Plot
When psychiatrist Greta Heints is found brutally beaten, her doctor-patient confidentiality trumps the detectives' investigation, it is believed that one of Dr. Heints' patients might've been responsible for the assault. At first, all signs lead to a convicted serial rapist who was recently released from jail, but then it's discovered that one of her patients, a college student named Robert Logan might've been responsible for Dr. Heints' assault. The investigation takes a twist when it's discovered that Dr. Heints developed somewhat of a relationship with him.

[edit] Background information and notes
- This episode appears to have been based, albeit loosely, on the Lozano case. In 1991, 28-year-old medical student Paul Lozano committed suicide after a long battle with depression. During the investigation, police found erotic notes to Lozano from his therapist, 48-year-old Margaret Bean-Bayog. Like Dr. Heints in this episode, Dr. Bean-Bayog had been treating Lozano through age-regression therapy, with her roleplaying as his mother. She said the erotic notes had been intended for her eyes only, to help her deal with inappropriate feelings that she had for Lozano, but that Lozano had stolen them from her office. She was not charged with a crime, but surrended her medical license voluntarily. She was, however, sued by Lozano's family, who accused her of using ineffective therapeutic methods in order to make Paul emotionally dependent upon her. She settled for $1 million.
