I have looked and I cannot figure out how Lacey went from Season 4 NOT being pregnant to Season 5 BEING pregnant??!! Which episode did she announce it in?? I can't imagine they would just OUT OF THE BLUE announce something like (the first time heard about it was in a dirty hallway on their way to find out about a victim and Mary Beth just happen to say " I'm only pregnant I can walk") that without a big announcement!! Not to mention I didn't see her announce it to Harvey or Chris!!! What happened??!! Thanx for the help!!!

I am trying to figure this out as well. You must be watching on THIS-TV in the Boston area on Sunday nights like I am. It seems as though they're running the shows in order, and I DVR all three episodes each week. But I missed the pregnancy announcement as well! I seem to remember (from way back when) that Cagney was the "last to know" and was a bit peeved about it. But this time, the first time I saw she was pregnant was where Coleman is making up his "pool" or odd sheet.

Hopefully, somebody will give us the answer!

Season 5 premiere is where we first saw Mary Beth pregnant (the one with Coleman's pool). There was no big announcement - she was already showing quite a bit by then. You have to assume that the announcement came in between seasons.

Well, I just finished re-watching season 4 and I detected that Tyne was pregnant in the last few episodes. They had her wearing large coats with huge lapels, one looked like a camel hair coat, that she rarely took off and a larger black pocketbook. I first noticed in the 2 part episode from season 4. I think they couldn't say anything because of the breast cancer storyline and the surgeon did the lumpectomy and chemo treatments for (if I remember correctly) 5 days a week for 5 weeks. So, they couldn't make her pregnant when she would be going through chemo, when Tyne was in her first trimester IRL.
