Tom Reads his Books

Knox brings in the top homicide detective on the Gemson police force, Danny O'Brien. O'Brien makes quick judgments and forms a theory while viewing the body before going with Knox to meet Emily Herchel. 

Knox's Sunday morning is interrupted with news of Johnny Greene's murder. Arriving at the scene, he finds Johnny, dead on the sidewalk of Wayne Avenue. 

Lost in thought, Cooper takes a walk to clear his head and finds himself downtown. Johnny has decided to make a clean start with Stacey Womack and become a one-woman-man. Heading downtown for a bite of breakfast, he and Cooper find themselves converging on Wayne Avenue. 

Knox has informed Cooper and Lizzy that Johnny Greene will not be charged with her rape. Lizzy takes to her bedroom and refuses to come out, while Cooper wonders how he can make sure this never happens again.
