   Summary

   Set towards the end of season one, pre Kacy reunion.

   Lucy and Kate never made up, and Kate ends up getting hurt on assignment with the FBI. When she is in need of someone to help her out until she gets back on her feet, Lucy volunteers much to Kate's surprise. While the newly credited FBI agent sees it as an opportunity to finally start working towards a reconciliation with the woman she loves, Lucy is determined to hold onto the anger she has been harboring for weeks.
