Sandra is not having a very good time trying to find a care home for her demanding and highly critical mother. While visiting the Whitemead's, she learns that one of the residents, Maggie Newley, died a year earlier and the case remains unsolved, though just about everyone seems ready to put it down as a suicide. Her interest piqued, Sandra sets about trying to take over the case but is told in no uncertain terms by DAC Strickland that the case is beyond her jurisdiction. Gerry, Brian and Jack however decide to take some time off to look into the case themselves. With Jack taking up residence and Gerry posing as his son, they learn quite a bit about the residents and the caregivers. They learn that the dead woman died of an overdose of her prescription medicine so the resident nurse is an immediate suspect but so is a resident who was clearly jealous of the woman. The solution however is far more complex.
