Close to Home Recap: Still a Small Town
Annabeth learns this week of a death in a touch football game, only to find out that the deceased is someone she went to school with, who happened to be married to his high school sweetheart, was playing football with his high school rival and who was in business with his best friend from high school. A small world indeed. I think in a real world, it's unlikely that a prosecutor would have been allowed to remain on the case.
In this world, she did, so we see her uncover memory after memory, including one more doozy, where she attended prom with the business partner - who also happens to become the focus of the investigation as the case moves along, since it seems he was doing some embezzlement along the way and he may not have wanted his good friend to find out what he had been doing.
As it turns out, his best friend from high school was the one who did him in - with antifreeze in the sports drink (which the friend tested on his own dog - that's just sick). As if killing your best buddy wasn't bad enough. You've got to do a test run on your own dog? The guy deserves the chair. Perhaps the worst part is that his friend who owned the company already knew he had been taking the money and paid the penalty for him, so he wasn't going to get busted. Whoops.
