Mercy

Graham asks to speak to Cam about Jamie’s case, but Cam declines. However, Graham remembers that Cam is the one who hired him and believes Cam has some hidden sympathy for Jamie. Graham asks Allie for help in unearthing it. Graham meets with Hugo, who is cooperative and tells Graham everything he discovered about Maggie’s manner of death. He notes that Jamie’s skin underneath her fingernails doesn’t necessarily indicate struggle and that Maggie looked peaceful in death.

Allie shows Cam the bonsai that she has been working on as Mia walks into the shop, and Cam feels sandwiched between the two women. He has been lying to Allie about working extra shifts and spending that time with Mia instead. Allie brings up the question of getting a Christmas gift for Jamie. Cam initially shoots it down but absentmindedly tells Allie to organize one when he remembers she is heading out of town for the case the next week, immediately brightening his mood.

With Angus’s help, Allie manages to get a picture of Jamie and Cam as children at Carrymuir and frames it. When she shows it to Cam, he is livid; he doesn’t want Jamie to receive any piece of shared history with Cam.
