Body of Proof <strong>Episode</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> Kate arrives at the morgue and wants to know how comfortable Megan is with the publicity surrounding this case. Megan replies Kate should know. She is intensely involved with the investigations until they are solved. When Kate asks Megan’s preliminary deductions, she replies it first appeared she must have been strangulated and assaulted. Meanwhile, Ethan points out that Hillary’s body has a number of bad injuries, but her knuckles do not suggest she fought back. Before long, Hillary’s mother has arrived at the morgue, but can hardly step out of her car. People have punctured her tires, broken her windshield, and egged her house. However, Detective Bud escorts her to the office. She is in great grief. She comments her daughter was a little wild at times, but sweet and joyous otherwise. She hoped her grandson would change her wild attitudes, but now they are both gone. Kate and Megan are compassionate. Hillary’s mother spots a familiar woman in the office lobby. Megan explains the Judge Hunt is her mother. Then she continues listening to her, as she reveals that Hillary met her boyfriend in high school. He got her pregnant, and before long, sent her on her own path. After the meeting, Megan’s mother is warning her about probable questions she might have to face from the press. She is not saying anything about Hillary’s death, nor for defending her. And she should remember that. Later, Ethan announces his opinion to Megan, especially when she is bucking him up to get his investigations done faster. It took a year fighting for justice for dead boy Simon, and in the end it never came. Curtis reports to Kate that he has found large amounts of antidepressants and alcohol in Hillary’s system. Besides, he has also found out that Hillary had a history of domestic violence in her childhood. That could have reflected in her adult life. This case is depressing Curtis. Later as thousands arrive at the police station to claim they killed Hillary, all of them turn out to be false. Megan knows only the real killer will not turn up voluntarily. DNA tests reveal that sexual assault on Hillary was caused by a person named Greg Benna. However, he is turning up on Temple of Justice tonight. Later, Megan and Bud arrive at the show, and before Temple can get herself shown on TV for long, Bud arrests Greg — who until now has been claiming to dread the ferocity of the crimes related to Hillary Hunt. At interrogation, Greg insists he did not kill her, although she had come over to his place, had a few drinks and made love. When Bud thumps down the pictures of her bruises, Greg explains she liked rough sex. When Bud asks, buried alive kind of rough, he keeps insisting he did not kill her. When he woke up, she was gone — as crazy as it might sound, that was the truth. Ethan reports the samples he found in Hillary’s calf injury. It suggests she broke through a boat window. Not before long, Bud and Peter get to the docks, and notice a woman cleaning up her deck of broken glass pieces. They bring her to interrogation. She claims she wanted to help Hillary. So she got her into her boat, gave her pills to rest, and since she had to go out, she locked Hillary in. Bud points out that can tantamount to imprisonment. However, she insists she was trying to keep Hillary out of danger, and also keep her out of harm’s way. Curtis points out since Ethan has found traces of natural hair spray particles, which neither Hillary or the boat woman used, there must have been someone else on the boat. Immediately, Megan sets off to meet Sheila Temple. She is with her media crew, and Hillary Hunt haters are waiting for developments. Although Megan never wanted it, Temple is quick to grab her in front of the cameras and take her interview mockingly. However, Megan has news for her — she is the leading suspect for now. When brought to interrogation, Sheila cannot believe the kind of publicity stunt the detectives are pulling off, and when she hears about the natural hair spray thing, she argues a multitude of people use such sprays. She did go to the boat that day, but because she wanted to expose Hillary hiding in a boat. However she was gone by then. Later, when Megan meets her mom at the judgeship polling booth, a man lays in on for keeping killers like Hillary out of jail. Meanwhile, Detective Bud is checking out the video tape that was filmed when Sheila went to the boat. It turns out Sheila was saying the truth, but in another footage, Bud notices a man who had come in previously claiming he killed her. When he is got into interrogation, he claims to have kicked Hillary hard on her left side when he recognized her. However, Megan later discovers that although the left side livers show signs of injury, the right rib is the one clearly broken in the X-rays. Not before long, she is reprimanding Ethan not only for negligence, but also for disrespecting the investigation and being too casual. The next morning he apologizes, and comes up with promising evidence regarding the case — the killer drove her to the construction site from the dock — they are just a mile apart. Tire marks reveal a lot. Bud deduces that the car might belong to Hillary’s mother. Bud and Megan go to 82
Body of Proof <strong>Episode</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> the house, and notice a car parked outside. From the tires, Bud recognizes that left tire is a new one — the cheapest replacement. Megan and Bud arrest her — but she wants to see her dead daughter, and she is ready to say everything. At the morgue, while weeping over Megan’s face, she reveals that when she discovered she was at the boat, she was driving her home, and learnt that she had sex with Greg only so that she could have another baby. That is when Hillary’s mother knew she had killed her son. She saw the look on Hillary’s face, after which Hillary ran out of the car. She hit herself on the head, and when her mother saw she wasn’t moving, she covered her under the dirt at the construction site. 83
