Ep 5. Necrosis and New Beginnings

Rosie and Villa had already had their fair share of mysteries and cases and this episode titled Necrosis and New Beginnings would prove to be another one that would leave them scratching their heads. As the title suggests, the episode starts with the discovery of a corpse that seems to have suffered from necrosis. The body was found in an undeveloped area, and the detectives have to conduct an extensive crime scene investigation due to the fact that there was no clear indication as to how the person died.

As they sift through the clues, Rosewood and Villa learn a male patient at the local medical center had been diagnosed with the same rare disease that led to necrosis as the dead body they found. That patient, however, had disappeared without trace. Rosewood and Villa investigate the hospital and speak to several people about the patient in question. They soon end up at the facility's psychiatric ward, where they discover that the patient might not have left the facility not due to missing but having a different agenda.

After digging through some medical records and interviewing some more suspects, including some doctors, they uncover a shocking killer who is administering a drug trial on the patient and is willing to do whatever it takes to keep the trial on track. This revelation leads Villa and Rosewood to uncover a mistaken identity, and when the body is revealed to be someone else entirely, it looks like things are starting to fall apart.

As the rest of the episode unfolds, Rosewood and Villa must race against time to piece together the puzzle and put a stop to the killer before the trial claims more lives.
