This episode is all about secrets. Lewis and Kellerman put down the case of a drug-related murder, and the culprit, hoping to get some kind of deal, tells them about the location of a body. Howard and Munch get the case, which turns out to be a an old unsolved murder leading back to Joseph Cardero (Creator/KevinConway), a drug dealer and self-styled poet. Munch decides to ask Dr. Dyer out, but ends up cheating on her with her roommate. Bayliss lets it slip that Mary's pregnant, which pisses Pembleton off, even though Russert, Howard, Lewis, Kellerman, and Giardello are all happy for him.
!!This episode contains examples of:
* AllMenArePerverts: Munch, who shows up for a date with Dr. Dyer, only to find her roommate there as well, telling him Dyer will be late and asking him for his help moving a mattress. The next time we see them, Munch is in bed with Dyer's roommate and having a MyGodWhatHaveIDone moment.
* IHaveThisFriend: Played with - Bayliss is actually talking about Pembleton, not himself, when talking to Russert about someone he knows whose wife is pregnant but who is unenthusiastic about it, but Russert sees right through Bayliss and realizes he's talking about Pembleton.
* ImAManICantHelpIt: This is how Munch tries to justify himself to Howard after he confesses his one-night stand. She doesn't buy it.
