It is often when one least's expects it, that fate arrives at our door. We can't foreseen it anymore than we can escape it. No matter how hard we run or hide, fate. like death, will always find us.
Henry and Jo's murder investigation of an ex-con, Aaron Brown, reveals a special connection between the victim and Jo's late husband, Sean, who was an assistant district attorney. Jo's evocative memories reflect her warm and wonderful relationship with Sean, which become almost too painful for her to bear.
Henry takes a look at the robbed jewelry store and in less than five minutes he managed to see how someone had gone about setting Aaron up for a crime he hadn't committed. His partner on the other hand needed him to spell it out for Jo and the other detective, Hank Dunn.
Jo was going to need more from him in order to he detective working the heist who also happened to be an old friend of hers from the academy. Henry is generally right in these scenarios but Hank was new to him. So Henry had to give them details.
He said Aaron was physically incapable of doing everything the man on the security footage was revealed to do. Aaron was left handed, yet the man in the video was seen to be forcing himself into using his left hand. So whoever set up Aaron to take the fall was probably the same man that killed him.
Henry knew they had to catch this man at any cost and because this is Henry – he proceeded to analyze sweat that was found recently resurfaced ski mask. And what he found was a man obviously suffering the effects of type two diabetes.
The sweat smelled sweet like pancakes and going back into Aaron' s history showed there was only one man he knew that had type two diabetes. This same man was released on early parole because of his health condition. So it wasn't that hard to track him down. After all his probation officer had his address on file.
But bringing him is what proved to be the hardest part. Gunshots were fired and by the end of it both Diego (the suspect) and Detective Hanson had been. However only Diego's wound turned out to be fatal.
So that was it. The detectives felt they had closed their case but Henry wasn't as sure. Especially not after Henry found some diamonds while he was performing an autopsy on Diego. It seems Diego had ingested them when the cops came looking for him. Yet, when Abe took a look at the diamonds he told Henry they were shown to be of low quality. And that just didn't make any sense. How could a known jewel thief steal pieces of cheap rock?
Diego would have had to case the place beforehand and if he saw real diamonds one moment then who had the means of switching them out before they could be stolen? The answer was the store owner. He had to be on the heist and there was just no other way to explain it.
The store owner was going report his expensive jewels stolen and collect the insurance money meanwhile Diego was going to be stuck carrying useless diamonds.
It was the perfect plan until Henry foiled it. And then it was up to Jo and Hank to arrest this guy. But those two never made it to the store to make an arrest. Before they got there, Henry had found out that Hank was in on the heist this entire time and that it was Hank that had shot Hanson – not Diego, after an examination of Hanson's arm. Henry had figured this out whilst Jo was already sharing the same car with the killer. So because her life was in danger – Henry called her and told her to do something very dangerous. Henry told her to crash her car into a barricade.
And seeing as Henry had given his assurances, Jo chose to believe him. She actually went through with crashing her car and like Henry said she somehow survived it.
The trust Jo had placed in him isn't something Henry is used to. Neither of them probably realized how much they depend on each other until that very moment. And after Hank had been dealt with – Henry went to Jo's place to help her through her memories of 's husband's death has really affected her, more so even than killing a man in the line of duty. She wants to move on, but even just a brief video tape of her husband is enough to have her sinking back in despair.
Henry is there to comfort Jo in her time of distress, who knew what it was like, sort of. His wife Abigail who had left him because she feared he would become like his father as well. Still, not knowing if a loved one was alive or dead was just as bad.

5 ways Lucas Wahl is like Vince Misuka
a self-proclaimed "artisan of death" and Dr. Henry Morgan's worshipful assistant. He considers mortuary science an art, and Henry its Picasso. One day, while NYPD investigators were surveying a crime scene in his neighborhood, Lucas worked up the courage to introduce himself to the star medical examiner (Henry). It was the beginning of a match made in heaven. Both Henry and Lucas share a fondness of death, at least when it comes to examining dead bodies.
1. Vince and Lucas are both devoted assistant.
2. Lucas tries to be friends with Henry, like Vince with Dexter, Henry and Dexter brush them off.
3. He is more like the Vince in the book series though, as they both are socially awkward. Remember when he tries to offer Jo a drink?
4. He has a perverted mind, even though it's a little desecrate than Vince. Lucas owns a black light, which he claims at first he got for a rave, but he purchased it to use when he staying in hotels. He reformed rectal surgery one of the rats Henry suggested he recover from a crime scene.
5. Lucas mentions he had done things Johnny Law would frown upon, (and we probably don't want to imagine,if he truly is like Vince) "let your freak flag fly" That's what his mom always said.
Henry and Jo are to Dexter and Debra
Investigating crime scenes, just as funny. Henry and Jo are just like brother and sister.
When Henry is with Jo on a stake out, she is eating a Gyro, and he says the smell is nauseating.
She responds, "Henry, you're around bodies all day and you can't handle the smell of a Gyro."
"You do know what they put in those things, do you?"
"No. I don't care."
She excepts his weirdness, just as Deb did with Dexter. He says the oddest things at the oddest time, but she doesn't bat an eye.
Hanson-Batista
Hanson is a family man, not just to his own family but to his fellow cops as well. He offers to be there for Jo, (when a case that had involved her late husband, distric attorney, comes to light, the suspect of a jewelry theft, was one of her husbands' clients.) even if he doesn't know how to.
