Based on the little info we've gotten so far, do you think they're going to make it?

Personally, I don't think so. Everything we've ever seen about Lee in the past seasons indicates that he's an extremely solitary person, devoted to work without too much personal going on. He seems uncomfortable with emotion, and the pregnancy was something that blindsided him. (In fact, he seemed reluctant to deal with it at all until it was absolutely necessary, having become the proverbial elephant in the room.)

My take on the subject is that Lee is basically a good guy. Despite his shortcomings, he really wants to do the "right thing" (whatever that may in fact be), especially since it's been indicated that his own dad wasn't too great. Yet, as indicated in the short restaurant scene two weeks ago, Lee's and Lynn's views on parenthood are vastly different -- Lynn seems to have embraced the baby wholeheartedly, making it her entire life, while Lee is...not so much.

I'm curious as to what you all think.

When did they mention the murdered sister and girlfriend?

1x:03 "A Couple of Choices" - The episode that introduces Scanlon as a detective obsessed with finding the murderer who kiled his sister, her unborn child, and her husband. He pretty much insults Allison when he finds out that she's a Medium, thinking her a fraud and his friend, Manuel, crazy as well, but comes around when Allison leads him to the murderer's house and later to the murderer himself, who had a tendacy of killing newlyweds after their first year of marriage (if memory serves).

2x:19 "Knowing Her" - Piror to the events in the series, Scanlon was working undercover to bring down a extremely wealthy family involved in a drug ring, and he fell in love with the daughter, Elena Cabrera. He planned on marrying her, but when he found out that she was daughter of the drug-dealing family he was trying to bring down (The Cabreras), he was taken off the case by his superiors (as he was no longer an unbiased witness) and thrown into rehab to get over his drug habbit.

Later on, when Allison starts having dreams about these past events, his partner, Larry Greene, who also worked undercover with him on said assignment, kills Elena (shot her several times in the chest) when Scanlon was in the process of reading her her rights, after she broke into his apartment and tried to explain that the dead two drug mules, and one female police officer, the police were working on discovering the identies to, had been killed by Lee's former partner. The episode also is the starting point of his and Lynn's relationship (Lynn seems to be somewhat annoyed by Lee calling her "Deputy Doll", but at the end of the episode, implies that he wasn't much of a mind reader, when he figured that she didn't appreciate his nickname for her).
