Plot[]
When Mal suddenly leaves town and lends Jake out to be shadowed by a pompous crime novelist looking for inspiration, Jake’s entire life, including his constant relationship woes, is put under the authorial microscope; a simple cheating spouse domestic case turns out to be something far more devious than it first appears; and Jake, expecting the return of his father, gets an unwelcome surprise when it’s not Mal standing in the kitchen to greet him but his troubled older brother, Christian.

Quotes[]
- Jake: What's with all the crap books? (picking up a book and laughing) Garrison Steele? This guy is like, the biggest hack on earth, you know?
Rose: Jake! Meet Garrison Steele. Garrison, meet...
Garrison: Jake Doyle, P.I. - Jake: You look beautiful, by the way. This hairstyle really suits you.
Leslie: Doyle, you're at the site of a homicide, stop hitting on me.
Jake: I wasn't hitting on you, it was a compliment! It's very different. (raising his voice as she walks away) For the last time, I don't date cops, Sergeant, so back off! - Rose: Oh, come on! Steele has a certain charm.
Jake: Charm? Old houses have a certain charm; old pubs that smell like urine, they have a certain charm.
Rose: Jake, please! - Garrison: Double or nothing. I bet you 15,000 that I can get Ebner's wife to talk to me... tonight.
Des: Do it, Jake.
Jake: All right, but not for money. If I win, you leave town tonight. No more of this armchair psychoanalysis, no more crap coming out of your mouth; you're gone.
Garrison: Deal. But if I win, no more complaining about me shadowing you.
Jake: Fine. (the door bell rings) That's Ebner's wife, isn't it? - Daryl Ebner: Gentlemen, please show Mr. Doyle and his friend the way out of the building.
Jake: Oh, no, I was in boy scouts, so I can totally find my own way out. - Garrison: Oh, I called my agent, gave her the pitch for my new book today.
Jake: Good for you.
Garrison: A P.I. book, obviously.
Jake: Obviously.
Garrison: It's a departure from my usual material, but I think this one goes deeper into the heart of my subject.
Jake: Really?
Garrison: He's a special guy, the hero.
Jake: (touched) That right?
Garrison: I mean... special. He's mentally challenged.
