13. Daddy Issues

Complete story — includes the ending

Megan's father's exhumation is granted and she is shocked to find the coffin empty. Megan later finds a key that unlocks a secret compartment in her father's old study which holds a missing medical file for a young woman named Lindsay Pratt who was murdered the day before her father died by a serial killer named Earl Brown ( Kurtwood Smith ). Brown, however, denies killing Lindsay Pratt. Since he is already serving life for killing many others, he has no reason to lie. Megan and Tommy visit the retired detective who investigated the Earl Brown murders, Glenn Fitz ( Jonathan Banks ). He's positive Brown killed Lindsay, but Megan isn't so sure because Lindsay was killed in a different way. After Fitz is shot and Megan discovers that the recent dead body Kate is reconstructing was Fitz's former partner, Megan rushes to tell Tommy the news but instead finds Chief Martin. On a drive to the medical examiner's office, Chief Martin pulls out a gun revealing that she was the one who killed Lindsay Pratt (in a jealous rage). She also killed Megan's father and all the others to cover up any loose ends, and says that Megan is the only loose end left. Just as Chief Martin is about to shoot Megan, Trent Marsh steps in and shoots Chief Martin, saving Megan's life. In the end, Megan lets Tommy know that she's held the past against him for far too long, and they finally are together.
