Briscoe tells Van Buren that Brandson withdrew his claim once the cops began investigating. Curtis adds that the necropsy was stopped since there was no claim anymore, and Briscoe finishes by saying they have no proof that Wickets didn't die of colic. He and van Buren joke about the low odds of the Police Department paying for the necropsy themselves. Curtis complains about Brandson buying his way out of jail. Van Buren calls this naive.

At his farm, Christopher says he was hoping to see Brandson that weekend -- Brandson is a regular customer. He plays off all the horse deaths as being due to illness or poor care, and finishes by saying that Wickets' death was tragic, but horses do die. Chirstopher provides an alibi for the night of Wickets' death -- he was at a bar -- and then leaves.

* EveryoneHasStandards: In the beginning, Curtis makes no secret of the fact that he thinks investigating the death of a horse is a waste of time. But when he sees how badly upset Brandson's daughter is by the loss, he clearly feels sorry for her and states a desire to see her father punished for putting her through it.



* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Curtis is initially ''very'' dismissive of the horse's death, even repeatedly calling it a "nothing" case (to the point of angering Van Buren with his behavior). However, once it's discovered that a person's disappearance is connected to the crime, he takes it much more seriously.

* HollywoodLaw: Rey and Lennie lament the fact that they cannot arrest a man for killing his daughter's beloved horse for the insurance money, as he has technically committed no crime (he withdrew the insurance claim on the horse's life and, therefore, cannot be prosecuted for insurance fraud). Did they forget that they could still arrest him for animal cruelty?
