Recap / Criminal Case City Of Romance Case 07 Beastly Behavior

Go To

The team arrives at 81 Rue Cortot, the address they found in the last case related to a possible animal trafficking ring. What they find, however, is former American zoo owner Jackson Peacock, dead from a stab wound to the heart.

Tropes:

  • Asshole Victim: Jackson Peacock, animal smuggler and all around sleazy bastard.
  • Attack on the Heart: How Jackson died from being stabbed.
  • Back for the Dead: Jackson Peacock appears as the Victim of the Week three whole seasons after his debut.
  • The Bus Came Back: Harper Stone returns as a suspect.
  • Disposable Sex Worker: A non-lethal variant for the sex worker. Jackson asked his sugar baby Kiki Kloss to marry him so he could get a visa to work and live in France, and she would get money in return. However, once the marriage went through, Jackson bribed the right people so that he could divorce Kiki and not have to leave France. Kiki, who already found Jackson to be creepy and repulsive, snapped at being used like that and stabbed him to death.
  • Shout-Out:
    • One of the killer's attributes is that they watch the movie Aurélie. One look at the box, and it's clear the movie is actually Amélie.
  • Who Murdered the Asshole: Jackson, being the piece of crap he was, seems to have been hated by all the suspects.
