Moms & Dads

S2 E26: For anyone who believes drug use is a victimless crime these two cases should change they're minds.  Both offer vivid evidence of the damage and destruction addiction brings both to individuals and entire families. Dog starts the day tracking Mae, a 43 year-old grandmother who traded a solid home, loving kids and an adoring husband for an ice pipe and a shack in the shadow of a crack house.  Her ex-husband is revoking her bond out of fear that Mae's drug habit will kill her. On the way to the crack den Mae's daughter calls to tell them her mom has suddenly appeared at the family's house. Dog decides to bust her there. What follows the arrest is a revelation for Dog, as the family showers Mae with love and support. As they head to jail Dog councils Mae that with a family that has so much love for her she definitely will be able to beat her addiction. The next case involves Jude, a father whose drug addiction has lead his pregnant wife to fear for her safety. However she is having a hard time bringing herself to revoke his bond. After reading a letter Cheryl wrote to Dog detailing the threats he has made to her, Dog brings the couple into his office for a showdown. After Dog catches the husband lying about his use of ice, it is clear that Jude is violating the terms of his bail and must be returned to jail. As Dog takes Jude in, Beth comforts his wife by telling her to think of this not as the end but as a new beginning.
