Pulling over, Kenna places the truck into park and turns off the ignition before looking at the sight in front of her with a sorrow look across her face.

Ms. Simpson: "When can we go back inside?" she asked, after the children cheered while watching the truck and squad companies exit the building.

Boden: "We have to check with the gas company, ma'am, and they'll tell you when it's safe."

Woman: "Ms. Simpson, I was looking for Leonard to get the keys to the shed. No one's seen him."

Ms. Simpson: "Oh, God."

Boden: "Everyone, stop. We're going back in."

Matt: "Leonard! Down here? Call out!" he shouts, as the rest of the men make their way through the basement.

Herrmann: "You guys smell anything? Are we sure they cut off the gas lines?"

Kelly: "I shut it down myself."

Matt: "Smells like chemicals." he tells them, before spotting the lab equipment, "Crystal meth! Masks on!"

Herrmann: "Really, Leonard, with the kids up there?" he remarks, after they find the unconscious man.

Boden: "Okay, everyone, listen up. Everyone on scene will have a baseline drug test. Today."

Otis: "Happy Thanksgiving."

Mouch: "Uh-huh."

Shay: "Hey, Chief, Dawson and I didn't go down there."

Boden: "I don't care. Anybody on the premises. We're gonna want to know how much any of you may have in your system."

Shay: "Okay." she nods, before making her way back to Gabby and mumbling, "Kenna picked the right morning to miss."

Gabby: "Shay."

Shay: "Yeah, I know. I know where she is." she sighs, as they share a woeful look with one another, confusing Mills.

Mills: "Wait, where is Kenna?"

Gabby: "She's visiting her parents."

Kenna threw her car keys into her bag, grabbed a drink tray with three small cups and a blanket, that was on the passenger's seat. After, she got out of the car and made her way through the slightly damp grass, until arriving among two headstones that read 'Edward Reyes' and 'Marta Reyes'.

Kenna: "Hey, dad. Hey, mom." she greets, setting down the drinks, before opening the blanket and placing it on the ground, "So, I got some pumpkin pie flavored coffee this morning, mom. The barista couldn't stop raving about it, so I thought I'd try it, mainly to shut her up, but it did sound interesting. And don't worry dad, I still got you tea, I know how much you hate the taste of coffee." she mumbles, placing the two cups in front of the graves, before taking the third cup for herself. Kenna then stares at the headstones with a solemn look, "God, I miss you both."

Gabby: "Look at you." she says with a smile, as Mills chops up an onion.

Mills: "Restaurant tricks."

Gabby: "Impressive."

Mouch: "Look at these chumps." he scoffs, while watching the parade on TV.

Cruz: "Are you kidding, man? Parade detail is great."

Mouch: "Peter Mills, hold your arm up." he instructs him, as Mills raises his arm, "Now keep it there for five hours. That's what being in the parade is."
