Go To

Teenage Christina Osborne is murdered. The DA's office seeks to prosecute a white supremacist who may have voiced ideas that lead to her murder.

Tropes present

  • Abusive Offspring: Anita picks up on the meek, timid demeanor of a suspect's mother and quietly asks her, "Does he hit you?" The woman confirms this in the typical "It's my fault" manner of many domestic violence victims—"If I get in the way."
  • Continuity Nod: Danny Jones, who murdered Briscoe's daughter, is found dead in this episode.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Christina Osborne invites a Jewish classmate to a rally for white supremacists.
  • I Just Want to Have Friends: Christina. She is so desperate she even attends a rally despite not being a supremacists herself.
  • Karma Houdini Warranty: Briscoe learns that Danny Jones, his daughter's murderer, has passed away, allegedly from a heroin overdose. The viewer never finds out whether or not Briscoe took up the previously-offered Deal with the Devil to have him killed.
