Without A Trace Season 2 Episode 13 Life Rules

Life Rules is the thirteenth episode of the second season of Without a Trace, a crime drama television series focusing on a team of FBI agents in the Missing Persons Unit (MPU) who investigate the disappearances of individuals.

In this episode, the MPU is called to investigate the disappearance of a young woman named Janelle who vanished on the day of her high school graduation. Janelle's mother, who is also a professor at the university, last saw her daughter when she was leaving for school. Janelle's father, who is absent most of the time, has been traveling for his job.

As the team begins to investigate, they learn that Janelle's disappearance may be tied to her boyfriend who has a history of violence and drug use. Interviewing Janelle's classmates, the MPU discovers that Janelle had recently broken up with her boyfriend and was trying to move on with her life. However, her ex-boyfriend couldn't accept the break-up and has been stalking her ever since.

As the MPU continues their investigation, they uncover more secrets about Janelle's life. It turns out that Janelle was involved in a group at school called "Life Rules" which promotes risky behavior, such as drinking and drugs, as a form of rebellion against the adult world. The MPU learns that Janelle and her friends were planning a big party on graduation night. The party was meant to not just celebrate the end of high school but also the start of their new lives as young adults.

As the MPU gets closer to solving the case, they discover that Janelle's disappearance may be tied to a larger criminal organization. The MPU must work fast to find Janelle before she becomes a victim of a greater danger.

Throughout the episode, the MPU not only investigates Janelle's disappearance but also deals with their own personal issues. Agent Samantha Spade is dealing with a difficult time in her personal life as she is going through a divorce. Agent Jack Malone must confront his relationship with his own son, who is also a high school senior. Agent John Pollock must deal with the consequences of his own actions after he gets injured during a chase.

Life Rules is a gripping episode that keeps the audience on the edge of their seats as the MPU navigates the terrain of teenage rebellion, stalking, and organized crime to find Janelle and bring her back home to her family. The episode highlights the struggles of the MPU's personal lives and how it affects their ability to do their jobs.
