The first season of ''Cold Case'', an United States, American television series, aired on CBS from September 28, 2003 to May 23, 2004. ''Cold Case'' is a drama about Lilly Rush, an enigmatic and highly effective detective on the Philadelphia Homicide Squad. Rush's instinctive understanding of the criminal mind and her singular passion for uncovering the truth makes her the perfect fit for investigating cold cases, yester-crimes that have remained unsolved – some only a few months old, others going back decades. Rush and her team use their wits to take on aging evidence and witnesses with buried secrets, uncovering fresh clues, digging into old wounds and doggedly pursuing the truth. The first episode focuses on Rush finding passions for opening cold cases, and throughout the season gaining more and more passion, making cold cases her main job within the Homicide Unit. For the first 4 episodes, Rush is paired up with Chris Lassing (Justin Chambers), who left after episode 4 because of health reasons. Justin Chambers who played Lassing left the show to star as Alex Karev in ABC's hit drama show ''Grey's Anatomy''. Replacing him, in episode 6 was Scotty Valens (Danny Pino), who continued with the character throughout the series. Alongside them is Will Jeffries (Thom Barry), a long-time detective, Nick Vera (Jeremy Ratchford), a rough around the edges cop, and Lieutenant John Stillman (John Finn), a gentle yet caring boss who always plays by the rules. Recurring in this season, starting from episode 6 is Josh Hopkins, playing ADA Jason Kite, who eventually grew into a relationship for Rush as the season progressed.
