This was truly a great episode. Kudos to everyone involved including a great guest cast. Cheryl White as the murdering mother claiming self defense, Hunter Parrish as the son who hates her, Jared Hillman as the son who's supporting her, Shanna Collins as the confused daughter who basically decides the outcome of the case and another older daughter who we finally get to see 3/4 of the way in played by Yvette Tucker. Also, Bruce Davison as the defense attorney and Davenia McFadden as the trial judge both did good jobs in supporting roles. A key to a good episode includes good writing, story, good actors (preferably who have chemistry with each other) and some good direction. This episode has everything. I've seen some really good episodes of Close to Home and this one has to rank among the 3 best ones I've seen so far.
