The show Crossing Jordan season 2 episode 20 is entitled Sunset Division. The episode begins with the team investigating the death of a woman who may have been a victim of domestic abuse. Jordan, the lead character, is brought on to the case as a forensic pathologist to help determine the cause of death.
As the team works to solve the case, they learn more about the victim and her relationship with her husband, who is quickly becoming the prime suspect in the investigation. However, as they dig deeper, they also uncover other potential suspects in the woman's death, including a coworker and a neighbor.
As the investigation unfolds, Jordan becomes particularly invested in the case as she relates to the victim's situation, having grown up with an abusive father. Her personal connection to the case causes her to become more involved in the investigation, even going as far as to track down the victim's young daughter, who had been placed in protective custody.
As the team narrows in on the suspect, they use a unique approach to gather evidence, working with a group of volunteers called the Sunset Division.

Overall, Sunset Division is a well-crafted episode that showcases the show's strengths in both its procedural elements and character development. The unique approach to investigating the case, combined with the personal connections the characters have to the victim, make for a compelling hour of television.
