Detective Rollins payed Yates a visit in prison and showed him the picture of the victim. Yates said it was a copycat.
The victim was identified and it turned out she was a twin. Rollins went back to the prison with Fin in order to talk to Yates again. Yates said that the photo reminded him of something that happened when he was a senior resident. In the townhouse, the team found another dead body.
Susie the fiancé of Yates told them that she knew the victim that was found in the wall. The victim's name was Lena. It turned out that Lena's fiancé was Doctor Carl Rundrick the same medical examiner that did the autopsies on both bodies.
