The VCTF is called in to assist in a stalled investigation. Sam is leery to intercede, for her friend and former lover, Michael Westmore, is leading the investigation. The case revolves around a series of killings in which the victims have been burned alive. Once they begin their investigation, Sam and Bailey disagree about Michael's handling of the case. Whereas Sam feels her friend should be given some slack, Bailey feels the man's performance sub-par and should not be excused. Forensic evidence shows that the victims' eyes were the specific target to the killer. Sam uses her intuition and the evidence gathered to theorize the killer did not want to be seen by his victims. She later determines the man feels a great sense of shame, thus the reason he cannot bear to look someone eye to eye. Another victim is killed and Sam doubts whether the same killer is at work. It is later revealed that the copy cat killer is really Michael, using the same m.o. to cover up the murder of his mistres
