Conlon meets with his campaign manager, Durkin, who tells him he needs to know all about the skeletons from this life, and the one before. Conlon wonders whether he should actually run.
Conlon reviews the evidence from the crime scene.
Conlon, Annabeth and Maureen discuss the case. Conlon announces that he will allow the son (also the accused) to visit his mom at the hospital. Annabeth questions if the decision is political. Conlon says rather emphatically that it is to show that the office can do it's job *and* show compassion.
Annabeth feels she has found the motive - the father had cut off Eric financially - the father also had a $2 million life insurance policy.
