As these change, so does his relationship with "Jane Doe."
- Twenty-four year old Kezia earns about $30,000 a year as a makeup artist, but is currently on stress leave, reducing her annual pay to about $12,000. That stress is largely the result of working in a mall and being constantly surrounded by temptation. Being in the industry, she is aware of all the latest trends, which she follows religiously and will spend whatever to be part of that trend. As Kezia is aware of those trends, her friends live vicariously through her. Being an only child, her single mother, Sherrie, admits she spoiled her. By the time Sherrie tried to teach Kezia proper money management, it was already "too late" as Kezia was entrenched in her self-indulgences at whatever cost. Kezia's boyfriend Chris knows about her overspending, but she hides the extent from him. Chris is the exact opposite in terms of spending than Kezia, but he is stuck paying for many of her wants as opposed to his own. Kezia also sponges off her Great Aunt May, from who she borrowed a car but never gave back, and who paid her student loans. Kezia ignores money issues, throwing out her bills when they arrive in the mail. Most of her debt is owed to Chris, Sherrie or Aunt May, all three who may end up being as big a challenge as Kezia.
- The killer: Derek Caster. The victim: London Montgomery, the grown daughter of wealthy industrialist, Neville Montgomery. Six months out of drug rehab and seemingly clean during that time, London is found dead from being poisoned on what was the night of her birthday party joint drug rehab facility fundraiser. Betty suspects that the drug was purposefully given to London as what she believed was cocaine. Oscar recuses himself from the case when he learns that the last person to text London before she died was his father, Franco Vega, who has a thing for younger women like London. As such, Franco becomes a prime suspect. Because of the need for extra human resources on the case, Boyd asks Angie if she is willing to be temporarily placed back in Homicide from her desk job in Recruiting which she requested six months ago following Oscar killing to protect her, and her and Mark's ten year secret coming to a head. The desk job has not rejuvenated Angie as she had hoped, and as such she is itching to get back to Homicide permanently. The detectives learn that London was working through a twelve step program, and was on step nine - making amends - with one person who did not accept her apology probably the killer. Working through the evidence and learning the nature of Franco and London's relationship, they learn that London's death is indirectly related to Neville's business dealings, which they suspect will play a major role in their future work based on the outcome of this case.
- The victim: Sienna, a prostitute who used her life coaching company as a front. The killer: Stephanie Carson, a jealous wife and controlling mother who works as an investment advisor purportedly earning seven figures. Sienna's dead body is found in the bathroom of her "office" i.e. a downtown condo, she injected with a fatal dose of pentobarbital through the neck, and the word "SLUT" written on her forehead in lipstick. Besides Sienna's work as a prostitute and the need to interview her clients, most specifically those that were scheduled the day of and after her death, the detectives will learn that she was also a mild-mannered suburban housewife named Erica Grey, her husband, Doug Grey, who, with Erica, agreed that after their marriage she would continue hooking, with set boundaries. As Sienna's client list comes up with dead ends, the detectives begin to suspect that Erica's suburban housewife life, which includes being heavily involved in her daughter Jayda's gymnastics club, combined with her prostitution may be the reason for her death i.e. that she may have been involved with one of the suburban husbands. When they discover Stephanie as the killer, they will find that the motive has more to do with Stephanie's core as a person than with Erica/Sienna's business. Meanwhile, Angie and Oscar are investigating Derek Caster's murder, they believing that Neville Montgomery had something to do with it despite Caster's remand cell-mate, Mason Garvey, admitting to the murder. And Angie's return to Homicide leads to a change in dynamics with her colleagues, especially with Brian, who has grown up during the six months she was away.
- The victim: Geoff Armstrong, a civic urban planner and a part-time scuba diving instructor. The killer: Robin Gould, an architect, who works for the high powered firm run by Isaac Griffin, who was up until two days ago also her fiancé as she called off the engagement due to what she told him were their diverging lives. The Homicide detectives, before learning of Geoff's death, have another homicide investigation... Robin's. Her blood splattered car is discovered in a remote area, no body to be found anywhere nearby. In their search for Robin and what they assume is her dead body, they question Isaac, who along with Robin, had been dealing with obtaining a variance from the city for a high profile new building, that process which seemed not to be going well and which Geoff is handling for the city. It is when the detectives check on Isaac's alibi - Geoff - for the time of Robin's disappearance that they learn of Geoff's death from a scuba diving accident. But they will learn that urban planning and architecture have closer ties beyond the professional world, such as in the academic world. Meanwhile, Angie and Oscar have to go through weapons re-certification. Beyond not shooting accurately, Oscar is facing some issues which may be more serious than he imagines. And Angie gets more ensconced with the lives of the Montgomerys, first when she learns that Neville has gone through official channels to complain about her causing a ruckus at London's funeral by returning the diamond tennis bracelet Neville gave her, and second when she and Maria have on-going casual and not so casual conversations about if the Montgomerys are suspected of anything, mostly around Derek Caster's murder.
- The victim: Peter Glass, an employee for Fibersec, a digital security consulting firm. He is survived by a wife, full-time homemaker Olivia Glass, and a sixteen year old daughter, Sophie Glass. The killer: Wayne Hobbs, a general contractor, one of whose latest jobs was to build a backyard deck for the Glasses. Peter is eventually identified as the murder victim through DNA of his dismembered body parts strewn throughout various locations in the city. In interviewing those that knew Peter, the Homicide detectives find that he was considered an anti-social man, who seemed to control every aspect of Olivia and Sophie's lives. Regardless, Olivia and Sophie still seemed to love him yet be somewhat scared of him at the same time. They also find that Peter had a relatively small digital footprint himself. The murder investigation turns into a concurrent kidnapping investigation when they find that Wayne has abducted Sophie. In searching through Wayne's belongings, the Homicide detectives find that Wayne has a penchant for girls exactly Sophie's type. In wading through the evidence, Angie knows that Wayne's penchant is a bit narrower than just Sophie's "type", the reason why Wayne killed Peter. Meanwhile, Angie continues on her solo crusade in the Derek Caster murder and finding the connection to Neville Montgomery. And Mark is itching to get out from behind his desk more often, which if it is to happen would require some negotiation with Boyd.
- The killer: florist Ella Rollins. The victim: Lee Ward. Lee's dead body is one of two at an attempted robbery of an armored security truck, the primary players being two robbers and two security guards. The primary surviving eyewitness, Blair Morton, one of the two security guards who happens to be Ella's husband, describes the events as follows. After returning from a coffee run, his partner, Tony Lamot, the other victim, was shot in the back from a distance with what is later identified as specialty armor piercing bullets. As Blair rushed to Tony's side to administer CPR, which is against protocol, the second gunman, Lee but who is originally listed as a John Doe, approached and was ready to shoot him. What saved Blair was that Lee just dropped dead, from what Betty is later able to identify as a massive overdose of digoxin, a prescription medication the detectives will later learn Lee was taking. The situation with Lee led to the first gunman escaping in a getaway car. Because of the specifics of the robbery, Oscar believes that Blair may have been an inside person involved in the robbery gone wrong. A break occurs in the case when they are able to locate who they believe is the first gunman, Tim Kelly. The issues in Tim's involvement and tying him back to Lee and to Blair and then Ella are that all the evidence is circumstantial, Blair and Ella do not admit to ever having seen Tim before, and a strong bond exists between Blair and Ella, which the detectives can see and have to try to use against them. At the end of it all, Betty is particularly affected by this case. Meanwhile, Angie and Oscar's investigation into Neville Montgomery hits an official roadblock. And Oscar awaits the results of tests to see what is going on with his vision.
- The victim: pastry chef Chelsea Richmond. The killer: pilot Brad Calgrove, a first officer for his airline. He is engaged to wealthy art gallery owner Nicole Gaynor who was recently mugged. Chelsea had recently moved from Florida to Vancouver, her cocktail dress clad dead body found frozen in the freezer in her rented house. She was knocked unconscious before being frozen. Her body is found by her absentee landlady, as Chelsea was supposed to be out of the house two weeks ago. Because of the freezing, Betty cannot pinpoint how long she has been dead, it being anywhere from forty-eight hours to six months. As such, the detectives have to work backwards to determine when she died. They will learn that Chelsea was let go two months ago from from her latest job at a casual chain restaurant, where her perfection did not mesh with the style of the restaurant itself. Her move to this job was surprising as she came from a more lucrative high end restaurant job in Florida, and had a similar lucrative high end restaurant job offer in New York, but decided on the Vancouver job. The detectives will have to discover the reason for Chelsea's move to discover the motive and Brad as the killer. Meanwhile, Angie hitting what she sees as a dead end in tying Neville Montgomery to Derek Caster's murder places her at loggerheads with Maria. And Oscar makes some professional and personal decisions based partly on his medical diagnosis. Angie can see that something is happening in Oscar's life, but doesn't know what.
- The victim: street artist Perry Doyle. The killer: fourteen year old Wesley Hillridge, an aspiring street artist himself. To do his art, Wes sneaks out of the house at night. His newly remarried mother, Nina Hillridge, overcompensates in providing as much support to Wes as she feels she can and needs to in light of Wes and her new controlling husband, Lance, clashing often over Wes' art activities, legal and illegal. The dead body, initially listed as a John Doe, is found hanging by a rope over the side of an overpass, the thought being that he was involved in a hit and run with a truck as he was just about to start an art piece on the side of the overpass. Based on the art in question, the scuttlebutt on the street is that the artist in question is Contagion, one of the most renowned street artists in these parts but who chooses to remain anonymous and thus by definition is also a loner. Angie and Oscar are eventually able to identify the dead body as Perry Doyle after Brian learns that Contagion had a contract with the city through an art agent for that piece on the overpass. Besides Contagion selling out to commercialism, Angie and Oscar believe there are many contradictions to what looks to be Perry/Contagion's joint story. They will eventually find that it is this contradiction combined with an incident at Wes' home that led to Perry's death. Meanwhile, Angie and Oscar believe they have a strong lead tying Neville Montgomery to Derek Caster's murder. They just need Mark's approval to investigate further. And Betty is putting up a stoic front following her attack, but those around her can see that she is not all right emotionally from that incident.
- The killer: Ashley Kirkwell, the former owner/operator of Purgatory, a strip club which has now been renamed the Blu Lounge. The victim: Dr. Garrison Osgood, a plastic surgeon with his own private clinic in partnership with Dr. Lucy Everhill. When Angie, Brian and Oscar first encounter Dr. Osgood, he is still alive in the clinic, the chief suspect in Dr. Everhill's murder, she on one of the operating room tables slashed to death. However, Dr. Osgood spouts off a cryptic sounding message before he quickly crumples to the floor and dies in front of Angie and Brian's eyes. Despite suspecting that the two business partners were having an affair hence part of the reason they were in the clinic in their evening attire with champagne and a cigar late at night, the doctors' assistant, Paul Murphy, who found Dr. Everhill, tells the detectives that the doctors didn't socialize outside of the office. Dr. Everhill's husband confirms that there was tension between the two doctors of a legal nature. Betty is later able to confirm that both doctors' deaths were from a PCP overdose, the chemical compound which was found doused in the cigar in the operating room, smoking a cigar which was Dr. Osgood's Friday night ritual. As such, the thought is that Dr. Everhill was collateral damage in Dr. Osgood's murder. The detectives also find some somewhat contradictory issues in Dr. Osgood's past. They have to find the nature of what seems to be more than just an above board professional association Osgood had with his lawyer Charles Castella and tie it back to these contradictions to discover Ashley as the killer and the motive for murder. By the end, Oscar begins to question his professional judgment. Meanwhile, Angie takes her concern that she believes she is being followed by someone to Mark. And Neville and Guenther have narrowed down the source of the company leak to one of two people: Maria or Robert.
- As the household money manager, Tony admits that he has made a lot of mistakes in managing his, his wife Trish and their three children's lives. Much of their money has gone toward his lifelong obsession with low rider cars, he having stopped counting how many cars he's owned in his life when he hit number eighty-five. His parents bailed them out financially once paying off their then $36,000 consumer debt, which required them to re-mortgage their house, on the promise that Tony and Trish would change their ways. But things did not change, their consumer debt having spiraled out of control to a total of $78,000 including what they owe Tony's parents. However, Trish is also not totally blameless. She has not been assertive enough in their relationship to tell Tony to stop with the cars. She has the attitude that Tony is and should be the major breadwinner. While he works sixty hour weeks leaving him little time or energy to do anything else besides play with his cars, she seems to have settled for a low paying job. They moved into a townhouse two years ago, which was supposed to solve their emotional problems. It has only exacerbated them as Trish hates the run down place, which needs many repairs. These issues in combination lead to Trish using spending on herself as therapy, this spending which is much higher than either she or Tony believes it is. Their debt has also led to not being able to do things for their kids, and has broken their relationship with Tony's parents. To get them to a healthier place in their lives beyond them stopping the out of control spending, Gail has some individual challenges for them. Trish has to step up to the income plate and earn more money, and learn how to be more assertive so that she can be an equal in their relationship. Tony has to learn how to manage their money better by lowering their current credit interest rates, and to assess and actually accomplish some repairs in the townhouse. But their most difficult challenge may be the one they have to do together: fix their relationship with Tony's parents by owning up to their mistakes since the bail-out and being more open about what they are doing to address the financial problem.
- Thirty-seven year old Krista, a corporate trainer with a $47,000 per annum income, unabashedly admits she's a princess, spending all her money on the single party girl lifestyle. The problem is, she's not single. Meet Ryan, Krista's somewhat devoted husband, who's happy when she's happy, but isn't so happy when he doesn't have any money because she's spent it all. She hides most of her shopping from Ryan, who does eventually find out since he has to pay the bills. Ryan admits that Krista is a narcissist, never passing a mirror without checking herself out. Her spending and deceit led to a past trial separation. Krista's past debt is consolidated into one loan, which includes their house, but Ryan is unaware of Krista's current credit card debt, which if he knew would be the third and final strike in their marriage for him. In total, her consumer debt is in the vicinity of $60,000. Gail convince Kyle to give Krista the six weeks of this process, after which he can do as he pleases. Will Gail's advice and challenges save this marriage? Some loops are thrown into the process along the way, which do not make the answer any easier.
- The victim: Rick Wyatt, an insurance adjuster. The killer: Lawrence Frampton, a collections agent who is mourning the recent death of his wife, Helen Frampton, from complications from COPD. Rick's dead body is found behind the wheel of his car in the parking lot at his workplace, his hands handcuffed together around the steering wheel and a duct tape fastened plastic bag over his head, asphyxiation the cause of death. The detectives initially find that Rick is generally well liked by his colleagues, but that the more they delve into his life that he was involved in some subversive behavior, one issue dealing with jealousy against anyone who paid attention to his wife, Lisa Wyatt, who the detectives cannot seem to locate. Evidence seems to indicate that she has recently left him, placing her on the suspect list. Although Angie is eventually able to tie evidence at the crime scene to Lawrence as well as other issues between the Wyatts and Framptons, the case becomes just as much about the missing Lisa. With the Neville Montgomery issue, Angie believes based on recent goings-on and what she is able to find from Maria's past that Maria is not as innocent as she first appeared. Mark has a lunch meeting with Deputy Chief Halford, which, although not directly discussed, seems to be all about Angie's "harassment" of Neville. And Oscar makes some further decisions about his life based on updated news regarding his illness.
- The victim: Maria Snow. The killer: Neville Montgomery. Two eyewitnesses saw Maria's body crashing atop a car parked on the street, she apparently falling from the seventh floor of the adjacent heritage building, recently purchased by Neville. Everything is consistent with the fall being the cause of death. The homicide detectives are certain that Neville is behind Maria's death, despite they working leads pursuing Robert as the murderer. They see it tied into Neville's harassment of Angie through his goon breaking into her home, and her beloved car being blown up in front of her eyes. That belief is only solidified by Deputy Chief Halford placing Mark in charge of the investigation. With Mark in charge, the question concerning him is if he will do anything to cross Halford, which in turn could jeopardize what looks to be his upward trajectory in the force. To tie the murder back to Neville, the detectives are going to have to find out exactly what Maria's game plan was, namely why she sold out Robert to accept the Vice-President job under Neville if she earlier wanted Angie to help her prove that Neville was involved in Derek Caster's murder. This case proves more difficult for Oscar, Angie, and Betty due to their thoughts being on Oscar's health and his imminent surgery, the prognosis from which is uncertain.
- The killer: brew-master Joe Hillis, who is just about to open a craft brewery. The victim: tarot card reader Ginelle Mercier. Her mummified body is found in the wall of a for sale warehouse, which was being renovated for suspected asbestos. Because of the environment of the warehouse, Ginelle, who was placed there postmortem, could have been killed as recently as ten weeks ago. The detectives have to find who would have last had contact with her, including among her colleagues, friends and clients, the latter from who they learn that she was considered the best in the business. They learn from others who viewed her from an outsider's perspective that she was considered "flaky". The detectives' search for electronic information is difficult as they also learn she felt many forms of electronics interfered with psychic energy. Stumbling on her hard copy contact list, the detectives find that a common name between her friends, clients and those that had access to the warehouse is Hillis, Elizabeth Hillis who considered herself a client and close friend, and Joe Hillis who viewed the warehouse as a possible location for his new business. But the detectives' initial assessment of the situation is not quite reality. Meanwhile, Oscar makes some further professional and personal decisions based on his disease and what he learns may be a misdiagnosis. And Angie and Maria face some tough questions about Janet Wong's arrest and how well Maria's association to Angie respectively.
- The killer: social worker Charlie Monahan. The victim: Ken Leung, the deputy leader of the ruthless Golden Tiger Triad, the largest criminal organization in the city. The triad makes money in part through their illegal mah jong gambling den. Leung's bullet ridden dead body is discovered in his home, the murder weapon on the scene. His is only one of three concurrent homicides, Angie, Oscar and Brian each taking the lead on one of the three. The other two are Dr. Ronald Hanlon DDS, whose wife was away in Seattle receiving fertility treatments at the time of his death, and Andrew Gorman, a former juvenile delinquent who, according to his mother, was turning his life around. In the Leung murder, the detectives interview among others: Ken's brother, George Leung, the head of the triad who isn't speaking but who they know did not commit the murder; Teri Leung, Ken's estranged ex-wife who blames Ken for orchestrating their daughter being sent into foster care, the rationale being that if Ken could not have custody, neither would Teri; and Jessie Simon, one of the mah jong regulars who is in the hospital beaten up by Ken and his men for debts unpaid. Eventually, Betty is able to tie all three homicides together forensically, Angie further piecing together the probable rationale for Hanlon and Gorman's murders. That common bond and information from Jessie about "the tourist" at one of the mah jong games lead the detectives to Charlie. Although Charlie does explain his motive for killing Ken, he does not divulge the full extent of his plan. Meanwhile, Angie has so far not talked to threat assessment, despite Mark setting up the appointment for her. Her complacency in the matter may be short-lived.
- The victim: Nika Reid, an assistant to renowned but sleazy photographer Eric Sharpe, who likes to party hard with his young female models and staff, most who will do whatever he says to gain his influence to get ahead in the business. The killer: Stacy Lawford, who works at a local online gossip blog called Wicked City, which specializes in salacious local stories. Stacy also happens to be Nika's roommate and best friend. Eric discovered Nika's dead body in bed with him when he woke up after a boisterous late night party at his live/work studio. The detectives believe Eric is the person who stabbed Nika to death as he seems to be doing whatever required to protect himself, including cleaning himself up and calling a lawyer even before calling 911. When Eric finally decides to talk, he vows that he remembers nothing between the time the cops came by the previous evening on noise complaints to shut the party down to when he woke to find Nika already dead beside him. Angie, the lead on the case, eventually doesn't believe Eric to be the killer based on conflicting evidence and a move by Eric himself to defend himself while only making his situation look even worse to the untrained eye. Stacy inserts herself into the story, covering it for Wicked City, her boss who believes her inside knowledge as Nika's friend and someone who was at Eric's party adds an extra level of salaciousness he craves for the blog. Stacy's vehemence at Eric being the killer raises suspicions in Angie, who has to try and figure out why Stacy would want to kill her friend. Meanwhile, Internal Affairs has issued requests for meetings with Oscar, Mark and Brian, each who has a different perspective of how far he will go to protect Angie. Also at stake is Maria's life, she who would be in danger if news got out about how she fostered the relationship with Angie to look into Neville's possible connection to Derek Caster's murder.
- The victim: Avery Bowman, the wife of Russell Bowman, the famed starting quarterback for the BC Furies, and head of Russell's charitable organization. The killer: Courtney Meisenger, the owner/operator of a suburban bakery/catering business, with Russell's charity one of her recent clients. Angie is acting staff sergeant on this case while Oscar is away in court. Avery's dead body is discovered thrown from her vehicle following a seeming single vehicle traffic accident along a remote road. However, Betty discovers that she didn't die from injuries from the accident itself, but rather from anaphylactic shock from a peanut allergy, peanut oil which is found smeared onto parts of her body. In checking Avery's cell phone records and in interviews with people on that cell phone list and those close to her, the detectives find that Avery's latest actions were in a effort to hide something she did or was about to do, with Kennecki believing what she was hiding was an affair. But when Betty discovers something fundamental about Avery in her being, the nature of the case changes from trying to find the killer directly to trying to discover issues from Avery's deep past from before she met Russell, that time of which Russell knows little. Through it all, Angie, Brian and Betty all still have problems with Kennecki as a detective. However, he may show some small signs - very small - that he has potential as a homicide detective.
- The victim: Police Constable Greg Schultz. The killer: stand-up comic and Greg's older brother Murray Schultz. Greg's death is the first case for Oscar following his recovery and promotion to staff sergeant, Brian in his new position as Angie's partner, and the new homicide detective Mitch Kennecki, an overly cocky know-it-all because he is a legacy. Greg's death is initially deemed a suicide based on eyewitness statements, which include a selfie video with Greg in complete uniform in the background just before he stepped by the water and shot himself in the head. However, no one is able to identify Greg conclusively as the officer in question. Also despite the eyewitnesses, Greg's body and firearm, which was originally his father's, are not recovered from the water for several hours. But Oscar wants to be overly cautious before officially announcing that it is a suicide, and despite the pressure placed on him by new Police Chief Wells. Oscar has good reason to be cautious as Angie believes the person in the selfie video is indeed not Greg, but someone dressed to look like Greg, with his body dumped in the water probably several hours earlier. The case may be hindered by Mitch wanting to make a good impression on the Police Chief, he implicating Lori Schultz, Greg's widow, as the murderer. But the other homicide detectives begin to focus on Greg's estranged brother Murray, the motive for the murder much more complex than the reason for their estrangement.
- The victim: Chris Mancuso, an environmental consultant. The killer: Logan Tenwick, a research scientist for Turner, a biomedical firm for which Chris had been hired to do an environmental assessment for the location of its new research facility. Logan has been working on what he considers the definitive and groundbreaking work on eradicating breast cancer. It is through Chris' consulting work for Turner that he met who would become his girlfriend, Kierra Graff, Logan's assistant. Chris' dead body is found first thing in the morning inside a sensory deprivation tank at a day spa, using such a tank which was his routine following his many business trips, the Chilean rainforest from which he just returned the night before. This case is the first since Oscar kicked Kennecki off of Homicide, and replaced him with Detective Paula Mazur, an efficient yet somewhat cold loner of a person who Angie and Brian refer to as the "anti-Kennecki". The case takes a deadly turn when Betty not only discovers that Chris died from asphyxiation by his tank being flooded with chloromine, but that he still has an active but unknown pathogen in his system, meaning the morgue being locked down. The guess is that he picked up the deadly virus in Chile. As such, the team, who has one member hit by the virus which again could have deadly consequences for that person, has to locate the killer as quickly as possible, they suspect he/she having been infected by Chris and now being the unsuspecting carrier of the virus infecting innocent people in his/her path. The virus also being unknown in nature adds an extra level of concern, as Betty knows the CDC can only identify it if a victim comes forward who knows when he or she would have been infected, which is difficult without knowing who is the killer is passing it along.
- The killer: Hank Novak, the owner/manager of the Chieftain, a financially troubled live music venue/bar in Squamish. The victim: Vince Hutton, an ex-con just released from twenty years behind bars for drug smuggling, Hank's old friend from high school, and most recently the Chieftain's doorman. Vince's dead body is found outside in a remote area of Squamish, he killed by blunt force trauma to the head, the murder weapon some unknown metal object of a small roundish nature. The detectives know that Vince was killed elsewhere by the lack of blood at the crime scene. From Vince's new girlfriend, the detectives also know that Vince recently came into some money, more than a doorman would make, and in the process, in an unfortunate way for Angie, stumble upon another active investigation on the movement of stolen counterfeit goods. The person under investigation in that case, Levi Foster, becomes a primary suspect as Vince's murderer. But to discover the true motive for the murder, they will have to look at Hank's daughter, Sadie Novak, who has just been accepted to college in Chicago. Through the investigation, Angie, Paula and Brian all deal with an aspect of their respective love lives, Brian's which indirectly involves Oscar out of circumstance.
- The victim: Dawn Richards, a member of the Frenemies in the women's professional roller derby league. The killer: psychiatrist Dr. Henry Price. This case starts off unusually when Dr. Price comes into the police station to report to Oscar that he believes one of his patients, Peter Carver, is displaying homicidal tendencies, the description provided by Price about what Carver would do matching Dawn's case. A connection is made between Carver and Dawn, he who was one of her biggest fans. Dawn is found dead by her roommate and teammate Stacey Edmonds in her bedroom one morning with Dawn having multiple stab wounds by scissors to the neck. After she and Angie interview Stacey, Paula, without disclosing the full reason, has reason to believe Stacey is the murderer. When Oscar points the detectives in Carver's direction, Betty discovers a string of pearls in Dawn's throat. It is then that Paula provides full disclosure of why she had believed Stacey to be the killer: the murder mimics down to the string of pearls a case on which she worked three years ago of murdered Brita Morris, where her testimony put away Brita's roommate, Miranda Hurst, whose story is that she was forced to watch the real unknown male murderer kill Brita. Miranda, who to this day professes her innocence, is still in prison for Brita's murder. When all evidence points to Carver being Dawn's murderer, Paula does whatever she can to tie Carver to Miranda as she was and is certain that Miranda still did kill Brita, with Carver now looking in her mind to be an accomplice. When questioned, Carver obviously does display issues of mental disturbance of the nature described by Dr. Price. But when Brian discovers some evidence that points away from Carver, the detectives look to Dr. Price, the person who first pointed them in Carver's direction. They have to find out how Price would have known about the nature of Brita's death to tie him to Dawn's murder, with an outstanding question being of who really did kill Brita, the answer to which could affect Paula's standing in her job.
- The killer: Cindy Vernon, a popular music teacher at a prestigious music conservatory, and the girlfriend of the conservatory's head, Dean Teller. The victim: Tracy Blaine, the wife of Steven Blaine, who owns his own natural juice company, which is going through problems if only because of a class action lawsuit against it the result of tainted juice which led to the deaths of three people. Tracy's dead body is found in Central Park, her body impaled by a live tree branch. Betty rules that the death could not have been accidental, and that Tracy was pushed onto the branch. The nature of the case takes on some urgency when the detectives learn that Tracy was at the park with her stepson, Owen Blaine, who is now missing. The jogger that found the body is able to confirm Owen's presence at the park and that he willingly left with another woman (who indeed is Cindy). So first and foremost, they have to find out what happened to Owen, before he becomes another statistic in an abducted child killed within the first twenty-four hours. The detectives also learn that Tracy wrote a popular blog, she detailing the goings-on in her life, lately focusing on dealing with Owen's sudden and yet undiagnosed illness, which has resulted in such symptoms as vomiting and seizures, largely without Steven, who has often been out of town dealing with business concerns. The detectives feel that the blog may be the key to finding the abductor/killer, as the blog is an open book to Tracy and Owen's movements. Through the case, Angie and Paula bond over a personal issue through which Paula is going. And Brian learns of some unsettling news concerning the case against Tim Kelly, the person charged with sexually assaulting Betty in the morgue. With this news, Brian tries to help his friend in any way he can.

- The victim: Dave Briggs, Jr., a brilliant but temperamental and poor video game designer, whose control over the crowd-source funded current video game project on which he is working, that control which has drawn out the process for two years, irks his colleagues on the project. The killer: James Lennathan, an antiques hunter, who owns an antique shop with his personal and professional partner, Heather, and who is an alcoholic who apparently has control over his drinking. The detectives are called in on a case without a body when there is a massive pool of human blood found in the studio where much of the work on the game is happening, with a small human bone chip among the blood. The detectives know that a murder did occur as the victim, who is assumed to be Dave, was wearing a motion capture body suit with the resulting screen capture showing whoever was wearing the suit being decapitated at the site where the blood is located. Betty is able to determine that the blood and bone do belong to Dave. Dave's colleagues mention that Dave was becoming paranoid, believing that someone was following him. The detectives find, in searching Dave's sparse apartment, that he was preoccupied by his father, Dave Briggs, Sr., a former local investigative reporter, having abandoned the family years earlier. The detectives are able to confirm by a former colleague of Sr.'s that Jr. was convinced that Sr. did not desert them but was murdered probably for a story on which he was working, and Jr. was trying to find evidence of such. That evidence may provide the detectives with the identity and motive for Jr.'s murder. A person assisting on this case is Stoker, whose return to England is delayed as he has been made temporary Interpol liaison until a permanent person is appointed. His stay in Vancouver makes he and Angie examine the state of their relationship. And Betty is preparing her testimony for the Tim Kelly case. Brian learns from Oscar that the prosecutor has decided not to use the testimony of the criminal that Brian provided, basically letting Brian off the hook for what was his illegal action in helping Betty. What Oscar does not tell Brian is that he was the one who made the decision, not the prosecutor. They will all soon find out if Betty's testimony alone is enough for a conviction.
- The victim: Chloe Wilson. The killer: Jessica Wilson, her older sister. Chloe's "Jane Doe" dead body is found in a house under construction, she killed by several shots by a nail gun. She is eventually identified by one of the home subcontractors, Cam Riley, her boyfriend of three months, the two who were supposed to rendezvous at the house to test out the just installed amazing bathtub the evening before, with Cam needing to cancel their date. It is then that the detectives discover the Wilsons' story... Twenty years ago, Ava Wilson, Chloe and Jessica's mother, was estranged from her husband, Jeremy Sheridan, the children's father. Three year old Chloe was abducted by her father. Jessica, then an adolescent, witnessed the incident, and still feels guilty for not having been able to save her sister. Ava is now close to death, she at stage IV cirrhosis of the liver, with Jessica dedicating her life as her caregiver. Jessica decided once again, after many failed attempts, to hire a private detective to locate Chloe to reunite the family before Ava's imminent passing. This private detective, Ian Mitchell, was able to locate Chloe and reunite the family as per his client Jessica's wishes. Apparently, Chloe was able to escape from her father when she was fifteen, but had never tried to locate her mother or sister as her father long ago told her they were dead. Despite outward harmony displayed by Ava and Jessica toward Chloe, the detectives discover that Ava was providing large sums of money to Chloe without telling Jessica, who may have felt that Chloe was now manipulating Ava in order to receive the bulk of the inheritance. This information, along with an important aspect of a now grown up Chloe's being, places Jessica at the top of the suspect list. However, the rationale for the killing is a little more complicated. Meanwhile, Chief Wells has requested Internal Affairs in the form of Sgt. Saunders to investigate Oscar's interference in the Tim Kelly case, Oscar's move which was all in an effort to protect Brian.

- The victim: Trent McAllister, the owner of International Bailiff Services, a company that specializes in high end repossessions. His mangled dead body is found next to a helicopter he was probably repossessing, he killed by being caught in the helicopter's moving rear rotor. The killer: Lexi Moore, the young woman who three years earlier killed Judge Natalie Rodman and mechanic Mark Duff, the two associated cases still unsolved. The Metro Vancouver Homicide Department investigating the case is comprised of Sergeant Gavin Saunders, and Detectives Paula Mazur and Mitch Kennecki. Some stray cat hairs at the crime scene tie this case back to that of Judge Rodman's. As such, those who worked on Judge Rodman's investigation are called back into service for this case, those being Sergeant Brian Lucas with Internal Affairs, and Paris-based Interpol Agent Angie Flynn. This case is a bittersweet reunion for Angie with Oscar, as besides Oscar's want for Angie to return to Vancouver permanently to work for him as an investigator for his company called Tabula Rasa which helps those unfairly convicted, he represents Duncan and Bally Anderson, two people of interest in this case as McAllister's estranged son-in-law and daughter. That estrangement is due to McAllister successfully getting Duncan charged and convicted of sexual interference eighteen years ago when Duncan was nineteen and Bally sixteen, despite the fact of the closeness of Duncan and Bally's ages and their relationship being consensual. That conviction still haunts them to this day, and also affects their son Thomas Anderson as the offspring of a convicted child sexual molester, for which he is constantly taunted. This case adds a complication to Duncan and Bally's lives as they long told Thomas that his maternal grandfather was dead, not wanting him to know that he was the cause of Duncan and therefore by association their family's problems. Thomas, an aspiring on-air radio DJ, finding out about the role his grandfather played in his family's problems and divulging that to his radio station mentor, Shawn Bailey, and Shawn's girlfriend Lexi may provide the link for those investigating the case. The ultimate questions become how determined Lexi is to protect herself as the perpetrator of these crimes, and how determined Angie is to solve especially Judge Rodman's murder this second time around, Angie who has a limited amount of time before she needs to head back to her current Interpol job in Paris.
