Derek suspects that an inmate on Death Row is responsible for a series of killings identical to those which he was convicted.

Following Jennifer Hollybrook's funeral, her fiance, Jeffrey Sandor, tells Alex he'd like to help with the investigation. After she leaves, Sandor approaches Father Norman, the priest who gave Corvus his Last Rites. When Sandor defends Corvus's actions, the priest becomes scared and runs off.

Derek and Kristin head to a small town to investigate several mysterious deaths by strangulation. The spirit of a woman wrongly hanged for murder seeks revenge on those responsible.
