Flesh and Blood - Recap

The scene opens Sutton responding to a disturbance call at a retirement home. An elderly man tries to tell Sutton all the details of what is going on and Sutton says that he will handle it. He knocks on a door and a man answers the door with nothing but a cake to cover his private parts. He apologizes and says that he thought that Sutton was someone else. He tells that it is alright and for him to keep it down. However, Sutton realizes that the room that he thought was the room reported to have the disturbance was elsewhere. A door in the corner of the hall slips open and Sutton approaches. He finds the place tossed and finds a man in a pool of blood on the bed. He calls it in and Dwight and Whitehead arrive on scene. They see that the man was beaten and left for dead. However, they see that there is someone else’s blood on the bed too before the man. They find that the man’s name is Sam Walter, a Defense Attorney. Dwight says that they need to look into his work and see if any of the clients are to blame for this.

Meanwhile, Greenback tells that Sam is on the lease of the apartment and that Sam and his wife live in Germantown. Lt. Rice thinks that Sam was having this on the side to cheat on his wife because a couple of residents saw a young woman with Sam. Greenback says that Sam’s wife is not home and she isn’t picking up her phone either. Rice tells that they may have themselves a suspect. Dwight and Whitehead get to the office of Sam and sit down with his secretary. She is emotional and says that Sam was working with things off the books. She shows them a list of people who Sam was working with. They get back to the scene of the crime to find Sutton cleaning up. They hear a baby and Sutton sees that it is in the back of his patrol car. Dwight picks her up and Whitehead says that she is wrapped up with the same sheet inside. They get inside the station and they feel that the wife of Sam killed Sam because he had an affair with the young woman. Greenback says Sam got a check from Peter Branson every month and then Sam wrote a check to someone else in the same amount. Sutton comes in with the baby and tells that Social Services are not in. Lt. Rice grabs the crying baby and sings what she wants the Detectives to do. She tells Sutton to play Nanny until Social Services are in.

Greenback has Peter Branson come into the station and asks why Sam was getting checks from him. He says that Sam was helping him and his wife adopt a child because they can’t have kids and the State won’t let him adopt because he is a former felon. Greenback tells that Sam is dead and Peter asks about the baby. Greenback is interested on how he knew about the baby and Peter says that he didn’t kill Sam because Sam was helping him get a baby. Whitehead says that Sam’s wife was on a cruise and didn’t know anything about it. They realize none of the other residents have no clue who the woman was. However, Dwight sees a homless woman on the street. Dwight asks if she has seen a pregnant or have a new baby. She tells that a young girl was nice and gave her a “God’s Path” shirt. Dwight gives the cookies that Whitehead got from the residents. They go to “God’s Path”, a half-way house for women. They talk with the nuns there and they tell that they have no information. Dwight realizes that one of the nuns is not maintaining eye contact and Dwight tells that they’re going to have to take them all in. Sister Catherine speaks up and tells that she is the baby’s mother. They take her down to the station and Lt. Rice tells that she can’t believe that they are talking to a nun about this.

Dwight walks into the room and asks about the baby being in the back of the Police car and she tells that she had the baby at the apartment and Sam was helping her. However, after she was recovering, a person banged on the door. Sam told her to take the baby and run. Dwight asks who the baby’s father is and she tells that she can’t tell him that. Dwight tells that he doesn’t believe a word she is saying. Meanwhile, Sutton is watching the baby and has her on the copy machine. Greenback tries to make copies and Sutton tells that he can’t move the baby because she will start yelling. Dwight’s mother comes in and tells Sutton that he did a good job and says that the baby is asleep. Whitehead says that Sister Catherine’s story checks out and says that the nurse told him that the father of the baby is tall, but that is all she could tell. He says that they told him that Sister Catherine used the name Christie. Lt. Rice comes out and asks where they are. Whitehead says that since illegal adoption was the thing, the father probably wanted a bigger cut.

Dwight and Whitehead are on stakeout and see Sister Catherine comes out and is stopped by a man. Dwight runs up and the man runs off and drives off. They question Sister Catherine and she tells that it is her father, Harlan Thomas, was who was trying to attack her. She tells that Harlan was the one who was going to get a $25,000 finders fee. Sam called Harlan that the deal was off and that Harlan was the one who killed Sam. Dwight asks why she didn’t tell them before and she tells that she didn’t want to believe that he could kill someone. Whitehead and Dwight get back to the station and tell Lt. Rice the update. Whitehead pours what he thinks is water only to find milk in the jug. Sutton comes in and tells that the milk is for the baby. Lt. Rice goes through Sister Catherine’s bag and finds car keys. Lt. Rice tells them to find the car to find the baby’s father. Dwight and Whitehead manage to find the car and find that the father of the baby is Damon. They tell that they have Sister Catherine. The father of Damon says that Christie is not a nun. He shows a picture of her and Dwight says that Sister Catherine is not the baby’s mother, she is her aunt.

They get back to the station and Lt. Rice is not happy with the update. Dwight goes into find Sutton and his mother practicing putting on diapers on cans and tells that he needs to borrow the baby. Sutton asks when Dwight is going to settle down and have children. He tells them not to worry about it and walks into the interview room with the baby. Sister Catherine lights up and tells that he has had enough of her lying. She tells that her sister Christie and Damon are fine. She agrees to give him the address. He takes the baby and sings her to sleep. Sister Catherine tells that her father used to be good, until Christie’s mother died. Greenback tells that apparently Harlan has a debt of $25,000 that he has to pay to a bookie. Sutton comes by and Greenback tells Sutton has spit-up on his back, but Sutton doesn’t care. They get a call that tells that they have a location of Harlan’s car. It is right outside the station. Dwight goes out and tells the person in the car to get out. It is Damon, the baby’s father. He tells that Harlan has Christie and he says that he has to get the baby.

They go to the hotel and see that Harlan is holding Christie inside with a shotgun. Lt. Rice tells Sister Catherine that she needs to talk to her father because she can reach him better than they can. Social Services come by to pick up the baby. Paula Anne goes into see Sutton with the baby and tells that the Social Services have come. He says that babies are so cute and that it was a nice time spending time and taking care of one. They say goodbye to the baby. Back at the hotel, Sister Catherine talks to her father and manages to get him out of the hotel and Christie is saved. They hug and the father is escorted off to prison while Christie and Sister Catherine hug. Later, Sister Catherine comes in with cookies for the station and tells that the baby is under Damon’s father’s custody until they decide what they want to do. Dwight tells Whitehead that if Sutton asks, they named the baby Pereira. Whitehead agrees only if Dwight gives up his half of the cookies. The episode ends.
