear your thoughts, Kurt.

Okay. Well, I think I made some real
progress today.

Even though it wasn't close to perfect.

Stop.

You do know not everything is about you,
right? I don't want to hear your own

self-analysis. I want to hear what you
thought about me, your rookie.

Oh.

Can I not do that?

All right.

I'd say you're pretty knowledgeable for
a rookie officer.

You have natural instincts.

Though I can sometimes feel your urge to
take over, I appreciate that you don't.

Your willingness to trust your T.O. and
give him a second chance, even when you

think you might know better, when you
most definitely do know better, is

admirable.

Okay, thanks.

Now it's your turn, right?

Wait, so what does that mean? Do I pay
or should I go home?

See you tomorrow.

Happy birthday!

We wanted to do something special to
celebrate your first day back on patrol.

You guys, you are terrible, wonderful
people, and I love

you. We love you, too, and you're going
to get through this. Thank you. You guys

really did not have to do this.

I am glad that you did. It's not
something I ever would have thought to

celebrate. To be fair, you were not big
on festivities of any kind. I only found

out when your birthday was because I
called your mama. And I am still kind of

mad at you for that. Me too, and so is
Wesley.

Okay, so I assume that this is not just
decorations, that there are some sort of

sustenance and possible adult beverages.

I'm on it. Thank you guys for being
here.

But just to clarify, I do want to be in
my bed in an hour. Oh, yeah, we'll be

long on. Yeah.

Okay.

All right, Mom.

Bye.

I did it?

It is handled.

That took too long to happen easy.

Is he okay? Are you okay?

Yeah, no, I'm great. Okay. Actually, no,
it went a lot easier than expected.

She understood the whole boundaries
issue pretty quickly and acknowledged

that she can get overexcited. Doesn't
blame you or me. Just blames technology

for being too fun to experience alone.

Wow. Okay. It sounds like it went great.

What took so long then?

We started talking about a lot of other
stuff.

Like what?

Melody. If you want to tell me.

Work.

Childhood memories.

You. It was nice.

Yeah. I bet you guys have a lot to catch
up on.

Yeah. Yeah, she did. She told me all
about her weekly trips to the farmer's

market. Oh, and she told me all about
her friend Linda, who has been acting

like, and this is in my mother's words,
a shrewd bitch with a stick shoved so

far apart.

Yeah, I heard about Linda, and honestly,
I agree with your mother. She has to go.

How'd you hear about that? That was not
on the group chat.

Nope.

I...

I am on a separate group thread with
just your mom and Jenny.

You are unbelievable.

No, stop. To be fair, I did not start
that one. Jenny did. But now I have two

of my main sources for vintage Tim
photos in the same place. So that's very

nice for me. Oh, God. Okay, so do I have
to talk to Jenny now, too? No, no.

But if you have that powder blue prom
suit lying around, that would be nice.

Okay, I'm sure I could dig it up from
somewhere. Wow. Yeah.

I'm in the bedroom.

I thought you couldn't be home for
another week.

I moved some things around.

Are you naked under there?

100%. With the caveat that I have to go
back in 36 hours.

We can get a lockdown in 36 hours. We
can.

Just one.

Yes, sir. Is everything all right?

No.

Luna and I are in a bad place.

I don't know what our future looks like.

I'm here at a hotel bar where I'll be
staying for who knows how long.

Sounds like you need some company. I'll
be right there. Thanks.

Maybe not right there.

Hey, John.

He won't be any more sad in 40 minutes
than he would have been in 20.

This is your phone.

Damn it.
