When "The Closer" came to a close, doors opened for the detectives in the Los Angeles Police Department's Major Crimes Division, with the biggest opportunity presented to Capt. Sharon Raydor. The captain is now the boss, taking over a department that hasn't forgotten her history of internal investigations targeting them and their former boss, Deputy Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson. As Raydor attempts to mend fences and gain the trust and confidence of her detectives -- her biggest foe in that regard is Lt. Provenza -- she leads a unit that works more closely than Johnson ever did with other police and prosecutors to build airtight cases.

An officer-involved shooting leaves two policemen dead; the unit must work with Fritz Howard; Rusty tries to secretly gather information on the Alice case.

Major Crimes and the FBI team up to track down a sniper who turned a peaceful ceremony deadly; Raydor negotiates a deal.

The pregnant wife of a film director is found murdered; Deputy D.A. Emma Rios challenges Raydor's intentions as Rusty's guardian.

A complex case has the department reeling; Emma demands that Rusty be relocated after he receives a threatening letter.
