Lucas and Sullivan have a work-out, and give one another advice.

Sullivan notices the vigor with which his friend Lucas attacks the heavy bag.

"Mayhorn?"

"Mayhorn", Ripley concedes, pausing in his workout.

"How did you...ARE YOU...dealing with the Herrera-Gibson not so recent 'past', with him in the same station?"

Sully replies,"Their previous time together was way before you recruited me from the 88; I'm a little to blame for the most recent 'hooking-up'...we all have a past, right?"

"Right...Mayhorn's on B shift, so I never see him, unless it's on scene. All three of you are A shift." It's half question, half statement.

"After Tanner was killed, and we decided not to promote her-Herrera -because of that; right on the heels of those two negative developments, it comes out that her Dad had been hiding the fact that he's terminal...I was blamed for the 'non-promotion', and for hiding Pruitt's illness. She felt that everyone was against her, mainly ME...it seemed that Gibson, after the Vasquez
shit, was under siege as well, so...she took refuge where she could. The way that YOU did after Patrice and Eva; the way I did after - after Claire. It's old news, Luke. I had put it out of my mind."

"Sorry, Mate..."

"Mate ??!"

Sorry! I talked to Eva last night - she's coming to Seattle. Claims that there are some docs to sign...about our property in Puget Sound. You know that my accent, and idioms, always linger a minute after I speak to an Australian."

"Boooo!", Sullivan grins. "Not about your ACCENT, about good 'ol EVA...does Vic know?"

"Tell her soon, Brother. SOON.

"It's good that we're close like this again, Bobby. I missed ya, and if that's bro-mantic, so be it."

"I can dig it."
