Character History
Hiros
When Matt goes missing, Janice calls the station and asks that Detective McHenry call her back.
Nothing to Hide
At the precinct, Detective McHenry attempts to comfort Matt when he seems upset, and congratulates him for his success working with the FBI. Tom tells Matt that Audrey has arranged for Matt to take the detective exam as a series of oral interviews rather than as a written test, in order to accommodate Matt's dyslexia. Matt then hears Tom's thoughts, with Tom truly considering Matt "a loser" and laughs that he is "nailing" his "fine" wife. Unable to stop himself, Matt punches Tom in the face before being restrained by the other officers present, their friendship over.
As a result of punching a, technically, superior officer, Matt was suspended from the force without pay for a month.
