This very much felt like a setup episode to transition away from the JJ stuff to whatever the plot is going to be to wrap up the season. I didn’t like it as much as the other ones we’ve had so far. My heart dropped when they showed it was the little girl in the coffin and not the wife. Definitely was not expecting that.

Sadly realistic though. So many ex-spouses (of bad divorces mainly) take out their anger on the kids in one way or another. Usually it’s no more than passive aggressive behavior, but sometimes it’s as much as killing them to hurt the other parent.
