Summary[]
Monroe is pregnant and continues to work with the squad even though no one wants anything to do with her. She tries to talk to Ty, but he doesn't want to talk to her.
Ben Reynolds, the kid who fell in the playground (from "The L Word") calls Brendan's cell phone. Ben tells Brendan that his daddy is hurting his mommy. When Brendan finally arrives at the Reynolds' apartment, he finds his mother stabbed and Ben missing.
Brendan and Ty work with detectives Faith and Jelly to track down Ben and his father, who has gone off his psychotic medication. They finally track them to the printing house where Ben's dad used to work, and they end up in a car chase.
Ben's dad, cornered, threatens to slit Ben's throat, but instead lets his son go and slits his own throat. Brendan counsels a confused Ben on loving his father even if his father has done bad things.
