Mickey checks the obituary section every single morning. She is just looking for her sister's name. It shows how grief starts long before someone is actually gone.

“I am a person who can see a body on the sidewalk and keep walking.”

“The uniform is a wall.”

Being a cop in your own neighborhood is lonely. Mickey wants to save her sister but her badge keeps them apart. Law and love don't always mix well.
