I thought things would change.

I think we need a new bass player.

I already threw something up on Kijiji.

Really?

Yup.

Maybe just a session guy to get this down.

And then what?

This new guy comes on tour with us?

I don't know.

Stella: You here about the ad?

Uh- I have an appointment with Danny actually.

You ever been in a band before?

No.

Musical influences?

His buzzer isn't working.

Is he up there?

Look.

If you want to join the band-

you're going to have to impress me just as much as Danny.

He is the lead singer.

But he's not the only one you have to audition for.

What?

You're not here to audition for our band, Rosey Field?

No no, you know what?

I'm sorry, there's been a misunderstanding.

I'm here for a guitar lesson-

with Danny.

[keys rattling]

Danny's upstairs.

Okay.

Jesse: So.

You're looking for a new bass player?

I thought you said you didn't see the ad?

Yeah, well I mean I didn't.

But you're Stella Ray.

Keyboards and vocals.

Danny- he plays acoustic guitar.

But you said he also needed to approve the new member.

So he's not leaving the band.

Wanda Loring plays drums.

But I'm not a drummer.

So that leaves Marcus Payne, the bass player.

So you know the band and you're some kind of Sherlock.

Jesse: Charlie.

His name is Danny Collins.

He's the lead singer of a band called Rosey Field.

He runs this recording studio when the band's not on the road.

And he was your guitar teacher?

Yeah, for the past few months.

He wasn't answering the door-

when I came in for my lesson.

His band mate, Stella Ray-

she let me in.

And she told me she left just after ten last night.

She said Danny was still working.

But she's sure she locked up when she left.

Take a look at this.

Looks like the door was forced open by a screwdriver.

Do you think Danny caught them and a struggle ensued?

[Rex barks]

Charlie: Dust ring.

Excuse me.

Could you tell me what was on this shelf?

Uh- Danny's songwriting award.

He got it for our first album.

There's been some

really sketchy dudes-

There's equipment missing.

What was here?

An audio interface.

Some hard drives.

♪ [intriguing music]

[Rex sniffing]

So, it could have been a break-in.

Mm-hmm.

The victim could have surprised the intruder.

[Rex sniffing]

Got hit over the head for their troubles.

But-

[Rex barking]

[Rex sniffing]

It doesn't look like robbery was the motive.

[Rex barks]

[Rex barking]

Donovan: Charlie.

Yeah.

We've got another case.

A woman was found dead in her own home.

Her neighbour is the President of the Police Board.

And he wants chapter and verse.

I need you to handle it.

Okay, well what about this one?

Isn't it your day off?

Yeah.

The victim was my guitar teacher.

I came in for a lesson and-

found the body.

I'm all finished up there.

Danny Collins died of blunt force trauma-

between midnight and 4:00 AM.

Multiple blows to the back of the head.

No defensive wounds.

Jesse how well did you know the victim in the case?

Good guy, great guitarist.

Other than that-

I didn't really know him outside of my lessons.

Congratulations.

This one's all yours.

The rest of you-

I need you across town.

Okay?

Sarah, I'll fill you in.

Okay.

Okay.

Danny was hit in the back of the head.

It means he had his back turned.

He wasn't fighting anybody off.

And wouldn't turn his back on the intruder.

So-

the break-in and robbery were faked.

Danny was killed by somebody he knew.

[Jesse sighs]

You got this.

Come on Rex.

♪ [mysterious music]

Thanks.

So, it looks like Phoebe Barnes drowned.

But there's no physical indication of foul play.

No bruising or signs of struggle.

Well a healthy woman doesn't just drown in her bathtub.

I'll check for underlyig health conditions.

A seizure, a heart condition-

adverse reaction to medication-

could have caused loss of consciousness.

Mm-hmm.

[Rex sniffing]

I mean, it's also possible-

that she took something deliberately.

I think we can rule out suicide.

I found her journal.

Her entry from this morning-

it was talking about her plans for the day.

It seemed upbeat.

She was even drinking Chinese herbal tea.

It was like she was taking care of her health.

It looks like you're right.

She did have plans.

She was taking fertility medication.

[Rex barks]

What have you got?

[Rex barks]

Okay.

One of these is not like the others.

[Sarah sniffs]

[Rex barks]

[Sarah sniffs]

Hmm.

This one does smell different.

It's chemical.

So someone poisoned her by tampering with her medication?

I'll test it.

To use this woman's hope against her seems cruel.

Mmm.

I'm going to go talk to the husband.

Come on pal.

Let's go.

Trent: Let me get this straight.

Um-

An hour ago-

I found my wife-

dead in the bathtub.

And you're asking did we have a happy marriage?

There's nothing on your bedside table upstairs.

There's only one toothbrush-

in the primary bathroom.

You two were sleeping in separate rooms.

Yeah, we were married a long time.

You know what that's like?

Well I do know that when things aren't good-

emotions run high.

A man could feel trapped.

Did our marriage have problems?

Yeah.

Yeah it did.

I guess you caught me there, Detective.

The husband is always suspect number one.

But you're going to have to do better than that.

Because I wasn't even in the house when Phoebe died.

I was with a client.

I'll give you their name.

By the time I got home, it was too late.

That won't be necessary Mr. Barnes.

The thing is that-

the person who killed your wife

didn't have to be in the house this morning.

All they needed to do was poison her medication-

and wait for her to inject it herself.

Her fertility injections?

Who besides you and your wife had access to that medication?

[Rex whines]

Um-

Our housekeeper.

And Phoebe's nephew-

Niall lives with us in the basement suite.

Oh and we had a party.

Two nights ago.

The house was full of people.

I'm going to need a list of the guests.

Officer.

Let's go.

I'm going to rush tests on Phoebe Barnes's medication.

Oh great.

Can you find out when she filled her prescription?

I need to know if she had it two nights ago.

Okay.

What's that?

It's enough alternate suspects to buy Trent Barnes some time.

They're party guests.

People who could have had access to Phoebe Barnes' medication.

If it was in the house at the time-

But I'll find out.

Okay.

Wait.

Danny Collins is on this list.

The victim in the other case?

Yeah.

Two people that know each other-

dying on the same day?

I think these murders are connected.

♪ [dramatic percussion]

♪ [intriguing music]

Jesse: I don't understand-

how these two murders are connected.

Danny Collins was hit over the head-

in his recording studio-

downtown.

Meanwhile, Phoebe Barnes-

drowned in her bathtub-

in a mansion across town.

You know we actually think that she was poisoned.

Sarah is running some tests.

But you are right.

They are two completely different M.O.'s.

But you think these two victims knew each other?

Yeah, Danny was over at the Barnes's house-

for a party on Saturday night.

And the fact that two of them were killed on the same night?

It can't be a coincidence.

And they're both in the music industry.

Phoebe was a concert promoter.

Did big national tours.

Did very well for herself.

Jesse: And Rosey Field was rubbing elbows with her?

Good for them.

Well, I mean it should have been.

Until something went very wrong.

I want you to find out what.

Okay.

He makes it sound so easy.

[Charlie chuckles]

This doesn't seem obvious to me at all.

Well it's not, yet.

[Jesse sighs]

Okay.

Okay, so-

Danny's band mates are also on this guest list, right?

Stella.

Wanda Loring, she's the drummer for Rosey Field.

And Marcus Payne, he's the base player.

Yeah.

That's three other people who knew both victims.

But Marcus was planning on leaving the band.

Stella told me that this morning-

before we found Danny.

So was he leaving on good terms or bad?

I'll find out.

[phone chimes]

Unless you want to take the Danny case back?

Or- ?

Uh, no.

No, let's work this together.

You already have the inside track with the ba.

I'll look into Phoebe's home life.

And Sarah has something for us.

Come on.

Okay.

Rex.

Okay, okay.

So you identified the poison that killed Phoebe Barnes?

Well first of all-

Phoebe's fertility clinic confirmed-

that she picked up her medication

four days before she died.

So it was in the house the night of the party.

Yeah, and as for what it was swapped out with-

it wasn't exactly poison.

I rushed a tox screen on Phoebe and turned up nothing unusual.

But I also tested the syringe that Rex picked out.

And that told me to-

run a plasma test on Phoebe's blood.

And?

Sarah: It showed an extremely high

insulin to C-peptide ratio.

An insulin overdose.

So she would have had severe hypoglycemia-

which would have caused loss of consciousness-

or a seizure.

Is that why she drowned?

Well whoever swapped the meds

couldn't necessarily have predicted she'd drown.

But it was clear that somebody was trying to harm her?

Well insulin is helpful at the right dosage-

to control blood sugar, but-

you administer a sufficiently large dose-

and whether or not the person has diabetes-

the consequences can be fatal.

And this was a sufficiently large dose.

Did Phoebe Barnes have diabetes?

No.

And neither did anyone else in the household-

according to her physician.

Danny Collins had diabetes.

I saw him check his blood sugar

a few times.

And he kept insulin in the fridge at the studio.

Yeah it's here in his medical file.

Okay.

So let's assume that it was Danny's insulin-

that killed Phoebe Barnes.

Okay first thought worst thought-

Danny's insulin-

Did he kill Phoebe?

[Rex groans]

And if so, who killed him?

No no no, more likely-

someone killed the both of them.

But who would want both of them dead?

One step at a time, cowboy.

Yeah. Sarah: Okay.

I'm going to go to the studio and get Danny's insulin.

I'll check for finger prints and see

if I can match it-

to what I found in Phoebe's medication.

Okay, great.

Let's see who had access to Danny's insulin.

Okay.

I'm going to check to see if I can track down Niall.

That's Phoebe's nephew.

He hasn't been seen since his aunt was found.

Got it.

There's one other thing.

Okay, so an insulin overdose

doesn't result in any remarkable features-

that would show up in autopsy.

So the killer might have suspected

that the true cause of death would never be found.

Sneaky.

Sarah: Yeah.

It's only because Rex found the syringe-

that I knew what to look for.

Otherwise, it would have been tough-

to prove that this was murder at all.

Good job, partner.

[Rex barks]

Come on.

Marcus: I couldn't believe it-

when Stella called and told me about Danny.

Now you're saying that someone killed Phoebe Barnes, too?

Who would do something like that?

Marcus, that's what I wanted to ask you.

Do you know of anyone-

that might have had a problem with Danny?

Danny just cared about the work.

I don't see how that gets someone killed.

Look, I heard you were leaving Rosey Field.

Was there any bad feelings there?

[Marcus sighs]

By the end of our last tour-

tempers were frayed all around.

And I figured it was time for me to get a real job.

I'm not 22 anymore.

So it was your decision?

You quit the band?

It was mutual.

[Marcus sighs]

Being honest-

there was a blow-up.

We all said things that we shouldn't have.

And today, I regret that more than ever.

Listen, Danny and I-

we had our battles.

But there was always love underneath.

Yeah.

That blowup, Marcus.

Was it recent?

End of the summer.

We all went our separate ways a while.

I got this job.

Didn't hear much from any of them.

I just figured they were all mad at me.

But you heard from them this week, right?

Danny reached out.

And he told me he was working on songs for the new album.

Phoebe was high on the band.

And he wanted to know if I'd consider going back.

And what did you say?

Things could be toxic in the band.

Danny and I disagreed about-

songwriting credits-

royalties.

Not that there's much money in it.

But-

it's the principle of the thing.

Sure, but-

you said Danny took songwriting credit?

Look, I don't need to re-hash it all.

Point is, I'd already made up my mind.

Put it behind me.

Yeah but you told Danny that you weren't coming back-

even if Phoebe was going to manage the band.

Danny and Stella wouldn't take no for an answer.

They took me out to lunch on Saturday.

Said, Just go to the party.

Listen to what she has to say.

And you agreed?

Yeah.

I had a long chat with her at the party.

She was a smart lady.

She didn't change my mind.

And how did Danny take that?

Fine, I guess.

I don't know.

Do you mind?

I've got to get back to work.

I just have one more

routine question for you.

Where were you last night-

between midnight and 4:00 AM?

I was at home.

Alone.

Sleeping.

Yeah okay.

Okay.

Trent: So you're asking about the band, Rosey Field.

Can I take that to mean you're not here to imply again-

that I murdered my wife?

Why don't we see where this takes us?

I have two homicides, possibly connected.

You ever been to Danny Collins's recording studio?

No.

Why would I?

Your wife was planning to sign the band.

Had them over to your house.

Maybe there's a reason that you would go there.

No.

Never.

Are you sure-

that it wasn't just a coincidence-

what happened to Danny?

It's unlikely.

[Trent clears throat]

So you're here to talk to Niall.

I mean, I'm surprised he's not back yet.

You know Niall-

is a big fan of Rosey Field.

[Trent clears throat]

Is that right?

Yeah.

I think he's the one that put Phoebe onto th.

He followed the lead singer around all night at the party-

like a puppy dog.

[Rex yelps]

Danny Collins, the lead singer?

Yeah.

Phoebe had to suggest that he back off.

Thought it might be making the guy uncomfortable.

See Niall-

he wants to be a musician.

How did Niall react when Phoebe told him to back off?

He wasn't happy about it.

Where was he last night?

I don't know.

I mean-

his suite has a separate entrance.

I don't hear him coming and going.

But you were here all night?

Yeah.

All night.

Any way to verify that?

That I was home sleeping when Danny Collins was killed?

No.

♪ [mysterious music]

[Stella sighs]

I can't believe Phoebe Barnes is dead, too.

Not even a week ago-

we found out that she wanted to sign Rosey Field.

To a tour?

No, it was bigger than that.

Danny said Phoebe wanted o get out of concert promoting-

and into music management.

She wanted to start by putting Rosey Field on the map.

It's hard to believe anyone in the band

would want to harm her under those circumstances.

Harm her?

We wanted to hug her!

With her knowledge and her contacts in promoting?

Her reputation?

This was going to be huge for us.

Our big break.

But first you had to convince Marcus to rejoin the band.

Phoebe wanted the whole band.

It's original members.

And if Marcus didn't agree to come back-

would that put your deal with Phoebe in jeopardy?

Maybe.

But Marcus was always going to come around.

But you were auditioning a replacement-

two days after you asked him to come back.

Danny was sure he could convince Marcus to come back.

I just wanted a back-up plan.

Did everyone see eye-to-eye on bringing him back?

Sure.

Stella.

Jesse, this is Wanda Loring.

The drummer, of course.

I'm Detective Mills.

I'm with the police.

You look way to young to be a homicide detective.

Are you even old enough to drink?

I still get carded occasionally.

But yeah.

Oh.

It's nice to know they sent the A-team for Danny.

Wow, okay.

Yeah okay.

Just don't listen to her.

She's just dealing with her grief.

Wanda, listen.

It's not just Danny.

Phoebe Barnes is dead, too.

No kidding!

What are the odds?

Pretty low.

So we don't actually believe this to be a coincidence.

Fair enough.

How did she die?

We think she was poisoned-

with Danny's insulin.

He kept his insulin here at the studio, right?

Yeah, he did.

He spent way more time here-

than he did in his own apartment.

And who else had access to this space?

It was only the band who had keys.

Wanda: So, I guess that means-

Marcus and Stella and I are your prime suspects.

Niall Elson?

Don't.

I said don't.

[Rex barks]

Come on.

Let's go.

You always run when you see the police?

I had other plans for my day-

besides getting arrested, yeah.

So I borrowed Aunt Phoebe's car-

and forgot to tell her.

Everyone should just chill.

Your aunt-

Does she normally call the police when you borrow the car?

Last time I took it without telling them-

it was a whole scene.

Oh, so you've been having problems-

with your aunt and uncle lately?

I didn't think so, but-

Niall.

Come on.

You know that we weren't at your house because of a borrowed car.

Then what?

Your Aunt Phoebe was found dead this morning.

What do you mean?

We're investigating her murder.

Did you see her this morning-

before you left the house?

Yeah.

Um-

She made me breakfast.

Then she went out for a run.

She said she was

working from home today.

That's why I didn't think it mattered if I took the car.

If I start asking-

no one is going to tell me

that you and your aunt had a problem are they?

No!

She was good to me!

She said she liked having me around!

Okay.

Okay.

Was Phoebe having problems lately?

Not that I know of.

The party that was at your house two nights ago.

Did you remember anything unusual about that?

Aunt Phoebe throws great parties.

Or, she did, I guess.

Rosey Field was there.

I don't know if that's unusual.

But it was cool.

Yeah I heard you're a big fan of the band.

Phoebe introduced me to Danny Collins.

He gave me good advice about being in music.

I play drums.

I'm trying to-

get into a band.

Yeah I heard that-

that your aunt-

she told you to leave Danny alone.

How'd that make you feel?

Fine.

I was kind of taking up too much of his time.

Did she often tell you what to do?

Who to hang out with?

No!

She gave me advice about my music career.

Is that what you mean?

Danny was really encouraging too.

He said to come by the studio some time and play for him.

Such a nice guy.

Charlie.

Well, that was informative.

Trent Barnes may have wanted me to think

that Niall had something to do with this.

Rex, come on.

Let's go.

But the nephew's a long shot.

Really?

So you don't think he had anything to do with it?

Well unless he's a great actor-

I think I crushed the poor kid telling him that

his two favourite people in the world just died.

What have you got?

Well, looks like there was some drama-

behind the scenes in Rosey Field.

Uh-huh?

Phoebe Barnes was ready to offer them their big break.

But Marcus might have been a holdout.

You think that might have caused an argument with Danny?

Maybe.

Sounds like there was a little bit of history between them.

It could have come to a head.

Or maybe someone in the band

did have a murderous grudge against Danny.

And maybe Phoebe's husband wanted out of the marriage.

How could that add up to motive to kill both of them?

Hmm.

Hey.

Sarah: Hey.

Okay, so-

I collected the insulin Danny was keeping-

in his fridge at the studio-

and tested it against the residue we found in the syringe-

that Phoebe Barnes was using.

There's no way to match it conclusively.

But it is the same type of insulin.

Okay.

Well, assuming that it is Danny's-

is there any way that we can we narrow down

when it was stolen?

Yeah, we got lucky there.

I talked to his pharmacist.

And Danny picked up his prescription-

on Saturday morning.

The day of the party.

That's right.

And he switched it that day-

from an intermediate- acting insulin

to a pre-mixed one.

The one in Phoebe's syringe was from his new prescription.

So it had to be stolen Saturday.

Sometime between when he picked it up from the pharmacy-

and the party that night.

New prescription.

[Sarah sighs]

You'd be more likely to notice if that went missing.

Yeah I would think so.

Charlie: So let's just say-

that Danny did notice that some of his meds were missing.

And he had an idea of who'd taken them.

Jesse: Then after Phoebe died-

if it came out how it happened, then-

he could put two and two together.

And identify Phoebe's killer.

And that would account for motive in both murders.

[Rex barks]

♪ [rock music]

[Rex whines]

Hey hey!

Hey!

Glad you guys are here.

So, I was thinking.

If Danny was killed-

to keep quiet about the stolen insulin-

then Phoebe Barnes must be the primary target.

Well I was actually thinking the same thing.

See, her murder was premeditated.

And his was improvised.

So Rex and I paid a visit to Phoebe's lawyer this morning.

And?

She was the main bread- winner in the relationship.

Had assets worth over a million.

And Trent Barnes stood to inherit most of it.

You think he killed her for her money?

Well they had a post-nup.

A post-nup?

So if they got divorced-

he was looking at a serious lifestyle change.

Is that even a thing?

Apparently it is.

They had no money when they got married.

So as soon as her career took off-

her lawyer said that she had it drawn up.

Wow.

That must have been an awkward conversation.

Yeah.

I think maybe I'll ask Trent about that.

Fill me in.

What have you got?

Yeah.

So I was checking Danny's emails and texts.

There's nothing there.

But I was looking at this Rosey Field discussion board-

to see if he posted anything.

He didn't.

But look at this.

The StixFreak-

709?

Yeah!

This guy has been posting for months.

Always about Wanda.

Okay well-

where did it come from?

I've got a little greenhouse in my back yard.

I grow tomatoes, mostly.

Make my own red sauce.

And that's where you found the award?

In the greenhouse?

Went out this morning-

It's a kind of tomato.

When you and I talked yesterday-

you had told me

that you and Danny fought over song-writing credit.

What about it?

So do you feel that your name-

should have been on that award, instead?

Danny won that award ages ago.

And he shared credit with the band

in his acceptance speech.

So it wasn't our biggest problem.

So you had no reason to take that award at all?

Hey.

Maybe one of them figured

that he was a good candidate for a frame-up?

Wait.

What if Trent Barnes was having an affair-

with our drummer Wanda?

Do you think Trent is StixFreak709?

Well think about it.

His wife-

she was looking for a new career path.

She wanted to spend more time at home.

Wanted to have a family.

What if he was in love with someone else?

Or- or what if- ?

What if he refused to leave his wife?

And his girlfriend decided to force the issue?

Trent had the financial motive.

Yeah.

He wouldn't want

to divorce his wife.

He would have lost a lot of money.

You know what?

Wanda knew that we were looking at Marcus.

She knew about the greenhouse.

Yeah, okay.

Of course.

I'll do whatever I can.

Okay great.

You know, we are getting close-

to an arrest on Danny's murder.

Okay.

I also noticed that-

he had called you Sunday night.

Before midnight-

you chatted for a few minutes.

Yeah, that's right.

Why did he call you so late?

Is that late?

We're musicians.

[Wanda scoffs]

What was the call about?

Mmmm-

Confirming rehearsal time for the next day, I believe.

Did he also ask about his missing insulin?

Ask you why you took it?

No.

See the day of Phoebe Barnes's party-

Danny and Stella went out for lunch with Marcus-

to try convince him to rejoin the band.

You knew about this lunch-

because you were supposed to go too.

Mm-hmm.

But I didn't go.

I don't like to beg people to be with me.

That's when you knew they would be out.

When the studio would be empty.

I suppose I did.

That's when you took Danny's insulin.

Hmm!

And when Danny had notid that his insulin was missing-

he realized that you were the only other person

that had access to the studio that day.

So he called you up to talk about it.

He didn't know what you'd used it for.

So he was probably just puzzled.

Why would I want to kill Phoebe Barnes?

Because you were having an affair with her husband.

That's a nice theory.

You can't prove it, though.

Can you?

If I did have an affair with Trent-

there'd be no evidence of that, either.

No phone calls.

No witnesses.

That's where you're wrong though Wanda.

There was one witness.

Trent.

So whose story do you want us to believe?

His or yours?

[Wanda sighs]

Trent?

[Trent breathes shakily]

What are you doing?

♪ [dramatic music]

It's my fault Phoebe is dead.

Isn't it?

Why don't you just step away from the gun-

and we'll chat about it?

You don't believe that I loved my wife.

But I did.

And no one's going to believe it.

All of our friends are going to find out what I did.

And that's what she's going to be remembered for.

You can still remember your wife for who she was.

I don't deserve that.

Trent-

I don't think Phoebe would want you make things worse-

by hurting yourself -

or anyone else.

God, I'm such an idiot!

I mean, what was I doing?

I'm out at the bar until 2:00 in the morning-

chasing- I mean I don't even know what.

Yeah I understand.

It was just an affair!

You didn't want this to happen.

You know, I mean how much

am I supposed to pay-

for one mistake?

Calm down, Trent.

[Rex barks]

But I ended it.

When Phoebe said

that she wanted to have kids-

and work on our marriage-

I knew that I

needed to grow up.

Mm-hmm.

I chose my wife!

You tried to make things right.

I told Wanda.

I broke up with her.

I thought she'd be cool about it.

But she did this, didn't she?

She killed Phoebe?

You just put the gun down.

Why did she do it?

Trent.

Phoebe was a good woman!

She deserved better than me!

She didn't deserve this!

[gun cocks]

♪ [dramatic music]

Ugh!

[crashing glass]

[Rex barking]

[Trent crying]

Okay Trent.

Time to talk about what your girlfriend did.

Come on.

Let's go.

You okay?

[Trent sighs]

I wasn't going to hurt you, you know.

Well-

Rex is a highly- trained canine officer.

He's not going to take that chance.

[Rex barks]

So how about you explain to me-

what happened-

from the beginning?

Okay, um-

Well Phoebe, she- you know-

she started from nothing.

And she built this big career.

And I was proud of her.

But you know, she traveled all the time.

And even when she was home-

her work came first.

So you cheated.

She took me for granted.

And I don't know.

She was on the road all the time.

So I mean, maybe she did the same thing.

Whatever, it's just-

things weren't good for a while.

and then one day she says she wants to make a change.

Step back from promoting-

so she's not on the road.

Get into management-

and start a family.

And, I mean-

I'd given up on that years ago.

But you still wanted that?

Yeah.

There was no question in my mind.

To be a good husband-

and be a good dad-

That's all I ever wanted.

[Rex yelps]

[Rex whines]

So you had

re-committed to your wife-

and broke things off completely with Wanda.

Yeah, weeks ago.

I wanted to start with a clean slate.

I just- I swear.

I never knew that Wanda was dangerous.

I mean, she wasn't even that upset when I broke up with her.

Wanda: I told Trent what he wanted to hear.

Of course I was furious when he tried to end it.

He didn't have the guts to stand up to his wife-

and tell her the truth.

And what truth was that?

He loves me.

He wanted to be with me.

He was just-

indecisive.

He needed someone to make it easy for him-

to make the right decision for him.

So you came up with the plan to kill Phoebe Barnes

with Danny's insulin.

It came to me fairly easily.

I did hope it would

look like natural causes.

I'd give Trent whatever time he needed-

to grieve his wife.

And then we'd be free to be together.

I'm surprised you figured it out so quickly.

Rex smelled the insulin in Phoebe's syringe.

Ah.

Well-

I couldn't have predicted

there would be a K9 on the case, I suppose.

And what about Danny finding out you took his insulin?

Could you have predicted that?

No.

No, that was unfortunate.

If I had it to do over, I would take it from a stranger.

Or maybe a hospital.

[distant siren]

Jesse: Yeah, she basically confessed to both murders.

Looks like she won't be out of jail for a very long time.

I mean she's always been a bit obsessive-

and controlling in her relationships.

But I-

That's true.

The rest of us used to talk about it-

whenever one of her relationships turned bad.

But-

[Marcus sighs]

we never thought she'd take it this far.

And she really killed Danny-

just so she wouldn't get caught?

It seems that way.

That is cold.

Jesse: Look.

I know it must be tough-

to hear that someone you were so close to

for such a long time could do something like this.

Did she at least say she was sorry?

Was she remorseful at all?

Not exactly.

It was more like she-

it was more like this all made sense to her-

in some twisted way.

Look-

I'm really glad I got to know Danny.

And I just-

I wanted his friends to know what happened.

Thanks, man.

♪ [soft music]

Take care of yourself.

Stella: Jesse.

Yeah.

I think I have an idea.

I'm going to have an officer take your statement.

And you'll have a chance to review-

before you sign.

Jesse.

Jesse: Yeah.

Wanda Loring's confession looks good.

Cool.

Thanks, boss.

Yeah I can't say I'm sorry to go back to the desk tomorrow.

Mmm.

You know, I'd like to say it's toughest-

when a case like this involves someone that you know.

The truth of the matter is-

they're all tough.

Good work.

Thank you.
