This episode plants a lot of seeds - so much so that it's impossible to guess which things will be significant and which things won't. On this topic, it's difficult to ignore the strange dynamic between Sister Night and Judd.

Their characters are very close, with the chief letting Night get away with blatant disregard for protocol (kidnapping and beating a suspect), sipping from his coffee cup, and generally being his favorite. None of the other cops seem to get these privileges.

The chief also gives her a full embrace during his whimsical performance at dinner, saving his last and longest touch for her. Her husband gently pats his back to help him figure out it's time to get off his wife. It also strikes an odd chord that there is a passionate love scene between Sister Night and her husband right after their guests leave.
