Night has fallen on the City of Brotherly Love, and Kimble, blessed with the luck of The Fugitive, finds an open garage from which he snatches coveralls and a dark shirt. At Chez Kimble, Unc Kimble locks the front door Maggie had left unlocked and, in a very un-Motel 6 frame of mind, turns out the light. Lt. Bubba monitors all these goings-on from his car. His cell phone rings; it's the annoying Faith at Forty reporter. She gets out of her car, displaying hipster thigh-high boots, and waves at him so he knows that she knows they are both on the stakeout, and to remind us why women in their twilight years shouldn't wear leather. She offers to help him catch Kimble so she can get the story. Lt. Bubba tells her it's not much of a story. "Don't you think the loss of your first wife and your obsession with this case would make a really great story?" Faith at Forty asks, her voice dripping with the venom from her tattoos. Lt. Bubba tells her the conversation is over. "For now," she quips as he hangs up.
Time must have passed, because Lt. Bubba looks like he might have just awakened from a cat nap in time to see a garbage truck pull up in front of the Kimble house. He watches the truck carefully. A garbage man and Kimble dressed as a garbage man get out. The truck blocks Lt. Bubba's view, so he doesn't see Kimble's incredibly ballsy and incredibly stupid move as he jogs up the steps to the house. What I don't get is why the other garbage man isn't like, "Dude, what the hell?" It's not like he didn't notice Kimble helping him at the last two houses, and now suddenly he runs off? Kimble stands on the well-lit porch and puts up quite a loud struggle with the door. He finally finds the key under one of two flower pots and lets himself in the house. Faith at Forty wakes up in time to see the front door close. Maggie is sitting at the kitchen table rubbing her head and Kimble says, "Hey." She jumps up and grabs him in a hug, then starts laughing like a hyena. She tells Kimble that Gerard is outside, and that their Unc will call the cops if he finds Richard there. Kimble asks to see his father.
