Complete story — includes the ending
Detectives Goren and Eames investigate a case involving the shooting death of drug addict Richard "Rick" Siebert (Elan Moss-Bachrach) and the wounding of Stacy Hayes-Fitzgerald ( Betty Gilpin ), the step-daughter of Councilman Neil Hayes-Fitzgerald ( Scott Cohen ) a powerful local politician, who "played dead" after the shooting. Eventually it is discovered that Siebert had been blackmailing the Councilman who had been molesting Stacy for years. Stacy speaks up when she realizes that her step-father is grooming the family babysitter Jessica (Jessica Coles) as a potential next victim and is also eyeing Stacy's young "sister" Sophie who is actually her own daughter by him. When Goren and Eames confront the Councilman, it is revealed that although he has been guilty of incest, it was his ambitious and wealthy mother Camille ( Kathy Baker ) who orchestrated the murder in a effort to cover up her son's continuing misdeeds.
