Vondie Curtis-Hall guest stars as Beaumont Rosewood Sr. on tonight’s episode of “Rosewood”. Though don’t go expecting to hear about any happy father-son reunion.

The relationship between Rosewood and his father could be described, at best, complicated. Apparently junior had gone into his profession because of his admiration for his father’s work as a Medical Examiner but unfortunately the two came to disagree on the best way to handle a body in their care. So at the time they did what was best and dissolved their working partnership.

However that doesn’t mean that their work hasn’t overlapped over the years. It seems they had both been brought in to review Anton Monroe’s case. Anton was a pro-surfer with his life ahead of him when one drunken night changed everything. He was suddenly diagnosed with surfer’s myelopathy after he had woken up with no idea of what happened the night before and so there’s a question surrounding the night Anton had no memory of.

The victim later claimed that he was started to remember what happened and he believed he had gotten into a nasty argument with his swimming coach who he was about to replace. But sadly Anton later died from his injuries and the Senior Beaumont refused to take on the case. So Senior’s claim at the time was that he had found no wrong doing involved.

Yet Rosewood was approached not long after his father was and he claimed to have seen something his father missed. He said the victim had been injected with a syringe on the night no one could recall and that’s what caused him to be diagnosed with surfer’s myelopathy. It seems Rosewood believes that someone had attempted to give Anton a pulmonary embolism that should have killed him and instead made the victim a quadriplegic.

So at the murder trial for Anton Monroe, both Rosewood and his father were the dueling expert witnesses for the prosecution and the defense.

Rosewood stood by his analysis and was even prepared to testify to the fact that Anton had been murdered meanwhile his father was there for the defense ready to knock down whatever argument Rosewood could come up with. Therefore the men were taking their work into their personal lives and disrupting courting by bringing their personal issues in front of a judge. But all of that was pretty harmless until Rosewood’s mother received a subpoena to testify against her husband.

Pippy didn’t fare any better because she too received a summons to testify against her brother. Though the defense would have always have used the fact Rosewood treats himself as evidence he was misusing drugs. Donna Rosewood on the other hand had to answer some questions about the night her husband was caught drinking and driving. And it turns out Senior and his wife were holding something back.

It seems they had previously gotten a friend of Senior’s to test their DNA because at one point they were still looking for answers as to how their son was born the way he was. And the results did come back but it wasn’t good. Apparently their friend ended up finding out about Senior’s unknown genetic defect and so when Senior learned about – he began to drink to excess and was soon caught by the police for being O.1 over the limit.

So Rosewood had heard about that, he felt hurt. He would have liked it if his father had come to tell the news before a trial forced him to and unfortunately that drudged up a lot of old issues from the past. Like how Rosewood had always wanted to have a father but he felt he constantly stuck with a doctor.

Senior was his doctor after all and a lot of the time the son felt like his treatment got in the way of just having a normal relationship with his dad. So that’s why he went on to fire his dad as his doctor. It looks like he had been hoping things would change after that.

But just as Rosewood coming to a breaking point, Villa entered the picture and stepped up as a friend. She had decided to help Rosewood prove that Anton was murdered and together they talked Anton’s parents into allowing another autopsy. Only no one had anticipated that the judge on the case would make both Rosewood and Senior work on the autopsy together.

By then, everyone knew they couldn’t play so well together yet the judge found a reason to ignore that and another autopsy was carried out.

And in the end, both men agreed that Anton was murdered but they didn’t think it was his coach seeking revenge. Remember the pulmonary embolism. Well it turns out that neither of the doctors had actually checked the embolism itself. So when they did that’s when it became clear that someone had injected Anton with gel around the time of his death and that it was his status as quadriplegic that brought about his death.

So the doctors passed on their information to Villa and she brought in Jeff. Jeff had once been Anton’s teammate and it looks like had attacked Anton on the night he couldn’t recall. But then Anton began remembering certain events so that had freaked Jeff out enough to inject the other man with a gel like substance that he knew would kill his former rival.

Therefore both of the Rosewood had been right in their own way. Our Rosewood knew Anton had been murdered but his father was right when he said Anton’s coach was innocent.

And though they will still butt heads in the future, the case did bring Senior and his son closer together.

THE END!
