Da Vinci’s Inquest - Season 6 Episode 9

Da Vinci is involved in a vehicular hit and run traffic accident, the other vehicle doing the running. Da Vinci ends up with a gash on his head. There were two eyewitnesses, each with a different viewpoint of who caused the accident. Despite this bad start to his day, Da Vinci goes to work. His first case is that of Nick McLeod, who was found hanging in a new unoccupied house for sale. He is the realtor. He looks to have been squatting in the house. They later learn he was separated from his wife. But the unusual aspect of his death is that there is no physical way he could have hung himself with what evidence is at the scene. But they also find evidence of others who looked like they had been partying at the house. They later find Shawn Finch – one of the partiers – who tells them what he saw. Shannon and Williams investigate the death of Glen Bardsley, whose body is spotted underneath fallen leaves at the bottom of a ravine in a wooded area. Their investigation takes them to Bardsley's daughter and wife, the latter who is in a coma in an extended care facility. But Nina, one of the care nurses, knows more about what happened to Bardsley than she lets on. Meanwhile, Da Vinci has a run in with Police Constable Charlie Klotchko, Da Vinci not understanding what problem Klotchko has with him. Lenny Baker withdraws his candidacy for the Chief of Police job, McNab thinking that Da Vinci blabbed to someone about Baker's secret problem. Bell sets up his relationship with Rick Prentice in hopes of getting to Curtis. And Leary continues to live out of his truck parked down by the beach.
