When he had to deal with homophobes and hate he had a temper.
6 November 2017
An old couple were talking about their daughter who was willing to go back with them after losing her job. Suddenly, they bumped into a dead body in the courtyard; he was kicked and beaten to death with severe rage. A stroller was found upside-down on the crime scene, so a kidnapping had taken place. The victim was the lover of a gay man who has just adopted an eighteen months old toddler. Detectives, after a goose chase involving a dumb delivery guy (Santo Fazio) who made a ransom call, try to figure out who the biological parents are. The mother, a former heroin addicted, is caught just in time before getting out of New York City with a bus. Anyway, she has not enough strength to stage a fist fight: the biological father has to be the perp. At the trial, the point is how much anger bear the father against gay people.

The real criminal in this episode is the biological mother: she was a junkie, she's estranged from her supportive mother and she hides her pregnancy from her former fiancèe. I hope the foster parent left won't allow her to see her child by any means in the future.
