The episode begins with Poppy interviewing a young girl named Shae, who claims to have witnessed her mother's murder years ago.

However, Shae has recently come forward with new information that suggests her mother's death may not have been at the hands of her father after all.
As Poppy delves deeper into the case, she is met with resistance from both the prosecutor who put Shae's father behind bars and Shae's own family, who are against the idea of reopening old wounds. Meanwhile, Ingram has a personal connection to the case that he has yet to disclose to Poppy, causing tension to brew between the two.
