I don't think you took the chapter wrong. Carly's being a...Witch with a capital B. 
I Guess
Interview room
Rafael: So what am I doing here again?
Calleigh: A staff member of the Miami Art Museum was murdered last week. Video evidence shows you ran in after her.
Rafael: Your evidence is wrong.
Colton: *places folder on table* Evidence is never wrong.
Rafael: *looks at folder*
Calleigh: How did you know her?
Rafael: I want my lawyer.
Calleigh: You'll get one. As soon as you answer the question.
Rafael: She was Pat's friend.
Colton: Friend, how close?
Rafael: They were sleeping together, is that close enough for you?
Calleigh: Do you know what their argument was about?
Rafael: Something about paychecks. I was there when Pat threw her into the wall.
Colton: Why did you run after her?
Rafael: She was upset so I was going to go talk to her. Now can I have my lawyer?
Calleigh: She was murdered and you were the last one to see her alive.
Rafael: I'm not saying anything without a lawyer.
Calleigh: *leaves*
Colton: Uh...We'll be back. *leaves*
Rafael: *rolls eyes*
Hallway
Colton: What's up?
Calleigh: We're at dead ends and he's the only one who knows what happened.
Colton: We'll get him if he did this.
Calleigh: *smiles* I know. I just needed a breather, I guess.
Colton: Let's get some evidence on him.
Calleigh: Okay.
Colton: *grabs Calleigh's hand*
Calleigh: *grinning*
Horatio: *walks over* Have you seen Anni and Jess?
Colton: *lets go of Calleigh* No.
Calleigh: Not recently. They might be in the layout room though.
Horatio: Thank you. *walks away*
Colton: *sigh*
Calleigh: *looks down at floor*
Colton: Uh, I was meaning to ask you something actually.
Calleigh: Really.
Colton: I was wondering if you know, after work you uh...Wanted to go uh....Well, for maybe some coffee or s-
Speed: *walks over*
Colton: *looks at Speed* Uh, I left something in ballistics. *runs off*
Speed: What was that about?
Calleigh: Huh?
Speed: Colton. He ran off.
Calleigh: I think he was asking me out.
Speed: *frowns* Why.
Calleigh: *smiles* He was just being nice, Tim.
Speed: Guys are never just being nice.
Calleigh: Well...Except you, right?
Speed: I hurt you.
Calleigh: I know.
Speed: ...
Calleigh: ...
Speed: *clears throat* Alright awkward.
Calleigh: I think I'll accept.
Speed: If he gives you a hard time, send him to me.
Calleigh: *laughs* That's very sweet but I can take care of myself.
Speed: *nods*
Calleigh: ...
Speed: ...
Calleigh: I really thought I loved you once.
Speed: *stares at Calleigh*
Calleigh: *walks away*
Speed: *looks around*
Layout room
Horatio: *walks in*
Anni: *wide-eyed*
Jess: *hides behind Anni*
Horatio: *frowning* Ladies...
Jess: SHE DID IT!
Anni: IT WAS HER! HER AND HER BIG BOOBS!
Jess: Have mercy.
Horatio: This is beyond unacceptable. You destroyed lab property. Who do you think gets the bill?
Anni: ...God?
Horatio: Me. It's bad enough you dragged a child into it.
Across room
Delko: *looks up from files*
Layout room
Horatio: Both of you go home.
Jess: ...Okay we'll just go right n-
Horatio: No. You are going back to Wyoming and Anni you are going back to wherever the hell we picked you up from.
Anni: *lifts brow* You're not serious right?
Horatio: *glaring*
Delko: *walks over* Hey H?
Horatio: Eric this is not a good time.
Delko: It was my fault.
Horatio: I appreciate what you're trying to do b-
Delko: No. I'm the one who instigated all of it. Carly didn't say anything because she didn't want to get me fired from the lab. Jess and Anni had nothing to do with it.
Horatio: You.
Delko: Yes sir.
Horatio: *looks at Anni and Jess*
Jess: ...
Anni: ...
Horatio: Eric they do not leave your sight. You understand?
Delko: I do.
Horatio: *walks away*
Jess: You didn't have to do that.
Delko: Just don't do it again.
Anni: Oh you have our word. Scouts honor.
Jess: So what's our punishment?
Delko: You don't get one. I'm not Horatio. I think what just happened is punishment enough. Now, get back to work.
Anni: Where?
Delko: You're supposed to be working with Calleigh and Colton. Jess, you're supposed to be cleaning the Trace lab.
Jess: Oh yeah.
Anni: Oh yeah.
Delko: Get to it.
Carly/Josh's house, 6 pm
Lori: *stabbing potatoes*
Carly: Eat your food.
Lori: It's gross.
Carly: It's food.
Lori: Can't we have something else?
Carly: No. You'll eat what I give you.
Lori: Fine.
Carly: That's not what I want to hear.
Lori: ...*mumbles* Yes ma'am.
Carly: Excuse me?
Lori: I said YES MA'AM. You want me to scream it from the roof too?
Carly: Eat the food.
Lori: *shakes head* I didn't know you were this bitchy.
Carly: You want to come say that to my face?
Lori: No.
Carly: Then get back to your dinner.
Lori: *rolls eyes*
Carly: Don't you roll your eyes at me.
Lori: *frowns*
Carly: You've been here three days and you haven't learned a thing.
Lori: What am I supposed to be learning?
Carly: Manners young lady.
Lori: *stabs potatoes*
Carly: *grabs plate from Lori, throws it into the sink*
Lori: *flinches*
Carly: If you won't eat it, you'll get to clean it out of the sink. Go do it.
Lori: ...
Carly: DO IT!
Lori: Yes ma'am. *walks over to sink*
Carly: *grabs wooden spoon* I don't want any more lip from you. You hear me?
Lori: Yes ma'am.
Josh: *walks in* Hey I'm home.
Carly: *smiles* Josh, how was your day?
Josh: It was alright. I have a conference in Orlando tomorrow so I'll be gone most of the week. How's Lori?
Lori: I-
Carly: She's fine.
Josh: Lori, did you have a good day at school today?
Lori: Yes sir.
Josh: *lifts brow* Good. You have any homework?
Lori: Yes sir.
Josh: ...Well you had better get to it.
Lori: Yes sir. *walks upstairs*
Carly: She's very polite.
Josh: Yeah she is. Why is she calling me 'sir'?
Carly: Because that's how she is to address us.
Josh: Why?
Carly: Well my father taught me to do that and I turned out alright.
Josh: He raised you in a boot camp?
Carly: *laughs* No. I just had more discipline than most kids. It made me a better person.
Josh: I'm sure it did.
Carly: Anyway, she's working on math tonight and she's struggling with it. Go help her.
Josh: Alright she can come down here with her stuff. There's more light.
Carly: Good. I'll cook desert.
10 minutes later
Lori: *erasing lines* This doesn't make any sense.
Josh: Well now, you'll get the hang of it. Just keep trying.
Lori: *angry sigh* I just don't see why that equasion has anything to do with that formula.
Josh: Well think of it this way. If you were to manipulate that formula and find that variable, you'd be able to find this variable with that formula.
Lori: *blank stare*
Josh: Right?
Lori: I-I guess. Yeah.
Carly: Lori...
Lori: ...Yes sir.
Josh: Okay so try that formula.
Lori: *writing things*
Josh: Okay, so what does that equal to?
Lori: A headache.
Josh: *laughs* No. Here, try this.
Lori: I am trying.
Josh: *writes things down* Okay well if you have this, and that, you can cancel these out and then you're left with that. Then manipulate the formula.
Lori: *writing things* Okay.
Carly: *clears throat*
Lori: *sigh* Yes sir.
Josh: Wait, you have to reverse those first.
Lori: Why?
Josh: Because in order to cancel it, you have to reverse the variables.
Lori: Why?
Josh: It's the rules.
Lori: Well I don't get why.
Josh: It's very simple Lori.
Lori: No it's not.
Carly: Lori.
Lori: *glares* No SIR it's not.
Josh: Just try it again.
Lori: I can't do this.
Josh: Yes you can.
Lori: NO I CAN'T! I DON'T GET IT! *throws books*
Josh: *sits up*
Lori: I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS!
Josh: Lori, calm down and pick up your books.
Lori: NO!
Josh: Lori you need to finish it.
Lori: *grabs books* I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT!
Josh: You will if you'll just sit down and w-
Lori: I CAN'T! *banging books on table* I CAN'T DO IT!
Carly: Lori, go to your room.
Lori: NO!
Carly: GO TO YOUR ROOM!
Lori: FINE! *throws books at Carly runs upstairs, slams door*
Carly: Boy is she going to get it now. *walks to stairs*
Josh: *runs over* Whoa, whoa, no. What are you doing?
Carly: She has to be punished.
Josh: She's a frustrated teenager. Just leave her alone.
Carly: Her actions have consequences.
Josh: Yeah I agree but maybe you should let her calm down so we can deal with her as adults.
Carly: Obviously talking to her calmly isn't helping.
Josh: No it's not, but yelling at her won't help either.
Carly: She needs discipline.
Josh: Again, I agree but...I think you're going about this the wrong way.
Carly: Didn't you ever get spanked as a child?
Josh: Yeah.
Carly: And did it teach you not to do whatever you did again?
Josh: Well yeah, but-
Carly: Then this is no different. She hasn't once stayed within her boundaries. Katie and Tim let her run wild.
Josh: I don't think they have. I think they treat her like an adult. She's allowed to make her own decisions, and her own mistakes.
Carly: Except she's still a child. And she spent half her life in a foreign country where anything goes. She needs to learn what's acceptable. *walks upstairs*
Josh: *frowns*
Lori's room
Carly: *walks in*
Lori: *looks up*
Carly: What are you doing?
Lori: I'm leaving.
Carly: No, you're staying right here.
Lori: You can't make me.
Carly: Yes I can.
Lori: Get lost. *pushes past Carly*
Carly: *grabs Lori's arm*
Lori: OW!
Carly: *squeezes* Get back in here.
Lori: AH!
Carly: Now.
Lori: *walks back over* Yes ma'am.
Carly: Get your math out, and start doing your homework.
Lori: Yes ma'am.
Carly: *lets go*
Lori: *rubs arm*
Carly: Now, will we have another problem?
Lori: No ma'am.
Carly: Good. *leaves*
Lori: *sits on bed*
Downstairs
Carly: She's fine now.
Josh: *nods*
Carly: I want you to go back up there in two hours and see if she's still doing her work.
Josh: Alright.
Carly: Good.
2 hours later
Lori's room
Josh: *walks in*
Lori: *working on math*
Josh: Hey.
Lori: *writing things down*
Josh: You almost done?
Lori: Yes sir.
Josh: *sits on bed* You need any help?
Lori: No sir.
Josh: You sure?
Lori: Yes sir.
Josh: Lori, you don't need to do that around me.
Lori: *drops pencil* I'm finished.
Josh: You are?
Lori: Yes sir.
Josh: Good job.
Lori: ...Thanks.
Josh: If you need anything, I'll be downstairs.
Lori: Alright.
Josh: *leaves*

When It Gets Cold
Carly's house, two days later
Carly: Alright Lori come help me cook this.
Lori: What is it?
Carly: It's a souffle.
Lori: Why are you making it?
Carly: I found this really neat cookbook.
Lori: What do you want me to do?
Carly: Stir this.
Lori: *grabs spoon*
Carly: Alright, I need two teaspoons of sugar. *grabs sugar*
Lori: *stirring*
Carly: So how was your math test?
Lori: I got an A.
Carly: *smiles* See? You can do it.
Lori: *smirks*
Carly: Look, I'm sorry I was a little rough on you before, but it's the only way for you to learn. I mean you spent half your childhood in a place where there was no rules.
Lori: I know.
Carly: So you understand the importance of this.
Lori: Yes ma'am.
Carly: Not to say that your parents don't do an excellent job raising you, but they're not always there.
Lori: *nods*
Carly: Josh and I, we love you very much. We only want the best for you.
Lori: I know.
Carly: Good.
Lori: *stirring*
Carly: So....What did you do in Columbia for fun?
Lori: Fun?
Carly: Yeah.
Lori: I never had fun.
Carly: Why not?
Lori: *looks down at bowl* I didn't have much free time.
Carly: You know, I think one of the reasons you have a problem with authority is because of where you came from.
Lori: Columbia.
Carly: Exactly.
Lori: I had to follow orders there and they were way worse than what you make me do.
Carly: Did you actually follow those orders?
Lori: Yes I did. All of them.
Carly: What did they make you do?
Lori: *puts bowl on table* That's none of your business.
Carly: ....I think you need some help. Professional help.
Lori: Why?
Carly: Well you've never really been able to tell anyone what happened. I'm sure you didn't tell your father everything.
Lori: You're right I didn't and he doesn't need to know.
Carly: Lori, what you've been doing....It's a cry for help. Back in Australia I've dealt with kids like you who have just come out of these traumatic situations.
Lori: So you think you understand me now.
Carly: No I don't. I'm just saying you need a way to heal.
Lori: I'll do that on my own.
Carly: *stirs ingredients*
Lori: ...
Carly: ....You must trust your father a great deal.
Lori: You know what this conversation is over.
Carly: I'm just trying to understand why you don't want help from anyone but him.
Lori: I've never asked for his help.
Knock on door is heard
Carly: That's probably him.
Lori: *looking down at table*
Carly: *opens door* Hey Tim.
Speed: Is she ready to go?
Carly: I think so.
Speed: *walks over* Come on, let's go. *touches Lori's shoulder*
Lori: *backs up* Don't touch me.
Speed: *lifts brow*
Lori: *walks upstairs*
Speed: What's her problem?
Carly: I don't know.
Speed: What did you say to her?
Carly: Nothing. Well...
Speed: Well what?
Carly: I asked her about Columbia. You know, maybe because that's the route cause of all of her agression.
Speed: You asked her about Columbia? Are you insane?
Carly: I needed to know what happened.
Speed: What did she tell you?
Carly: Nothing.
Lori: *walks downstairs* Let's go.
Speed: Are you okay?
Lori: *frowning*
Speed: Okay let's go then. *grabs Lori's arm*
Lori: *backs up* DON'T TOUCH ME!
Speed: *sigh* Lori, come on.
Lori: *runs outside*
Speed: *shakes head* Well this was a hell of an idea.

When It Comes To The Truth
Hummer
Lori: *looking out window*
Speed: Are you alright?
Lori: I'm fine.
Speed: So that's why you freaked out when I touched your arm.
Lori: Look, it's not about you. It's me.
Speed: *nods*
Lori: I'm just not feeling comfortable around anyone right now.
Speed: Is that why you broke up with Ash?
Lori: ...What?
Speed: You left your cell phone at home and it has 18 messages on it.
Lori: ...
Speed: This has been going on for longer than you're saying. Way before you were at Carly's house.
Lori: You don't get it do you? I'm never going to be able to deal with what happened. I can't sleep at night because of the nightmares, I can't concentrate at school because everything just seems so trivial compared to what I've seen, and I can't trust anyone because of it.
Speed: You can trust me.
Lori: ...You'll protect me right?
Speed: From what?
Lori: *looks back out window* I don't know.
Lab, next day
Colton: I went back to the Art Museum.
Calleigh: You find anything?
Colton: Feathers and the glue gun.
Calleigh: Where did you find it?
Colton: It was stashed under one of the stork eggs. Well, painted stork egg.
Calleigh: You test it for prints?
Colton: Yeah but the killer must have been wearing gloves because there was nothing on the glue gun.
Calleigh: Okay so what about the feathers?
Colton: Well they're synthetic and they're used mostly in the manufacturing of specialty clothes.
Calleigh: *smiles*
Colton: Why are you smiling?
Calleigh: Specialty clothes like lingerie?
Colton: I don't know, I've never been shopping for lingerie.
Calleigh: I think youv'e found the connection to our killer.
Colton: I have?
Calleigh: Yeah. But we don't have enough for a warrant. We have to prove that Rafael's store was the one that carried the feather-lined clothes.
Colton: ...Don't we have a bunch of clothes from the last case Speed and Anni investigated?
Calleigh: Yeah they're in the evidence locker.
Colton: Some of those had feathers.
Calleigh: Let's go check it out.
Layout room
Calleigh: *picks up feather* This was from one of those see-through robes.
Colton: Who shops at these places?
Calleigh: *laughs*
Colton: Okay so the feathers from this type of robe is a match to the feathers on our victim.
Calleigh: Yeah.
Colton: So he glued a bunch of feathers onto the victim with clothes from his store, after she was bleeding from the knock to the head.
Calleigh: The wound which she most likely got from the wall at Pat's house.
Colton: So she's running for her life, she runs into the Art Museum because it was unlocked, Rafael follows her, probably not to calm her down but to shut her up.
Calleigh: I'm guessing the argument about the money wasn't about the Art Museum. Probably cocaine.
Colton: So she dies in the dark room, and to throw us off of his trail, he makes it extra hard for us to catch him. He makes it seem like some kind of ritual killing and bolts.
Calleigh: ...Where's that list Tim had?
Colton: *goes through box* It's in here somewhere.
Calleigh: ...
Colton: Here it is. *passes over list*
Calleigh: *looks down at list, smiles*
Colton: What?
Calleigh: Judy Heatherington's name is on this list.
Colton: The victim.
Calleigh: Pat Aiken's name is also on the list.
Colton: Interesting.
Calleigh: I think we have them both for murder.
Colton: Who knew you could kill two birds with one stone.
Calleigh: *rolls eyes*
Colton: Yeah lame, I know.

With You By My Side
Lounge
Anni: This is SO boring.
Jess: Yeah well this is what we get for getting me stuck.
Anni: Yeah it was all your fault.
Jess: Was not.
JC: *walks in* Hey what are we talking about?
Anni: Jess got us in trouble by getting stuck in the fence.
Jess: It is not my fault property got damaged. IT WAS A RESCUE MISSION!
Anni: Horatio didn't see it that way.
JC: Well Horatio's in a bad mood.
Anni: Why? What happened?
JC: We got into a small argument.
Jess: Over what?
JC: It doesn't matter. He won't talk to me.
Anni: That's not like him.
JC: He's that mad.
Missy: *walks in* OH MY GOD!
Jess: What?
Missy: I like to make an entrance. *sits on couch*
JC: I just wish we could work things out. I mean over the past week he's just been so angry. I don't know what to do.
Missy: Give him chocolate. That always makes me feel better when I'm down.
JC: I don't think chocolate will help.
Anni: Give him a kick in the a-
Jess: What Anni means to say is confront him about it. Ask what's wrong, and how you can fix it.
JC: Yeah except he's not returning my calls and he's been avoiding me all day.
Missy: Throw chocolate at him.
JC: I'm not going to throw food at him.
Missy: No, not food. CHOCOLATE.
Anni: Usually Horatio's pretty reasonable.
Jess: Yeah but he was pretty mad with us too, so maybe he's just in a bad mood about something else.
Anni: IAB maybe.
Jess: Or Yelina.
Missy: Chocolate deficiency.
Everyone: *looks at Missy*
Missy: It happens.
Jess: Okay well maybe you should just wait it out. He's never held a grudge.
JC: I guess you're right.
Delko: *walks in* Aren't you guys supposed to be working?
Jess: We're taking a break.
Delko: *looks at watch* A three hour break?
Jess: It takes me a while to drink coffee.
Delko: Guys, Horatio's going to be even more mad if he finds out you're wasting time.
JC: *crying* HE WON'T STOP BEING MAD!
Halls
Calleigh: Great job on the case. *smiles*
Colton: Why thank you.
Calleigh: We make a great team.
Colton: We do.
Calleigh: I look forward to working together again. Feels like old times.
Colton: Minus Trevor.
Calleigh: *laughs* Yeah well that's a plus.
Colton: *laughs*
Calleigh: *looks down at floor*
Colton: Would you like to have dinner tonight?
Calleigh: *lifts head* ...With me?
Colton: Yeah. You know, at one of those fancy restaurants with the people who play the violins and the actual real fireplaces in the corner of the room.
Calleigh: *smiles* I would love that.
Colton: Great. I'll pick you up tonight at around 7:30?
Calleigh: Sounds terrific.
Colton: I'll see you then. *leaves*
Calleigh: You too.

We'll Make It Through
Outside Lab
Stetler: Alright here's the plan. *hands over notebook*
Megan: *looks down at papers* Aw you drew these? They're cute. Is that supposed to be you with the handcuffs?
Stetler: *frowns* No that's Horatio.
Megan: Oh. So is this you with the muscles?
Stetler: *grabs paper* You know what? Don't look at the plan. I'll tell you.
Megan: I'm listening.
Stetler: This is going to be better than the time I followed them and made a fake crime scene and then almost killed them. *cackles*
Megan: ....I heard you followed them on a pink tricycle and then they tasered you and then you were shot.
Stetler: They had the advantage that time, I have the advantage this time.
Megan: Ah. So what's your advantage?
Stetler: You.
Megan: Me.
Stetler: You're going to get all of their trust until their guard is down. Then when I say, set them up to make a mistake.
Megan: So....They have to actually make a mistake before we can do anything.
Stetler: Legally yes.
Megan: But that's what we normally do.
Stetler: Okay I knew you were going to say that so I have a contingency plan.
Megan: Contingency plan?
Stetler: Plan B.
Megan: I know what a contingency plan is. I wanted to know what your plan was.
Stetler: Well I drew another sketch. *hands over paper*
Megan: *turns pages* ...Who's this?
Stetler: Calleigh Duquesne.
Megan: And this?
Stetler: Eric Delko.
Megan: And this?
Stetler: Tim Speedle.
Megan: ...Who's that?
Stetler: That's me carrying the handcuffs.
Megan: Yeah but what's in your other hand?
Stetler: That is tainted water.
Megan: You're going to poison their water?
Stetler: Yep.
Megan: I can have YOU arrested for that.
Stetler: They'll just feel a little loopy for a while. Almost like they're drunk. It's easier for them to make a mistake that way.
Megan: You can't poison people.
Stetler: It's not poison. It won't hurt them and it'll only last for 24 hours.
Megan: What happens if someone has adverse effects?
Stetler: I've tried it on you.
Megan: WHAT!
Stetler: You sure get giggly.
Megan: *sigh* Rick.
Stetler: When I slip this into their water, they will definitely make mistakes. Then I can arrest the team, shut down the lab and turn Horatio into a homeless cop. HA.
Megan: ...He doesn't live in the lab.
Stetler: Yeah that's what he says.
Megan: I'm not going to help you taint their water.
Stetler: You don't have to. OH! And I can sabotage them even more. I'll put hair loss shampoo into Calleigh Duquesne's shampoo.
Megan: ....You want to break into her house?
Stetler: ....Fine I won't. I'll switch Eric Delko's nutrition bars into highly fattening fatty bars.
Megan: Wouldn't he have to eat tonnes of that?
Stetler: *frowns* Fine. I'll put hair growing shampoo into Tim Speedle's soap. That way, when he washes his face, his stubble will grow back twice as dark and thick! *raises fists and cackles*
Megan: *smiles*
Stetler: What?
Megan: Can you do that please?
Stetler: ...I can't believe you have a thing for him.
Megan: I do not have a thing for him. But I can look.
Stetler: *rolls eyes*
Megan: Okay if you wanted to ruin their lives, what you have to do is very simple. Take away their main source of power.
Stetler: Which is...
Megan: Horatio Caine.
Stetler: We've gone over this.
Megan: No, you've gone over this with your little sketch book. It didn't work out so well in the sketch.
Stetler: So what do you propose we do?
Megan: We can turn all of them against Horatio Caine.
Stetler: Oooh I like the way you think.
Megan: Then Horatio will feel so excluded that he'll transfer.
Stetler: I like that.
Megan: His life will be ruined, and his team won't want him anymore. Unhappy Horatio equals unahppy lab. Which equals more mistakes because of it.
Stetler: NOW I know why I hired you.
Megan: You didn't hire me sweetheart.
Stetler: ...Oh.
Megan: *pats Stetler's head*
Stetler: Don't patronize me.

Restaurant, 8:00 pm
Calleigh: This is all really lovely.
Colton: I'm glad you like it.
Calleigh: Usually with places like these, you need a reservation. How did you get us in?
Colton: *smiles* I actually had this place reserved for about a week. I was trying to muster up enough courage to ask you out.
Calleigh: Aw, how sweet. And you know, I would have said yes.
Colton: I know but I wanted everything to be perfect. *holds Calleigh's hand*
Calleigh: *smiles*
Colton: I've missed you so much ever since I left.
Calleigh: Well, you were in prison.
Colton: What I did was so stupid. I regretted it every day I was behind bars. I never want to hurt another person, even if I don't like Tim.
Calleigh: Well you're in luck because he doesn't like you either.
Colton: *laughs* I figured.
Calleigh: Yeah.
Colton: The moment I saw your face, I knew I was back home.
Calleigh: I'm glad you're back too.
Colton: So what would you like this evening?
Calleigh: Oh I don't know.
Colton: You can pick anything.
Calleigh: ...You're sure you have enough money?
Colton: It doesn't matter. You can have anything your heart desires.
Calleigh: ....So what if I want to skip dinner?
Colton: *blank stare*
Calleigh: *winks*
Colton: I think that can be arranged.

Lori: *walks in* Thanks for buying me dinner.
Speed: *walks in* No problem.

Lori: Why is our furniture everywhere?
Speed: ...Why don't you go find your mother and I'll look around.
Lori: Okay. *runs upstairs*
Speed: *walks into kitchen*
Blood stains on the floor
Speed: ...Oh boy.
Lori: *runs downstairs* Dad! There's blood in the hallway. It leads down the stairs. What did you find?
Speed: ...
Lori: Oh man. Mom's not here.
Speed: No she's not.
Lori: What do you think happened?
Speed: I don't know.
Lori: ....Look at the wall.
Speed: *looks at wall* What does it say?
Lori: Contente você não girou sobre as luzes?
Speed: What does that mean?
Lori: The closest translation? ...'Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the lights'. It's Portuguese.
Speed: *sigh* Great.

Rafael: So what am I doing here again?
Calleigh: A staff member of the Miami Art Museum was murdered last week. Video evidence shows you ran in after her.
Rafael: Your evidence is wrong.
Colton: *places folder on table* Evidence is never wrong.
Rafael: *looks at folder*
Calleigh: How did you know her?
Rafael: I want my lawyer.
Calleigh: You'll get one. As soon as you answer the question.
Rafael: She was Pat's friend.
Colton: Friend, how close?
Rafael: They were sleeping together, is that close enough for you?
Calleigh: Do you know what their argument was about?
Rafael: Something about paychecks. I was there when Pat threw her into the wall.
Colton: Why did you run after her?
Rafael: She was upset so I was going to go talk to her. Now can I have my lawyer?
Calleigh: She was murdered and you were the last one to see her alive.
Rafael: I'm not saying anything without a lawyer.
Calleigh: *leaves*
Colton: Uh...We'll be back. *leaves*
Rafael: *rolls eyes*
Hallway
Colton: What's up?
Calleigh: We're at dead ends and he's the only one who knows what happened.
Colton: We'll get him if he did this.
Calleigh: *smiles* I know. I just needed a breather, I guess.
Colton: Let's get some evidence on him.
Calleigh: Okay.
Colton: *grabs Calleigh's hand*
Calleigh: *grinning*
Horatio: *walks over* Have you seen Anni and Jess?
Colton: *lets go of Calleigh* No.
Calleigh: Not recently. They might be in the layout room though.
Horatio: Thank you. *walks away*
Colton: *sigh*
Calleigh: *looks down at floor*
Colton: Uh, I was meaning to ask you something actually.
Calleigh: Really.
Colton: I was wondering if you know, after work you uh...Wanted to go uh....Well, for maybe some coffee or s-
Speed: *walks over*
Colton: *looks at Speed* Uh, I left something in ballistics. *runs off*
Speed: What was that about?
Calleigh: Huh?
Speed: Colton. He ran off.
Calleigh: I think he was asking me out.
Speed: *frowns* Why.
Calleigh: *smiles* He was just being nice, Tim.
Speed: Guys are never just being nice.
Calleigh: Well...Except you, right?
Speed: I hurt you.
Calleigh: I know.
Speed: ...
Calleigh: ...
Speed: *clears throat* Alright awkward.
Calleigh: I think I'll accept.
Speed: If he gives you a hard time, send him to me.
Calleigh: *laughs* That's very sweet but I can take care of myself.
Speed: *nods*
Calleigh: ...
Speed: ...
Calleigh: I really thought I loved you once.
Speed: *stares at Calleigh*
Calleigh: *walks away*
Speed: *looks around*
Layout room
Horatio: *walks in*
Anni: *wide-eyed*
Jess: *hides behind Anni*
Horatio: *frowning* Ladies...
Jess: SHE DID IT!
Anni: IT WAS HER! HER AND HER BIG BOOBS!
Jess: Have mercy.
Horatio: This is beyond unacceptable. You destroyed lab property. Who do you think gets the bill?
Anni: ...God?
Horatio: Me. It's bad enough you dragged a child into it.
Across room
Delko: *looks up from files*
Layout room
Horatio: Both of you go home.
Jess: ...Okay we'll just go right n-
Horatio: No. You are going back to Wyoming and Anni you are going back to wherever the hell we picked you up from.
Anni: *lifts brow* You're not serious right?
Horatio: *glaring*
Delko: *walks over* Hey H?
Horatio: Eric this is not a good time.
Delko: It was my fault.
Horatio: I appreciate what you're trying to do b-
Delko: No. I'm the one who instigated all of it. Carly didn't say anything because she didn't want to get me fired from the lab. Jess and Anni had nothing to do with it.
Horatio: You.
Delko: Yes sir.
Horatio: *looks at Anni and Jess*
Jess: ...
Anni: ...
Horatio: Eric they do not leave your sight. You understand?
Delko: I do.
Horatio: *walks away*
Jess: You didn't have to do that.
Delko: Just don't do it again.
Anni: Oh you have our word. Scouts honor.
Jess: So what's our punishment?
Delko: You don't get one. I'm not Horatio. I think what just happened is punishment enough. Now, get back to work.
Anni: Where?
Delko: You're supposed to be working with Calleigh and Colton. Jess, you're supposed to be cleaning the Trace lab.
Jess: Oh yeah.
Anni: Oh yeah.
Delko: Get to it.
Carly/Josh's house, 6 pm
Lori: *stabbing potatoes*
Carly: Eat your food.
Lori: It's gross.
Carly: It's food.
Lori: Can't we have something else?
Carly: No. You'll eat what I give you.
Lori: Fine.
Carly: That's not what I want to hear.
Lori: ...*mumbles* Yes ma'am.
Carly: Excuse me?
Lori: I said YES MA'AM. You want me to scream it from the roof too?
Carly: Eat the food.
Lori: *shakes head* I didn't know you were this bitchy.
Carly: You want to come say that to my face?
Lori: No.
Carly: Then get back to your dinner.
Lori: *rolls eyes*
Carly: Don't you roll your eyes at me.
Lori: *frowns*
Carly: You've been here three days and you haven't learned a thing.
Lori: What am I supposed to be learning?
Carly: Manners young lady.
Lori: *stabs potatoes*
Carly: *grabs plate from Lori, throws it into the sink*
Lori: *flinches*
Carly: If you won't eat it, you'll get to clean it out of the sink. Go do it.
Lori: ...
Carly: DO IT!
Lori: Yes ma'am. *walks over to sink*
Carly: *grabs wooden spoon* I don't want any more lip from you. You hear me?
Lori: Yes ma'am.
Josh: *walks in* Hey I'm home.
Carly: *smiles* Josh, how was your day?
Josh: It was alright. I have a conference in Orlando tomorrow so I'll be gone most of the week. How's Lori?
Lori: I-
Carly: She's fine.
Josh: Lori, did you have a good day at school today?
Lori: Yes sir.
Josh: *lifts brow* Good. You have any homework?
Lori: Yes sir.
Josh: ...Well you had better get to it.
Lori: Yes sir. *walks upstairs*
Carly: She's very polite.
Josh: Yeah she is. Why is she calling me 'sir'?
Carly: Because that's how she is to address us.
Josh: Why?
Carly: Well my father taught me to do that and I turned out alright.
Josh: He raised you in a boot camp?
Carly: *laughs* No. I just had more discipline than most kids. It made me a better person.
Josh: I'm sure it did.
Carly: Anyway, she's working on math tonight and she's struggling with it. Go help her.
Josh: Alright she can come down here with her stuff. There's more light.
Carly: Good. I'll cook desert.
10 minutes later
Lori: *erasing lines* This doesn't make any sense.
Josh: Well now, you'll get the hang of it. Just keep trying.
Lori: *angry sigh* I just don't see why that equasion has anything to do with that formula.
Josh: Well think of it this way. If you were to manipulate that formula and find that variable, you'd be able to find this variable with that formula.
Lori: *blank stare*
Josh: Right?
Lori: I-I guess. Yeah.
Carly: Lori...
Lori: ...Yes sir.
Josh: Okay so try that formula.
Lori: *writing things*
Josh: Okay, so what does that equal to?
Lori: A headache.
Josh: *laughs* No. Here, try this.
Lori: I am trying.
Josh: *writes things down* Okay well if you have this, and that, you can cancel these out and then you're left with that. Then manipulate the formula.
Lori: *writing things* Okay.
Carly: *clears throat*
Lori: *sigh* Yes sir.
Josh: Wait, you have to reverse those first.
Lori: Why?
Josh: Because in order to cancel it, you have to reverse the variables.
Lori: Why?
Josh: It's the rules.
Lori: Well I don't get why.
Josh: It's very simple Lori.
Lori: No it's not.
Carly: Lori.
Lori: *glares* No SIR it's not.
Josh: Just try it again.
Lori: I can't do this.
Josh: Yes you can.
Lori: NO I CAN'T! I DON'T GET IT! *throws books*
Josh: *sits up*
Lori: I'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND THIS!
Josh: Lori, calm down and pick up your books.
Lori: NO!
Josh: Lori you need to finish it.
Lori: *grabs books* I DON'T UNDERSTAND IT!
Josh: You will if you'll just sit down and w-
Lori: I CAN'T! *banging books on table* I CAN'T DO IT!
Carly: Lori, go to your room.
Lori: NO!
Carly: GO TO YOUR ROOM!
Lori: FINE! *throws books at Carly runs upstairs, slams door*
Carly: Boy is she going to get it now. *walks to stairs*
Josh: *runs over* Whoa, whoa, no. What are you doing?
Carly: She has to be punished.
Josh: She's a frustrated teenager. Just leave her alone.
Carly: Her actions have consequences.
Josh: Yeah I agree but maybe you should let her calm down so we can deal with her as adults.
Carly: Obviously talking to her calmly isn't helping.
Josh: No it's not, but yelling at her won't help either.
Carly: She needs discipline.
Josh: Again, I agree but...I think you're going about this the wrong way.
Carly: Didn't you ever get spanked as a child?
Josh: Yeah.
Carly: And did it teach you not to do whatever you did again?
Josh: Well yeah, but-
Carly: Then this is no different. She hasn't once stayed within her boundaries. Katie and Tim let her run wild.
Josh: I don't think they have. I think they treat her like an adult. She's allowed to make her own decisions, and her own mistakes.
Carly: Except she's still a child. And she spent half her life in a foreign country where anything goes. She needs to learn what's acceptable. *walks upstairs*
Josh: *frowns*
Lori's room
Carly: *walks in*
Lori: *looks up*
Carly: What are you doing?
Lori: I'm leaving.
Carly: No, you're staying right here.
Lori: You can't make me.
Carly: Yes I can.
Lori: Get lost. *pushes past Carly*
Carly: *grabs Lori's arm*
Lori: OW!
Carly: *squeezes* Get back in here.
Lori: AH!
Carly: Now.
Lori: *walks back over* Yes ma'am.
Carly: Get your math out, and start doing your homework.
Lori: Yes ma'am.
Carly: *lets go*
Lori: *rubs arm*
Carly: Now, will we have another problem?
Lori: No ma'am.
Carly: Good. *leaves*
Lori: *sits on bed*
Downstairs
Carly: She's fine now.
Josh: *nods*
Carly: I want you to go back up there in two hours and see if she's still doing her work.
Josh: Alright.
Carly: Good.
2 hours later
Lori's room
Josh: *walks in*
Lori: *working on math*
Josh: Hey.
Lori: *writing things down*
Josh: You almost done?
Lori: Yes sir.
Josh: *sits on bed* You need any help?
Lori: No sir.
Josh: You sure?
Lori: Yes sir.
Josh: Lori, you don't need to do that around me.
Lori: *drops pencil* I'm finished.
Josh: You are?
Lori: Yes sir.
Josh: Good job.
Lori: ...Thanks.
Josh: If you need anything, I'll be downstairs.
Lori: Alright.
Josh: *leaves*

When It Gets Cold
Carly's house, two days later
Carly: Alright Lori come help me cook this.
Lori: What is it?
Carly: It's a souffle.
Lori: Why are you making it?
Carly: I found this really neat cookbook.
Lori: What do you want me to do?
Carly: Stir this.
Lori: *grabs spoon*
Carly: Alright, I need two teaspoons of sugar. *grabs sugar*
Lori: *stirring*
Carly: So how was your math test?
Lori: I got an A.
Carly: *smiles* See? You can do it.
Lori: *smirks*
Carly: Look, I'm sorry I was a little rough on you before, but it's the only way for you to learn. I mean you spent half your childhood in a place where there was no rules.
Lori: I know.
Carly: So you understand the importance of this.
Lori: Yes ma'am.
Carly: Not to say that your parents don't do an excellent job raising you, but they're not always there.
Lori: *nods*
Carly: Josh and I, we love you very much. We only want the best for you.
Lori: I know.
Carly: Good.
Lori: *stirring*
Carly: So....What did you do in Columbia for fun?
Lori: Fun?
Carly: Yeah.
Lori: I never had fun.
Carly: Why not?
Lori: *looks down at bowl* I didn't have much free time.
Carly: You know, I think one of the reasons you have a problem with authority is because of where you came from.
Lori: Columbia.
Carly: Exactly.
Lori: I had to follow orders there and they were way worse than what you make me do.
Carly: Did you actually follow those orders?
Lori: Yes I did. All of them.
Carly: What did they make you do?
Lori: *puts bowl on table* That's none of your business.
Carly: ....I think you need some help. Professional help.
Lori: Why?
Carly: Well you've never really been able to tell anyone what happened. I'm sure you didn't tell your father everything.
Lori: You're right I didn't and he doesn't need to know.
Carly: Lori, what you've been doing....It's a cry for help. Back in Australia I've dealt with kids like you who have just come out of these traumatic situations.
Lori: So you think you understand me now.
Carly: No I don't. I'm just saying you need a way to heal.
Lori: I'll do that on my own.
Carly: *stirs ingredients*
Lori: ...
Carly: ....You must trust your father a great deal.
Lori: You know what this conversation is over.
Carly: I'm just trying to understand why you don't want help from anyone but him.
Lori: I've never asked for his help.
Knock on door is heard
Carly: That's probably him.
Lori: *looking down at table*
Carly: *opens door* Hey Tim.
Speed: Is she ready to go?
Carly: I think so.
Speed: *walks over* Come on, let's go. *touches Lori's shoulder*
Lori: *backs up* Don't touch me.
Speed: *lifts brow*
Lori: *walks upstairs*
Speed: What's her problem?
Carly: I don't know.
Speed: What did you say to her?
Carly: Nothing. Well...
Speed: Well what?
Carly: I asked her about Columbia. You know, maybe because that's the route cause of all of her agression.
Speed: You asked her about Columbia? Are you insane?
Carly: I needed to know what happened.
Speed: What did she tell you?
Carly: Nothing.
Lori: *walks downstairs* Let's go.
Speed: Are you okay?
Lori: *frowning*
Speed: Okay let's go then. *grabs Lori's arm*
Lori: *backs up* DON'T TOUCH ME!
Speed: *sigh* Lori, come on.
Lori: *runs outside*
Speed: *shakes head* Well this was a hell of an idea.

When It Comes To The Truth
Hummer
Lori: *looking out window*
Speed: Are you alright?
Lori: I'm fine.
Speed: So that's why you freaked out when I touched your arm.
Lori: Look, it's not about you. It's me.
Speed: *nods*
Lori: I'm just not feeling comfortable around anyone right now.
Speed: Is that why you broke up with Ash?
Lori: ...What?
Speed: You left your cell phone at home and it has 18 messages on it.
Lori: ...
Speed: This has been going on for longer than you're saying. Way before you were at Carly's house.
Lori: You don't get it do you? I'm never going to be able to deal with what happened. I can't sleep at night because of the nightmares, I can't concentrate at school because everything just seems so trivial compared to what I've seen, and I can't trust anyone because of it.
Speed: You can trust me.
Lori: ...You'll protect me right?
Speed: From what?
Lori: *looks back out window* I don't know.
Lab, next day
Colton: I went back to the Art Museum.
Calleigh: You find anything?
Colton: Feathers and the glue gun.
Calleigh: Where did you find it?
Colton: It was stashed under one of the stork eggs. Well, painted stork egg.
Calleigh: You test it for prints?
Colton: Yeah but the killer must have been wearing gloves because there was nothing on the glue gun.
Calleigh: Okay so what about the feathers?
Colton: Well they're synthetic and they're used mostly in the manufacturing of specialty clothes.
Calleigh: *smiles*
Colton: Why are you smiling?
Calleigh: Specialty clothes like lingerie?
Colton: I don't know, I've never been shopping for lingerie.
Calleigh: I think youv'e found the connection to our killer.
Colton: I have?
Calleigh: Yeah. But we don't have enough for a warrant. We have to prove that Rafael's store was the one that carried the feather-lined clothes.
Colton: ...Don't we have a bunch of clothes from the last case Speed and Anni investigated?
Calleigh: Yeah they're in the evidence locker.
Colton: Some of those had feathers.
Calleigh: Let's go check it out.
Layout room
Calleigh: *picks up feather* This was from one of those see-through robes.
Colton: Who shops at these places?
Calleigh: *laughs*
Colton: Okay so the feathers from this type of robe is a match to the feathers on our victim.
Calleigh: Yeah.
Colton: So he glued a bunch of feathers onto the victim with clothes from his store, after she was bleeding from the knock to the head.
Calleigh: The wound which she most likely got from the wall at Pat's house.
Colton: So she's running for her life, she runs into the Art Museum because it was unlocked, Rafael follows her, probably not to calm her down but to shut her up.
Calleigh: I'm guessing the argument about the money wasn't about the Art Museum. Probably cocaine.
Colton: So she dies in the dark room, and to throw us off of his trail, he makes it extra hard for us to catch him. He makes it seem like some kind of ritual killing and bolts.
Calleigh: ...Where's that list Tim had?
Colton: *goes through box* It's in here somewhere.
Calleigh: ...
Colton: Here it is. *passes over list*
Calleigh: *looks down at list, smiles*
Colton: What?
Calleigh: Judy Heatherington's name is on this list.
Colton: The victim.
Calleigh: Pat Aiken's name is also on the list.
Colton: Interesting.
Calleigh: I think we have them both for murder.
Colton: Who knew you could kill two birds with one stone.
Calleigh: *rolls eyes*
Colton: Yeah lame, I know.

With You By My Side
Lounge
Anni: This is SO boring.
Jess: Yeah well this is what we get for getting me stuck.
Anni: Yeah it was all your fault.
Jess: Was not.
JC: *walks in* Hey what are we talking about?
Anni: Jess got us in trouble by getting stuck in the fence.
Jess: It is not my fault property got damaged. IT WAS A RESCUE MISSION!
Anni: Horatio didn't see it that way.
JC: Well Horatio's in a bad mood.
Anni: Why? What happened?
JC: We got into a small argument.
Jess: Over what?
JC: It doesn't matter. He won't talk to me.
Anni: That's not like him.
JC: He's that mad.
Missy: *walks in* OH MY GOD!
Jess: What?
Missy: I like to make an entrance. *sits on couch*
JC: I just wish we could work things out. I mean over the past week he's just been so angry. I don't know what to do.
Missy: Give him chocolate. That always makes me feel better when I'm down.
JC: I don't think chocolate will help.
Anni: Give him a kick in the a-
Jess: What Anni means to say is confront him about it. Ask what's wrong, and how you can fix it.
JC: Yeah except he's not returning my calls and he's been avoiding me all day.
Missy: Throw chocolate at him.
JC: I'm not going to throw food at him.
Missy: No, not food. CHOCOLATE.
Anni: Usually Horatio's pretty reasonable.
Jess: Yeah but he was pretty mad with us too, so maybe he's just in a bad mood about something else.
Anni: IAB maybe.
Jess: Or Yelina.
Missy: Chocolate deficiency.
Everyone: *looks at Missy*
Missy: It happens.
Jess: Okay well maybe you should just wait it out. He's never held a grudge.
JC: I guess you're right.
Delko: *walks in* Aren't you guys supposed to be working?
Jess: We're taking a break.
Delko: *looks at watch* A three hour break?
Jess: It takes me a while to drink coffee.
Delko: Guys, Horatio's going to be even more mad if he finds out you're wasting time.
JC: *crying* HE WON'T STOP BEING MAD!
Halls
Calleigh: Great job on the case. *smiles*
Colton: Why thank you.
Calleigh: We make a great team.
Colton: We do.
Calleigh: I look forward to working together again. Feels like old times.
Colton: Minus Trevor.
Calleigh: *laughs* Yeah well that's a plus.
Colton: *laughs*
Calleigh: *looks down at floor*
Colton: Would you like to have dinner tonight?
Calleigh: *lifts head* ...With me?
Colton: Yeah. You know, at one of those fancy restaurants with the people who play the violins and the actual real fireplaces in the corner of the room.
Calleigh: *smiles* I would love that.
Colton: Great. I'll pick you up tonight at around 7:30?
Calleigh: Sounds terrific.
Colton: I'll see you then. *leaves*
Calleigh: You too.

We'll Make It Through
Outside Lab
Stetler: Alright here's the plan. *hands over notebook*
Megan: *looks down at papers* Aw you drew these? They're cute. Is that supposed to be you with the handcuffs?
Stetler: *frowns* No that's Horatio.
Megan: Oh. So is this you with the muscles?
Stetler: *grabs paper* You know what? Don't look at the plan. I'll tell you.
Megan: I'm listening.
Stetler: This is going to be better than the time I followed them and made a fake crime scene and then almost killed them. *cackles*
Megan: ....I heard you followed them on a pink tricycle and then they tasered you and then you were shot.
Stetler: They had the advantage that time, I have the advantage this time.
Megan: Ah. So what's your advantage?
Stetler: You.
Megan: Me.
Stetler: You're going to get all of their trust until their guard is down. Then when I say, set them up to make a mistake.
Megan: So....They have to actually make a mistake before we can do anything.
Stetler: Legally yes.
Megan: But that's what we normally do.
Stetler: Okay I knew you were going to say that so I have a contingency plan.
Megan: Contingency plan?
Stetler: Plan B.
Megan: I know what a contingency plan is. I wanted to know what your plan was.
Stetler: Well I drew another sketch. *hands over paper*
Megan: *turns pages* ...Who's this?
Stetler: Calleigh Duquesne.
Megan: And this?
Stetler: Eric Delko.
Megan: And this?
Stetler: Tim Speedle.
Megan: ...Who's that?
Stetler: That's me carrying the handcuffs.
Megan: Yeah but what's in your other hand?
Stetler: That is tainted water.
Megan: You're going to poison their water?
Stetler: Yep.
Megan: I can have YOU arrested for that.
Stetler: They'll just feel a little loopy for a while. Almost like they're drunk. It's easier for them to make a mistake that way.
Megan: You can't poison people.
Stetler: It's not poison. It won't hurt them and it'll only last for 24 hours.
Megan: What happens if someone has adverse effects?
Stetler: I've tried it on you.
Megan: WHAT!
Stetler: You sure get giggly.
Megan: *sigh* Rick.
Stetler: When I slip this into their water, they will definitely make mistakes. Then I can arrest the team, shut down the lab and turn Horatio into a homeless cop. HA.
Megan: ...He doesn't live in the lab.
Stetler: Yeah that's what he says.
Megan: I'm not going to help you taint their water.
Stetler: You don't have to. OH! And I can sabotage them even more. I'll put hair loss shampoo into Calleigh Duquesne's shampoo.
Megan: ....You want to break into her house?
Stetler: ....Fine I won't. I'll switch Eric Delko's nutrition bars into highly fattening fatty bars.
Megan: Wouldn't he have to eat tonnes of that?
Stetler: *frowns* Fine. I'll put hair growing shampoo into Tim Speedle's soap. That way, when he washes his face, his stubble will grow back twice as dark and thick! *raises fists and cackles*
Megan: *smiles*
Stetler: What?
Megan: Can you do that please?
Stetler: ...I can't believe you have a thing for him.
Megan: I do not have a thing for him. But I can look.
Stetler: *rolls eyes*
Megan: Okay if you wanted to ruin their lives, what you have to do is very simple. Take away their main source of power.
Stetler: Which is...
Megan: Horatio Caine.
Stetler: We've gone over this.
Megan: No, you've gone over this with your little sketch book. It didn't work out so well in the sketch.
Stetler: So what do you propose we do?
Megan: We can turn all of them against Horatio Caine.
Stetler: Oooh I like the way you think.
Megan: Then Horatio will feel so excluded that he'll transfer.
Stetler: I like that.
Megan: His life will be ruined, and his team won't want him anymore. Unhappy Horatio equals unahppy lab. Which equals more mistakes because of it.
Stetler: NOW I know why I hired you.
Megan: You didn't hire me sweetheart.
Stetler: ...Oh.
Megan: *pats Stetler's head*
Stetler: Don't patronize me.

Restaurant, 8:00 pm
Calleigh: This is all really lovely.
Colton: I'm glad you like it.
Calleigh: Usually with places like these, you need a reservation. How did you get us in?
Colton: *smiles* I actually had this place reserved for about a week. I was trying to muster up enough courage to ask you out.
Calleigh: Aw, how sweet. And you know, I would have said yes.
Colton: I know but I wanted everything to be perfect. *holds Calleigh's hand*
Calleigh: *smiles*
Colton: I've missed you so much ever since I left.
Calleigh: Well, you were in prison.
Colton: What I did was so stupid. I regretted it every day I was behind bars. I never want to hurt another person, even if I don't like Tim.
Calleigh: Well you're in luck because he doesn't like you either.
Colton: *laughs* I figured.
Calleigh: Yeah.
Colton: The moment I saw your face, I knew I was back home.
Calleigh: I'm glad you're back too.
Colton: So what would you like this evening?
Calleigh: Oh I don't know.
Colton: You can pick anything.
Calleigh: ...You're sure you have enough money?
Colton: It doesn't matter. You can have anything your heart desires.
Calleigh: ....So what if I want to skip dinner?
Colton: *blank stare*
Calleigh: *winks*
Colton: I think that can be arranged.
Katie's house, 9:00 pm
Lori: *walks in* Thanks for buying me dinner.
Speed: *walks in* No problem.

Speed: *looks around*
Lori: Why is our furniture everywhere?
Speed: ...Why don't you go find your mother and I'll look around.
Lori: Okay. *runs upstairs*
Speed: *walks into kitchen*
Blood stains on the floor
Speed: ...Oh boy.
Lori: *runs downstairs* Dad! There's blood in the hallway. It leads down the stairs. What did you find?
Speed: ...
Lori: Oh man. Mom's not here.
Speed: No she's not.
Lori: What do you think happened?
Speed: I don't know.
Lori: ....Look at the wall.
Speed: *looks at wall* What does it say?
Lori: Contente você não girou sobre as luzes?
Speed: What does that mean?
Lori: The closest translation? ...'Aren't you glad you didn't turn on the lights'. It's Portuguese.
Speed: *sigh* Great.
