Death Row inmate Howard Epps has less than 48 hours until his execution when his attorney attempts one last play on her client's behalf and requests Booth look into Epps' case. Reluctantly, Booth agrees and has the Jeffersonian investigate further possibilities.
Tropes
- Bitch in Sheep's Clothing: Howard Epps acts as if he’s an innocent man on death row, he drops the act once he gets his stay of execution.
- Downer Ending: Howard Epps got his stay of execution, but not for the right reasons.
- Gone Horribly Right: Epps' death sentence is delayed because they found out he's killed more bodies than were already known, with those new cases needing to be tried as well.
- Not the First Victim: Epps isn't just guilty of the murder that got him on Death Row, he's a Serial Killer.
