For Dr. Pierce, these cases provide a welcome change from everyday life as an instructor at the Chicago Lake Michigan University. Since he concomitantly suffers from schizophrenia and hallucinations, it is his assistant Max Lewicki aside. Although this disease is often stressful for him, he often uses hallucinations to solve the crime. Especially his imaginary friend Natalie is doing him of help. Before Moretti, it glosses over the hallucinations first.
