A report of a dead pastor begins a strange investigation into the congregation of the church, and that makes you wonder if all churches have such crazy relationships going on. When the pastor's wife turns up near the state line with blood all over her, she is naturally the prime suspect. But then an investigation of the house turns up a questionable birthday card from the church secretary, so perhaps she deserves looking at too.

Strangely, this card - and the fact that it represents a relationship that is at best inappropriate - is pretty well buried. But nonetheless, the investigators ask her what is going on, and they find a computer and shredded documents, which lead them to discover that the pastor lost hundreds of thousands of dollars in a Nigerian email scam just before he died. Allegedly, she didn't want the details to get out.

While they were looking in her house, they found a case for a gun - but there was no gun inside. They did, however, find the gun in her son's car, and he was out-of-state. When the bring him in, apparently the find out that he and the pastor's wife had a thing going on. Wow.

Once this is brought to her attention - and the attention of her attorney, Doug Hellman, who is getting to be something of a recurring character this season, though his lines aren't nearly as good this time around - she offers him up on a platter. But in court, the son of the secretary turns up some documents showing that the scam wasn't from Nigeria at all, but he and the pastor's wife cooked it up, and they share a post office box. Nice.

At this point, it turns into a case of "He Said, She Said", and I have to say it was a bit disappointing, because with the earlier loss of the potential lead with the relationship with the secretary, and the finger pointing here, it just didn't seem to be as well-written as some other cases that have been done on this show. The son was eventually handed a guilty sentence, but it didn't seem to be as wrapped up as well as it usually is.
