During the investigation, Logan and Wheeler learn the victim had a passionate, wholehearted relationship with her boyfriend, as she was pregnant with their child and wanted to marry him. Unfortunately, her parents had already planned an arranged marriage for ethnic reasons, the boyfriend's mother denigrated her family origins and did not want her son being forced into a marriage with someone from overseas.
