A woman gets a surprise email from an old college buddy. Except he isn't exactly a buddy. Perhaps he would have been, but instead of being a friend, he took her to a fraternity party, and when they were there, he - or at least one of his frat buddies - slipped her a Mickey, and then she was raped.

Well, now the guy is in some form of recovery program (Alcoholics Anonymous, perhaps), which involves as one of the steps apologizing to those you have wronged, and so he makes contact with the woman to apologize for what he's done. Only now it's past the statute of limitations, so he can't be prosecuted. Or can he?

The first thing that the woman does is bring her story to Annabeth, who is sympathetic, but she can't really change the law to make the crime one that can still be punishable. So she'll have to see if she can go after it in some other way.

Now most real-life prosecutors may feel the woman's pain, but I don't know if they would really go the extra mile or not. That doesn't mean that it doesn't make for a decent story - it just means that the story might very well end here. But it wouldn't make for an hour-long drama.

And since this is an hour show, that means it doesn't end here.

Ray goes out collecting information, and before long, he's turned up a bit of evidence that perhaps this is more than simply a date-rape case. In fact, it seems that maybe this has a whole lot more implications to it. It looks like the president of the fraternity, who is now a fine, upstanding member of the community, may very well have participated, if not in the act itself, then in the drugging of the woman, and perhaps in the planning of it.

If this is indeed the case, then that means that it has drugs, as well as potential conspiracy, and that means that there might be more here to prosecute. And that means that Ray gets to run around Indianapolis some more, collecting evidence on a 17-year-old frat party.

I'm not really sure that too many people would remember something that happened at last week's frat party, but to his credit, he turns up a pair of underclassmen who were at the party, and one of them is willing to testify to the case.

Naturally, there is a twist, and it turns out that the woman's husband even knew something about the party, but he insists that he didn't know that it was his wife who was the subject of the events that took place.

So as it unfolds, the man who was "coming clean" gets off somewhat lightly, and the president takes a fall as well. Frankly, I'm surprised that they could do much of anything after 17 years, but what do you expect? Not one of the better shows, but not too bad.
