* CompleteMonster: [[DirtyCop Detective Driscoll]], at first appearing to be a TokenGoodTeammate to his corrupt task force, turns out to be the [[BigBad kingpin]] behind various gang and criminal activity. His EvilPlan is to build a casino in Wonderland which he will use as a front for his drug-trafficking operation. When Gloria Weisnewski forms a rally against the construction, Driscoll hires Tracksuit Charlie to torment her into silence, escalating to [[DeadAnimalWarning killing her cat and nailing the poor creature to her door]]. When that doesn't work, the Trinitaro gang beat Gloria to death on Driscoll's orders. Knowing Spenser would get in the way, Driscoll orders a hit on him during his last day in jail. Driscoll kills Captain Boylan after he rats out their operation and kills Terrance Graham, pinning Boylan's death on him in a "murder-suicide" cover story. Taking Henry hostage, he threatens his life in exchange for the drug shipment Spenser took from him.
