Recap provided by TVFan
The episode opens in February 1980 with 8 year old Tim Barnes buying a notebook at a corner store. Tim
leaves after store owner Murphy lets him slide for not
having enough money to cover the notebook. He heads
into a snowy alley, but he is soon chased and knocked
down into the snow, unconscious. He is left to die in
the freezing cold. The case box is archived in the
vault under the name "Tim Barnes."
Present day, Lilly finds Stillman down in the vault
looking at a case. She asks him about it, and he
tells her how he worked the Tim Barnes case back in
'80. He wasn't able to solve it. He asks Lilly to
take a look at it for him. She agrees.
Lilly and Scotty meet with Stillman about the leads he
followed back in 1980. He liked a group of black
teenage glue sniffers led by Latrell Richmond. The
investigation didn't lead anywhere, and Latrell split
town after Stillman questioned him. Lilly goes to
talk to the Barnes. Tim's father Greg tells her that
the night Tim died was very chaotic. His wife Nicole
was taking care of the baby, Greg was washing Tim's
sister's hair, and Tim wanted to go to the store to
buy a notebook. Both parents told him to ask the
other parent, so Tim just left without either parent
realizing it.
Vera and Jeffries go speak with Latrell's mom. She is
very skeptical of police because of what happened to
her son. She tells them that she hasn't seen or heard
from Latrell since the night he left after being
questioned by Stillman. Jeffries notices the picture
of her grandchildren, but she says they're from her
daughters.
Scotty questions store owner Murphy, who now works in
real estate development. He is very racist and quick
to finger Latrell for Tim's murder. He says that he
saw Latrell and Co. bothering Tim on the corner
outside his store the night Tim died. He IDs Latrell
instantly from the picture that Scotty has of him.
Later that day, Lilly visits Stillman in his office.
She tells him that the Barnes spoke highly of him. He
tells her his daughter is pregnant, and it got him
thinking about the Barnes case because he missed her
birth working on this case. It has really bothered
him all of these years because he lost is family and
never solved the case.
The next day, Vera discovers that Latrell's two
sisters have three children each, but there were seven
kids in the picture at Mrs. Richmond's house, leaving
the possibility that the 7th child is Latrell's.
Lilly and Scotty take Stillman to the crime scene. He
shows them where they found Tim's body, Murphy's
store, and the corner where Latrell and Co. were
sniffing glue. They notice a Catholic Church near
Murphy's store and decide to look into a possible
pedophilia scandal back in '80 because the Barnes were
Catholic.
Vera and Jeffries speak with a woman who used to be
involved with Latrell. They had a son together (the
7th grandchild), and she tells them that Latrell also
goes by the name Julius Smith. He left years ago with
her money as well as their son's money and she hasn't
heard from him since.
Lilly and Scotty can't get the diocese to disclose the
whereabouts of the priest in 1980 (Father Declan) at
the church they saw near Murphy's store. Scotty knows
that Lilly has a "relationship" with ADA Kite, and
suggests that she consult him for a court order for
disclosure of Father Declan's whereabouts. At Kite's
office, he tells her that Father Declan is at a
retirement home for priests, and he gives her the
address. He wants to discuss "that night" (when they
kissed in "Hubris"), but Lilly is busy. He gives her
his number and tells her to call him anytime. She
says maybe.
Lilly and Scotty talk to Father Declan in the
retirement home. He tells them that he left the
church after Tim's death because he couldn't handle
the race riots from the case, not because he was some
sort of pedophile. He went to talk to Nicole Barnes
that day because she was having trouble dealing with
three kids. He tried to council her, but she was
really overwhelmed. Lilly realizes that someone
confessed to the murder, but Father Declan won't say
anything because confession is a sacrament protected
by both church and state law. Lilly concludes that
Father Declan left the church because he couldn't stay
somewhere were a member of his church got away with
murder.
Lilly suspects that Nicole killed Tim because she was
suffering from post-partum depression. Stillman wants
her to talk to Greg again before going to Nicole.
Vera and Jeffries get a tip on Latrell's whereabouts,
but doors slam when they show his picture around the
area he's supposed to be. Vera, Jeffries, and Scotty
decide to flush him out with "No Drugs Today." They
set up lawn chairs on the block and flash their badges
every time someone pulls up to buy drugs, hoping the
loss of business will cause someone to give up
Latrell's location.
Meanwhile, Lilly talks to Greg again about that night.
He doesn't know what happened because he couldn't
find Nicole. She came in from outside with nothing
but a t-shirt and shorts when it was freezing outside.
She said she was sorry, but three is too many. Tim
was missing and neither of them knew where he was.
Lilly wants to talk to her again, and Greg agrees as
long as he's there. Nicole tells them that she went
outside to get some air and to smoke on the front
porch. She made a prayer to God to take away her
burdens and he did. She has felt responsible ever
since. She stopped going to church and tried to kill
herself.
One of the prostitutes on the block comes up to
Vera/Jeffries/Scotty because she's losing business.
They tell her they're looking for Latrell/Julius and
she walks off. They're hoping she spreads his name all
over the block. Later that night, a young boy comes
up and gets Jeffries cell number so he can call him
about Latrell/Julius.
Lilly runs into Kite at the police station. He wants
to take her out for drinks since she is in the middle
of eating french fries for dinner. She agrees, but
hesitantly. Outside Lilly's house, Kite wants to come
in and she agrees as long as he likes cats. They go
in and she introduces him to "Olivia" (who only has
one eye) and a white cat that Kite calls "Tripod"
because she/he is missing a leg. Kite begins kissing
Lilly, but she stops him when he tries to take her
hair down. She says that she's not ready for that
yet. He leaves saying it's a start to the adventure.
Lilly and Co. raid an abandoned house after Jeffries
gets a tip on Latrell's location. Lilly gets one of
the residents to give him up by stepping on his drugs.
They find Latrell and bring him in. Stillman
interrogates him about the night Tim died. Latrell
confesses that he and his friends asked Tim to steal
model glue for them, but he didn't kill him. He
believes that someone killed Tim to frame him so the
black kids would go away, thus raising the property
values in the area. He points out that Murphy now
works in real estate, and would stand to gain the
most. He also tells Stillman that he saw Murphy
banging on the church rectory's door in the middle of
the night after Tim's murder. Lilly, Scotty, and
Stillman know that someone confessed to Father Declan
that night. They decide to bring Murphy in and make
him think that Father Declan told them everything.
Murphy comes in thinking that he's going to pick
Latrell out of a line-up. He sees Father Declan
writing something down for Scotty. Really, he's
writing down instructions on how to start a baseball
league. Once in the interrogation room, Lilly lies
and tells him that Father Declan left the church, so
he was free to tell them about Murphy. Murphy
confesses that Tim was ungrateful when he stole the
glue for Latrell and Co. It angered him because it
takes away from those who earn an honest living. He
chased Tim and hit him in the head. He left Tim
unconscious out in the cold to die.
The closing scenes have Genesis's "Follow You, Follow
Me" playing behind them. Lilly and Stillman take
Murphy to jail, Stillman sees Tim Barnes, Latrell is
welcomed home by his mother, Stillman helps his
daughter set up baby furniture, and Lilly stands in
front of the mirror in her bedroom. She takes her
hair down and gets into bed, hugging her two cats as
she goes to sleep.
