Arc Advancement

Happenings

• Maitland approaches Kurtz with a knife, claiming she's seen someone lurking outside the building, staring up at her window. Maitland is later found having killed a man in the parking garage with a knife she claims tried to attack her and might have been the same one who assaulted her before. The incident happened in the security camera's blind spot. She claims there was another man who fled. She learns Kurtz and the detectives have seen her psychiatric record and expresses concern that it's prejudicing the investigation.

• Suki comes to Kosmo that Brandy and Carmen are willing to file a report about Curtis. Suki believes offering sex with one of them for drugs can be considered dealing, but Kosmo wants to wait it out.

• Curtis pressures Pierce to back off his support of Dominic's red light district.

Characters

• Leo begins talking to Mick about what's going through his mind. Mick admits to having violent thoughts, but doesn't want to see a shrink for fear what he might bring up things he won't be able to deal with.
