- Two suspicious fires are investigated. The first is a car fire which killed the car's occupant. And the second is on the exterior of Kosmo's house, the fire which took place while she was at home. Evidence indicates the two were set by the same person. Sue is rushed to hospital on a possible OD. As with all of Curtis' cases, the murder charges against Sue are going to be stayed of which she is unaware, leading to her taking an extraordinary measure while in the hospital. In preparation for the announcement of his candidacy for mayor, Da Vinci brings his team together to discuss his platform, including the controversial issues of expanding the number of safe injection sites and creating a red light district. However some leaked news indicates that there is a mole in Da Vinci's team working in part for his political foe and possible mayoral candidate, the acting mayor Joyce Simkins. Da Vinci uses this mole for his own purposes. He also learns he has an ally in the opposing camp. Leary accuses Simms of knowing and covering up that Tuan was behind Summers' death. Chick and Carter monitor Tuan's movement, thinking he is being aided by Simms to flee to the States while Leary tries to secure an arrest warrant to nab him before he flees. Leary receives pressure from Jacobs and Klotchko to do something he doesn't want to do in this case. What Leary decides to do is based on where he sees his professional future. And the perpetrator of a slew of bank robberies is found dead, the perpetrator well-known to those in the Police Department.—Huggo
- The episode begins with a montage of street workers in an industrial part of the city, maps of Vancouver, and overhead shots of the city. Bob Kelly and Da Vinci are in Chinatown where they talk with Civic Alliance representatives about Da Vincis plans for the red light district. Sandra Ferlingher points out that this is very valuable as the last available urban industrial land. She reminds Da Vinci that developers rule this town. Angie is at home and her house is set on fire by a man who looks like it could be Curtis. Leary has discovered that Simms is working with Vin Tuan, Lilas brother. Simms tells Tuan to get to Seattle ASAP but Leary arrests him just as he leaves port with the help of the RCMP. Da Vinci attends the scene of a car fire where a man has burnt to death. Angie manages to get her fire put out in time. Rags from both her house and the car are found to match. The man in the car is Trent Murphy, one of the witnesses set up by Brian to testify against Sue. Da Vinci organises a press conference at the proposed site of the red light district, sending press down to where Station Street meets Great Northern Way. He changes to location twice to avoid protesters sent by Joyce Simkins. Sue appears to have overdosed and gets taken to hospital where her heart is re-started. As soon as she gets the opportunity she escapes. Apparently she is unaware that her charges were stayed due to Brians other failed cases. Shannon helps Da Vinci and Bob Kelly start a rumour that he was arrested for drink driving in order to find the leak in the Civic Alliance (Ferlinger) and to embarrass Joyce Simkins. Da Vinci introduces Shannon as ex-homicide. Da Vinci helps negotiate an Inspector level retirement deal for Shannon using the tape of Jacobs and Kurtz. Jacobs sends Klotchko down to Leary to tell him to release Vin Tuan. Leary sends him round the block while he gets an ident from the guy Wills wife brought in. Da Vinci successfully announces his Mayoral candidacy with the support of the Civic Alliance, Alice Fellows father (a criminal lawyer), and Jacobs and Gohill from the Health Board present. Norton later speaks to Da Vinci offering to get some developers onside in exchange for some favours elsewhere. McNab is back in town and he, Da Vinci, Suki, Rose and Kosmo (and Carmine, the constable who always calls everyone) all end up at the same crime scene when a bank robber crashes his car and ends up dead. The bank robber? Dino Rosario. The season ends with McNab asking Da Vinci to use his Mayoral powers to get rid of a stop sign near his house!
