So Grace and the team have to decide whether these children's mother is alive or dead, kidnapped, off on a bender gambling with a boyfriend. At first they suspect the daughter, who they find out was adopted when she was three. She acts a little Sociopathic and her father says she is selfish and cold. She is obsessed with her nineteen year old boyfriend though she is fifteen, and is convinced that she loves him. This made me think that the boyfriend killed the mother. However, it turns out to be the little brother, who goes into these psychotic violent fits that therapists say is induced by the divorce, and that they are only a form of attention seeking behavior. Well after seeing how he freaked out and what he did to Grace's arm at the precinct, i'd say that's a little more than a child looking for attention. We find out that the daughter and mother had gotten into a fight and the boy hit his mother with a baseball bat just to get her to stop. He didn't really know what he was doing but he wound up killing his mother. So, Clay confronted Ham and explained that he knew about him and Grace and that it wasn't cool. To pay him back he makes Clay do whatever he says, as Clay is following the Explorers program. Ham makes him wear his pants backwards. While there was a commotion in the interrogation room with Grace and the boy that was hurting her arm, Clay got in the way and was knocked over by the cops. He got a little bump on his head which sparked his father to pull him out of the Explorers program, which is something Clay really wants to do. When Grace confronts him about it he says he doesn't want his son to turn out like Grace. Ok, so what is the deal with this crazy girl coming around all of a sudden to see Butch? She is potential psychotic material. I was a little confused whether the entire thing was a joke, or if she really had gone out with Butch before and he never called her back. Either way the joke that was played at the end was pretty funny, but you have to have a certain sense of humor to appreciate a joke like that. Another great episode.moreless
