Storyline

Brenda Lee Johnson and the squad investigate the apparent drive-by shooting of three students where two are killed. The shooting occurred in a gang-dominated area of Los Angeles and the shooting itself isn't out of place as much as the car itself and the apparently middle class teenage victims. Brenda is convinced that the driver must have had some connection to gangs but Commander Taylor, who knows the young man's father, assures her he was a good kid. The team soon finds evidence leading them to the shooters but one that also implicates either the young man or his parents. Meanwhile, Fritz finds himself showing Brenda's mother, Willie Ray, around Los Angeles on his own despite Brenda's promise to take time off.
