The victim was a male-to-female transgendered woman who used to be a zealous television preacher when she was a man, but instead became a preacher in a small community on the Chesapeake inhabited by recovering addicts and others trying to start a new life. I thought the episode provided an interesting portrait of how outsiders deal with members of the transgender community, particularly those with strong religious beliefs. The victim's ex-wife was appalled by the notion that her husband had "altered God's plan" by becoming a woman, but the victim's son, on the other hand, seemed to completely understand that the human body is merely a covering for what's really inside, a notion that is at the core of the trans community.
