Morgan Gillory, an overnight janitor at the LAPD, accidentally knocks over a murder case file while working.

Morgan's first official case involves a tap dancer, Damian, who was pushed off a roof onto his car. Lieutenant Melon of the LAPD's Robbery Division comes to Selena for help on a case involving a string of jewelry store heists. Morgan and Karadec find the tap dancer's partner, Roland. Roland claims that a third person pushed Damian. Morgan proves Roland's claim, and realizes that Roland was the intended target. Morgan and Karadec find Roland too late, killed at a nightclub. After observing the nightclub's security footage, Morgan realizes that the killer is also Lieutenant Melon's jewel thief. The LAPD sets up a sting operation to catch the killer/jewel thief. Morgan tells Selena that she last saw Roman when she sent him out to get diapers for Ava. At home, Morgan tries to connect with Ava over her and Roman's art talent, but it upsets Ava, as she believes Roman walked out on them. Morgan uses her first paycheck to bring her car home, cheering her kids up. Selena tells Morgan that Roman's car was impounded shortly after his disappearance with a box of diapers inside, implying his intent to return home.

While working on a case involving a con artist/rideshare driver, Karadec gets increasingly frustrated with Morgan not following police protocol or letting him know what she plans on doing. After nearly getting injured by a suspect, Karadec yells at Morgan, leading to Morgan quitting her job. However, she decides to come back the next day and solve the case. At home, Morgan is upset to find Ava alone in her room with a possible boyfriend, despite Ava's insistence that they're only studying. Morgan gets even more upset when she learns Ludo allowed it without her knowledge or permission. She tells Ludo he overstepped his authority with Ava, but Ludo takes it as a reminder that he is not Ava's biological father. Morgan later apologizes to Ludo. Meanwhile, Selena and Melon discover that a mural Roman painted just before his disappearance was located in a neighborhood known for illegal activity, and believe he might have been silenced because he was a potential witness to a crime committed there.

The team investigates the intentional hit-and-run of a famous Los Angeles sportscaster, which involves figuring out who owned the British racing car used as the murder weapon. Things get complicated when the sportscaster's son, the sportscaster's attractive female house manager, and a neighbor with a grudge all become potential suspects. While working the case, Morgan runs into Tom, who's moving to San Diego to become a nurse. Morgan is downcast until Tom smiles and says, "San Diego isn't that far." Meanwhile, Selena gets in touch with a reluctant Conforth, who offers to provide info on Roman in exchange for reducing his nephew's sentence. Selena shares details of Morgan's case with Karadec, asking him to convince his friend (and former date) the DA to reduce the sentence. Karadec agrees. Later, Conforth reaches out to Morgan, saying he'd be out of town for a few days but promising to contact her about Roman. Morgan is skeptical, as she doesn't believe Conforth even knew Roman. Conforth convinces her by saying Roman called his family the "RAMs" (Roman, Ava, Morgan), something only Roman and Morgan knew.

The investigation into a nanny's death begins when her body is discovered at a playground. Authorities first believed she died in an accident on a child's slide. However, further examination revealed blunt force trauma to the head, indicating a homicide. Witnesses reported a suspicious man, later identified as Chuck, a private investigator/former colleague of Karadec, following Tara. Chuck revealed he was hired by Brent Lewis, one of her employers, to monitor Tara due to concerns about her behavior toward their child. These concerns stemmed from Facebook posts by a "concerned mother" alleging Tara posed a threat. The posts were later traced to Oksana, a Russian nanny who harbored intense resentment toward Tara because she was friends with the nanny she replaced. Oksana created a fake Facebook account to impersonate the "concerned mother" and fuel the conspiracy. Karadec cleverly manipulated the nannies into exposing Oksana by implying their workplaces had nanny cams.

On his deathbed, George Donovan, a wealthy Beverly Hills patriarch, confessed on camera to murdering his son-in-law, Barry Johnson, by pushing him down the basement stairs, breaking his neck. However, Selena, who had initially investigated the case 10 years ago, always suspected a drug deal gone wrong and regretted not following her instincts. As she and her team, particularly Morgan, delved deeper, they uncovered that Barry had actually been electrocuted in the shower before his body was disposed of down the laundry chute, staining George's clothes with blood. This revelation unraveled a tangled web of family conflicts, revealing Barry's history of domestic abuse against his wife, Heather. The night of his death, a heated argument at the Donovan residence had led Barry to storm off, setting the stage for the real crime.
Further investigation exposed an unexpected twist: Cody, Barry's son, was the real killer. In a desperate attempt to protect his mother, Cody used a hair dryer to electrocute his father in the shower, dropped his body down the laundry chute, and later staged the scene to throw off authorities, making it appear as though Barry had been drinking in the sauna. Given Cody's age at the time of the crime, he would be tried as a minor, ensuring a reduced sentence.
On his deathbed, George Donovan, a wealthy Beverly Hills patriarch, confessed on camera to murdering his son-in-law, Barry Johnson, by pushing him down the basement stairs, breaking his neck. However, Selena, who had initially investigated the case 10 years ago, always suspected a drug deal gone wrong and regretted not following her instincts. As she and her team, particularly Morgan, delved deeper, they uncovered that Barry had actually been electrocuted in the shower before his body was disposed of down the laundry chute, staining George's clothes with blood.

Chuck revealed he was hired by Brent Lewis, one of her employers, to monitor Tara due to concerns about her behavior toward their child.

The posts were later traced to Oksana, a Russian nanny who harbored intense resentment toward Tara because she was friends with the nanny she replaced. Oksana created a fake Facebook account to impersonate the "concerned mother" and fuel the conspiracy.

| It's been one week after the serial kidnapper--now referred to as the Game Maker--made contact with Morgan. Concerned about the safety and well-being of her family, Morgan and Ludo have been keeping the kids in the house, with police stationed outside. One day, Morgan finds a flyer for a security company in her mail, addressed to a different house in her neighborhood. Going back to the LAPD, she finds out that the house's owner is a single mom who's gone missing. Morgan and Karadec find clues leading back to the missing woman's boss as the likely kidnapper/murderer, but Morgan insists that the Game Maker is framing him. Eventually, the Game Maker comes to the LAPD on his own, saying he heard they were looking for him. Meanwhile, Lieutenant Soto sends Oz and Daphne to Henderson, Nevada, following Conforth's tip to locate Roman. | |||||||

| Karadec interrogates the Game Maker about the missing woman, but admits to nothing while secretly taunting Morgan. While Karadec tries to prevent the woman's ex-husband from killing her boss, Morgan finds the woman in the Game Maker's apartment building. Despite this, the LAPD aren't able to arrest the Game Maker, until Morgan ties him to the blood he used to frame the woman's boss. The Game Maker isn't willing to go to jail, so he attempts to jump from his apartment to his death, only to land on a crash pad and get arrested by the LAPD. Meanwhile, Oz and Daphne find a man identifying himself as Roman Sinqerra, but Morgan doesn't recognize him. Later, the man introduces himself to Morgan as Arthur, who claims that Roman wanted him to keep an eye on Morgan and her kids. However, while they both trust Morgan, neither of them trust the police. Arthur leaves Morgan with a card to call him. | |||||||
