Episode Synopsis
A body is found in a pottery store in what's apparently a robbery that was interrupted. Fingerprints at the scene seem to match a twenty year old kidnapping case. Sara and Warrick look into a case where a woman burned to death in her home. The woman was burned to an ash but only the chair she was in was burned, the rest of the house is fine. Sara believes they have a case of spontaneous combustion.

Great episode. Loved the robbery with the girl, hated the girl cause she's a bitch. Damn girl played the parents like fools, and they couldn't give a damn. The spontaneous combustion case is cool too.

Defiintely liked Cath's attitude in this episode. Dumb, dumb parents though. Very good plot twists.

this was so great! i loved how near the end the girl goes"help me dont leave me here with her.....just practicing for court" she is one freaky child!

Had to like the case with the woman who died from the fire since the first suspect is an urban myth. The robbery was overall a great story by itself with one of those "I'll be back" endings.

Loved it! I didn't get fooled with that judge thing tho. Pretty obvious it was him.
