With Bayliss working alone and Kellerman taking time off, Pembleton and Lewis reluctantly partner up to work the bludgeoning death of a wealthy middle aged woman. They concentrate on her brother, but the case stalls when he claims that her diamond ring has been stolen by the police. Cox realizes that victims' jewelry has gone missing in several other cases, so she and Brodie set up cameras in the morgue to catch the thief - one of her staff members, who is quickly fired and arrested. Mary suggests that she and Pembleton seek marriage counseling without success, then later asks Bayliss to resume working with him; Bayliss tries to do so, but Pembleton declines.
