Recap / Cold Case S 7 E 20 Free Love

Go To

To see if she is good enough for the bureau, the FBI tasks Lilly to solve the case of David Quinn, a GI on furlough from the Vietnam War who died at Woodstock. The trail leads her to a powerful New York senator.


  • Break the Cutie: David's experiences in the Vietnam War turned him into a Shell-Shocked Veteran, a far cry from the good old boy that Annabelle met on the train a year prior.
  • But Now I Must Go: Lilly refuses a spot in the FBI and a possible new love interest to go back to Philadelphia.
  • Dying Alone: David asked Annabelle to wait for him under their tree while he sold his car to Al. He comes back mortally wounded and dies without her present. She thought that running away to Canada together was crazy.
  • Green-Eyed Monster: Al wanted to re-enlist but was denied because of his injuries. He hated that David wanted to desert his country despite being in great shape. They got into a struggle and Al accidentally shot him.
  • The Lost Lenore: David is this to Annabelle.
  • The Mole: Annabelle was forced by the feds to infiltrate a terrorist hippie commune.
  • Took A Level In Cynicism: Annabelle Bennett went from a wide-eyed college student to a government snitch. She is a congresswoman in the present day, a job not known for its idealism.
  • War Hawk: Al was a gung-ho soldier and hated that he could not serve anymore.
