* FatalFlaw: Greed, for Chad Klein. When the order of their parents' death came into question, Chad could have just agreed with his stepsister and lover Alicia to split the inheritance 50/50 and the fact he told Alicia to lie about her stepfather having [[RedHerring last words]]. But Chad had to have it all, and he went through with suing Alicia anyway, claiming that as her mother died first--by her own testimony--his father inherited everything, and when his father died shortly thereafter everything was left for him. In response, Alicia recanted her testimony, claiming Chad told her to lie so he wouldn't be suspected. In reality, she had found them both dead already. Now that he's on the hook for murdering his father and stepmother, he gets nothing.

Bernard and Lupo tell Rubirosa that the fraud case is a slam-dunk; Klein sold the trucks at least ten times. Rubirosa agrees, but isn't sure about the murder charge. Van Buren says that their accountant looked into Rezanov's coded entries; Klein was only paying him $300 per truck. Bernard adds that Rezanov saw Klein, then was expecting money right before he was killed; so the cops posit that he was shaking Klein down and Klein killed Rezanov to get out of the jam. Rubirosa wonders about the black SUV, and Van Buren says that Rezanov doesn't have one, but his wife Patricia does. Rubirosa says that she'll get an arrest warrant for fraud, and a search warrant.

The cops watch security footage of Chad and Alicia kissing. Chad is also in the room, and says that they only kept it secret because Patricia thought of Alicia as her little girl, who needed protection from boys. He complains that they're discussing a relationship instead of finding out who killed Stan, but Bernard brings up that Stan's own gun was used to kill the Klein parents. Lupo asks if Stan found out about the relationship, and Chad says that he did find out, but wasn't going to do anything. Chad adds that Rezanov told Stan -- Rezanov saw the two kissing at the truck lot while Chad's car was being watched. Chad is adamant that, while Rezanov told Stan, Stan didn't care -- until Rezanov threatened to tell Patricia.

Outside, the staff cheers for [=McCoy=]. Rubirosa goes to get cake. Cutter remains in the office, looking pensive.
