Jordan takes a road trip with Lily to recover a body, but the assignment becomes complicated when the body vanishes. Elsewhere, Woody runs afoul of a rogue cop while investigating the death of a 16-year-old boy; Ivers continues to scrutinize the morgue staff's practices; and Lily wonders how her dysfunctional love life will affect her parenting once her child is born.

Nigel and Woody team up to stop the murderous rampage of a serial killer named the Hangman, an Internet-savvy psycho who communicates with Nigel via taunting posts on Nigel's blog. Meanwhile, Jordan is assigned to audit past autopsy cases for anomalies and discovers Bug may have helped put an innocent man behind bars years earlier.
