"Hey. You know that there's a heat advisory today, so you're supposed to be, like, taking in fluids? Which means drink stuff. I don't know why they don't say that. Uh Steve wrote you a letter." Gail said to Tracy who was working out in her grad am while Gail was holding a coffee and a letter "Good for him." Tracey said still punching the bag "He told me that you're not taking his calls." Gail asked her "Nothing to say." Tracey answered "What about listening to him? I mean, if he's guilty and I'm not saying that he is, but there's got to be an explanation. Traci, come on. The last couple weeks have been awful. Everyone is just staring at me, feeling sorry for me." Gail explained to her "Nobody feels sorry for you." Tracey snapped back at her "Oh, what, you think that you have the monopoly on that? Your brother did the worst possible thing a police officer could do. He's a liar, he's on the take, and quite frankly, I think that's par for the course, Gail. So you think we're the same? Honestly, I don't know what to believe anymore." Tracey explained to her angrily.
Meanwhile.....
"I thought couples were supposed to, uh, fight when they plan weddings." Sam said to Andy as they were walking to work with there hands rapped around each other "Yeah, what's there to fight about? I mean, Oliver's back. Life is weird. I remain grateful." Andy said to him "So so, we're good, then? Christmas wedding well, December 12th. Reception at the Valiant. No, uh, special requests? No big-day fantasies?" Sam explained and asked her as they just arrived at work "Just don't wear jeans." She asked him "Jean Jacket?" he said "No. No! No denim at all, okay? And maybe let's try to cap it on the embarrassing speeches and, you know, relatives getting too drunk. Not into that." She asked him "Okay" he answered "uh, there's actually one more thing. Maybe no Marlo. Is that a crappy thing to say? I mean, I-I think it is, but at the same time, I feel like I can"'she asked Sam as she was cut off by a kiss off from Sam "No Marlo." He replied "Thank you."'she said as they both walked into work.

After everyone had the day to day debrief everyone went to collect there weapons and equipment.
"Just got a call from Marlo. Uh, there's been a stabbing at Lakehurst. The mental-health facility?" Sam said to Andy as he was walking from the door were he was standing when Diaz & Oliver left "I know Lakehurst." Andy replied back to him "Yeah, okay. Anyway, Marlo was there doing a group-therapy thing, and somebody got stabbed and then robbed, and, uh, Collins and Moore are on their way. I'm heading over now. It's gonna be a zoo, and I need your help." Sam asked his fiancé nicely "Fine. Let's go." She said as she got her things together "Thank you." He said "It'll be better than handing out water." She answered back to him as they both walked out the door "Mm-hmm." Sam replied.
When Andy and Sam arrived at the crime scene Nick and Duncun were all ready there waiting.
"Oh, uh, the crib arrived last night. It's beautiful. They even set it up." Marlo said to Sam "Good. Yeah, we looked at a few of those. I just didn't know you actually went through with one of them. Walnut or honey?" Andy said to Sam and Marlo as they were walking along the corridor "Uh Espresso. I went with my gut last second." Sam replied to Andy "Espresso. That's a great choice." Andy said to Sam looking at him as they were walking down the stairs "So, I am three weeks away, give or take. I'm working on my birthing plan, but when the baby's born, she'll have to be with me 'cause I make the food." Marlo explained to Sam and Andy "Takes a village, right?" Sam answered "Um, they're just through there. Just excuse me for a minute." Marlo asked.

"Hey, look who it is. Sadie." Sam said to Andy walking into the big living room "Oh! Sam. Andy. Long time." Sadie said walking up to them as they both replied to her "Hi. Hi." "What are you doing here?" Sam asked her "Uh, well, I just come in a couple times a week you know, coping skills, um, anxiety-management stuff. Just, you know, trying to keep it together." Sadie explained to both of them "Good for you. I'm glad to hear you're getting your life sorted out." Andy said to her "Trying to." She answered.
"Any news about that guy?" Sadie continued "Did you know him?" Sam asked "Well, not really, but I've seen him in group a couple of times. He seems nice." She said to Andy and Sam "You didn't see anything that happened?" Andy asked her "No. W-well, w-we were the first ones to find him, but he was already lying there" Sadie said "So, h-h-he was in your group earlier today" Sam asked her "uh Yeah. Um, he was there maybe like 15 minutes, and then he said he had to go the can, so Man, this place is starting to feel crazy. I mean, we're all crazy, right? But Like, crazier." She said to them both acting really weird "Sadie, why don't you have a seat? It's nice to see you. Okay. Uh, everyone, uh, thanks for your patience. We're gonna be taking your, uh, statements in a few minutes. So just settle in, get comfortable. We appreciate your cooperation. Thanks." Sam said with Andy by his side.
It was a long day with a case on deck and Marlo giving birth it was tuff on Andy but she's strong and she knew that they could get through it but how long could she keep this up for, it's just a matter of time before she breaks and crashes.
