Plot summary
Goren and Eames are called to investigate the body of a hospital maintenance engineer Walter Czabo ( Walter James Augustus Lee ). They discover that he beat his wife Anya Czabo ( Roxanna Hope ) who had been sleeping with a decorated former police officer and security consultant Frank Adair ( Michael Rispoli ). When Anya Czabo is found dead in a car in the bay, the detectives begin to focus on Adair after they find that is also having an affair with his ambitious and controlling publicist Janice Steiner ( Jenna Stern ). However, because Adair has close ties to Captain James Deakins and is considering running for governor, Deakins demands strong proof. While Adair's wife Marie ( Elizabeth Keifer ) is assisting police inquiries in police headquarters, Goren challenges Adair about his priorities, provoking him to turn on Steiner and he implicates them both in the two murders.
