In the fifth season finale, Pete (Tim Daly) was sent to jail after mercifully killing one of his patients and later freed on bail. Season six picks up with his trial -- with the good doc seemingly on the lam as his attorney reveals that Pete never showed up at her office and isn't responding to calls to his cell or his home with Violet.

"I know he's coming," Violet pleads to the harsh judge, who isn't having any of it and issues a warrant for Pete's arrest.

With Daly, who had played the character for all five seasons of the series not returning for season six, where do you think Pete is?
