A former professor, Roy Minard, asks Lilly investigate the murder of one of his students, Holly Richardson. He points to the recent murder of a local prostitute, who was whipped and strangled with a car antenna, just like Holly. He hopes that by finding the prostitute's killer Rush can also find out what happened to Holly, thus clearing his name.
He tells Rush that although at the time he only admitted to having an affair with Holly, he had actually had affairs with several other students. He suggests that she talk with them, confident that none of them would think him capable of murder.
Rush speaks to several of Minard's former students and although all of the women agree it was Minard they saw in the papers, none can recall any violent behavior on his part.
Further investigation seems to point to a schizophrenic fellow classmate of Holly's, Barry Kepler. He had written several letters to her, and was stalking her, but when he is questioned, he insists that he didn't do it.
Rush and Valens look into the murder of the prostitute Minard mentioned. They question her best friend and discover the she and the victim, Lenore, had matching belly rings. Lenore's was missing when her body was recovered. Jeffries and Vera find the ring in a pawn shop, and find the man who sold it to the store, a recent parolee named Jesus.
Turns out, Jesus, who's only been out of jail for 6 months, is in Minard's English class. He admits that Minard hired him to kill the prostitute in the exact same way Minard killed Holly, right down to posing her body in a pond to resemble John Everett Millais' 'Ophelia'.
Lilly and Valens interrogate Minard, explaining to him that only the killer would know the details of Holly's murder, since they weren't released to the public. He admits that he was in love with Holly.
Flash back to the night of Holly's death. She breaks it off with Minard, saying she didn't really love him and it was all a game. She walks away and he follows, saying he would decide when it was over. He breaks the antenna of a nearby car and proceeds to whip Holly with it before strangling her to death.
Minard is arrested, and Holly's friends and family are finally at peace.
