Parting is not sweet sorrow. It's just plain sweet.

A housemaid got in a house for the housekeeping when she realized the alarm had not been set on. The owner lied on the ground dead. Detectives found out the victim had just remarried to a young and charming girl (Gretchen Egolf), out in Bermuda for a holiday at the time of the murder. His ex-wife didn't hold any grudge against him, because she left her husband years before for a dude much younger than her. The victim worked as a contractor and his business went bad, forcing him to get a loan from a loan shark. Detectives realized there was an insurance life policy, so the wife and her lover could have hired a hit-man (a wire transfer in a offshore bank account was the smoking gun), but the killer was unable to perform the murder, because he is behind bars. A video shooting that explains everything leaves the prosecutors speechless...

Sometimes conman could have a soul, knowing what friendship is. Nice episode, I give the highest grade to it, because I was very surprised by the way it ended up.
