Sedona called her two years ago but Ortega's husband answered and hung up. Brenda (Kyra Sedgwick) comments it's not unusual for escorts to end up this way. She was rather insensitive given the relationship of the deceased. Pope (JK Simmons) on Brenda telling her Sedona was a prostitute. Hollywood Division brushed her off and she's her mother also. Pope wants to humour her.
Raydor (Mary McDonnell) reviewed the team's statements and has questions for Sanchez (Raymond Cruz). Pope wants Brenda to convince Sanchez to speak with Raydor. It's difficult for Brenda to humour so many, but Pope does it all the time.
Gabriel (Corey Reynolds) gets the evidence from Sedona's hotel. Flynn (Tony Denison) has her purse, a receipt. Tao (Michael Paul Chan) interrupts saying a small purse is called a clutch. Ortega wants to view Sedona's DB and notices there's only one injection site. Morales (Jonathan Del Arco) explains the needle marks are from her use of insulin and she was clean for drugs; she was a first time user.
Sanchez takes Ortega and Buzz (Phillip P Keene) back to the room and finds chips, a ticket from Vegas and a note but no signs of drug use. She had college ID and a GED on the wall. Her daughter was beautiful. Sanchez finds syringes and asks for their serial number to compare to the ones they found. Didn't he have a notebook to write in. The syringes aren't the same.
There was drugs in the needles and someone talked her into using. She was an escort for Dynamic Goods, which Tao explains wouldn't look suspicious on married man's credit cards. She was working for a modelling agency who hire out escorts for the rich. Owned by Linda (Karen Austin). Sanchez indicates to Gabriel not to show Ortega Sedona's photos on the website. The note he found was from a Dimitri.
Brenda wants Fritz (Jon Tenney) to join her in interrogating Linda who is accompanied by her lawyer (Christopher John Fields). Fritz can charge her with interstate prostitution in Vegas and take her into FBI custody. Linda says Sedona was working part time and had a date with a first timer whose name she will find out. Brenda agrees not to use the info to prosecute Linda.
Drew was an addict and threw Sedona out after she made adult films. Bazenr (Adam Hart) was a drug dealer and Sedona was paying Drew to leave her alone.
When they arrive to arrest Drew a shoot out ensues and all the suspects end up dead. Gabriel has to save Brenda from being shot at. She then gets blood on her face from Drew. Provenza (GW Bailey) says "I feel terrible about the fishtank but I'll cry later." Sanchez finds drugs at the scene but they need to find the needles before the police arrive. Raydor arrives at the CS and comments Brenda must be rattled. She didn't discharge her weapon. Raydor hopes this doesn't lead to another lawsuit. She then asks how badly Brenda wants the needles and the ambien, which have the same lot numbers. Taylor says they don't have enough evidence to close the case.
A hit on Sedona's DNA reveals her father was Randolph and he's dead. Sedona was adopted by Ortega and was looking for her biological family.
Sanchez tells Raydor that Brenda offered Turrell the chance to revoke his immunity but he refused. He lived in a bad neighbourhood and he didn't have any problems dropping him off at home. He can't recall what Gabriel said in the car, but he can remember Turrell murdering a man and his grandson.
Spencer (Jonathan Scarfe) has an alibi and made a $50,000 withdrawal, which was the cost of the drugs. Sedona would have inherited $33 million. Taylor asks how they can turn this evidence into a murder charge. Well with Brenda on the case, you can bet she'll find a way to trick, I mean, talk the real killer into confessing.
Sanchez asks Brenda, "Do we have anything to get Turrell killed?" Since either way he would have been killed. The only gaps he can recall are Turrell committing double homicide and Sanchez would do it again and get sued for it too.
Brenda asks Spencer where Sedona's money is. He didn't want her to embarrass the family. Brenda says she'll ask Drew all this and get his story. Pope tells her Drew's dead and she replies she'll just say Sedona's dead husband told her. Sanchez asks how Spencer knew Drew took drugs? He gave Drew ambien to knock her out. Brenda didn't tell Spencer of the OD so how did he know? He replies Sedona didn't deserve the money and he confesses to paying Drew off to kill Sedona. Idiot, he fell for it cos Brenda told him the first one to speak won't get the death penalty. Ortega asks if Sedona asked Spencer for money but she didn't. She feels she let her down cos she gave up on her. Sanchez says she came though for Sedona.
Raydor opens Brenda's drawer of goodies for her. Then asks after she dropped Turrell off what happened, since Sanchez refuses to tell her of Gabriel's conversation. Turrell's family attorney knows of the conversation but Raydor doesn't. Gabriel asked Brenda if they should stick around and she replied no. Raydor: "...that's a lawsuit." How does the attorney know what Brenda said. "Somewhere in your Division, you have a leak."
So starts another saga in this final season which is really hotting up now. Raydor finally gets confirmation of what she suspected all along, that Brenda took Turrell home since she knew his gang would kill him. A bit of a routine case here, since all the real drama was going on with Brenda and Sanchez not answering Raydor directly, of course he wouldn't.
Raydor appears to be on Brenda's side one minute like getting her that attorney, at least telling her to get one and then she blackmails her into letting Sanchez speak to her. Showing she wanted confirmed what she already knew all along about what happened when they dropped him off. Knowing Brenda would turn to her drawer for a choc fix she opens it for her, but Brenda doesn't bite (ha.) Brenda finally tells her what transpired and Raydor informs her of the leak. After Brenda has worked so closely with her team for seven years, it's hard to imagine any one of them could be the mole. Brenda trusts everyone, aside from Taylor, she just doesn't like him, but he doesn't appear to be the leak. Will it turn out to be anyone on her team?
