SUMMARY
Frank investigates a string of assisted suicides, leading him to a man who helps people end their lives with apparent compassion. The case challenges Frank’s views on life, death, and the moral implications of mercy killing, blurring the lines between right and wrong.
STORY
The episode opens with the murder of a wealthy philanthropist named Charlie, who was known for his significant contributions to various charitable organizations. Charlie's death is initially suspected to be a robbery gone wrong, but as Frank Black investigates, it becomes clear that the case is more intricate than it first appeared.
Frank’s investigation leads him to discover that Charlie’s seemingly perfect life was filled with hidden complexities. He learns that Charlie had been involved in multiple extramarital affairs and was deeply entangled in the personal lives of those around him. These revelations point to several potential suspects who had personal motives to harm Charlie.
As Frank delves deeper into the lives of Charlie's associates, he uncovers a tangled web of deceit and betrayal. The investigation reveals that Charlie’s personal life was marked by jealousy, greed, and unresolved conflicts. One key suspect is a former business associate who felt wronged by Charlie’s past actions. Another suspect is a disaffected family member who had been deeply hurt by Charlie's personal decisions.
The turning point in the investigation occurs when Frank uncovers a crucial piece of evidence that links one of Charlie’s closest confidants to the murder. This individual had a personal vendetta against Charlie, rooted in past grievances and personal betrayal. Frank’s ability to piece together these hidden aspects of Charlie’s life ultimately leads to the resolution of the case.
In the end, the episode reflects on the consequences of living a life filled with secrets and the impact that hidden truths can have on both the individuals involved and those around them. Frank’s investigation not only solves the murder but also sheds light on the darker aspects of human nature and the complexities of personal relationships.

An episode that could have been interesting because of its subject: deciding one's own end. The subject is treated in an original way, nevertheless, the episode works moderately, as often in MillenniuM. The episode isn't very interesting and the open conclusion even less so.
