Synopsis:

Renée Montoya has been outed at work, a photograph of her with her girlfriend Daria posted up on the noticeboard. Some of the squad do not take it well, and Montoya does not take kindly to Maggiw Sawyer and Crispus Allen's attempts to help her. Later, she discovers that a copy of the photograph was also posted to her parents, devout Catholics, and although her brother covered for her, telling them it was bound to be a fake, they really need to talk to her. That night, she and Daria encounter Marty Lipari, the man who wants to sue her. Shortly after this encounter, Marty Lipari is shot dead.
