8/10
An Emotional Cliffhanger

Warning: Spoilers
I'd never seen this episode before. It looked interesting. So, I finally watched it. Your classic rich father/son duo in the coffee business. Both flawed in character. Especially the egotistical Dad. He was very unlikable. But played well. I thought both actors did a good job portraying each and the odd relationship they had. Dad impregnated the son's fiancée after we learn he couldn't get her pregnant.

She turns up dead. It looks like either one or both are involved. The case becomes complicated due to a juror. But all the assumptions they make are wrong. The ending is a total cliffhanger. Shocking the audience. The ending left a bitter taste when the guilty person is revealed. It was unnecessary.

A good episode with lots of drama and excitement. But a crushing ending that tarnished it somewhat.
