Complete story — includes the ending
Reese and Finch's next number is that of Vanessa Watkins ( Kathleen Rose Perkins ), a prominent New York prosecutor who is accused of killing her defense attorney husband, Jeremy. The police find a gun with her DNA on it and arrest her. Vanessa escapes police custody. Finch investigates Jeremy's murder and learns that he owed money to a gangster. Reese, Finch and Carter question Watkins to decide if she is guilty or innocent. Her testimony eventually convinces them that Vanessa is innocent, but they also discover that Jeremy, who turns out to be alive, has emptied his bank accounts. They then conclude that Jeremy framed her and Reese drops Vanessa at a bus station to flee as Jeremy may try to kill her. But the team discovers that Vanessa lied in the testimony, had a fake passport for herself and did not leave town, intending to kill Jeremy. On his yacht, Jeremy is held at gunpoint by Vanessa. Reese arrives, leaves his gun next to Jeremy and leaves. Reese then has Finch call the authorities as gunshots are heard from the yacht, not revealing who survived or died.
