Former model Christine Sandler is found dead by the neighbor hosting a birthday party for her. Despite her having epilepsy, her death was not due to a seizure. Blood at the scene is shown to belong to a blood relative of Christine, so Briscoe and Curtis look into her son Douglas Burke. When the detectives take a closer look at her finances to see if Douglas killed her for money, a canceled check leads them to discover Christine had another child: Sonja Harlann, a daughter she gave up for adoption.
