The plotline is straight out of classical literature. The son of a wealthy businessman is found dead of an apparent overdose. Further investigation reveals he was murdered. The suspects are his girlfriend and his brother. The wealthy businessman has an obvious connection to one of the investigators on the case. The key to the case turns out to be a mysterious earring back that proves the gold-digging girlfriend innocent and convicts the victim’s wife and brother.
The underlying plot in this episode is the relationship between Sam Braun and Catherine Willows. We find out that they have known each other for most of Catherine’s life. Sam freely gives information to her during the investigation. The end of the episode reveals the history of their relationship. Sam was once involved with Catherine’s mother. He even regrets not marrying her.
It is a very interesting case, pointing the viewer towards the wrong suspect until nearly the end of the episode. It also sets up the plotline for the season three finale and several other episodes that follow that.
