Summary: Mac and Stella investigate a murder of a host of a high stakes poker
game after a player was caught cheating and kicked out of the game.
While Danny and Hawkes follow the clues that’ll lead them to solve the
death of a weather girl.
We start off at a poker game- four guys who seem to know each other well. One guy is doing
very well. We see the dealer dealing from the second card, dealing seconds. The guys throw blows
and they throw the cheater out of the room. One guy shouts if he sees their face again he dies.
The door bell rings, and the guy who made the die comment checks it out. he looks through the
peep hole to see a rifle barrel at eye level- and BOOM he gets shot. Mac and Flack are on the
scene. Mac notices the amount of money and comments on it. Stella arrives on scene and she
looks through the giant hole in the door. Mac notes it looks like their vic, Joel, broke his hand
on the ”shooter’s” face. Stella finds a cigar and bags it, Flack mentions the shooter smoked that
cigar. Stella sees the game and notes how it wasn’t just a small game. She asks if they continued
playing, which they didn’t. she notes that the blinds were 500 and 250 and the cards were just
dealt. Mac wonders where the gun was, and thinks in the hallway maybe? He doesn’t see who
comes to a game with a shot gun. Outside the doorway Mac and Flack see blood spot on the floor.
It’s blood mixed with saliva. They look up and see a blood smear on the wall. They head to it, and
notice directionality and follow where it leads, following in the beaten up kid’s footsteps. We hear
people with their peep holes. Mac sees blood on a door which leads to a trash chute. The chute’s
handle has blood on it. Mac is outside and asks Lindsay, who is sifting through the garbage,
if she has anything. She is looking. Flack is questioning some tenants of the building. The guy
says he heard the shot, then when Flack asks if he called 911 he says ”no, why?” Lindsay finds
a jacket that has been dumped with blood on it. She hands it to Mac and goes back to search.
Back to Flack knocking on a woman’s door, who ignores the fact he’s a cop and berates him
for waking her up at 3 am. Lindsay is back with the dumpster and found a shotgun. We see
Danny and Hawkes in Central Park with a dead weather girl, Tara Stanfield in the park. It seems
like she came from work or an assignment. A jogger found her about an hour ago. No signs of
robbery or sexual assault, or strangulation. Danny finds yellow trace on her hands, and he notes
no damage to the nails. Danny notices her coat is damp. Lividity ion the face put time of death
