A quiet dinner party with reclusive artist Simon Thane throws a suspicious light on a single mother in town, Irene Rutledge, when Simon's wife discovers him dead on the floor of his studio and one of Irene's dresses turns up stained with blood. Jessica believes wholeheartedly that the young woman did not kill Simon. However, she suspects Irene has been hiding a secret and that such furtiveness could result in a conviction if she cannot find the truth about Irene and her mysterious past.

* BigSecret: Irene's reluctance to bring her discovery of the body to law enforcement suggests to Jessica that she's hiding something. The "something" turns out to be the fact that she isn't biologically or legally Tommy's mother. She had become close to his birth mother, Irene Rutledge, who died bringing him into the world. She told the nurses she was Tommy's aunt, allowing her to take him, and has been on the run using Irene's identity ever since.
* ChekhovsGun:
** When Sheriff Tupper suggests Irene and Simon may have been having an affair which led to the murder, Jessica brushes it off with the statement that Simon would simply have seen a woman as an interesting subject to paint. While Irene wasn't involved, the discrepancy between the sexual expectations of a nude painting and the reality from Simon's point of view does turn out to have played a large role in the tragedy.
** Jessica goes home in George's car and subsequently discovers a paint stain on her jacket's elbow. It turns out to be from the slashed painting, which Carol had stolen the night of the party.
** The knife with which Simon was stabbed had paint underneath the blood. Carol was slashing up the picture she posed for when Simon happened in and tried to stop her, resulting in his death.
* DeathByChildbirth: Irene Rutledge died giving birth to Tommy, her and Cash Logan's son.
* HappilyAdopted: The "Irene" in the episode did not give birth to Tommy, though she had developed a very close friendship with his mother. Tommy may not know this and adores Irene as the only mother he's ever known.

* ParentalSubstitute: Sheriff Tupper tries to take care of Tommy during his mother's imprisonment and show him various things like throwing a football. He even suggests to Jessica that he might take him in permanently if Irene gets convicted. Of course, thanks to Jessica's detective savvy, it never comes to that.
