They learn from William Chen that Peters was a material witness for the Crown in the homicide case against Roy Willetts.

Kosmo later also learns from Sue that someone is selling merchandise purchased with Sarah Peters' credit card. That someone is Dennis Lucas, who Kosmo and Leary pick up. Lucas admits that he knows who killed Sarah, but that the killer was hired by Roy's mother, Tammy. Lucas plea bargains - he'll help Kosmo and Leary trap Tammy into confessing. Meanwhile, Da Vinci and Shannon investigate the death of William Mattucci, who was found dead of stab wounds to the chest. According to his wife, he had a history of attempted suicides; the knife in his hand would indicate he took his own life. By circumstance, Constable Thurman notices blood stains in the bathroom of the Mattucci's downstairs tenant, Lena Whelan. The blood stains end up being more than meets the eye, which Whelan knows as she runs off during the investigation. The authorities find Whelan, who tells a story of domestic problems both in the Mattucci household and her own household which led to Mattucci's accidental death. Elsewhere, Da Vinci speaks to Joan Hanes, a witness in Darcy Charles' assault. Sue continues to assist Kosmo and Leary on the sting against Curtis.

- Within an abandoned car parked in a loading zone in a back alley across the street from the police station, Laura Maitland's dead body is found inside the trunk. Although the cause of her death may have been by the hands of her alleged stalker, certain evidence points to the death being self-induced: she may have placed herself in a tenuous position in the likelihood that she would be found before dying. Under Curtis' blackmail, Pierce publicly does not endorse the concept of a red light district, which causes Da Vinci to go on a tirade against Pierce. Despite their previous bad history, Brenda implies that she's going to help Da Vinci find out why Pierce had a change of heart. Kelly offers his support by not publicly endorsing the concept since it would allow Da Vinci the full resources of the office in dealing with the issue. Meanwhile, Da Vinci and Kosmo investigate what looks to be a murder-suicide of an infant by its mother, the mother found by a distraught old boyfriend. Kosmo and Sue make amends. Two suspects are picked up in the gas station robberies. Da Vinci has news for the Shoeshine about his friend, Lamont. And Da Vinci and his mother mark the third anniversary of his father's death.
- For twenty years, Farris Dunlap has been threatened by Wendell Quinn, who believes Dunlap killed his brother, Roger. Dunlap denies even knowing the Quinn brothers. The latest round of threats started when Quinn was released from prison, he being there for manslaughter. This threat includes the mailing of a severed finger to Dunlap. On the flip side, Quinn states that Roger was a police informant who witnessed some wrong-doing by Dunlap. Just as Roger was supposed to testify, Wendell received the severed finger, which he knows belongs to his brother due to a scar. Roger's body was never found. Shannon and Williams speak to Clayton Hurley, the cop who led that case twenty years ago. After speaking to all involved, Shannon and Williams have a strong impression of who actually killed Roger Quinn. Da Vinci wants to hold an inquest into Darcy Charles' death. Because the autopsy came back as inconclusive, Da Vinci needs some material witnesses or some evidence of complaint by Charles herself. She never filed a police complaint but luckily did with lawyer, Phil Rosen. In reality, he wants to use this case as leverage both for pushing the issue of the safe injection site, and to bolster his run for the Chief of Police position. Kosmo and Leary set up the the beginnings of the sting on Curtis. They ask Sue to re-instigate her friendship with him so that she can monitor his movements. She does so as well as provides direct information and evidence of drug dealing by Curtis and Rick Prentice. They also decide to get to Councillor Pierce through Da Vinci. And Da Vinci investigates the death of a man found hanging within in the overhead stove exhaust of a restaurant kitchen.
- The boyfriend of one of Taylor's informants is washed ashore Burrard Inlet, dead, after what looks to be a drug deal gone bad. However, the informant says that a dirty cop is involved, which Taylor has no reason to doubt. Kosmo suspects she knows who the cop is, which she has yet to divulge. She asks Kurtz to stay on this "cop chasing" case, which Kurtz cautions. Leary, Shannon and Williams investigate a gas station robbery, which resulted in the death of the clerk. There have been a string of gas station robberies, this one being the first involving a death. Viewing the surveillance video, Williams does recognize the still unknown perpetrators as those that have committed the other robberies. Shannon doesn't appreciate William's involvement as he thinks she's muscling in on their territory. Shannon is correct in that Williams lets Kurtz know that she'd like to be considered for promotion to Homicide. In the ongoing investigation of the Moorehouse house fire, Moorehouse's former in-laws, Richard and Barbara Westerbrook, ask Da Vinci to reopen the investigation in their daughter's death. Apparently they have new information from a witness about the case. And as they dig deeper into the current investigation, red flags are raised about the suspicious nature of the latest fire. Elsewhere, Councillor Jack Pierce has been seen entering a known drug house where prostitutes work. This information does not bode well for Da Vinci, since Pierce is the only political ally on Council working for prostitutes' rights and a Red Light Zone, an issue near to Da Vinci's heart.

Once Da Vinci hears the name of Gus Cook, the ring doctor, he immediately thinks the good doctor may have been involved in the death. Da Vinci previously pulled Cook's license for malpractice. Shannon and Williams investigate a dead body found in the middle of a field. The body was dumped there. They suspect that a gray sedan seen in the vicinity has something to do with the death. Once they find the deceased's wallet, they at least find where the man was killed.

They are working on a case of a gunshot dead body washed ashore by the port, his face covered with a seven tentacled octopus. They discover he is Lawrence Brownfield, an American journalist. He apparently was working on a story about the drug trade and drug smuggling in and out of Vancouver. Shannon and Donna piece together the story and if it was somebody on the drug side of things who was not too happy about the story who killed him. Kosmo and Leary start their investigation on Rick Prentice's death, knowing in their hearts that Curtis is the murderer. Curtis threatens Sue to pin the murder on either her or Councilor Pierce.

Despite these maneuverings, Curtis is feeling the pressure and is on the verge of a total meltdown. Kosmo and Leary don't yet have a solid case against Curtis but stumble across a stash of possible evidence in a garage Curtis is renting and in which he is storing many of his secret possessions.
