Love is in the Air
Season 1 | Episode 14 | Aired 02/13/05
Susan and Mike have reservations at an upscale restaurant for Valentine's Day. But a warning bell goes off when he lets it slip that he wants to have kids of his own someday. Meanwhile, while continuing his investigation, Mike breaks into a house and gets shot in the side. Since he doesn't want to tell Susan what's happened, he goes through with their dinner date. Just as she's starting to ask whether he wants children, he realizes he's bleeding badly and excuses himself. She thinks he's breaking up with her, but then he collapses, revealing his bloodstained shirt. At the hospital, he tells her he accidentally shot himself while cleaning his gun and was too embarrassed to tell her. And then he tells her that he'd rather have her than be a dad. Susan doesn't know what to think when two policemen arrive just as she's leaving.
