Motive (US Series)

Dead End (2x5)

: 18, 2014

Eighteen-year-old Emily Williams (AJ Michalka), a senior at Queen's Cross Academy, is killed by fellow student Janine Boxton (Alexia Fast), younger sister of Emily's ex-boyfriend, Aidan Boxton. The Boxtons were like a second family to Emily, with Janine trying to emulate her as much as possible. Rumors had circulated that Emily was having a sexual relationship with a married teacher, which led to her recent attitude change. She broke up with Aidan and decided not to attend college with him the following year. Her attitude change is shown to be from getting pregnant, ultimately leading to her murder. Meanwhile, two potential office relationships arise, one between Cross and prosecutor Samantha Turner, and the other between Officer Sung and Lucas, who is married.
