Complete story — includes the ending
Lena Brody ( Monique Fowler ), wife of Lance Brody ( Thomas G. Waites ) is found dead in the bathroom of her home, brutally stabbed to death. Although Lance has a history of violence, the detectives believe it is a suicide. The subsequent investigation implicates Lance in a series of murders of young Jewish men and indicates that Lance harbours resentment against Jews because his mother had an affair with a Jewish man. Goren and Bishop believe Lena knew of Lance's hatred for Jews and when she discovered she had Jewish heritage, she feared for her daughter Clair's ( Maria Thayer ) safety if Lance found out. Lena took her own life, hoping to expose her husband's crimes so he would go to prison thus protecting her daughter.
