Lilly Rush reopens a 1998 cold case that drove Vera nuts. They receive a letter from the serial rapist whose last victim, Gail Chimayo, was also killed and who is about to strike again after no activity during the last 5 years.
Once the main suspect, Gail's boyfriend, is finally discarded, the case gets a whole new angle. Lilly's
sensitive and soft approach makes the rape victims more inclined to talk. The pair obtain a composite and then a scenario detailing how the rapist picks his victims, leading them to the killer.
