Storyline

Brenda finds herself investigating a case under Commander Taylor's jurisdiction courtesy of Lieutenants Flynn and Provenza. In a hurry to get to a Dodgers game where they have skybox seats, they open Provenza's garage door to find a dead woman lying on the floor. Somewhat unwisely, to say the least, they decides to go the game and take care of it afterward but on their return, find that her body has been removed. They compound their poor judgment when they tell Commander Taylor - who has found the woman in a park and is processing the area as a crime scene - that under orders from Chief Brenda Johnson, they are taking over the case. With Taylor on the warpath and Pope wondering if she has lost her mind, Brenda and the team investigate the woman's death unofficially while trying to keep the details Flynn and Provenza's activities under wraps.
