Explicații IMDb: The victim: Dawn Richards, a member of the Frenemies in the women's professional roller derby league. The killer: psychiatrist Dr. Henry Price. This case starts off unusually when Dr. Price comes into the police station to report to Oscar that he believes one of his patients, Peter Carver, is displaying homicidal tendencies, the description provided by Price about what Carver would do matching Dawn's case. A connection is made between Carver and Dawn, he who was one of her biggest fans. Dawn is found dead by her roommate and teammate Stacey Edmonds in her bedroom one morning with Dawn having multiple stab wounds by scissors to the neck. After she and Angie interview Stacey, Paula, without disclosing the full reason, has reason to believe Stacey is the murderer. When Oscar points the detectives in Carver's direction, Betty discovers a string of pearls in Dawn's throat. It is then that Paula provides full disclosure of why she had believed Stacey to be the killer: the murder mimics down to the string of pearls a case on which she worked three years ago of murdered Brita Morris, where her testimony put away Brita's roommate, Miranda Hurst, whose story is that she was forced to watch the real unknown male murderer kill Brita. Miranda, who to this day professes her innocence, is still in prison for Brita's murder. When all evidence points to Carver being Dawn's murderer, Paula does whatever she can to tie Carver to Miranda as she was and is certain that Miranda still did kill Brita, with Carver now looking in her mind to be an accomplice. When questioned, Carver obviously does display issues of mental disturbance of the nature described by Dr. Price. But when Brian discovers some evidence that points away from Carver, the detectives look to Dr. Price, the person who first pointed them in Carver's direction.
Explicații TMDb: A murder with a familiar signature could mean a woman was wrongly convicted of a crime.
Explicații Wikipedia: A gruesome murder resembling a case that Paula previously investigated brings into question the guilt of the convicted killer. When Angie and Paula can't agree on a suspect, Oscar must mediate without playing favourites.
