Thomas has his work cut out finding the right balance with new 'partner' Higgins, who even questions his pro bono generosity. Unlike Rick and Thomas, she has little true appreciation for American football, hence for the tickets T.C. got them for the visiting Los Angeles Rams, whose defender Aaron Donald hires Magnum to retrieve the tablet stolen from his hotel, which has the team game plans. However he gives priority to bidding for a make-up with grumpy Katsumoto, who refuses a freebie but hires Magnum to look into his suspicion that fellow detective Richard Johnson is the rotten apple who sabotages his upcoming trial by making evidence disappear from the precinct but lacks evidence to risk alerting I.A. Johnson catches them breaking in and proves innocent despite suspicious wealth, Katsumoto fires 'bumbling' Thomas but he persists to trap the real problem cop and his drug baron 'client'.
