The story so far
Everything you need before watchingJackie is still pressing Mike in the car: why did he quietly become an old client's guardian last week? Mike tries to shrink it. The man lives at a nursing home, he only checks in, and the estate pays. Then they pull up to the empty house and a teenage stranger is waiting at the door. The boy is looking for Mr. Poplar. He says he is Leo's grandson, and he rode a bus from Ohio, alone, to live with him.
