The Next Morning

Amanda walks in and Fin walks up to her.

Fin: I covered for you.

Amanda: Sorry. My sister's back in town.

Fin: What's her problem now?

Amanda: She's pregnant, and Jeff's the father. Her abusive ex. She broke it off with him, but I guess he followed her up here, so..

Olivia: Look, if he's stalking her, get a temp order.

Fin: She know where he is?

Amanda: She could find out.

Amaro: We'll go talk to him, man to man.

Amanda: No, no, y'all don't need to get dragged into my family business.

Fin: Forget it. We got your back, Amanda.

At a Bar

Fin and Amaro walk in and up to Jeff.

Amaro: Jeff Parker, Kim's not coming to meet you.

Jeff: Amanda put you up to this? She's crazy.

He goes to take a drink and Amaro pushes the glass back onto the bar.

Amaro: Kim's moved on. So should you.

Jeff: You guys got it all wrong. She--she called me, all right? She said she missed me. Asked me to come up.

Fin: Was that before or after you gave her a black eye? Listen, you touch her again, we send you back to Georgia with your ass in a sling.

At a Baby Store

Kim: So they let you take a long lunch whenever you want? Must be nice, being a detective.

Amanda: You know, just a heads up.
Nick and Fin talked to Jeff, unofficial warning.

Kim: They didn't have to do that.
[Laughs] Look, they're so little.

Amanda: You want a boy or a girl? Did the doctor tell you yet?

Kim: I told him I didn't really want to know. It's gonna be amazing, having a baby.

Amanda: It's not gonna be easy, on your own. I'll have you, right?

Jeff walks in.

Jeff: Hey, I got something to say to you!

Amanda: Hey, hey, hey, hey! How'd you find us?

Jeff: If you don't want to be found, then don't check in on Foursquare.

Kim: That was just a shout out to my girls at the Huddle House.

Amanda: You know what? Get out of here, Jeff.

Jeff: Can you butt out, Amanda? I need to talk to my fiance.

Kim: No, I told you that is not happening.

Amanda: You know what? You're done, Jeff, okay? - Stay away from her.

Jeff: Or what? You gonna pull your gun out on me in the middle of a baby store?

Amanda: You're not gonna get another warning, okay?

Jeff: This ain't over, not by a long shot.
