Stivers' record at the limo company show he should have been booked all day, with no time to see Sharon. [=McCoy=] and Kincaid intend to prove premeditation by showing he recorded at least one fake "job" as cover. They discover Scannell is a regular client and regularly requests Stivers for airport runs - as a cover for moving drugs. When Soames mentions Sharon telling a story about a guy showing her a car trunk full of cocaine, [=McCoy=] confronts Stivers with the real motive for the murder. He slipped up by showing Sharon the drugs, and Scannell ordered she be killed to keep her quiet.

Sharon's murder now carries the death penalty as the murder of a witness. [=McCoy=] offers a plea to either Scannell or Stivers, whoever flips first. Stivers is resentful and says Scannell forced him to kill Sharon, otherwise he ''and'' Sharon would be murdered. Stivers accepts a 25-year plea for murder and Scannell will presumably be executed.

This episode begins with a purse snatcher being chased down and arrested by beat cops. When searching the thief’s stash, the cops find a bloodstained purse and call for homicide investigators. Briscoe and Curtis determine that the purse belonged to an upcoming model Sharon Laskp.

An investigation into Lasko uncovers a bunch of shady associates. There is the club owner who is a suspected drug dealer but who has somehow never done anything he can be arrested for. There is her drug-using basketball player casual boyfriend. There is the sleazy photographer who likes to get a little too up close and personal. [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg And then there is her limo driver.]]

Further investigation reveals that Sharon had a drug habit and her limo driver seems to be her supplier. And that the limo driver had an unrequited crush on her. When the detectives find a “shrine” to Sharon in the limo driver’s home, they zero in on him and arrest him.

The theory of the crime was a classic [[IfICantHaveYou murder due to jealousy]] but the limo driver’s defense attorney spins this into a claim of “extreme emotional distress” claiming that Sharon Lesko was a cock tease who used him a little too much, till he snapped. She even spins a lot of gathered evidence to support this theory, even getting Briscoe to concede that some of her behavior towards her driver can be reasonably interpreted as displays of affection.

However, a discrepancy in the limo driver’s job bookings vs actual trips may uncover a more sinister motive for capital murder - along with new suspects.
