Off to "practice field" of the unnamed pro football team, where a couple of players get suggestive with Olivia as she walks across the field with Elliot. They catch up with Lincoln to ask him about Jeremy Haines, who Lincoln says was his business manager. "We know he handled more than your business," says Elliot, and they show him the cemetery camera photos, and Lincoln says, "I can't talk to you here."
Back at the station, Lincoln says he and Jeremy were going to go public, but it's not like they could just announce their engagement. Because you knew you'd get booted out of football, says Olivia. Lincoln says he wanted one more shot at a championship. The night of the murder, Lincoln went out for dinner with Jeremy, Natasha and his agent. Elliot thinks it's "ballsy" that he went on a date with his boyfriend and girlfriend. Lincoln glares at him, and says Jeremy was tired of the games. Afterwards, Lincoln says, he went with Natasha to some "hot new club" which is so hot that Lincoln can't remember its name. "I drank to much," he says, but he knows he went home with Natasha.
Natasha crabs that "Linc" is a hit-and-run kind of guy who never stays the night. And who never, um, plows the field, apparently, as he always has some sort of excuse, like team curfew or saving his strength. When Natasha says, "If he wants to screw around with boys," Olivia unfortunately takes her literally and says, "Oh, so you knew about him and Jeremy." As realization dawns on Natasha, she says it explains everything. Then she says "fag," calls her friend Sineade and says "homo," and "ass bandit," worries about AIDS, and in general displays the sexual maturity of a seventh grader in 1986. She also grabs her breasts and says, "There's nothing wrong with these girls! Just girls!" Emmy clip! As Olivia and Elliot leave, Natasha suggests they have a chat with Gary Leslie, Lincoln's agent, since her ex-boyfriend is gonna need a new job.
