Tao (Michael Paul Chan) finds the Vic called in a suspicious report of a possible break in. Where they find sleeping bags and other items. Including "biological evidence" in the bathroom as Tao calls it. Buzz (Phillip P Keene) thinks that's disgusting. Luke (Scott Michael Foster) left behind his iPod. Baldwin proceeds to give them orders which Provenza objects to. The security guard was a war hero, at which point Brenda (Kyra Sedgwick) arrives and tells them, "...shot down on the streets of Los Angeles. Doesn't seem right at all." Harking back to the entire Tyrell case once more and the shootings of some soldiers, which led to the whole sorry debacle of the lawsuit against her.
Timely mention as this is the episode where the leak is discovered and how Tyrell rears his ugly head again. She thanks everyone for the food, flowers and cards they sent. Brenda needs to think about all that later. Caroline (Jane Carr) bought the iPod and Raydor (Mary McDonnell) asks if Brenda is taking the entire Division out with her. Provenza asks who she wants left behind? Pope speaks with Brenda and admits he made some compromises to keep Major Case, this included having DDA Baldwin here and making Taylor (Robert Gossett) Assistant Chief. He was afraid if he told her about the compromises, she'd leave and be angry at him. Well she already was that.
Raydor has worked out the leak but will need a bit more time. Brenda requests SIS officers, patrol cars, as she needs to return the iPod. Caroline bought it for her grandson, Luke. Who is arrested at the shoe store. Raydor watches everyone in the Tech room. He was with his underage girlfriend Jenna, (Kira Sternbach) don't know about you, but Jenna didn't look underage to me, ha. She had a key. Provenza advises Tao to ask Jenna if he should being her in with or without her father?
Raydor wants Gabriel (Corey Reynolds) to see Pope, with her leaving Brenda to wonder if Gabriel is the leak. Gabriel doesn't know what the meeting is about. Raydor is sorry he must deal with things this way. Turns out his girlfriend, Anne (Shanti Lowry) is the leak. Should have known they'd come up with something like this, especially since it could never have been someone from the squad (re the new show, Major Case). But she was only introduced a few episodes ago and we only saw her once. She was paid for info by Goldman who paid off her student loan. Raydor recalled she gives Gabriel her point of view on everything, including work.
Gabriel shared his doubts with her. Anne joined the church which Taylor says was her plan. Gabriel wasn't subpoenaed like everyone else. As we were shown over several episodes, leaving everyone to wonder why, again thinking he could be the leak, even Sanchez though that. Raydor wants his statement before he explains to Brenda et al.
They need to find where the gun went. Fritz (Jon Tenney) shows up and wants to discuss where why he didn't bring her shoes for her. She should go home if she's uncomfortable. She can't go home yet and even thinks about moving. Her mother isn't at the house, but Fritz tells Brenda she needs to be.
Jenna says her friend lived at the house and she had the key. Provenza refuses to listen to Sanchez about Gabriel being the leak. Raydor understands that people discuss confidential work issues with significant others, Brenda does that all the time. Gabriel waived his right to counsel to speak with Brenda. Gabriel reminds her he spoke to her about Tyrell. He was upset that day, even Sanchez will remember. Brenda wanted him to come to her.
We knew Gabriel always had strong feelings as to how Brenda ran things and wasn't always happy, shown by the times he went behind her back to Pope, etc, to complain about her methods. Also I said before a few episodes ago, that Gabriel could be a likely suspect in being the mole since he has a strong relationship with Brenda, being one of the first ones to accept her when she arrived in season 1. Then I changed my mind for the very same reason, he would have been too obvious.
Gabriel tells the others and how he mentioned other occasions of dissatisfaction too. Where he felt the spirit of the law wasn't perfectly upheld. He wasn't the leak but he was the source, as Flynn tells him. Provenza wants Flynn to let Gabriel finish. Provenza, Taylor, Tao, Buzz all accept his apology, and so does Flynn reluctantly, then tells him he should transfer. Sanchez doesn't even acknowledge him.
The gun is found at Jenna's house and Pope says she can claim self defence. DDA Baldwin needs two confessions. Bateman (Matt Malloy) doesn't answer any questions. Jenna told him Danny tried to rape her. Which was a lie, so he shot him. Brenda tells Jenna about mitigating circumstances and she was protecting Luke. She says he was holding the gun in his right hand. Brenda adds the State of California will treat her like an adult, which she doesn't get. She says "cool." Flynn adds "way cool."
Gabriel resigns. Brenda doesn't want him to quit but he says Tyrell ruined his life. Brenda knew Gabriel was upset and apologizes. She ignores people she cares about and she's responsible for it all. Brenda goes home with Fritz. She needs a minute with her mother, but she's not here. Brenda meaning she ignored her mother and now she's gone. She did the same thing to Gabriel too. Also does that to Fritz a lot.
Brenda: " Last time I saw mama, she asked me if I had a minute and I didn't have time just then. And now I'm the one who could really use a minute...and she has no time at all." One more episode to go...
