In defence of her reputation I should stress that the random order of KM UK’s Summer Of HD 2014 means that last week’s Dog Day Afternoons was, in ‘reality’ 9 episodes before this one, what ever that equated to in the Cold Case universe. Plus, motorbike man Ray had his ulterior motive for turning up and was not seen again until early in season 4, where he complicates things further. In the ‘cons column’ of marks against Lil’s new distraction is the fact that he’s a dead guy!
Credit to the editors over at the very useful Cold Case Wiki (link always in the list on right) for spotting not only the similarities between Joseph and the 1944 film Laura, but some of the nods to the film within the episode such as the name of one of the cats.
The recent death of Joseph Shaw, a councillor working with teenage drug addicts, is re-evaluated when his credit card is used. Going through the evidence our Lilly is quite taken with the photo of the victim. We know she always takes cases to heart but this case took her heart. After discovering the surprising truth Lilly went a bit rogue. And when found out she went a bit rouge (I’ve wait years to make that joke!). Scotty tried to offer his support. Lt. John Stillman was less happy. Many episodes end with Lilly seeing the ‘ghost’ of the victim. In this one she starting ‘seeing’ the victim. She really ‘knocked on his door’ nudge-nudge, wink-wink 😉
We now have 388 HD (720p) Lilly screencaps and 5 high quality still photos from Joseph in the Gallery, cats included.
