The cold case team reopens the hit-and-run of a man killed on New Year's Eve 1999 when a possible suspect comes foreward. The investigation reveals the list of supsects are endless. You have the victim's wife, who may have killed him so she could be with Mel, their friend. Or the local bully, who may have killed Gary (the vic.) because of an earlier confrontation. Or... could it be Tammy (who came foreward)? Or... the victim's own son? You suspect so many people until the end, when a surprise twist is revealed: the victim was also poisoned!

- Nitpick: Det. Rush uses her cell phone in Mel's hospital room where he was on monitors. It is common knowledge that cell phones interrupt monitors and are forbidden in hospitals.

  EDIT SHARE
- Nitpick: (highlight below for a spoiler)
  If the car hit Greg's head while he was lying sick on the road, wouldn't an autopsy or even a simple look of Greg's body note that there was only damage to his head, leading to the conclusion that the only way the car could have hit him there was if he was already lying on the road? If he had truly been hit while crossing, there would have been damage to his legs or torso.

- Segment of Confession Letter (highlight below for spoilers):
  New Year's Day I went to Greg and Susan's to watch college football and when Greg's back was turned, I put the digoxin in his margarita. I didn't know how many hours it would take to kick in, and I wasn't sure if I'd given him enough. So that night, out celebrating New Year's Eve, I gave him a second dose. At the bar, we toasted the new century. I wasn't happy about what I was doing. I liked Greg. I loved him, too. But it had to be done. When he downed that last glass of champagne, I knew it was the end.

- Russell Brinkley: Ah crap, I didn't see anything!
