The detectives re-open the 1999 supposed heart attack death of 24-year-old Amy Lind, a former dot-com millionaire, after death threats against her are found on a laptop.
Tropes:
- Arranged Marriage: Malvinder was in one, as his family were traditional Indians. He tried to escape from the marriage by proposing to Amy. However, the present reveals Malvinder and his wife eventually had a Perfectly Arranged Marriage.
- Conspicuous Consumption: Scott bought himself a sports car with Coleman's money.
- Continuity Nod:
- When they are reviewing the accounts of Amy's business, Will complains that's even worse than the poems from last year.
- When Lilly puts away Amy's case box during the ending, the cases boxes of Toya Miles and Krystal Hogan can be seen on the shelf above.
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Coleman and Scott shorted Amy's stock, killed her to cover it up, and Coleman hid the money in an account made into his secretary Geraldine's name so she would be blamed for their crimes.
- Didn't Think This Through: Scott made a Super Bowl ad for the company without Amy's input or consent. It flopped and put them in more debt.
- Dramatic Irony: During their last meeting, Amy tells Scott that she is ready to live for herself and thanks him for staying on her side, completely unaware that Scott is still working with Coleman and just handed her the drink that will kill her.
- Everyone Has Standards: During her interrogation, Geraldine admits she wanted to see Amy taken down a peg but clearly regrets that Amy was killed.
- Fall Guy: Coleman's secretary Geraldine was set up to be one, as Coleman planned to pin her for securities fraud and murder in case the crime gets exposed. He also pressured Scott into actually killing Amy.
- I Let Gwen Stacy Die: Amy created Lionstaff after failing to save the life of her younger brother Gage from a seizure.
- Inheritance Murder: It is suggested that Coleman poisoned his wife the same way Amy was to steal her million-dollar inheritance.
- It Began with a Twist of Fate: Turns out that the death threats addressed to Amy were the work of a frustrated wife and had nothing to do with her death.
- Manipulative Bastard: Coleman tried to get Amy and Scott to turn against each other. He was successful with Scott.
- Poison Is Evil: Amy was poisoned by potassium chloride hidden in an energy drink.
- She Knows Too Much: Amy was poisoned when she found out about Scott and Coleman shorting her stock, threatening to report them to the FCC.
- Spanner in the Works: Malvinder's unseen wife who sent the death threats to Amy, leading to her death being reinvestigated when they are discovered years later and indirectly taking down Coleman and Scott.
- Super Bowl Special: Scott ruined Lionstaff by paying to have an ad for the company air during the Super Bowl without Amy's input or consent.
- Undying Loyalty:
- Geraldine to Coleman. But as Lilly points out, that doesn't mean it's mutual as Coleman fully intents to use her as the scapegoat for his securities fraud and Amy's murder.
- Amy would rather quit than dump Scott as Coleman told her to. Scott, however, was not so loyal and poisoned Amy under coercion from Coleman.
