In recent episode of Season 7 (either 11, Bones of Contention, or 14,
A Case of Do or Die, the dead woman was suspected a suicide because
she couldn't tell her fiance she was panicking and wanted to call off
the wedding. The wedding ring was the circular object that represented
her silence, so there are still brief reappearances of the
Shakespearean element that dominated the previous seasons.
