Plot summary
Young architect, Noah Preston (Michael Hogan), is murdered and it leads Goren and Eames to an architecture design competition to replace the World Trade Center and the famous architect, Ben Laurette ( Olek Krupa ), whom the victim was studying. Laurette turns out to be a womanizer, married to four different women, however the available evidence points to only one suspect, young wife Meredith Breen ( Jessica Hecht ), who enamoured with Laurette and his legacy, and pregnant with his baby. She realized that Preston was Lurette's illegitimate son and killed him because she believed that public knowledge of his existence would ruin Laurette's career. Meanwhile, Eames announces she is pregnant with a surrogate baby for her sister.
