    Storyline

    Edit
    Henry and Jo discover there is a fine line between pleasure and pain when the death of a successful businessman and devoted husband points to a form of ritualized punishment. Henry learns it may be all a question of trust. The man's "domination therapist" comes under scrutiny as a murder suspect, who also wants to help Henry work through his own issues. Flashbacks reveal Henry's emotional story of betrayal after he shares his secret with his first wife, Nora. Meanwhile, Abe is flabbergasted when the object of his intense passion - Maureen Delacroix - his two-time ex-wife, reappears with a tempting offer. —Jiilo_Kim

      Jo Martinez: Scratches on his face, he's got to be dumped. Moving car maybe. And he didn't bleed, which means he was already dead when he hit the ground

      Henry Morgan: Have you ever considered a career as a medical examiner, detective?

      Jo Martinez: No!
