Summary

The team re-opens the 1997 case of a 16-year-old high-school cheerleader when they discover an anonymous confession to the girl's murder.

- It's an atom. Or the universe. Or high school. You don't want to be these orbiting dots, because then you get all tangled up in... the beginnings and endings of things, and you bump into other dots.
- What do you want to be?
- The center. Grounded... and observant. Still.
