When a board member of a soon-to-be-public medical tech company is murdered, the team tries to find out who had the most to gain from his death; OA is conflicted when pressure to help a family member is at odds with his commitment to tell the truth.
Tropes:
- Corrupt Corporate Executive: Cemera CEO Corinne Baker defrauded investors, doctors, and patients to cover up the fact that her so-called revolutionary cancer-detecting scanners are actually flawed and have given cancer victims false test results. The case-of-the-week ends with Maggie, OA, and the FBI arriving at Cemera to arrest Corinne for fraud. Even as she is being arrested, Corinne remains in denial that she has done anything illegal, much to Maggie and OA's disgust.Maggie: "I don't get it. If her whole purpose is to save lives, why did she knowingly put so many people at risk?"OA: "Because Corinne's a liar who only cares about her name and her brand. I guess in some lines of work you can get away with that, but not when people's lives are at risk."
- Ripped from the Headlines: The case-of-the-week is a reference to Elizabeth Holmes
