Plot

When a pair of English exchange students are found dead in their apartment, Lupo and Bernard seem to catch an early break when their primary suspect is handed over by her brother. However, the Manhattan DA's office grows suspicious when the woman, who is obviously mentally disturbed, tries to strike a plea bargain that would be unfavorable to her rather than trying the insanity defense.
