Episode notes
Mickey survives a murder attempt and uncovers a courthouse corruption scheme run by Judge Mary Holder, who orchestrated the murder of Jerry Vincent and tried to kill Mickey when he got too close. Meanwhile, Mickey's investigator Lorna tracks down witness Gloria Dayton in Las Vegas, whose testimony exposes corrupt detectives who framed Jesús Menendez for a murder he didn't commit. Trevor Elliott is shot dead by Carol Dubois at a press event, eliminating him as a suspect in the conspiracy.
The corruption reveal destroys Maggie's year-long case against human trafficker Angelo Soto since her star witness Detective Lankford was exposed as corrupt, permanently ending her relationship with Mickey. You'll understand how Mickey's redemption for his greatest professional failure came at the cost of everything personal, why courthouse corruption is uniquely devastating to the justice system, and how the finale sets up unresolved threats with the real tattooed killer still watching from the shadows.
