Plot Overview

A psychopathic killer escapes custody and heads for Eastbridge, ostensibly after the cop who put him away, a longtime friend and colleague of Tony's. When his friend disappears, and his car is found near a large wooded area, a search begins, during which they find the cop's body buried. The killer attempts to go after the cop's family next, but winds up in a car chase with cops that ends with his fiery death. Some inconsistencies in what the dead man's widow says, combined with a check into the couple's finances, suggests that the escapee might not be the killer, and Tony must find a way to back up his suspicions. At home, Rachel gets rid of all the furniture, including Tony's favorite chair, and hires a decorator to redo the place, only to take matters into her own hands when she doesn't like what the decorator does.
