Complete story — includes the ending

Rachel, a young girl from the Midwest who moved to NYC, is found dead in the street dressed like a prostitute after visiting a community medical center to receive treatment after an assault. Nurse's aid at the center, Maya Sills ( Caroline Dhavernas ), took Rachel home and then takes another girl, Isabel Felix ( Natalie Kuhn ) who also is found dead, dressed in a similar way. Maya is shown to have a borderline personality disorder, and engages in sexual fantasies with her fireman boyfriend Damon Kerrigan ( Dash Mihok ), committing the assaults and murders. Nichols and Stevens enlist Maya's traumatized former friend, Janine Lutz ( Cheryl Lynn Bowers ) to catch Kerrigan, but they have no evidence to link Maya to the murders. It is only during an interview that Maya admits that she saw the victims as prey in the same way as when as a child, she used to go hunting deer with her father.
