Reigning U.S. national skating champion and Olympic silver medalist Sasha Cohen guest stars as Krista Palmer, a champion skater who discovers the body of her friend.

When an intruder breaks into the home of a deaf family and fatally shoots their teenage daughter, Mac works with the grieving mother who relies on her other senses to provide clues that will help catch her daughter's killer. Along the way she also provides assistance to Mac as he struggles in his relationship with Peyton.
