Go To

While Rush and Valens leave Philadelphia to find Rush's missing sister Christina, Jeffries gets a lead in the 1993 murder of Wanda Johnson, a 15-year-old girl who was shot to death and dumped in a seedy part of the city. He and team work on the case, hoping to fulfill the promise he made to her mother to find the killer.

Tropes:

  • Babies Ever After: The episode—and series—concludes with Lily discovering that she's an aunt upon finding her sister's baby girl.
  • Big Sister Instinct: Despite all the problems they've had, Lily goes all out to rescue her sister and upon seeing how badly she's been beaten, is ready to kill her abusive boyfriend—"How could you do that to my sister?!"—before Scotty talks her out of it.
  • Happy Ending: Jeffries finally solves Wanda Johnson's murder and Lilly and Scotty rescue Christina from her abusive boyfriend bring her and her baby to Philadelphia.
  • Left Hanging: With this being the series finale, a lot of plot threads from the season and from the episode were left this way.
  • Off-into-the-Distance Ending: The final scene is of Scotty driving along a highway back to Philadelphia with Lily, Christina, and the baby in the backseat.
