"Broken Home" is the ninth and final episode of the first season of the American medical drama Body of Proof.

In this episode, Megan Hunt (Dana Delany) stops the funeral of Nikki Parkson (Mary Fegreus) after seeing irregularities in her death.

Nikki's mother Lillian (Jill Eikenberry), and siblings Sara (Jo Armeniox) and Bill (Eric Sheffer Stevens), all say that Nikki was suicidal, with evidence at the scene suggesting this, but when Megan and Peter Dunlop (Nicholas Bishop) do an autopsy, the evidence suggests otherwise.

Meanwhile, Megan finds out from daughter Lacey (Mary Mouser) that her ex-husband Todd (Jeffrey Nordling) is in a relationship with her boss Kate Murphy (Jeri Ryan).

The episode received mixed to positive reviews, and was watched by 10.33 million viewers, according to Nielsen ratings, on the Sunday night it aired in the United States.

However, Nikki wanted to switch charities, so Sara killed her to stop her from doing this, with Shane helping her to stage it as suicide, so they could both get the money.

[5][7] Regular cast member John Carroll Lynch who plays Detective Bud Morris, did not appear in this episode, although he was credited.

[5] "Broken Home", along with the eight episodes from Body of Proof's first season, were released on a two-disc DVD set in the United States on September 20, 2011.

[9][11] Body of Proof came fifth in the ratings on Tuesday night, being outperformed by the season finales of CBS's NCIS and of The Good Wife as well as two airings of ABC's Dancing with the Stars.

Christine Orlando of TV Fanatic said that the plot of the episode had a "nice story arc when the cause of death ranged from disease, to suicide, and finally murder".

[13] Orlando understood Megan's reaction to the fact that Kate was dating Todd, calling it "justified", saying it was an "odd position to be in", but summarized; "she'll just have to get over it".
