Meanwhile, Nick's partner Gus Moran (George Dzundza) and his psychiatrist Beth Gardner (Jeanne Tripplehorn) are concerned for Nick's safety as more murders occur. But, Nick's sexual attraction to Catherine is not helping the investigation, and Nick unwittingly enters into Catherine's cat-and-mouse game.
