Richie gets another partner after turning on Brody, and a known veteran: 'aunt' Edie, who shamelessly assumes being in charge and feels entitled to help herself to arrested people's ill-gotten possessions. Police shrink Trish Alexander refuses to comment when her adolescent son Ryan complaints about a 'stalker', beat cop Mike Fletcher, who has recurring control issues and delusions about his sex appeal. Trish is murdered, but Ryan father Owen Spencer, who now gets custody, also makes a plausible suspect. Richie finds out about Abbie's budding affair with prosecuting lawyer Danny Mitchell.
