He can't find the home he remembers. He doesn't recognize Brinkley, the man who claims to be his agent.

None of it makes sense to Arthur Curtis. It is like a bad dream for him. Nothing can dissuade him from believing that he is Arthur Curtis. He returns to the studio only to find that the set is being taken apart. He sits back down in the office he knows. His wife Marion enters. He's so happy to see her. He leaves the office with Marion.

Ballard 1.03

BYOB

Ballard continues to work the Pearlman case but is forced to spend most of her time on another cold case. The victim was a fraternity pledge who died falling off a second floor balcony in 2006. There was an inconsistency in the injuries which seem to indicate to Ballard that Nick, the cold case victim, might have been involved in an altercation before falling off the balcony. The trail leads them first to some of the other pledges from that year and then to a couple women that Nick slept with.

Samira gets angry with Ballard over how she's handling the disappearance of a piece of evidence. Parker turns to her grandfather, who was also a police officer for advice. Ballard eventually admits she was wrong and that there are signs of a cover up.
