But as Jackson so eloquently put it tonight: Sex and death.

Anyway, much like Hayes did upon her long-awaited return to the CIU, lets get down to business.

she rhetorically asks her colleagues.

JORDAN HAYES, HAYLEY ATWELL

Why does Hayes think its a wrongful conviction?

However reluctantly, everyone accepts their marching orders and gets to work.

Also unsurprising was Frankie and Sams skepticism: An accusation of rape isnt proof of rape.

Despite the seemingly overwhelming evidence against her, Sophie insists shes innocent when Hayes first interviews her in prison.

With enough doubt cast upon Sophies guilt, its time to consider alternate suspects.

The team quickly drops their accusations against Bianchi, however, when he reveals the existence of Travisothervictims.

Like Sophie, any one of them would have reason to want Travis dead.

Another common thread in their stories?

The awesome counselor who helped them through their trauma: Elyse.

(And felt a bit smug about beating Hayes to the punch.)

Another case closed, but thats not all that happened during Not Okay.

Say it with me now: Aww!

Tess is initially hesitant but eventually accepts his offer.

Theres just one thing, though… She hasnt told him who she really is.

In other words, she hasnt admittedshesthe reason he spent years in jail for a crime he didnt commit.

Methinks that might put a damper on their budding friendship/romance?

Frankie encourages Tess to come clean, which she does toward the end of the hour.

I like the chemistry between them, so Im really hoping we see Matty again beforeConvictioncomes to a close.

Hayes and Conner: Not on a breakanymore

Oh, these two crazy kids.

Theyve clearly got chemistry, but is that enough to build a lasting relationship on?

(Welcome back, Daniel Franzese!)

Say it with me again: Aww!
