Episode Recap

A bride is walking down the aisle with her father. The heart above opens and the two pigeons fall down dead. The bride faints. But she never wakes up. Mac and Danny are on the scene. They find redness in her eyes, but not from tears, but the redness was probably from an allergy, and there is hardness to her skin, like a chemical exposer. Kylie Macca walks in. Apparently she was fine the night before but was a little off, though they put it to clothes. They all head to the bridal suite. The place is trashed. They take evidence of the drinks and everything, kylie finds a syringe, and Danny notices she drank straight from the bottle.

In the morgue, Hawkes is preparing the dead bride. Her back under the dress is pale white while above it's a different color. The dad comes in screaming, with the fiancée. The dad is angry that they are performing an autopsy, Walter the husband wanted it so he could find out what happened. The family was Jewish. The father wants to wait until the rabbi comes in, and Hawkes informs him that the sooner it gets done the best. He escorts the father into the room, the groom is left out.

Aiden, flack and Stella are at a monastery, supposedly it was haunted. He believes it. They enter the monastery. Just a hand was found next to a pair of cuffs. They find the hand, and look around; Stella finds the rest of him. Stella figures, he chewed his own hand off. It looks like someone was trying to dif a whole, but there's nothing there. He's an ex con. Stella asks some engineers some questions, the one found it. The vehicle was reported stolen weeks ago. They bring the car back to the lab, and Aiden is checking it out, she finds a slip of paper with what looks like a small map.

Mac and Danny, there was a lot of alcoholic use, there was no GHB, and the needle as botox. So they go to plan B, examine the birds.

Stella is with Hawkes, the father is watching the body of the girl, according to Jewish custom. Her vic is Rick Amadori. Starvation and Hypothermia, and trauma. Also extinguination are what killed him. Whoever hit him was to get him unconscious but not dead. He also has teeth marks on his knuckles from hitting someone in the face with their mouth open, happened within 48 hours of death. He was stabbed in jail.

Danny and Mac are cutting up the birds and examining them. There were cleaning products inside the basket. Someone wanted them dead. They find a woman, Della, who had specific access to the cleaning, the birds, and the basket and worked that day. She didn't clean that woman. She killed the doves because she came up with the idea, but the head of catering took the credit.

Stella is questioning the guy who shanked the Rick. The fight was from Rick stealing his food tray. Apparently Amadori attacked him.

Mac and Hawkes put on yamakas to watch the rabbi with the dead. They respected the father's wishes- now its time to do the autopsy. Her arms are severely pale as well, but her hands normal colors. Danny is checking out the dress and he finds some trace. He gets some and puts it away. He also finds loads of hairs. He tests them and they are not a match to each other or the brides. Hawkes is talking to Mac about the bride- she was poisoned- and in no relation to the birds poisoning. The bride's color happened from toxicity with formaldehyde, her skin was dying. Mac questions the maid of honor, and the husband. They found the hair on the dress it matched his, and also the bridesmaid, it was inside the wedding dress. Audrey the maid of honor had dated each other before hand. But she claims that she and Hannah were friends. The groom admits to sneaking into the bridal suite but he saw Audrey in the wedding dress, and she tried getting him. But she gives them a hint; it was bought at a resale shop.

Flack comes down to Stella, so they figure it out, what and where he did between Queens Plaza and the monastery. They go off.

Stella and Flack are at a diner. Show the picture; apparently he got a fight there. They find out he didn't have time to steal the car. Aiden is in the lab, Stella comes in. she got prints off of the gun, no match in aphis, but matches with flesh from under the hand of Rick's. So no hit in Codis. There was a close male relative of Victor Mulcahy. He has a son and Victor was killed by Rick. Stella and Flack question Victor's son Connor. He claims he didn't steal the car, but the prints they got from him match the stolen car. He claims that he didn't steal the car and that a friend drove the car. He says he fell. He was in foster care. He admits to doing it, saying he was waiting for him there. And says he killed him. Stella looks at him. She's at his house with flack. And finds clippings and everything on Rick Amadori, and his parole officer's name. Stella isn't too sure. Flack leaves saying he's going to the DA.

Danny walks in, says he founds the killer to Mac. The dress, every fiber, contains a large concentration of formaldehyde. She was killed by her wedding dress. The formaldehyde was not the same Audrey has the access to. It was seeped into the dress from the inside. Mac connects two to two together. Formaldehyde and the resale dress. The wedding dress came off a dead person. They go to the wedding shop. He asks who he got the dress from, a guy who came in with quality stuff, John Smith; he doesn't ask too many questions. A wedding dress and two suits. They take the clothes this other john smith donated. They test it.

Stella and Aiden are looking at the small map like picture. They find something on the other side, and Aiden swabs it. He didn't want to lose it. Aiden and Stella are looking at it. It's an image of a cross. It's the front of the monastery. He was digging for something in the ground. They think someone set him up. So Stella goes to the prison and examines Robert Lugano's room. She finds a pad that has an imprint of the map on it. He drew the map out. he lured him there. Stella and Aiden are examining the photos in the lab. Mac walks in who got a call from flack. She gets angry. Mac tries to stop her from freaking out, and rolls her eyes as she's on her rant. He keeps saying Stella. And she is ignoring him. He yells it and she stops. He tells her that her cell was off and she had a voicemail from Flack saying that he wasn't going to the DA and he wouldn't until they agreed and he didn't mean to be so thick. They walk in, and get a list of visitors.

Bobbie Lugano got visors from Lance Moretti. She examines some articles. She got him.

Mac is with Danny in the lab. Someone in the funeral business is selling clothes from the dead and getting profit. But they don't know how to find him. They dust the buttons and zippers since whoever was doing it, had to get the clothes off the body.

Hawkes is on the street, another man is dead, Gordon Samuels. Danny and Mac are on the scene. They fiend a handkerchief. PD. The same discoloration on the skin. He is selling to more than one shop. Danny gets a hit Peyton M. Davis. Aiden comes in with clothes. He died two weeks ago and was buried by Swinton Mortuaries.

Flack and Stella are with the construction workers. She questions them, but she knows the answer. She says someone would have to know the walls to attach handcuffs. Lance was the construction worker. She wings it and confronts him with how it was done. How he attacked Rick on the head. He is trying to deny it. It was payback, from Lugano to starve him. Apparently Lance owes Lugano, he was the unidentified guy. He claimed he was going to let him go if he was still alive

Mac is interviewing John Swinton. Who admits to making a mistake. He asks how many more pieces are there and he says he swears only one.

We see Connor being cuffed and walked out; Stella asks for a minute and asks why he said he did it. She says you don't want to end up in the system. Here we find out she knows what it's like to be a foster kid. Was upset that he had built his life so long to kill this man, and couldn't. he wanted it to be true. He says it's lucky she never met her folks. She asks why, and he says he doesn't know what she's missing.

We are back at a wedding ceremony. Mac interrupts, saying he needs to get him out of the suit, saying he needs to take him out of the suit, and says he's doing it to save his life.
