- Amidst meddling by Captain Taylor (who plants one of his staff on her team), Brenda looks into the murder of a movie star's wife.
- A beautiful woman is found dead in her shower with no immediate sign of how she died. Initially it appears to be an accident at home, but Brenda has her suspicions when none of her hired help is present and the razor, she obviously used to shave her legs is missing. Could a missing razor lead to her killer? Brenda continues her investigation with weak cooperation among her team of detectives. Only Det. Sgt. Gabriel is with her as she looks for the killer among suspects including her philandering husband.
On the scene Gabriel states the conditioner she applied has to be on her twenty minutes and during that time Brenda says she shaves her legs. Brenda looks for the missing razor, and it is important if they cannot find it. Lindsey says Heather has not worked in two years, she was not in a hurry contradicting Jennifer's story.
At the morgue Brenda questions if the conditioner could have shut down her central nervous system. The coroner will look at her brain to determine if that was true. She tells Agent Howard she will send a picture of her scalp to determine the possible cause of death once the coroner is through.
Brenda is late for the Dean Kingsley interview. She arrives with Sanchez asking questions of Dean while his agent sits with him. Soon his attorney arrives saying no further questions leaving with her client and agent. Brenda goes to Pope complaining about the mishap and the quality of officers given to her by Captain Taylor. Taylor's additional officer is to be Flynn
Lindsey is filling in Brenda with Heather's calendar. Brenda is updating the murder board with the data. Lindsey had an affair with Dean in the past. It's not like she was Dean's last girlfriend, the sailboat is more like a ferry. Heather would take everything Dean had if she were to find out about the affairs.
If you can't interview the suspect you find what you can about the victim was Brenda's response to Gabriel asking what if Dean will not talk to us. Brenda eyeballs Heather's appointment book wondering who Heather was getting all gussied up to see. Rather than invite these people down to HQ, at no expectation of privacy, we should see the people at their workplace, keeping them in their comfort zone.
First visit is Jennifer, Heather's hairdresser, saying she had a 11:30 lunch appointment, and normally she performed her hair appointment in the shop, but Heather insisted she meet her that morning, be here by eight were Heather's exact words according to Jennifer. Second stop, Janine, Heather's Personal Shopper, black and red dress for Brenda. Janine's husband left her because of Dean, win some and lose some, she tells Brenda. Third, Isabelle, makeup artist for Heather, added eyelashes to Brenda, gave the restaurant name location for her 11:30 appointment; get a divorce first, he made a play for me in front of his wife. Fourth, Allison Metcalfe, I am Dean's alibi, Brenda responds, oh no Miss Metcalfe, you're his motive.
Brenda sits with Fritz at dinner explaining she got to know the manager this afternoon which is how she could get the reservation for the restaurant they are in. Fritz provides the details from the toxicology report on the nicotine conditioner, under exact conditions, it could be only fifteen minutes for it to penetrate and be toxic.
Brenda requests from Lt. Tao evidence to prove the nicotine conditioner and the victim hair follicles match. Brenda interviews Donnie Holt, owner of the boat slip two over from Dean Kingsley, who recognizes the picture Brenda provides as the new girlfriend, sailing off with her that night. The picture was Allison Metcalfe. The liquid nicotine found at the Kingsley house did not match up with the strands of hair from the victim. The Kingsley prenuptial agreement does not exist, Dean did not have one at all. The victim's cause of death was from a nicotine solution absorbed solely through the scalp. Brenda says his alibi is solid, the revised autopsy report confirms her suspicions and the prenup was non-existent.
Dean lied when he said he was alone on the boat and he conspired with Allison Metcalfe when she decided to pass that lie on to the police. Conspiracy equals obstruction of justice. Flynn goes to Taylor who goes to Pope who prevent Dean's arrest.
Brenda confronts Flynn the next morning stating no one thought to inform her of that decision, looking about into the squad room faces. Well then, I'll just go arrest him myself, as she leaves without any cooperation from her officer staff. Gabriel chases her down. Can you be certain you can drive Dean Kingsley back to Parker Center without getting lost? Brenda holds out her keys to Gabriel, gesturing you drive.
Dean's attorney says my client doesn't have to talk to you. Brenda responds, but he does have to listen. Taylor and others watch the interview. Brenda tells Dean he is responsible for his wife's death. Telling all these women the lies with a non-existent prenup. Being out on your boat when your wife is murdered is too much even for Hollywood standards. Did you ever think that one of these women might take you seriously? I would like you to make a list of all these women you have played this game with over the last three years, handing Dean a pen and paper. And I would like you to sign this custody agreement, because I am going to need it to make my case, showing the agreement to his attorney, before she put it in front of him to sign first.
Brenda returns to the hair salon on the premise she can't seem to get her hair the way it was before. Jennifer hears about the latest girlfriend, a restaurant manager from Beverly Hills, and Dean with a good alibi, on his sailboat with that manager. Brenda says the hairdo you gave me was the same as the one you gave the woman who played opposite him in his last movie. I looked it up on the crew list, that is how you knew him. Tell me Jennifer, did he ever take you sailing? Donnie Holt greets her, remember me? Brenda distinguishes among the dates Dean had, determining Jennifer was a few back since the latest girlfriend, verified by Donnie. . You washed Heather's hair and conditioned it just you always do, but you wore gloves because you didn't want to get any of the nicotine on your hands, and after you massaged it in, she went into the shower to shave her legs, and you waited until she died. And then you went into clean up a little, you took the razor by mistake, to be neat, and on the way home, you got rid of the poison, the gloves and the razor along with anything else. Gabriel hands Jennifer the agreement where Dean Kingsley signed away his parental rights, provided you tell us where you dumped the cleanup materials. Jennifer complies with the request, giving the location of the stuff she tossed. Brenda told her if she got an attorney, she would tear up the agreement, and Dean and the new girlfriend would sail off with her new baby. Jennifer signs the agreement, acknowledging her criminal act.
