Chen is looking up previous owners of her adopted daughter’s new car that was found with drugs in it when the name jake Butler comes up, they look at his mug shot, he looks exactly like Bradford. Chen and Bradford go out to find the guy and when they do, the looks are uncanny.
Nolan is on patrol with Gabby Navar from the Frontera police department, they are in the car and getting to know each other. She tells him that she looks him up, he has done some pretty cool cases. They arrive at a station that looks more like a diner. Navar gets a call, it is a bar fight that they both have to attend to.
Chen tells Bradford that maybe he was separated at birth from Jake and she can’t stop laughing. They meet with jake in an interrogation room, Tim tells him about the drugs and that if he doesn’t talk, he is going back to prison. He says he was supposed to deliver the drugs to Roy Hajek. Chen loves this, Hajek never met Jake, so Bradford could go undercover as him.
Nolan and Navar arrive at the bar, the Benedict brothers are fighting ad she shouts at them to knock it off. Doug needs surgery, he had a piece of glass in his face. Next, they stop by the side of the road where a car is broken down. Pete is there and starts running away, Chastity is dating his half-brother. Pete says he is there because Nolan invited him.
Bradford is undercover, driving the car filled with drugs, and arrives at a meeting place with the buyer. One guy takes the car and leaves, backup follows him while Chen is taking the stairs up the building with another backup to cover Bradford who is meeting with the buyer. The buyer offers him another job, tomorrow, and he will triple the amount he owes him. And, he tells him to bring his old lady, he heard she is fast.
Nolan and Navar stop another vehicle, this one has a shady guy inside who apologizes for driving like a bat out of hell. He says he was mugged at a gas station forty miles out and doesn’t have an ID. Nolan sees a gun, and doesn’t like the way Nava handled it, he tells her that she risked her life and his. At the station, Nolan throws the guy in jail who says his name is John Smith. Navar is going to stay there, and Nolan is leaving for the night.
They pick up Jake’s girlfriend Juicy and Chen looks a lot like her, Tim says her name is juicy, and guess who is going undercover.
At the motel has arrived, the women are in a sort of hot tub that is supposed to be a swimming pool.
Chen and Bradford meet to talk about the case to make sure they are on the same page when they go undercover together. They decide to kiss so that if they have to do it undercover it will not be the first time. He kisses her and she says is that it. Then she grabs him and gives him a real kiss.
Nolan is sleeping, he wakes up and tells Bailey that he is going to go and relieve his rookie. The next day, Bradford tells Chen they need to practice their backstory more because they go undercover.
Harper tells Grey that she has to go on maternity leave but when she returns she wants to be with the detectives, namely Lope.
At the station, turns out that John Smith is Blair Darvill, the number one on the most wanted list, for weapons trafficking, and murder. Darvill tells him that his guys are looking for him and they should really let him go before they get there. A man comes in and offers Nolan a bribe, he refuses it and the man shows his gun, then more show up with more and bigger guns. The man tells Nolan last chance and he replies right back at you. The man goes outside and calls his people, he says they are going to war, take it down. Bailey calls Nolan and he tells her to get out of town, she tells him they are cutting down the cell tower, then they are cut off.
All of a sudden, the guys outside start firing, everyone inside hits the floor. Bailey arrives at the motel, she runs out ad calls Pete, telling him to wake up but he doesn’t hear her. A truck pulls up with two people and more ammunition at the motel. Meanwhile, Nolan is trying to do his best to hold off the men in front of the station but is having a hard time figuring out what they are doing. One guy makes it inside and jumps Nolan.
At the motel Bailey has made herself scarce when she says the people coming with guns, she tries to jump on and fights him for his gun while Pete is sleeping soundly listening to music. She manages to knock the guy out but there is a woman as well and she starts shooting at Bailey. This woman is a little tougher for Bailey to fight. They end up in the pool and the woman tries to choke Bailey who takes over and beats her butt. Pete wakes up just in time to see the aftermath.
At the station, Nolan, Navar, and Ellroy manage to shoot everyone and still have their guy in handcuffs.
