Plot summary
Judge Kathleen Harper (A'da Alison Woolfolk) collapses and dies at her daughter Ashley's ( Jazz Raycole ) mock trial presentation, despite fellow Judge Roger Thorson's ( Doug Savant ) attempt to revive her. Maura's initial examination reveals a paint smudge and a scratch on Harper's hand and a needle puncture on her neck. Her purse and its scattered contents are found in a nearby recently painted stairwell. The autopsy shows Harper died from toxic levels of Ritalin in her bloodstream, more than what she was taking for narcolepsy. Tommy anonymously pays Angela's back taxes, using his settlement from the parking garage.
