At her Sweet 16, the birthday girl complains about a pervert waiter who is working that she once dated. She wants him gone. As the DJ is about to bring her on stage, a woman named Ella, the step-mother, falls from several floors up and dead into the pool. Everyone runs to get a look.
Liz arrives at work. No one is talking to her. They surprise her second later – she has been promoted. They all plan to celebrate. They get a call. Liz meets with Dylan at the Sweet 16 crime scene. Dylan talks to several female partygoers while Liz talks to the waiter. Liz and Dylan talk to the birthday girl, Alex, and her father. Alex mentions her mother did stop by but left quickly.
They talk to Ella’s friend Molly who was at the party next. She talks about Ella’s talents as a cook and how she cared for her new husband and stepdaughter. Dylan notices the pool she fell in. The fish are dead. Maybe she introduced a toxin to them. Maybe she was poisoned?
At the coroner’s office, they look over her body. Her face has trauma. Nothing has shown up on her toe screen. Could it have been make-up? Alex’s mom did give her daughter her make-up before leaving.
Dylan and Liz head to speak to Alex’s mom. She isn’t happy Ella is dead but her ex and his new wife did make their world all about money.
Liz gets word that something was in the make-up on Ella’s face. Meanwhile, Dylan gets annoyed when a GIF of him makes the rounds on social media. Liz tells him he cannot control it.
Dylan can’t help but think the teenagers had something to do with Ella’s death. Maybe Alex is behind it? They head to her house after finding social media posts of her bashing her step-mom. She tells them that her best friend Kim did it. At first, she didn’t like her step-mom but grew to like her. Kim, on the other hand, acted angrily. Maybe because Alex left her behind because of Ella?
After some digging. Dylan and Liz wonder if Molly, Ella’s friend, could have killed her. Ella did leave the culinary world and marry into wealth, leaving Molly behind. Dylan thinks maybe Molly poisoned her with an apple. They head to talk to Molly. They check her right hand. She has blisters, consistent with the poison from the fruit she used. She confesses.
Liz moves out of her new office and back to general seating. She doesn’t like it alone. Later, Dylan and his partner talk about adoption. They meet the gang at the bar to celebrate Liz. Stock and Dylan take off to meet with a person of interest on a rooftop. Liz hopes Jules will show up at the bar. When they arrive on the rooftop they find a picture of their person of interest. He is dead. The killer is toying with them.
THE END!
