There are dead rats in it.The shipping manifest shows one of the customers was a nail salon. The drug dog finds nothing, which means Jane has to release the container.

It's enough to hold the container.Jane drops by Maura's, limping in pain from her toenail. Ian is there and offers her some wine.

Chris says he called his uncle when his family was taken.Maura calls with news. She finds Lee had a poultry mite infection, which she could only get from being around them.

Maura doesn't want to leave her game.At the scene, without preamble, Jane tells Maura not to sleep with her brother. Maura insists that she is attracted to his mind.The car has been stripped clean and there's no body, but the inside is covered with blood. Maura looks at the spatter and says both of the victim's carotid arteries were slit, so whoever the blood came from is definitely dead.The car is registered to a 22 year old from Michigan named Melissa Black. She has a parking pass for the docks.At the docks, Jane and Maura get the complete once-over from the dock workers including one aggressively rude and offensive one.In the office, they meet Ray Murphy, the union rep.

Shannon says Melissa didn't believe the union story that the accident was their dad's fault for drinking on the job and she must have been investigating.Dr. Pike brings Maura an SD memory card he found in Melissa's stomach.Maura and Tommy flirt over a game of chess at her house, when suddenly two men bust down the door. One holds a gun on Maura and tells her the other needs a doctor. It's a badly wounded Patty Doyle (John Doman) and one of his thugs.Maura examines him. He has a gunshot wound in his shoulder that broke his clavicle. Patty tells Maura he got shot over "business" but he had nothing to do with the woman at the dock getting killed. Tommy asks how he knows Maura and Patty tells him he's her father.Frost plays the garbled footage from Melissa's SD memory card.

He tells her he's being framed. Patty and his goon leave. Patty says he's going to "finish what someone else started."Jane shows up 15 minutes later. Maura tells Jane what Patty said. Tommy says Patty would have to live by a code to rule the street and clearly loves Maura.At work the next day, Jane and Korsak look at files of his past alleged victims. Testy officer Duncan comes by with more parts of Melissa's car from chop shops for Jane. She expects him to be a jerk to her again, but Korsak and Frost promise he likes her.In the morgue, Maura asks Dr. Pike why he didn't do an exam of Melissa's teeth or gums. She's curious about post mortem bruising around her mouth and Maura thinks she might have bitten her attacker. Pike says he already released the body. Maura's upset he did it without having her sign off. He starts to defend his credentials, but she cuts him off and tells him to get the body back, reminding him that she's his boss.Jane and Korsak interview Axel the longshoreman. He didn't know MJ was Richie's kid. Axel says Richie was a "stand up guy" and was trying to address dock safety, running for union rep before he got hurt. Ray Murphy won. He has an assault and fraud record.Frost pulls up surveillance footage of Ray leaving just a few minutes before Melissa did on her last day. He has a fancy car. The footage shows Melissa following him.Jane runs into the sensitivity trainer in the hallway, where Axel has just told her he wants to file a complaint against Jane for insulting him. Jane pauses and puts on her sweetest face to apologize, and does so so convincingly that the jerk accepts her apology and backs off.Back in the morgue, Pike examines Melissa's teeth, right where Maura tells him. He finds a skin particle. Maura tells him to take the credit.At the docks, Jane and Korsak walk up to the union rep's office and hear a woman making moaning noises inside. They open the door and find Ray Murphy stabbed through the chest with an ice pick and his secretary tied up in the closet.Two of Ray's fingers are broken, but only two, so he gave up whatever the person was after.In the morgue, Maura tells Jane that Ray has a bite mark on his arm that matches Melissa. She thinks Patty was telling the truth and Ray killed her.Frost finds Melissa was backing up her footage to a wireless receiver in her car, which they just recovered. He pulls up the footage. It shows Ray Murphy going into a warehouse and talking to someone, but they can't see who. They zoom in and see it's the CEO Sutton, telling Ray to push the men to unload faster. Sutton did it. Patty was telling the truth.Maura tells Jane she better find Sutton before Patty does.Jane shoots out the glass door at Sutton's office building and she, Frost and Korsak go in. They find Sutton holding his broken fingers in the conference room.

It had fanning powder on it, a substance used on decks of cards. Jane remembers Dunn's profile as a gambler. Jane wants to look into gambling.Jane can tell that Maura is feeling really out of sorts, but she says it's a stomach ache.Maura walks to her car in the garage. Tommy intercepts her. He tells her sometimes he does "stupid, crazy things" and he apologizes.

She asks him how he could do it. He denies it and says that John was the friend who helped him move and lent him the van.He says he doesn't know Ricky Dunn. He doesn't have an alibi, he was in his new apartment asleep. Tommy says John was starting a new house painting job and he asked Tommy to work with him. Farrell breaks up the interview. As they're taking Tommy away, Jane asks him point blank if he did it. He says no and she promises she won't let him get back to prison.Farrell isn't interested in the possibility that John Polk was painting a house during the robbery, saying that a jury can sort it out.Jane visits Maura, who says the red in the van was a dye pack. The red under Polk's nails and in his nose was house paint. Jane thinks it means Tommy was telling the truth. She thinks if they can prove John Polk wasn't there it might back up Tommy. Maura gets to work identifying the red paint while Jane tries to find the other two bank robbers.Frankie comes by to hear Jane's theory. She thinks Ricky borrowed John's van to rob the bank, but John confronted him when he heard his friend Paul Lanford had been killed, so Ricky killed John and framed him.Maura announces the paint on John Polk's body was colonial red, a historic color in limited supply and used in restorations.Later, Frankie finds the house in Dorchester.

Over Farrell's objections Jane puts down her gun and goes in to talk. Jane asks them to let her get the woman medical attention. When they still say no, she calls him "David."They let the hostage go. David is angry at Carl for shooting his brother after he found them out. He doesn't think John would have talked. He got the idea and tracked down John's old partner, Ricky.Jane tries to talk them down, reminding them about their young children. David turns over his gun but Carl raises his and the sniper takes him out.Later, Angela picks Tommy up from jail. Farrell tells Tommy the charges against him have been dropped and he's not in trouble with his parole officer.Frost is about to just leave when Jane reminds him not to put the job ahead of her. He goes to talk to his ex-fiancé.Maura opens her fancy bottle of wine from Tommy to share with Jane and her grilled cheese.

Hide description ▲

Picking up from last season's finale, we begin with a crime scene and Jane freaking out to Korsak over shooting her best friend's father. Korsak reminds her he was head of the Irish mob and suspected in 15 murders.
Korsak didn't think this was how they'd take down Paddy Doyle.Flash back to Jane and Frost going into a warehouse, inside a man is telling Maura she shouldn't have come alone. He takes out a gun to shoot and from a gangplank above, Doyle shoots the man. On the ground, Agent Dean shoots at Paddy and hits him in the shoulder, then Paddy shoots Dean in the leg. So Jane comes in and shoots Doyle as Maura screams "no!"
Doyle falls to the floor below. Jane tries to stop the bleeding but Maura yells at her. "Don't you dare touch him!"
Later, Jane tries to talk to Maura, but she's really angry.
Maura defends her dad for shooting the guy who tried to run her over yesterday and put her mother in the hospital."We had a handle on it until Paddy crashed our operation," Jane says."Oh, you mean your boyfriend had a handle on it?" Maura asks.
Jane didn't know Dean would follow them, but he's a federal agent so he had a right to. Maura defends that Paddy just shot Dean in the leg and could have killed him if he wanted to.She thinks her father was only there to protect her.
Jane calls her naïve and ignorant."Well, at least I don't play judge and jury and kill people," Maura says.
Jane blames herself for involving Maura.
Flash back to Jane wiring Maura before she goes into the situation undercover.Jane reminds Maura that this is serious and someone is trying to kill her.
Later, Lt. Cavanaugh takes Jane's gun as evidence and chides her for not telling him she knew Paddy Doyle was in town. She has to go meet with the head of Internal Affairs.
In a convenience store, the clerk talks to a customer about the day's news when a masked gunman comes in and shoots them both.
At the station, the IAD guy John asks Jane how long she's known Paddy Doyle was Maura's father and then how long she's been sleeping with Agent Dean. He thinks it has a lot to do with her judgement today.
At the hospital, a doctor tells Maura that surgeons are working on her father, but he has no movement in his legs.
Cliff, another IA guy, joins Jane. He asks if she's doing favors for Maura.They are interrupted by Korsak and Cavanaugh who need Jane for a case -- a cop has been shot.Jane worries what's going to happen when they talk to Maura, who can't lie.
In the hallway, Jane runs into Agent Dean, who is limping but OK. She's mad at him for telling people they were sleeping together and for following Maura to the warehouse. She thinks he figured he'd be the hero and break the case and she feels betrayed. She brushes him off.
In the hospital, Maura visits her mother (Jacqueline Bisset) who is badly beaten. Jane's mom Angela visits.
At the convenience store, the customer turns out to be the cop, Walter Wisniewski. The alternate coroner Dr. Pike (Ed Begley Jr.) examines the body and is sure they were shot with a .38. The cop was shot in the back.They look at the security footage and don't think it feels like a robbery.
At the hospital, Maura tells Angela she feels bad for biting Jane's head off. She was in shock. Doyle kept repeating "Hope" and she wonders if it's her biological mother's name. The surgeon brings her a Do Not Resuscitate form and Maura gets upset, she tells Angela to leave.
At the cop shooting, Korsak urges Jane to get to the hospital to talk to Maura before IA gets there. To outsiders, he thinks they'll look dirty because they bent a couple rules.
Jane runs into the hospital and tells Maura that IA is coming. Maura is upset that Jane doesn't start with an apology. Jane quickly tells her that if their friendship ever meant anything then she hopes Maura will think before she answers their questions.
The IA guys show up and yell at Jane to stop talking to her.
They shoo Jane away and ask Maura questions about Jane. The doctor tells Maura that Paddy is waking up. She goes to his bedside and the IA guys ask her about a book that Doyle kept; she doesn't know anything about it.
Jane visits her mom at Maura's, who tries to cheer her up.She asks the story of how Jane and Maura became friends.Jane was working undercover in narcotics.
Flash back to Jane in fishnets and a mini-skirt trying to buy coffee from Stanley at the coffee counter and not having enough money. He doesn't know she's a cop and treats her like a hooker. Maura hears what's going on and tries to give her money but Jane snaps at her and tells her not every hooker has a heart of gold.
Angela and Jane are laughing at the memory when Maura comes home. She reminds Jane she shouldn't be there while IA is investigating and Jane worries about what she told them. She tells her Mom to get her things and forces Angela to choose sides.
Angela goes to get some things and gives Maura a hug. Maura lets her take a drawing one of her mom's art students made of a woman at a graveside.
Jane wakes up in bed with her mom the next morning. Frankie drops by for breakfast.Agent Dean knocks on Jane's door with flowers. She doesn't want to talk to him.
He tells her they had a wire tap on Paddy Doyle and he has cops on his payroll. He thinks she's being set up.He's being sent back to Washington. Jane softens and sends him off with a smile.
In the station, Cavanaugh relays the story of Paddy falling in love with a Harvard girl years ago but his father breaking them up.
Jane meets Frost in the morgue and she flirts to get Dr. Pike to do what she wants. They have to stop him from using forceps on the bullet and leaving mark that would ruin ballistics tests. And it's a .45, not like he said.
Jane sees Maura in her office and tries to talk to her but they end up insulting each other. Jane says at least her father doesn't stab people with ice picks and Maura says at least her father didn't move to Florida to sleep with some floozy he met in a pizza parlor.
Dr. Pike tapes the whole thing on his smart phone.
Cavanaugh interrupts, followed by an IAD guy who asks if they're having a "cat fight." Cavanaugh transfers Jane to Evidence and Maura turns in her resignation.
Maura comes home to find her house ransacked.
Later, Korsak asks if Paddy ever mentioned a book, he says there are judges and politicians on Paddy's payroll, too. Korsak tells Maura that Jane didn't know Dean would be there.
Maura says she resigned because she's the daughter of a mobster and they're all under investigation for trying to protect her.
Frost visits Jane in Evidence, where she makes off with a box of guns to test fire. She pulls a bullet and notices it matches the one that killed Wisniewski, which means he was killed by someone in the police department.Jane takes her findings to Cavanaugh, who is surprised it took her so long to figure it out. They knew Paddy had someone on the payroll in Evidence so he put her there to keep an eye on things.
They all head to Wisniewski's house and find it full of really nice things and also wads of cash in the wall. They find an old childhood photo of Wisniewski with Paddy as altar boys. Wisniewski has a bunch of old guns and they think Paddy had a deal with him to fence guns.
They head to evidence, where the guns are kept in barrels before an armored car takes them away to melt them down. But no one in the department is notified when they're about to be moved.
Jane says Dean told her the FBI thought Paddy was about to move on the guns. They start looking for them. They find scrap metal in one of the barrels and Cliff the IAD guy dead in another, apparently shot with a .44.
John the IAD guy finds them and they show him what they found. He thinks they should seal the barrels and leave them because if homicide starts investigating, the dirty cops will go underground. They figure the guns were hid elsewhere in evidence.
They go to Paddy's evidence boxes and find them full of guns. They decide to put everything back. But first Jane checks surveillance footage from 1976, including a photo of a woman who could be Maura's mom at a grave.Jane recognizes the photo.
She visits her mom and asks to see the drawing of the woman at the graveside.She compares it to the photo and runs out.
At the hospital, Maura's mother sits by Paddy's bedside. Jane confronts her with the photo and drawing. Maura's mom doesn't know who the woman is, but she's Maura's mother. She met Paddy years ago when he took her art class. He showed up months later with a newborn, saying the mother had died during childbirth.
He used to meet Maura's mother at the cemetery because it was the only place they were safe from his father.
Jane visits the grave of Baby Maura Doyle. Paddy told everyone that Maura and her mother had died.Jane notices something on the grave and starts digging. She pulls up a book with a photo in it.
Jane brings it to John in the hospital. Then she shows him the photo -- of John, Cliff, Wisniewski and Doyle. John was the dirty cop, not Cliff.
John pulls the .44 and threatens to shoot her in the hospital. She asks him if he feels lucky. He pulls the trigger but nothing happens. She removed the firing pins from all the guns before they put them back in evidence.
Frost and Korsak come in and arrest him, joined by Cavanaugh who tells her to get back to Homicide. Maura joins them and asks Doyle if he would have shot Jane."Hell yea, you're a cop," he croaks out.
Jane takes Maura to the baby Maura gravesite. Now she knows why her biological mother never looked for her; she thought she was dead. Maura asks to be alone, and tells Jane to tell Pike she's coming back.

At Maura's house we pause for a little Dr. Scholl's product placement as Maura gives Angela some for her high heels. She's going off to work all dressed up. Jane thinks her mom has a "gentleman caller."
Maura's birth mother Hope calls her suggesting dinner. Maura invites her and her daughter over.Jane's phone rings. "Saved by murder," she says.

There's nearly a whole ear skewered on a gate and a blood trail.A Mercedes parked across the street is registered to Neal Murray.
The trash pick-up comes. Jane stops them from dumping the can. Neal Murray, minus one ear, is dead inside.
The victim co-owns an investment company. In the morgue, Maura has found a blonde hair. He's wearing a pin that says rodium.

Kaylen excuses herself to use the bathroom and Hope explains that her ex-husband had financial issues so she always had to work.Hope excuses herself.
Maura whispers to Jane that Kaylen hates her. Jane brings Kaylen the rest of her cake, but she doesn't feel like eating. Jane tries to talk to her but she's polite and withdrawn. She thanks Jane for trying to talk to her, but tells her she's walking home, she wants to be alone. Hope gets out of the bathroom and goes after Kaylen, saying she's very fragile right now.
At the station the next day, Maura says there was no erectile disfunction drug in the victim's system. He had a heart attack but she hasn't found what caused it yet.
Hope drops by to apologize for Kaylen. She explains that Kaylen is very ill, which is why Hope brought her back to Boston.She contracted a bacterial infection while Hope was doing relief work and she's in desperate need of a kidney transplant. Hope isn't a match and neither is Kaylen's father. Maura wishes there was something she could do.
Korsak finds an ER record for Neal from a few weeks ago. A rapper named Heavy Drizzle aka Lamar Jones brought him in. He pulls up one of his songs, leading to some really bad rump shaking from Frankie and Frost.
Down in the lab, Jane finds Maura testing last night's dessert."I think we're a match," she tells Jane.
Maura thinks she can donate anonymously. She doesn't want to make Hope relive the worst event of her life, Maura's "death," by telling her.
Heavy Drizzle and his posse show up at the station. Frankie joins Frost in interview. He says he doesn't recognize Neal, even though he's his business advisor.
He admits Neal was his money man. He wanted liquid capital back and Neal promised Dale would get it. He was speeding with Neal in his car and gave him chest pains, threatening him to get his money back. Neal told Heavy not to tell Dale and gave him the money out of his own pocket.
Frost and Korsak meet with Dale, who tells them to talk to his lawyer. They notices his keychain is like Neal's.
Frost looks through Dale and Neal's financial records and declares them fishy. He says it looks like a Ponzi scheme.
Jane pries open the keychain and finds a flash drive. It pulls up a site for Ten Precious Metals, which displays women. Ten different levels of girls for ten different levels of investors. There's a calendar.
There was a secret sex party at the vacant house the night of the murder and other vacant houses different nights.Georgette Wilkins was the listing agent for all of them. They run her prints from her business card and find she's Candy Smith, a former prostitute. She sold Neal his house.
Neal and Dale were desperate for investors, so Georgette supplied the girls and the houses she couldn't sell. Neal threw the parties and got big investors.
Hope drops by Maura's office.Hope talks about feeling helpless and not able to protect her daughter, again. Maura reassures her. Hope just heard about the anonymous donor. She's worried she's losing her daughter. Maura makes her feel better.
Jane and Korsak confront Georgette/Candy, who denies knowing anything. She goes into a private club so they can't follow. Jane calls Maura to get her in.
Maura has the tox results on Neal: he was injected with potassium chloride.
Jane and Maura follow Georgette into the bathroom. She doesn't know who killed him. They use the same girls every time and the guys sign a release. Jane tells Georgette to hold another party that night.
In the lab, Maura compares Georgette's hair and declares it's not a match to the crime scene. She insists on going to the party undercover.
Cut to Jane and Maura going into the party dressed as buttoned-up waiters. They pull all the blonde hairs they see. Everyone is wearing masks, but Jane sees the coach from the school lift his mask. Georgette is draped all over him.
Maura checks the hairs they've gathered from call girls so far, but doesn't find a match.A little while later, Jane hears a scream and finds Georgette floating facedown in the pool.
Back at the lab, Maura says Georgette was pushed into the pool and hit her head. She's wearing a 4 carat diamond ring, the girlfriend kind.
Maura gets the results from a gel she found on Neal's body. It's from a butane gel used to keep food warm. They realize they should have been testing the caterers. Jane sees a print on the giant diamond.
At the high school, Doug leads a presentation to his fellow teachers advising them to stay with Neal and Dale's investment firm. Jane and Frost come and arrest him. They found Lori's print on the diamond ring, she tried it on before she killed her. Doug stole all the teacher's money.
So Lori the nurse snuck in with the caterers and injected Neal, the man who ruined her life.
Later, Maura's at home when Kaylen knocks on her door. Kaylen tells Maura her name means "uncertain."
"That's the name that my mother picked for me. Maura means great, that's the name she picked for you," she says.
Kaylen shows Maura the news clippings about her and Paddy Doyle and asks why she called her mom. She found the drawing of her mother at the graveside the other night when she went snooping.
"Do you have any idea what it's like to grow up in the shadow of a dead baby? I was never enough," she asks.Maura tells her she wants to help, but Kaylen doesn't want her kidney.
"Please don't through your life away because of me," Maura says.
Hope shows up with the police, Kaylen took her car.
Maura tells Hope that she's Paddy Doyle's daughter, and hers. Hope is shocked and doesn't want to hear it. She yells at Maura, then drags Kaylen out of there.
Later, Maura cries to Jane. She composes herself then decides she's insulted that Kaylen rejected her kidney. Jane tells her she's better off keeping it anyway.

Jane wonders if he was using drugs again, since people score drugs in the alley. Maura finds a vial of what could be drugs on him.
At the station, Jane talks to his Shane's brothers, members of his band. They had just finished a show and were about to tour overseas. He missed a live webcast after the concert. They think he was using again.
Their father Ryan used to be their manager, but they got him thrown in jail years ago after they found out he was stealing from them.
Jane finds Maura rocking out to a Channel Street boys video over Shane's autopsy. Maura gets the tox screen and is surprised he had no drugs in his system and hasn't for at least six months.
Jane tries to console her mother, who tells her that one of their hits was about her. Angela asks Jane to come to Lydia's shower and asks Jane to text her.
Frost goes over Shane's car and finds his backstage pass and car keys in the car. He has expensive luggage in the trunk with his cell phone.
Upstairs, Korsak relays that all the bullets came from the same gun. They haven't been able to track down Ryan, the boys' father. Frost works on Shane's cell phone, which has military spec security to protect from gossip magazines. Frost accidentally triggers a self-destruct program on the phone, wiping out its whole history.
Down in Maura's office, Frankie arrives looking haggard but bearing the murder weapon. He ran from the scene to the station.
Jane drags Maura to go meet with Lydia -- she texted her from Angela's phone.They wait at the Dirty Robber. Lydia is late because she walked after running out of gas.
Before Jane can ask, Lydia tells Jane she doesn't know if Frankie or Tommy is the father. Lydia wants to tell Angela but Jane tells her not to.
Lydia meant to run into Angela that day because Frank used to say she was a great mother and Lydia wants to learn from her.
She's off to Lamaze class, Maura guilts Jane into going. Lydia's "happy place" is a mall. She doesn't plan to have tests done to find out who the father is. Lydia doesn't think it's right to keep the truth from Angela.
"What, you got a conscience now after you sleep with half of my family?"Jane asks.
Korsak comes in to the station to find that Frost never left. He found Shane's last text by going through the concert footage and zooming in on Shane texting on stage.It said: "I'm free, let's do it."
They think it was a booty call and Frost and Korsak head to motels near the crime scene.
In the morgue, Jane learns there was blood on the grip of the handle and she concludes it came from an amateur holding the gun improperly.
Frost calls Jane to report someone named "Jamie Relis" checked into a nearby motel before the concert. It's a name from "Friends with Benefits." They go inside and find a woman dead on the bed by a crack pipe. She's a famous pop singer named Gia.
Gia and Shane met in rehab. Gia had an article about Shane's death on her iPad. They wonder if it was a suicide.
Frost finds footage of TK "The Killer" Womack outside the motel where they found Gia. He managed Gia and Shane. He and his posse went in the motel at 12:15 and came out at 12:30 a.m.
At Maura's, Angela has gone crazy with the decorations. Jane brings Lydia, who is upset. Angela assures her she's better off without the creep that dumped her when she told him she was pregnant.
"He dumped me when I told him the baby might be Tommy's," Lydia lets slip. Then she tells Angela that Frank is the one who dumped her. Angela blames Maura and Jane for not telling her and then can't believe Lydia came into her house and family after what she's done. Angela leaves in tears ignoring Jane's attempts to apologize.
Jane and Maura drop Lydia off at her mother's house with her gifts. Her haggard mom comes out and tells her she rented her room out. Maura feels sympathetic but Jane tells her Lydia made her own bed.
Frost and Korsak talk to Womack the manager, who says Shane was worth more to him alive than dead.
Upstairs, they find Shane donated to a lot of children's charities and relief organizations. The band was broke, but a clause in their contract let them keep rights to merchandizing, online fan memberships and premium chats.
Maura reports the blood on the gun belonged to a white man, so it couldn't be Womack.
They still can't find Ryan and only have a cell phone on his social security application. Jane calls him, saying that Shane named him as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy.
Frost and Jane wait for Ryan to arrive at his PO box. They take him in. He denies killing Shane.
Jane talks to Frankie, advising him not to tell Angela he knew about Lydia.
Maura tells Jane the lesions on Shane's lips were from an anti-malaria drug. They find the same drug in Gia's system, and also find from her hair sample that she'd been drug free for at least six months. Shane's "I'm free" text meant he was quitting the band. They were going to Haiti to help with relief efforts and be together.
The blood from the gun isn't Ryan's, but it's a familial match to Shane. One of his brother's killed him.
They go back to the live webcast and find the program was old. Shane was worth more dead to his brothers.Maura is notified that the fiber in Shane's wound was denim. From the concert footage they find his brother Ronin was in jeans.
He has a hunting license, so he could have hit him in the legs from far away. But that doesn't explain the blood in the hand gun from an amateur. Jane thinks she knows what happened.
Jane and Frankie visit the brothers. Jane accuses them of making a pact to kill Shane.
Flash back to Shane in the alley. Ronin fired first and hit him, but the other brother couldn't bring himself to do it so he fired at the pavement. Then he fired and cut his hand.
Jane and Frankie arrest the brothers.
Frankie and Angela join Maura and Jane. Angela wants to move. She knows Frankie knew about Lydia, too. "I know you were trying to protect me, but I can't have my children think I'm pitiful," Angela says.Jane assures her her father is the one that's pitiful and they admire her for picking herself up. Maura says she always wanted a mother like Angela. They share a group hug.

Hands make a plaster mold of a body, then carefully finish the details so it looks like Venus de Milo, complete with no arms. Pan up and we see what's being molded -- a dead woman.
On a field trip, a kid tosses a coin in a fountain to make a wish. He notices the statue is bleeding.
In the station, the gang prepares to welcome Frankie to homicide. They don't know yet if he got it, but they're optimistic. Cavanaugh introduces the new Detective: Riley Cooper. Jane's former "drug dealer" neighbor.
Frankie takes the new stoically. Cooper apologizes to Jane for the fact they met under such weird circumstances.Homicide's been a dream of hers.
"Was part of that dream playing us both for fools?" Frost asks.Jane reminds him being undercover isn't easy.
"So that makes it OK that you used us to get inside information so you could get the promotion?" Frankie says.
Jane doesn't understand why Cooper led both men on. Cooper says she likes both of them and Jane expects that means she'll find a way to make it right.
At the murder scene, the victim is encased in bronze, or at least appears to be until the crime scene techs drop it and it cracks, turning out to be plaster.The dead woman inside is cold like she was frozen.
In the station café, Maura, Jane and Angela console Frankie. He thinks he's going to be taking 911 calls for the rest of his life.
Maura sees Dennis Rockmond (Eddie Cibrian) coming her way. They went out and he never called. He's carrying a copy of his best seller, "Release Your Inner Winner and Win."He tells Maura he was traveling and should have emailed. He invites her to his book signing but she declines. Jane can tell Maura still likes him.
Down in the morgue, Maura is annoyed he disappeared for three months.
The victim has a streak of white hair and track marks on her jugular vein. She was in cold storage for two to six months. She's in her 50s with terrible teeth and no arms. She was strangled.
Frost found four cases across the country of dead prostitutes who were strangled, had their arms cut off and were encased in plaster.
They're dealing with a serial killer with ego. The other victims were found in locations used by kids.
Jane gives Cooper the victim's picture and asks her to show it around, she tells Frost and Frankie to go with her and get over their issues.
Cavanaugh checks with Jane to see what she thinks of Cooper and Jane approves. Cavanaugh is impressed with her, but says he'll never see another Jane Rizzoli.
In Maura's office, Jane worries that means Frankie won't get his badge.Maura found cigarette burns on the victim's feet. She delivered a child by C-section and had her tubes tied more than 30 years ago. Maura leaves for Dennis' book signing.
Out canvassing, Frankie and Frost give Cooper a hard time, overly deferring to her "expertise." She approaches an older hooker who recognizes the victim as "Cruella," whom, with the help of some cash, she remembers last seeing three months ago.
At the book signing, Jane finds things wrong with Dennis. Maura is totally smitten.Jane gets a text about another victim.
This Venus de Milo is on a moving carousel.Frost finds that the killer took out the security cameras with a laser pointer.
In the morgue, Maura finds the victim died within 24 hours. She also had cigarette burns. She recently had a baby but had heroin in her system. She was also a prostitute.
It's late at night, but Jane and Frost take the newest victim's picture around. Jane's CI Rondo recognizes her as Chrissy, she goes by Rainbow.
A transvestite suggests "Bear" might have done it -- he likes to choke people. Kitty describes him driving a blue pick-up with tools in the back.
Back home, Angela takes out her Lydia frustrations with aggressive knitting. There's a ring at the door. It's Dennis bearing an orchid.
He tells Maura his parents have been married 30 years and are still happy and he wants something like that. He liked her so much he freaked out and bailed.
The next morning, Maura tells Jane she's playing hard to get with Dennis.
The police have picked up "Bear." Jane shows him photos of the victims and he recognizes them as hookers. He's angry and surly. Maura doesn't think it seems like a sociopath, he's too angry.
They charge him with assault for throwing his tools at an officer when he was arrested.
Upstairs, they found plaster of Paris in the back of his truck. Jane wants to check for a connection to Hoyt, her old nemesis. She opens a letter left on her desk.
"Dear Boss, Do you like my work? Make sure you don't give the wrong sculptor credit. I'm about to sculpt my finest piece of work."
They get notification of another body at the zoo. He took out the security cameras again. Frost gets an email from a detective working a similar case in another city. Their suspect was Frederick Stone, he once shared a cell with Hoyt.
In the morgue, the third victim had cocaine in her system, not heroin. Maura wants to check if she was sedated.
Jane gets a text from Angela. She goes up to the café and finds Lydia going into labor. She's refusing to go to a hospital because she wants her baby to be born around family.
Tommy shows up and Lydia's contractions go away. She promises to turn over a new leaf.
In the morgue, Dennis comes in through the back door. He says it's his birthday and he wanted to relive the highest and lowest points of his year. The victims are on the tables and he remembers being wheeled in there. She agrees to celebrate with a birthday dinner later.
Upstairs, the third victim is ID'd as a 21-year-old prostitute who had a baby taken away a few weeks ago. All the victims had children.They think the Venus represents a "crazy mixed up symbol of love and eroticism."
Maura goes to Dennis' loft apartment for dinner. His private elevator is broken.He says his mom called him first thing to wish him happy birthday. They toast to his 36th birthday.
At the station, they get word Frederick Stone was arrested two days ago, so he couldn't be the killer.
Jane looks into "Cruella's" son, Mark. He'd be 36, he was taken away after repeated episodes of abuse. She used to burn him on the soles of his feet with her cigarettes.
Jane gets texted to Lydia going into labor down in the café.Frost comes down to say that Mark ran away from foster care when he was 8, found his mother, and got abused by her again.Jane goes to get the tox results on the third victim.
The lab tech tells Jane that Maura is out to dinner with Dennis. The tox results show the victim had the sedative Enderol in her system, the same thing that Dennis nearly OD'd on.
Jane finds the hand Dennis sculpted for Maura on her desk. It looks like the "bronze" Venus statues. Jane smashes it and finds a human hand inside. She calls for back up to Dennis' apartment.
In his loft, he shows Maura some of his sketches. He plies her with wine and is about to take her into his studio to show her his work when Frost, Jane and Korsak bust in. He grabs Maura around the neck and holds a knife to her throat. Jane assures him that he's much smarter than all of them.
He holds Maura as he backs up to the empty elevator shaft, babbling about how mothers should treat their children right. Then, all of a sudden, he flings himself backward. Jane grabs Maura. She's in tears and upset that she didn't realize Dennis was a killer.
Back home, Jane tries to make Maura feel better while Angela continues knitting furiously. There's a ring at the door, Angela expects her yarn.
Jane opens it and finds Lydia's baby.

Angela waits on a man in the diner. Stanley the owner is giving her a hard time when suddenly the man starts coughing up blood. They call 911, but he keels over dead.In the morning at Maura's house, Maura and Jane are exhausted from taking care of the baby. Tommy finally got him to stop crying by rocking him. Tommy wants to name him Mario.Maura swabs Tommy's mouth to get DNA for the paternity test.Jane holds the baby and admits she wishes she could keep him, you know, some of the time.They get a call about the suspicious death at the café and head in.At the café, Jane comforts her traumatized Mom. Stanley insists they didn't feed him anything bad. The victim is Phil Taylor, 45, he works at a pharmaceutical company. He had a picture of a young boy in his wallet and Korsak's name and number. When Maura asks for the plate of food he was eating, Stanley seems to get faint and light-headed. Angela doesn't know what happened to it.Frankie arrives at Maura's house, Tommy is freaked out because the baby rolled off the couch onto a pillow. There's a knock at the door, Lydia and her mom barge in. Frankie can't arrest her for abandoning him because technically all she did was leave him with family. They take him and leave.Down in the lab, Maura pokes through the victim's barely digested stomach contents of eggs and pancakes. She also finds chocolate and mint, which she thinks came from a frappaccino, which they don't serve at the café.His medical records indicate he had warfarin in his blood, a blood thinner also found in rat poison.Jane and a tech head down to the café to look for evidence of poisoning. They confiscate the rat poison and Jane interviews Stanley.Upstairs, they've found the photo in Phil's wallet was not of his son. He lost his pharm job five years ago and was doing temp work. Korsak's number was written on St. Avitas note paper, where they have an AA meeting every morning.Korsak and Frost head to the church.Frankie breaks the news about Lydia taking the baby to Jane.At the AA meeting, a lawyer named Larry is sharing while sort of advertising his services. A woman recognizes Korsak and plants a wet one on his lips. It takes him a while to place her, but he realizes it's his first wife, Dana.They were only married for three months 40 years ago. Dana says Phil was there that morning and she gave him Korsak's number because he needed a cop he could trust. Dana says he was hanging out with a blonde woman in her 40s.Back in Maura's office, Jane gets off the phone from an assistant district attorney who confirms they can't do much with Lydia. There's a three month wait for a custody hearing, during which TJ would be in foster care. They don't think Lydia will hurt him.Test confirm that the poison was delivered in the food. Jane asks Frankie to dig through the trash for the food and a disposable coffee cup.Maura flirts with Alex Simmons, the guy who brings the bodies. She thinks he's cute. He's in med school, but also sews, knits and crochets. He brought in Lucy Cox, 32, who was found dead in her apartment. She was sick for a week.Maura looks at her lung x-ray and sees bloody streaks on her fingernails. Then she tells Jane and Alex to hold their breath and head for the lab as she pushes the code red button.It could be anything from Ebola to SARS, Maura says later as tech come in Tyveks suits to clean the place out. They have to strip, take decontamination showers and get in the suits. Jane suddenly feels very modest and does a complicated dance hiding behind a trash can to avoid showing her bits.Maura checks with the CDC, there's no report of any hemorrhagic viruses in the area, but there is a report of treatable bacterial meningitis in Boston. Maura is awaiting the victim's test results.Alex's girlfriend, Suzy the lab tech, comes to check on him. Maura gets the results, it is meningitis, which is good news.Frankie reports he couldn't find Phil's food.Back upstairs, Angela comes with Phil's thrown out drink cup which she found in the lobby trash can. Phil had told her Stanley made him throw it out. Korsak get a text from Dana, she wants to talk about Phil's murder.Dana tells Korsak that Phil said he ruined a little boy's life. He said he had blood on his hands and made another terrible mistake.Dana tells Korsak she feels terrible she didn't wait for him to come back from Vietnam.In the lab, Suzy reports there was warfarin in the coffee cup. She mentions she and Alex met at a nudist retreat.There are 50 Boston Joe's where Phil could have bought the coffee.Upstairs, they try to figure out what Phil felt guilty about. They find a hit and run from five years ago, eight-year-old Jimmy Flores was paralyzed. Phil said his car was stolen at the time.Jane decides to go to the Boston Joe's by St. Avitas.The barista recognizes his photo. He was with a tall, skinny dour woman, who the barista remembers took Phil's coffee and dumped a lot of sugar in it. They assume it wasn't sugar.Later, at Jane's house, Tommy says the paternity test confirms TJ is his. Frankie, Angela and Jane are excited to have the baby in their lives. They suggests fighting for joint custody, but Angela has another idea.The next morning, Jane stops by the café. Stanley tells her he wants to confess. Upstairs, he admits he hid Phil's food. He has it in a Ziploc bag. They give him a hard time, but tell him they can't charge him with anything.Upstairs, they look at surveillance from the Boston Joe's which shows Phil and the mystery woman. There's no sound, so Jane calls Frankie in to read their lips, which he learned how to do playing baseball. He thinks Phil is saying: "I didn't sign up for this, I didn't know men in tights would kill people." Or maybe "Mennonites."Facial recognition IDs the woman as Alice Vanderbilt. They head to her house and find her in her garage with her engine running. She's dead.Later, in the morgue, Maura confirms she died of carbon monoxide poisoning. Her prints were the only ones found on everything, so they're calling it suicide.Alex brings in the body of Brian Radcliff, 31. Alex thinks it might be meningitis. Jane realizes that's what Phil was saying, not "men in tights."Back upstairs, they find Alice was a quality control tech at Phil's company. She was previously an anesthesiologist.Maura reports there was an injection site on Brian's arm from a flu vaccine. Both victims only died from the meningitis because they had underlying conditions. They think Phil and Alice conspired to taint the vaccine so they could launch a class action lawsuit against the pharma company. But they'd need a lawyer.They find a name on Alice's lapsed medical license: Larry Bukowski.Jane, Frost and Korsak interrupt the AA meeting and serve Larry with a warrant to check his car. He has a ton of flyers trolling for people who got meningitis from a flu vaccine. He also has a picture of Phil with his bloody car from the night he ran over Jimmy Florres. He still has Phil's license plate. He handled malpractice cases for Alice.They find the lot number for the bad vaccine and arrest Larry.Lydia and her difficult mother come over for dinner at Maura's house. Angela says it's a chance for them all to start over. Lydia's mom starts off on the right foot by asking for water and a prescription for Antabuse from Maura.Lydia lets Angela hold him and they all sit down to dinner as a family.

Ethan Slater, the author of "Suicide Boy" tries to work on a follow up to his book, called "Murder Boy." He finishes and takes a swig of booze.Later, Juliet knocks at his door and comes in to find him strung up from a noose.At the station, Jane is annoyed to find Lt. Cavanaugh has ordered a "Week of Health." Among other things, it means no coffee. Maura is all for it. He suggests Jane, Maura and Angela serve as "wellness captains."Jane is thrilled to get notice of a high profile suicide -- it means they can stop and get coffee.On the way out, Merrick Palmer and his son Bradley stop Detective Frost, who arrested Quentin Morris, who killed Bradley's girlfriend, Katrina. Quentin's final appeal was denied yesterday and they have a $25,000 check for the Police Athletic League in Frost's honor.When they leave, Frost feels bad that Quentin's appeal was denied.At Slater's crime scene, Frost calls him a "steam punker," someone who revered Victorian era designs with a punk twist. "Suicide Boy" was about his addiction, depression and suicide attempt.He left a note in his typewriter: "I can no longer live with the lies."His new manuscript is missing, he was found by his editor. Korsak recognizes the noose knot as complicated and Maura says it's not consistent with the marks on Slater's neck.Back at the café, Angela is handing out quinoa wraps.Vonda Morris stops Frost, insisting her son Quentin didn't kill Katrina. She asks him to look at the case again, even though it's outside their jurisdiction. Frost apologizes, but says the evidence against him was "overwhelming."In the morgue, Maura collects samples of a sticky substance on Slater's neck. They find his blood alcohol was .18. He didn't have a broken neck, he was strangled then hung. He was murdered.Upstairs, Frost is worried about Quentin Morris, even though it wasn't his case.Slater emailed, but didn't have a cell phone. He dedicated his book to his editor, Juliet, and seemed to be in a relationship with her. She was in a sailing club and might know how to tie the noose knot.Cavanaugh busts Jane for not leading physical activities, so she makes everyone run in place.Jane and Korsak interview Juliet. Ethan called her two days ago to say the book was done -- three months late. She says they weren't really involved.Maura meditates in her office. Frost comes in with Quentin Morris' files. His DNA was found on Katrina. Maura agrees to look over the files.Frankie is worried about their mom because she's gardening.Korsak reads about a woman Slater made a suicide pact with in his book, named "Sadie." They find a man named Kevin Baker called 911 the same day Slater tried to kill himself to report his sister Tamara had slit her wrists. Kevin has a website blaming Slater.Frost and Maura go over his interview with Quentin, he swears he didn't do it. Frost relates to him because he also was one of only a few black students at an elite white prep school.On the tape, Quentin admits he and Katrina were together and says her friend Anne knew about it.On the trial tape, Anne says she saw Quentin leaving Katrina's room the night of the murder. She blames Quentin for the murder, but doesn't confirm they were together. Frost and Maura think Anne has more to tell.Jane and Korsak talk to Kevin Baker, who thinks Slater profited from his sister's death. He was working when Slater was killed.At home at night, Maura tries to help Jane meditate. They're interrupted by a disheveled Angela, coming to Maura for help. They find half-dressed Cavanaugh on her patio. He passed out from not eating -- he skipped Angela's healthy food.Jane demands answers from her mom, but gets none. Angela takes Cavanaugh home.The next day, they watch an online interview with Slater. He says "we all have to stop hiding and do the right thing. That's all I can say right now."After trying to kill himself, Slater did 90 days of rehab at Breyer Mental Health Center, run by Dr. George Breyer.Frost and Maura talk to Anne, who's very nervous. She says Quentin wasn't "one of us." She says he and Anne were involved, but she still thinks he killed her. She went to the bathroom, came back and saw Quentin leaving Anne's room.Down in the café, Cavanaugh tells Angela she's great but they shouldn't have started going out. Frankie offers to punch his lights out.Korsak finds that Breyer was supposed to go out of town, but is missing. They trace his cell phone to a construction site at the hospital and find his body. There's a torn piece of paper by his hand.In the morgue, Maura finds a sticky substance on Breyer's hands.Upstairs, they find the paper near Breyer was from a personal check. They think he was lured to the top of the roof with the promise of a pay-off.Frankie reports seven patients were at Breyer's hospital the same time as Slater.Frost checks surveillance and finds no one but Quentin entered or left Anne's dorm room. Jane and Korsak urge him to go to the prep school and look into it.Jane texts Korsak to come to the café, she wants dating advice about Cavanaugh. He says Cavanaugh lost his son and wife in a fire a long time ago and hasn't had a serious girlfriend since.Down in the lab, they look at Slater's typewriter ribbon to reconstruct his manuscript.Maura gets the lab results, ID'ing the sticky stuff as Balsam fir sap -- the same sap found on Katrina's rock climbing things. It's not found in the area, only in the Berkshires.Frost comes back with a grappling hook. He found marks from one on her dorm room window. There are photos of Katrina climbing with Bradley, he has the Slater noose knot on his ropes.They also find grappling marks on Slater's balcony. But what is the connection between Katrina, Slater and Breyer?In the lab, Maura says Slater had only recently started his manuscript. They read a line from it: "He told me after a group session while he ate a turkey sandwich, that he'd beaten Katrina to death because she cheated on him.""Bradley Palmer showed up the same day I did at Breyer Mental Health Center, but I'd take my suicide attempt over what he did. He killed his girlfriend."They think Bradley killed Slater and Breyer to keep them quiet and that Slater only just finished the manuscript because Quentin's final appeal was denied. He planned to publish the book to expose Bradley Palmer.Frost compares the check he got from Palmer's father to the scrap found near Breyer -- it looks the same.Frost, Korsak and Jane confront the Palmers, arresting them both.Later, at the bar, they expect Quentin will be home by the end of the week. Jane surprises everyone by ordering red wine instead of beer, for her health.

An unseen person assembles a sniper rifle. Elsewhere, Jane makes Maura go for a run as she heals from donating her kidney to the sister she didn't know she had. She insists she's OK with her decision, but Jane says the sister is being ungrateful. At the St. Patrick's Day parade, Frankie shows his mom the motorcycle he just bought. Angela tells Maura she's worried about her. Frankie announces he's getting promoted to detective. Maura offers to help him fix his bike. Senator Malcolm Humphrey and his daughter Erica go by in a convertible in the parade. She won his seat in the state senate. The sniper takes aim from a window above and shoots Erica Humphrey in the head. Frankie and Jane spring into action and go up to the room where the shot came from. The victim's sister shows up at the scene with Erica's young child in a carrier.Jane doesn't think they're looking for a pro, the shooter threw up after firing. Later, in the morgue, Maura is still bummed she hasn't gotten a thank you from her mother for donating her kidney, even though she told her mom not to contact her. The victim, Erica Humphrey, has a five day old wound on her shoulder that could be from barbed wire. Upstairs, they review the victim. Her sister, Jennifer, who showed up just after she was shot at the parade, was her chief of staff. Maura comes up to report the bullet fragmented so she can't trace it. Maura asks to talk to Jane. She finally admits to herself that she's bummed about not hearing from her mom and she wants to know if her sister Cailin is taking care of her kidney. Suzy the lab tech comes up to report finding blueberries in the victim's stomach, matching the blueberry waffles in the shooter's vomit. They had breakfast together. They wonder if her husband Jeff Miller could have killed her. He got mocked as a house husband when she won. Lt. Cavanaugh asks Jane how Angela is doing and says to give her his best. At Erica's office, Jeff addresses Erica's staff. Jane and Frost think he sounds like he's running for office. He thinks his wife was killed because she was backing environmental legislation. He shows them a threat she received. Jeff and Jennifer don't know about Erica's breakfast meeting. Her calendar says "THT." Tomorrow's entry says "Deliver GBS."Jeff was at their kid's soccer game when his wife was shot. He refuses to give a cheek swab. Frost finds four bottles of dirty water in bottles under the sister's desk. Maura meets Jane and they spy on Cailin getting coffee; she sees them. Jane forces Maura to go talk to her. Cailin apologizes to Maura for how she treated her and thanks her for the kidney -- she guessed it was from her. She gives Maura a package and asks if she can text her some time. Maura opens the package, it's a scrimshaw (whale bone) necklace that her mob father Paddy Doyle gave to her mother, Hope. Back at the office, Frost and Jane look into a website, Stop Bad People. Korsak reports the bullet was a.22.Jane finds Maura hanging upside-down on a gravity inverter in her office. She's worried about her father's impending murder trial. In interrogation, Korsak, Frost and Jane talk to Ishmael, the young, nervous, nerdy man who runs the website. He says he was hired to harass Erica Miller online, but he doesn't know by whom. Later, Frost says soccer parents only remember seeing Jeff Miller at the beginning and end of the game. Jane sets Frankie on figuring out where Erica had breakfast. Maura reports the dirty water was well water mixed with soil. Her hard drive had test results from soil in Reedville. Jane and Maura run to Jane's place to check on her dog and she finds Casey on her doorstep. He's walking again with braces. He was misdiagnosed originally and they opened him up and found shrapnel pressing against his spine. Maura runs off, leaving Casey to walk Jane's dog with her. Casey tells her PTSD kept him from contacting her sooner. He kisses her and they head back to her place and get in bed. He stops, telling her he wants them to be in love before they go any further. In the morning, Casey tells Jane he's going back to Afghanistan for a few months to give training in virtual therapy for combat soldiers. He wants to try again with her when he gets back. In the office, Maura talks Jane out of looking for reasons to be scared about getting involved with Casey. Maura gets results that there was dirt from Reedville in Erica's wound. Jane checks in with Frankie, who gives her the name of a diner in Reedville that serves blueberry pancakes. Jane drags Maura with her to check it out. The waitress tells them something is poisoning the children in town. The Honeysuckle Battery company is in town. Maura found Hairy Honeysuckle pollen in Erica's wound; it lines the factory barbed wire fence. They think she snuck in. Maura says battery toxins could be carried home as "Take Home Toxins" by the workers -- or THT like Erica wrote in her calendar.

A college student waiting for her friend sees what looks like a guy selling drugs. She approaches him.Cut to him dunking her repeatedly in an industrial sink in a warehouse until she quits thrashing. At the station, Frankie is dressed up like a biker in the hopes of getting assigned an undercover case faster. They have a new boss in DCU, Rafiel Martinez. Jane isn't exactly happy to see him, but Korsak is. Jane and Rafi have history. Jane and Maura are called to a crime scene at the beach, where the body washed up. Jane wants to get the body to wash out more so it's in BPD territory. She hates Bob Thatcher with the State Police, one of the men on the scene. They think they're going to have to share jurisdiction until Jane claims she sees an endangered horseshoe crab. When the state police go look, Korsak and Frost drag the body into the surf and get jurisdiction. Maura looks over the young woman's body and can tell she was drowned. Back in the morgue, Jane explains she and Rafi had to play a couple when they worked in the drug unit. She was hoping to never see him again. They got her CI killed, then they had a falling out and he took an assignment with a federal task force. That was eight years ago and she hasn't seen him since. Maura's half-sister Cailin comes by. She tells them scary men in suits came by their house last night and they seemed pissed. They asked about Hope's charity MEND and threatened her. She asks Maura to talk to her and says Hope is planning to move back to London, but Cailin doesn't want to go. Later, Maura reports the unidentified victim drowned in rain water, not the ocean. At lunch, Jane drags Maura to see her mom at a MEND clinic. Jane runs into a woman she once arrested, Shondra, who is now a nurse. She credits Jane with getting her off drugs and getting her to finish nursing school. Hope tells Maura the men who were at the house were accountants. She says Cailin wants to move back to London. Jane doesn't believe a word she says. Frost calls Jane to report the victim has been ID'd as Brenda Thomas, 20, a Psi Beta Tau. Jane notices someone following them, but says nothing to Maura. She goes to visit Maura's father Paddy Doyle in prison, telling him to call his goons off. But they're not his. It's the FBI and they're following Maura. Jane calls Agent Dean, her ex, who tells her the FBI organized crime division is investigating MEND and Hope and Jane thinks Paddy knows why. Hope started MEND 20 years ago when Paddy was a fugitive. Jane tells Maura she's being followed, too, but says there's nothing she can do about it. Korsak and Frost go through the victim's room and find cocaine. Brenda's friend Rachel says Brenda didn't do drugs, her brother OD'd. She studied all the time, to be an investigative reporter. Her advisor was Tyrell Feeney, but she called him Touchy Feeney. At the station, Korsak finds Feeney owns a boat. He's an adjunct professor and former reporter. Jane and Frost talk to Feeney, who says he doesn't know what Brenda was investigating. At the station, Frankie is mad at Jane that his new boss Martinez apparently has a grudge against Rizzolis. Korsak urges Jane to fix it. Maura tells them she found saline, fish gills and tin the water in the girl's lungs. They look up abandoned warehouses near the harbor and find seven. They find the crime scene at one of the warehouses. Frost finds a wireless microphone crushed on the ground, which matches the adhesive they found on the victim's chest. Frost accesses her audio files stored on the cloud through her computer. One of them has sounds of her being killed. Back at the station, Jane finds Martinez's business card folded up among Brenda's things. It says "Cricket" on the back. Jane goes straight to him and accuses him of getting another CI killed -- "Cricket" is his safety word. He says she wasn't his CI, but interviewed him for her story about drug dealing. Jane blames him for her death. He says they already picked up the guy from the buy Brenda made for him and they're trying to get him to make an introduction to one of his undercovers: Frankie. Jane worries he's going to get her brother killed. Jane and Maura go for a drink at the Dirty Robber and find it made over and serving tofu burgers.Jane tells Maura that years ago she got her CI killed, not Martinez. Eight Years AgoJane sends a young woman named Yolanda in to make a drug buy. She can hear the dealer get suspicious, but Martinez makes her wait a second. Then Yolanda says "Cricket!" They hear shots. They run to her, but they're too late. Back at the station, Frost plays a recording of Brenda asking a dealer to introduce her with his supplier. Cailin texts Maura: the Feds just left Hope's house. Maura breaks into file storage to go through Paddy Doyle's files. Hope visited the grave she thought belonged to Maura every year, but Maura thinks that wasn't what she was really doing. The scrimshaw necklace Cailin gave Maura can't be from the year Cailin said it was because it's of a bridge with a secret tunnel in Sarajevo, where Hope was doing relief work in 1993. It's called the Tunnel of Hope. Paddy was a fugitive then, she thinks they met up there. Hope started MEND thanks to a $2.5 million donation from an anonymous donor in 1993. They think Hope took Paddy's dirty money. Jane and Maura sit down with Hope and the financial statements for MEND. Hope claims she doesn't know who gave her the start-up money. Jane asks Hope if she was laundering money for Paddy. Hope wants to talk to Paddy. "I need to make this stop," she says. The three of them visit Paddy. Paddy says his father would have killed Hope and Maura if he'd known Maura was alive as a baby. Maura says he has a chance to protect them both by pleading guilty. "You know I'd kill for either of you, but I will never plead guilty," he says. In Maura's office, they get a report of transmission fluid from where they found the body and on the crushed microphone.Frost checks vehicle maintenance records for the State Police and finds one of their cars was leaking. They head to arrest the state trooper on campus and invite Martinez to come. He calls someone to keep him on campus. Frankie rolls his bike to block Bob Thatcher from leaving. Jane, Martinez and Frost pull their guns as Thatcher puts his to Frankie's head. Jane worries something terrible is about to happen. But Frankie wheels around, disarms Thatcher and knocks his bike over onto him. Jane and Rafi seem to forgive each other. Genial banter ensues.
