1Sarah Purcell, an employee at a fertility clinic, is murdered, and frozen embryos have been poured down the sink. As Briscoe and Curtis investigate, clues lead to a dead man's first wife, Arlene Galvin, who was trying to prevent second wife Coral Galvin from using embryos frozen during Arlene's marriage to the late Mr. Galvin. If Coral were to do so, this would entitle her to a portion of Mr. Galvin's estate. The frozen embryos at Sarah Purcell's crime scene had been destroyed deliberately. Arlene believed that if Coral got pregnant with those embryos (biologically Arlene's) she would be primarily interested in the money coming to her rather than the children. She arranged for her driver to destroy the embryos, and Sarah came in, so he killed her. In the end, Arlene will be going to jail for 5-10 years. As for Arlene's embryos, Coral will not be allowed to use them.
