Quotes 

• Kim Burgess : This case, the kids, the prostitution... it's starting to remind me of the case where we lost the baby. Do you ever wonder if maybe that's the reason we're even closer now? Like, why we want to be together all the time, why we act like a couple... because of this terrible thing that happened to us?

  Adam Ruzek : Of course it is.

  Kim Burgess : What? That's not a good thing, Adam.

  Adam Ruzek : Why not?

  Kim Burgess : Because it's not real. It's not closeness, it's just trauma.

  Adam Ruzek : It's not real? Kim, hold on. You and I, we've always been us, all right? Then we were gonna have a baby. So we fell in love with something together, then we lost something together. I mean, sometimes trauma just brings people closer.

• Kim Burgess : Kathy gave up her parental rights.

  Adam Ruzek : No. Why?

  Kim Burgess : Because she loves Makayla and wants what's best for her.

  Adam Ruzek : But where's Makayla gonna go?

  Kim Burgess : With me.

• Adam Ruzek : I hate this rug so much. This is a stupid rug. My rug would've fit in here much better.

  Kim Burgess : You are never gonna put your ugly rug in my apartment.

• Alanah Mercer : Kathy is dealing with mental issues. Anxiety, depression. If we keep Makayla in her care, there's a thousand possible bad outcomes. Kathy is telling us it's not best for either of them, so we find an alternate placement.

  Kim Burgess : A group home?

  Alanah Mercer : For right now, yes.

  Kim Burgess : What if Makayla came home with me?

  Alanah Mercer : I know you feel for her, but there are so many ways to be there for a child without fostering them. She's a child who's just experienced trauma, she's a black child, you're a cop with a very demanding job who's white, who's single. None of this is to be discouraging. That's all fine, but these are very real issues you need to think about. Makayla deserves someone... committed. It's just... you can't make a decision like this in a moment when life seems unfair.
