In terms of "real time" I'm in the middle of Case 4 now, so I'm going to try and catch up on these write ups before I start forgetting details. I keep waiting for the lame filler case and it apparently never comes in this game, so that's something.

After we visit Master, we return to the mansion, where Von Karma's pretty much made investigating impossible. We talk to Kate, whos still feeling down from what Master said earlier. A bunch of reveals happen all at once: there's a son of Candyman, the "Angel's Recipe" is actually a book of prescription medicines that haven't been released to the public yet (one of them being the cure for "can't taste salt" disease), Master is the sole heir to the conglomerate that makes Coldkiller X, Delicia is a plant from said conglomerate, and it is likely that Candyman (okay, I'm just going to start calling him Gustavia now that he's important to the case) and Dover/Hoquet and he were probably working together.

Von Karma once again shows up to get in our way. To my utter delight, he gives one of the shortest testimonies of the series (two text boxes!) Despite his taciturn defenses, Gregory successfully shows that Dover and Gustavia were working together through the day before the finals, and that Dovers sherbet was prepared a day in advance. Von Karma springs a trap on us in our cross-examination and reveals Gustavias reason for entering Dovers room: to steal a photo of he and Dover and their sons.

(Interesting side note: for the longest time I thought that there was going to be some switcheroo type deal in the picture with the sons, where the kid standing in front of Dover is actually Gustavia's kid and vice versa. Nothing eventually came of this (yet?), but if you look at the image there are clues there).

Once Von Karma leaves, we logic our way into the truth about the situation: theres no autopsy report, the bloodstained chocolate is gone, but there is blood in the water is there actually a body? Is Von Karma forging a crime scene?

What follows is one of the best scenes in the entire AA series, where Gregory confronts Von Karma and accuses him of forging evidence. The courage Gregory shows here is really inspiring (you can see a lot of Miles in there) and I admit I got chills a few times! Von Karma storms off, saying that hell see us in court. Gregory and Badd prepare a trump card for the trial - which ends up being a recording of Von Karma's coerced interrogation of Master.

Of course, as we all know, Gregsworth ultimately fails in acquitting Master. After a year of trial, Master succumbs to Von Karma's questioning and confesses. Von Karma threatens to charge Kate with murder, even though the body was never found. The trump card does work in getting Von Karma a penalty and forcing the detective in charge, Rip Lacer (no thought necessary for this pun) to step down from his position. Strangely enough though, Master is found "guilty of being an accomplice" - not actually "guilty of murder."

Back in the present, Ray apologizes for not being there for Gregory during the DL-6 case, and he apologizes for holding a grudge against Miles. Oh man. Our boy Ray's gonna get murdered isn't he (don't answer that)?

Next: Kate starts acting "sketchy"
