Summary
A police officer comes to Dr Graf with bad news. He's released the body of Anna Foltyn for burial but now blood tests are showing that the death was suspicious. While Moser and Rex wait at the funeral, Böck races to get permission to halt the cremation. Without the body, they have almost no chance of discovering the identity of the murderer or Anna's secret.
The good
There were lots of good scenes for the inspectors in this episode. Höllerer has dinner at Moser's house and has fun playing with Rex - until a window gets broken. Böck and Höllerer conspire to steal Moser's food. Böck gets very passionate when interviewing a suspect.
The bad
Somebody (I'm not going to say who) manages to gasp out a secret and then dies a second later. Dramatic, sure but a little contrived.
