you've always dreamed about.

Everything you've written

in your letters, you have.

Don't screw it up.

Take your medicine.

Okay.

Remember, you, me and Claudia

used to sit around

and talk about who was

going to get married first?

Yeah, I do.

I always thought it was going to

be her 'cause she's the prettiest.

I'm the prettiest.

No, I knew

it was going to be you.

You were always the best.

George,

an investigator came around

asking questions about the fire.

Who?

Did he say a name?

I think I have his card.

What did he ask you?

What does he know?

It's okay.

I'll take care of it.

I love you, George.

I love you more.

Let's get you home.

That was Myracle

Holloway and L'Marco Smith,

from the Marriage Chronicles

soundtrack with, What Happened?

It's a sunny 80 degrees

here in Southern California.

This'll be your only warning.

The Smith case is closed.

Walk away, you understand?

Walk away.

Tap the dashboard three times

if you understand.

- Hey, baby.

- Hi.

Hey.

What are you doin'?

Oh, baby, I'm tired.

I guess you're not tired.

- Are you tired?

- I'm tired.

- Are you?

- Yeah.

Hey.

Michael.

Ohhh.

Ohhh.

Mmm.

F***.

- Wait, baby, slow down. Baby, slow down.

- No. Don't hold it.

- Ohhh. Slow down. Slow down.

- Don't hold it.

Catherine, slow... Ohhh.

Oh, f***.

What did we just do?

What did we just do?

Ohhh, f***.

Ah, yes. Yes!

Look at the pretty day.

It's a gorgeous day.

Hmm?

Hello, gorgeous family.

- I love you.

- Love you more.

And Daddy loves you.

Daddy loves you!

I love you, Daddy.

I gotta go to work.

Oh, can't you just

play hooky? One day? Hmm?

Soon.

As you can see,

the numbers have definitely

gone up since the last quarter.

Michael,

you have done an amazing job

with the Kohler Project.

You did in three months what

would have taken most five.

But I am most impressed

with what you have done

with my nephew, David.

And so today,

we want to reward you

by promoting him to manager.

There is no greater reward

for a teacher

than to see his student

succeed.

Thank you.

Ma'am, it's Detective Snow,

can I speak to you, please?

There's been an incident that

I'd like to talk to you about.

Well, how can I help you?

Last year, were you visited

by a Mr. Tines?

It says here that you were one of

the last cases he was working on.

He was murdered last week.

Oh, God.

Where were you on the night

of April 5th?

April 5th, I was here

with my husband.

The entire night?

Ma'am?

Yes?

Were you home

the entire night?

Yes, I was here

with my husband.

Do you know a George Carter?

I do.

What's your relationship?

He's my foster brother.

I'm going to need you to come on down

to the station and make a statement.

I just gave you a statement, and I can't

leave. I have to stay and tend to my baby.

Do you know where I could find

this Mr. Carter, George Carter?

No.

Okay, well, thank you very

much for your time,

and here's my card, in case

he tries to contact you.

Shh, shh, shh. Come on.

Sush! Shut up.

Hey, Cat.

George.

Don't worry about anything.

I'm gonna take care of it, okay?

You just relax. I'm fine.

I'll take care of everything,

baby girl, okay?

Tell me that you didn't.

I can't talk to you right now,

I'm a little busy.

- Geor...

Shh. Just quiet down.

Come on. Very nice.

You wish your husband came home and

did that to you. You just relax.

Catherine.

Catherine.

Hey, babe!

Hey, April!

Baby, what's going on?

...What?

You should stay down,

you sh*t.

Well, now I'm really excited.

Your nipples are hard.

You're so beautiful.

Shh, shh, shh.

Babe, babe, it's me!

It's me. It's me.

Shh, shh, shh.

Hey, babe. We're home.

We're in our son's room.

It's okay.

Come here, I've got you.

What was that

last night?

What was what?

What do you mean, "what was what"?

What happened in Samson's room?

It's nothing.

Catherine, come on.

You know what it was.

I thought the doctor said the medicine

would take care of that sort of thing.

I stopped taking the medicine.

You what?

I can't take that medicine

and nurse.

You gotta take

the medicine.

It might hurt Samson.

We don't want that.

Do we?

We'll talk about it later,

when I get back.

Thanks for breakfast.

I gotta go.

Daddy gotta go, Sam-Sam.

You be good for Mommy, okay?

You be good, you be good.

Thank you.

Have a good day.

Is Mike in there?

- Okay, thank you.

- Hey.

What's up, sib?

- How you doin'?

- What's up, G? Very busy.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah, man.

You got no time for family

anymore, man?

I know I owe you lunch. I told you I

promised you lunch. I've just been busy.

Look at all this crap,

projects and deadlines.

Wow.

Well, I hope married life is

treating you better than this, man.

Catherine's just worried about

you, so I thought I'd check in.

Worried? What do you mean?

You know that girl loves you, man.

She'd do anything to keep you happy.

Yeah.

Look, G, no offense, uh,

but what happens between me and my wife,

I think it should stay right there,

between me and her.

My bad.

I just care about

the both of you, so...

Okay, Momma's here.

Momma hears you, Samson.

I know.

I know, okay.

Come here.

It's okay.

- Tell me something.

- Mmm-hmm?

What's up with

her sleeping problems?

- Her sleeping problems?

- Yeah, sleeping problems.

- Probably nothing, man.

- What do you mean, "nothing"?

Well, come on, man. We all have something

that we don't want to tell everyone about.

You know?

What about

when you were in college

and your scholarship money didn't come

through, so I had to loan you 5,000?

I mean now, you got a big job,

you got a big office.

So, you want that back, huh?

You want the money back?

I care that you have a good job and

that you're taking care of your family.

Hello?

Catherine?

How... How did you

get in here? You have a key?

Oh, of course Michael

gave me a key.

Well, I'm sure it was

for emergencies only.

Well, when you didn't answer the door in a

timely fashion, I assumed something was wrong.

No, I was cooking, and then I

laid down. I didn't hear you.

You cook?

Oh, how nice! Domestic.

Well, anyway, I'm here.

Well, have a seat

in the loft. I'll be right back.

Thank you.

You seem uneasy.

Oh, no, I'm fine.

Are you sure?

Have you slept?

The baby has colic and...

So, I'm just up a lot.

You know, I'm so sorry

that I interrupted your day,

but since it doesn't seem

to be

the priority of you or my son

that I get to see my

grandson at all, I'm sorry.

I took matters

into my own hands.

Um...

That's not how it is.

Mrs. Wright.

Oh, my goodness. Look, can we

get rid of the formalities?

You treat me like

I'm a stranger.

I'm sorry.

Lorraine.

Thanks.

Well, to be honest, I think, um,

being a stay-at-home mother

has been

a difficult transition for me.

Oh, my God.

Funny.

I guess it's tragic going from waiting

tables to being taken care of.

Let's be frank, Lorraine.

Please.

I know you think Michael

made a mistake marrying me.
