Plot summary

In this episode, Detectives Goren and Bishop investigate the death of a woman found slashed and beaten in the family's bathroom.

At first, Goren and Bishop believe the wounds were self-inflicted, but they soon turn their attention to the victim's husband, who has a history of violent behaviour. While the subsequent investigation is not successful, they discover the woman died in the same way as several pensioners in the home where she worked, and learn she also discovered their bodies.

But since the detectives cannot implicate the suspect in his wife's death, Goren delve into the family's tragic environment and think the murders were racially motivated by the victims ethnicity.
