A Twist in the Act: Mysteries of Laura: "The Mystery of the Cure to Loneliness"

This week's case deals with a death of a cancer patient that look like a suicide, but there's a twist that will have you going "what?!"

Laura gets a call of a cancer patient, who from the look of everything in the apartment look like it was suicide, but that's what Jake and everyone else thought. Laura thought it was murder, apparently she was right.

The victim didn't have cancer at all. She was pretending to have cancer so she could have friends and do something meaningful. But someone caught her in the act and helped her performance by make-up and such.

Going through suspects, the victim's best friend, junkie who Billy chased but fell from the roof by jumping. It turned out to be the food delivery guy, Ted Burns who has been playing and stealing money from cancer patients for years.

This episode had such a good twist. I love how Laura stands her ground and keeps going for what she believes to be the truth.

Of course, Santiani and Diamond butted heads, but makes the relationship seem so bold. And I can't leave out that Jake's hiding a secret from the rest, popping pills. Something to watch out for in the future.

Overall, I give this episode a 8/10.

Here's a promo for next week's episode.
