   Riley and Walker investigate the homicide of a just retired FAA safety   
   investigator. After dispensing with various red herrings, the murderer   
   is the widow of a dead helicopter pilot whom the victim had found to be   
   responsible for the accidental crash.   
      
   Interest choice on the 1 year anniversary of the mid-air collision of   
   the U.S. Army Sikorsky UH-60L Black Hawk helicopter and American Airlines   
   flight 5342.   
      
   The widow subscribed to an AI service that recreated her dead husband,   
   which told her that the FAA finding was flawed and she should hold the   
   investigator responsible.   
      
   In the legal rulings, the judge sustained the defense's motion that her   
   freely offered confession was a Miranda violation. She asked Walker to   
   pray with her. Defense argued that "some courts" have ruled prayers to   
   be coercive.   
      
   Uh, not when the prime suspect initiates it!   
      
   Next, the judge sustains the defense motion that recordings of her AI   
   sessions could not be used as evidence in court as the defendant   
   asserted spousal privilege. She's not married to the recreation, and her   
   husband is still dead.   
      
   Skipping Anthony, Price asks Riley and Walker to do somethings as the   
   prosecution can no longer establish motive. You have until the next   
   commercial break!   
      
   Walker comes up with feeding the AI portions of the FAA report not made   
   public so that the widow will finally realize that her husband was at   
   fault and she killed in vain. It advises her to confess.   
      
   When arguing before the judge, even Price tells the defendant not to   
   listen to the AI and take her attorney's advice. But she changes her   
   plea to guilty.   
      
   Price is pissed at Walker for some ethical violation Price couldn't   
   properly articulate. At least Price made disclosure to defense.
