After Sandy Kilkenny is arrested for tossing a pool cue at her husband's head, the squad brings her in hoping that they can finally put to rest the murder of Rita Brice eight years ago. Unfortunately, even though Ali goes undercover in a cell with Sandy, she refuses to implicate her husband, even though everyone tries to tell her that Neil Brice is no good.

Helen Larsen comes to Ali with a story about a repressed memory that had surfaced during therapy. Her sister Marilyn was killed when they were both children and she now remembers the details and the killer… her father. But it's up to Ali and the Cold Squad to provide the evidence to support this story. Meanwhile, Inspector Ross asks her to talk to a dying hit man, hoping she can persuade the man to talk about some of his victims, particularly a bag lady named Nancy Seniuk.

Ali and Inspector Ross return to the Squad room in formal dress, their conversation indicating that Ali accompanied Ross on an official function, but there is indication that Ross is interested in her. Meanwhile, Logozzo has turned up some evidence of an old murder and the victim leads to a disappearance of Rev. Douglas Somerset. Somerset had left to go on mission trip in his own plane, but the plane never took off. Speculation is that Somerset was murdered by a hooker. The odd thing was that once the family had reported the missing man, they never checked back to see if the police had turned up anything. The circumstances of the man's disappearance causes Ali to think about the loss of her father, a pilot, in a plane crash. His body was never recovered.
