Complete story — includes the ending

Antique appraiser, Rebekah Todman ( Pamela Gray ), is murdered after assessing a collection of colonial silverware of questionable provenance owned by Victor Burke (Bruce Norris) which is subsequently stolen. The theft leads the Major Case Squad to a master thief, Wesley John Kenderson ( David Harbour ), who specializes in stealing antique silver from rich families across the country. He does it because of his resentment against their wealthy and for the challenge it provides rather than for financial gain. In a effort to provide evidence against Kenderson, Goren and Eames pressure his pregnant wife, Sheila Bradley ( Callie Thorne ) for information about Wesley and discover that she killed Todman because she believed the appraiser would ruin the idyllic family life she planned with Wesley. Episode inspired by Blane Nordahl.
