He lives with his grandma until the middle of Season 3, as he has not been able or motivated to find his own place . Until the middle of Season 2, he did not have a steady girlfriend, and Mike has frequently alluded to Carl employing prostitutes or having one - night stands with strippers . He is quick - witted with a dry sense of humor, and offers droll remarks on various situations . Carl and Samuel become roommates in Season 3 . After a rather depressing break up with his girlfriend Christina (she leaves him for her ex-husband), he goes through a string of random women until towards the end of season 4, when he begins relationship with Molly's sister Victoria . In an episode before the Season 5 finale, this relationship sours when Carl announces to Mike that he plans to propose to Victoria, only to change his mind . Carl then gets angry with Victoria when she is relieved that he didn't propose, and that leads to a spiral in the Season 5 finale where he has broken up with her . He ends up having a huge fight with Mike when he feels like his best friend is siding with Molly's family over him, and this ultimately leads him to request a transfer so he won't have to work with Mike anymore . Eventually they work out their differences, as both of them hate their new partners and Carl defends Mike when the other cops (including several hard - core macho officers whom they both dislike) make fun of him . In the final episode, it's revealed that he and Victoria were secretly fooling around once again, but in a conversation with Peggy he admits that all of the old feelings were resurfacing, hinting that there's a possibility that they might become a couple again . </P>
