Ep 1. After Dark

After Dark is the first episode in the fourth season of the popular television series Crossing Jordan. This episode sees the return of Dr. Jordan Cavanaugh, a forensic pathologist who works for the Massachusetts State Coroner's Office. The episode opens with Jordan recovering from a gunshot wound that she received in the season three finale.

As the episode progresses, Jordan begins to experience intense nightmares related to her injury and past traumas. Despite her best efforts to ignore them, the nightmares continue to intensify until they become unbearable. Meanwhile, Jordan is tasked with investigating the death of a young woman found in a hotel room in Boston's red-light district.

At the same time, Jordan's colleagues are investigating a series of murders that seem to be connected to a local strip club. As the investigators begin to piece together the evidence, they realize that the killer is targeting women who work at the club. This leads Jordan and her team to suspect that the murder victim they have been investigating may have ties to the same club.

Throughout the episode, Jordan's personal and professional lives collide as she works to solve the murder case and confront her own emotional struggles. We see her struggle with the effects of her injury, the pain it causes her, and her fear of being shot again. 

Ultimately, Jordan is forced to confront her own demons and re-evaluate her priorities as both an investigator and a person. The episode ends with her coming to a realization that sets the stage for the rest of the season.

After Dark is a gripping and emotionally intense episode that sets the tone for the rest of the fourth season. Full of suspense, mystery, and heart, it serves as a satisfying continuation of the show's compelling character-driven storytelling.
