Plot summary
Minelli decides to assign the Red John case to Agent Sam Bosco, believing that Teresa Lisbon and Patrick Jane are too close to the case. Jane therefore decides to solve "one more case", then leave the CBI. They investigate the murder of a woman who is found suffocated after being accused of stealing a million dollars from her employer. But the team's suspicions are aroused because she was living in poverty, and estranged from her family including a son who has recovered after receiving expensive cancer treatment for free, and a daughter who mysteriously started to pay household bills in cash. Jane agrees to stay on with the CBI.
