- Linden and Holder finally find out who murdered Rosie Larsen.
- With evidence from the video surveillance cameras at the casino, Linden and Holder set out to arrest Rosie's killer. It leads to a confrontation, a confession and a death. Linden isn't entirely satisfied with the outcome however as there are still a number of unanswered questions including who picked up Ames at his home in the early hours of the morning Rosie died. The Larsens meanwhile have decided to move into their new home. They're busy packing having come to some degree of closure on the death of their daughter. When Linden and Holder visit them to reveal what has happened, the final clue - and the identity of Rosie's killer - is revealed.—garykmcd
- On the morning of Rosie's murder, Rosie plays with her brothers while Mitch talks about the family's trip. On her way out Rosie spots Stan on the phone. She thinks about saying goodbye, but he's very involved in his business conversation, so she leaves.
Linden and Holder meet Gwen at campaign headquarters. She tells them Jamie and Richmond are both gone and not answering their cell phones. The three of them leave and get in the police vehicle together.
In Jamie's grandfather's living room, the old man is asking him why his boss has been telling lies about him during speeches. He then tells Jamie he knows where Jamie was the night "that girl" got killed. Jamie says he'll drive Richmond.
Gwen gets a call from Richmond's driver. Linden and Holder realize they are going to Jamie's place.
Jamie has taken him to a rooftop and tells him he's just heard from a pollster than they've won. Adams will concede shortly. Richmond asks why Jamie lied about where he was the night of Rosie's murder. He presses Jamie about what happened that night and he admits to planting the Native American bones at the waterfront site. Richmond asks about Rosie and Jamie eventually yells "It was an accident!"
Flash back to that night and the conversation between Jamie, Jackson and Ames on the tenth floor of the casino. On his way out Jamie hears a cell' 'phone ring. He finds Rosie and the two argue. Jamie pushes her and she hits her head.
Back in the present, Jamie tells Richmond he panicked. Richmond points out that Rosie was alive when she went into the water. Jamie places a gun on the table and Richmond asks "what are you doing with my gun?" Jamie says Rosie got out of the car and ran into the woods. He thought the campaign had gone too far to let her get away. Jamie says "I was only thinking of you" and tells Richmond that he's really not as good a person as he wants the voters to believe.
Linden, Holder and Gwen arrive at Jamie's place just as Jamie starts talking about how far Richmond can go. Jamie tells Richmond "I know you'll do the right thing, Mr. Mayor," then turns his gun on the cops. We hear a shot and Gwen starts weeping. Holder has killed Jamie.
Later at the scene we learn that the gun Jamie held was empty it was a "suicide by cop!"
Stan walks into Rosie's room and sees Mitch packing up her things. He helps his wife.
The case against Jamie seems to be solid. Jackson and Ames are going to be charged with obstruction, but nothing else. Linden points out to Carlson that Jamie made a call to Ames that night and talks about the car with the missing taillight. Carlson doesn't think there is a case to be made against Ames.
Stan and Mitch show the boys the new house. Mitch says she's okay with moving in a few weeks.
Gwen finds Richmond working on a press release. She tells him he was the reason they won and he shouldn't worry about spinning the Jamie angle. They embrace.
The next day Richmond wheels himself into the empty council chambers. Adams walks in and congratulates him on being able to win the Mayor's office his first try. He tells him he has the makings of a great leader.
While packing, Stan and Mitch reflect on sentimental aspects of the home. Terry shows up and an emotional Mitch says that because she was so busy packing for the camping trip, she didn't "see" Rosie on that fatal day.
Richmond spends time at his wife's grave. Gwen calls with word that the press has been hounding them. He says "I think it's time to move on."
In the woods with Holder, Linden doesn't seem satisfied. They leave to tell the Larsens.
At the Larsen's place Linden and Holder run into Terry, who says Stan and Mitch are out. They tell Terry "We got him." Terry tells them about the new house and walks inside. Looking around, Linden notices a broken taillight on Terry's car. Upstairs in Rosie's room, Linden confronts Terry about being there that night. Terry had picked Ames up that night and they were going to the airport when he got a call about a "girl in the woods."
Mitch and Stan walk into the room and the detectives tell them that they should go. Terry begins to cry and Linden says "Don't do this, not here." Terry is weeping and says "I didn't know. I didn't know what to do."
Flashback to Terry sitting in her car and listening to Jamie and Ames argue about what to do with this girl in the car. We see Terry get out of Ames' car, put the campaign car into drive and send it into the lake. We can hear the screams of Rosie, who is still alive in the trunk.
In present day Terry says "I didn't know. I didn't know it was Rosie." Stan rushes to get at Terry, but Holder stops him. Terry collapses into Mitch, who initially holds her but then lets go, looking stunned.
Linden and Holder sit in a darkened office at the station. Terry is being transported to County and doesn't want a lawyer. Holder gives her back her badge. An officer walks in with Rosie's film. Linden leaves to watch it.
Early the next morning Gwen is surprised to see Richmond in the office. Jackson walks in for a meeting and makes reference to Richmond making some charges go away. Ames is also at the meeting and Gwen doesn't seem thrilled by the group.
The boys wake up Stan and Mitch with word that somebody dropped off a video. It is Rosie's film. The family watches it. She talks about wanting to see the world and how much she loves her family. Her plan seems to have been to return after seeing the world.
Holder and Linden get a call about another murder. Linden gets out of the car, apparently resigning her position with homicide. She walks away as the season ends.
