Storyline

The squad investigates the murder of Greg Jensen a brew master and the CEO of Overlord Ale who was found dead in his test kitchen. He appears to have been killed with a spear, something Maura confirms when she finds the metal spear tip inside his chest. The police have a lead when they learn that Clark "Skullcrusher" West, head of a motorcycle club, had lost a lawsuit against Jensen for having stolen their club logo and using it in a beer ad. Maura finds some DNA that leads them down a different path and into the world of online gaming. Meanwhile, Angela is doing her best to make Lt. Cavanaugh jealous and Jane and Maura act as mentors for some street kids brought in by Rondo. When the fire alarm goes off unexpectedly and they evacuate the building, Angela realizes her wallet has been stolen.

Maura states that the runic alphabet "...predates Latin." She is wrong. The earliest runic inscriptions appeared around 300 CE, more than 1,000 years after the founding of the city of Rome.
