* KarmaHoudini: Technically speaking, the worst thing that happens to Vanessa is she is forced to press charges against her boyfriend so that he, in turn, will testify against the person who actually murdered Megan. Other than that, she faces little to no consequences for taking advantage of several of her female employees sexually.

Dennis says Fanning forced him to extort Vanessa for money, and later to stage a video of him pretending to strangle Megan. Fanning killed her, and then pushed Dennis to go ahead with blackmailing Vanessa, or Fanning would send the video to the police and frame him for Megan's murder. But Dennis refuses to testify, so he can protect his career. The prosecutors cannot pin the murder on him.

Vanessa arranges to meet the blackmailer, and the detectives tail her. They arrest Megan's editor and boyfriend, Dennis De Palma.
The prosecutors can prove blackmail, but there is nothing connecting Dennis to the murder. Rubirosa finds out that Dennis went to the Cayman Islands with Megan to open a secret offshore account to deposit the blackmail money into. Dennis has Sarah's stolen computer with compromising material on it, but the theft took place while he was abroad - so someone else is helping him. Vanessa announces she is withdrawing her complaint against Dennis. He is released.
[=McCoy=] questions why Dennis would risk jail for threatening to publish the material, when he could publish it perfectly legally and make a lot of money. It turns out Dennis himself is being blackmailed by his sub-editor Derek Fanning. The police receive an anonymous video apparently of Dennis killing Megan, but a reflection shows there is someone else in the background. Cutter and Rubirosa confront Dennis to get the truth.
