One of the more melodramatic subplots this season was that California Highway Patrol cop Paul Woodrugh was a deeply closeted homosexual, to the extent that he had a gorgeous (and eventually pregnant) girlfriend, Emily, had to act as a beard and was shown popping Viagra to get his way through a blowjob from her. Later, when talking to Dixon, he threw in a line about almost beating up a "fag" who hit on him at the bank, as though to cast away any suspicion of his own secret (not that anybody suspected). Paul is also shown recovering from a drunken night of sex with his former lover Miguel, which he seems to brush off as a mistake, while Miguel clearly seems to still be into him.
