Plot
In this episode, Detective Wheeler and her new partner, Detective Zack Nichols, investigate when a young hipster is found stabbed to death in a neighborhood, where ethnic tensions are rising. As they delve into the world of artists with big dreams, they initially suspect it had something to do with some the neighborhood he lives in. However, during their investigation, another victim is found pushed from an elevator shaft and they soon realize the victim’s death is connected to something more personal. After cornering the prime suspects Nichols unveils it was their band manager who killed the first victim out of jealousy towards a girl and then influenced another member to commit the second murder for the same reason.
