"Divine Directions" -- Annabeth tries to convince a jury of the guilt of an extremely religious woman who claims she was divinely directed to murder her husband, on a rebroadcast of CLOSE TO HOME, Friday, Jan. 20 (9:00-10:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network. Leo Geter wrote the episode which was directed by Helen Shaver. (Originally broadcast 10/25/05)

Annie Potts ("Any Day Now") guest stars as Dr. Marla Dodds, the defendant's razor sharp, media-loving lawyer.

After a competency hearing finds that the woman is fit to stand trial, Annabeth tries to find a motive for the murder and discovers several skeletons in the church-going couple's closet. Meanwhile, Maureen finds out there is more to the story behind a seemingly open and shut case of justifiable homicide.
