Description:

When the corpse of a missing woman -- kidnapped from a Boston park 13 years ago -- is found at the bottom of the ocean, Jordan zealously searches for evidence pointing to the victim's husband as her killer. However, when the physical evidence fails to support her allegations, Jordan must accept the grim reality that the murder may have been a random attack. Meanwhile, Peter faces the horrific task of identifying his wife's body after she is brought into the morgue, forcing the young M.E. to relapse into his former life. Elsewhere, Lily's eagerness to console a mourning husband creates problems when she compromises her objectivity.

Jordan: People come and go so quickly here.

Garret: Speaking of which, you heard about Peter, right?
Jordan: People come and go so quickly here.”
Garret: It’s my own fault. With his history I never should have hired him.”
Jordan: You tried to give him a chance.
Garret: Yeah, exactly. It’s the last time I ever try to save someone.
Jordan: Yeah right.
Garret: I’m serious.
Jordan: Come on Garret. You ask me you got a classic St. Jude complex.
Garret: Oh this oughta be good.
Jordan: Yeah, the patron saint of lost causes.
Garret: I’m familiar with the reference, but what’s it got to do with me.
Jordan: Hello, it’s been your MO ever since I met you.
Garret: That’s a load of crap.
Jordan: If you say so…but if your not a sucker for hard luck stories, then what the hell am I still doin’ here?

Bug: Look, everyone messes up Lily. My first autopsy I lost someone’s pancreas. I’m still lookin’ for it.

Lily: How do I know I’m not gonna make another mistake.
Bug: I’ll tell you right now, you will. That’s the chance we take when we try and help anyone. You wanna know who told me that? You!

Peter: Why would you give me another chance?
Garret: I’m a glutton for punishment. See you in autopsy at 2am.
(At the beginning of this episode Garret was complaining about Peter being late and Bug says he’s not a morning person. At the end when Garret takes Peter back he makes this comment—to torture Peter…he’s gotta have some fun with Peter.)
