This is another case of the police and their tunnel vision. They have a suspect and that's it. So if Sam, an employee of the city, offers first hand evidence, she is "crossing the line." She offers an eyewitness account of a boy recreating a murder that is being investigated. The boy is one of the persons who found the body of an old woman. Yet, no one is willing to follow up. They have set their sights on one man because he is a down and outer with a drinking problem. This episode ends with Sam facing some serious stuff. It's interesting how this plot plays itself over and over. The laziness of others in her precinct makes them unwilling to look at a big picture. I'm really tired of Trevor, the man with the cigar. He is equally tiresome, coming and going as he pleases and offering little to help out.

Sam is like a dog with a bone.

Sam had seen enough to convince her of the identity of the perpetrators, despite the disbelief and failings of the complacent and near incompetent Police. This feels like the episode where Sam becomes the crime solving Pathologist, she would take on a whole new role from here on, some argued she did too much Police work, others loved her crime solving skills.
It's an intensely sad story, with some horrific Revelations, and a dramatic conclusion. I always thought this was one of the most memorable storylines. I always wanted Sam to tell Peter where to go.
Burton was at her very best here, she was terrific, charismatic and possessing a huge command of the screen.
This was a class act. 9/10

Warning: Spoilers
I love police dramas which is why I continue to watch even though I'm tired of the same nonsense from the characters - Sam overstepping her role as the pathologist and the police being so narrow-minded that they refuse to look at other suspects or evidence. Not to mention how often Sam takes a verbal lashing, from strangers and family/friends alike and never says anything to defend herself. IMO her best scene was when she told Wyn she wasn't taking the blame for their father's death. It's almost like her only role in life is to absorb everyone's pain
