RACHEL STRUGGLES TO FIND MISSING LINK WHEN SERIAL
MURDERER
LEAVES MANY BODIES BUT FEW CLUES -- A mysterious serial
killer
who abandons a cross-section of victims leaves few patterns for
Rachel and the VCTF team to ponder until she
theorizes that the slayer sees his quarry -- including a
recently abducted young boy (guest star Andrew Sandler) -- as
representatives of various people in his life who might have
suffered painful deaths. While working the case, Bailey must testify before a congressional subcommittee in an
effort to save funding for the VCTF and gets no help from his
new lover (guest star Erin Gray). In addition, Rachel’s
attention is diverted by the ransacking of her apartment, which
she suspects is linked to old enemies in federal law
enforcement.

RACHEL MUST MOVE FAST WHEN MYSTERIOUS SNIPER
TAKES AIM ON PARK
VISITORS -- A desperate Rachel and the VCTF team
cast about wildly to quickly form a profile of an anonymous
sniper who’s perched atop the pump house of a dam with a
commanding view of his victims in an adjoining park, but their
options are limited out of fear that the shooter may have wired
explosives that could inundate downtown Atlanta. While the body
count rises, John risks his life to save some
trapped patrons and Rachel suspects the murderer might be an
enraged husband whose philandering wife (guest star Saxon
Trainor) is pinned down with her lover.

RACHEL RECOILS WHEN CHILD MURDERER REAPPEARS
AND KIDNAPS YOUNG
GIRLS -- A tormented Rachel must push aside her
personal nightmares when she realizes that a disturbed child
slayer (guest star Harry Groener, “Buffy The Vampire Slayer”),
whom she could not convict as a prosecutor years before, has
resumed kidnapping young girls and putting them in gilded cages
where he worships them as virginal “princesses.” At the same
time, Rachel is troubled by the sudden disappearance of her
drug-addicted brother (guest star Raphael Sbarge) from a halfway
house and her romantic relationship with therapist Tom (guest
star Joe Flanigan, NBC’s “Providence”) enters a new stage. Also,
George frets about the hot shot computer whiz
(guest star Judith Moreland) who’s temporarily replaced him
while he’s on leave due to his own struggle with narcotics.
