Letting Go (Body of Proof)

"Letting Go" is the second episode of the first season of the American medical drama Body of Proof. It was originally broadcast in the United States on ABC on April 3, 2011. The episode was directed by Nelson McCormick and written by Matthew Gross and series creator Christopher Murphey.

In this episode, Megan Hunt (Dana Delany) and Detectives Bud Morris (John Carroll Lynch) and Samantha Baker (Sonja Sohn) inspect the case of an interracial couple who are shot dead in their car at Fairmount Park. This case leads them to many suspects, including one of the victim's parents, Al (Barry Shabaka Henley) and Laura Chapman (Brenda Pressley), both who seem to be hiding secrets about the couple's relationship.

The episode received positive reviews, and was watched by 8.49 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings, on the Sunday night it aired in the United States. Critics pointed out Curtis Brumfield (Windell Middlebrooks) as giving "some of the best lines of the night" and providing some "much needed comic relief". Although this episode received positive reviews, it received significantly lower ratings than both the previous and the subsequent episodes, most likely due to the episode moving from the normal Tuesday timeslot to a Sunday night.
