The team re-opens the case of Matthew Adams, a teen-aged cult member who apparently committed suicide back in 1978, when his sister comes forth with new evidence about the deprogrammer her family hired to rescue her brother.

Sidestories

Stillman tells Scotty that they found Elisa in the Schuykill. Apparently she jumped from the bridge.
Scotty :No, she's scared of heights and she was getting better.
Det Anna Mayes gives Scotty the suicide note Elisa left for Scotty on her bed.

Scotty doesn't return Lilly's call but wants to work the case anyhow. He is suspended after beating the cult leader Maurice Warfield:

Maurice Warfield : Suicide's for cowards. Matthew was brave.
Scotty :Talk more about that.
Maurice Warfield : What? Suicide? Well. It's a screw you to the world. I never really loved any of you.
Scotty :Is that right? (...) What else does it proof?
Maurice Warfield : Defective thinking. Narcissism. And that the so-called loved ones have failed.

Scotty is in denial and does not believe it was suicide.

Stillman visits Scotty after Elisa's death

I, uh.. snapped out, I know. Sorry.
Most people wouldn't try to come back two days after something like this.
