Supposedly, in the 6th season, there is a murder of a young boy and the main suspect is the dad, who beat his son. Ryan asks to be taken off the case, but later Calleigh confront him and asks him why he's staying so far away from the crime and Ryan, then, tells her that he was abused by his father when he was young. I think it might be sort of believeable because do you guys remeber the look on Ryan's face when he and Calleigh were looking at the boy who was shot in the front of his house in the epi "Man Down"? I think it would make for an incredible stroyline!
