Summary

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.

He's bragging, he's telling us he's back

I just wish we could met under different circumstances.

Vera: this case became a health issue for me

Sidestories

Nick Vera

Lilly : Vera. What is it about this job? You yap on all the time about the other cases. Why not this one?
Vera : This one did things to me.
Lilly : Like what?
Vera : You ever work a job makes you feel helpless? Yeah, I can always find motive, direction, but... that piece of crap, he stops. Leaves me with nothing. I start second guessing everything, you know? Maybe I'm not the bad ass I think I am.

Why Vera went nuts about the case I start second guessing everything, you know? Maybe I'm not the bad ass I think I am.
Vera harassing the main suspect Bruce What'd you just call me, you little rube? Say it again, come on!
Lilly with rape victim Ellen Detective Vera only looks like a Neanderthal.
Lilly's trick with Carl's girlfriend, Bridget Yeah, we joke about it. You know, cats and book clubs, two sure signs that a woman's all alone in the world.
