When Chimney shows up at Buck’s apartment, he doesn’t notice Taylor standing at the top of the stairs and witnessing the argument and the punch. Her decision on how to handle the situation after Chimney left changes the course for all of them.

Summary
"What happened?"
"Brown and Rafe were on a stakeout. Just as the suspect was coming out of his apartment, a news van drove up to ask them about setting up an interview with me. A car chase ensued. Brown and Rafe wrecked."
A deep breath. "Were they injured?"
"Thankfully no. Just angry."
"At you?"
"No."
"But you're angry at you?"
"Yes." Jim smelled blood and looked at Blair's hands. His fingernails were curled tightly into his palms.
"Why--why did the reporter want an interview with you?"
"They wanted to interview the sentinel."
Blair paled. "They didn't believe me?"

"I trust you to protect me, but I don't think I trust you to protect yourself. I think that's where we always get it wrong. You didn't think I could handle knowing you were dreaming about killing me, and I didn't think you could handle knowing about Alex Barnes. We were both waiting for the timing to be 'right,' whatever the hell that means." -

Summary
“So, everything will be pretty straight forward. We’ll have opening statements, present evidence, you’ll testify.” Dana waved her hand over her files. “We’ll go over your testimony before you do so that when Mr. Malloy’s attorney questions you, you’ll be prepared to—”
“Do I have to?” Buck asked, flinching when Dana’s eyes turned sharp. “Do I have to testify?”
A fine tremor had settled into Buck’s hands, working up his arms into his shoulders, and Bobby couldn’t help but feel like he was watching Buck splinter in front of him.
Buck gets attacked on a call and swept up in a whirlwind of events that he never asked for. -

Summary
“I have a minute,” Bobby, still standing there, says when Eddie just blinks at him, frozen. “Are you okay? You look like you need to sit down.”
“I’m, uh,” Eddie swallows, “I’m cursing the patriarchy. Just give me a second.”
or, eddie has a question to ask.
