Tess is quick to question Lucas' motive when he claims to need a place to crash in the middle of the night, only to later unearth a bombshell with Jake at a crime scene that suggests her brother may be implicated in the murder of a famous painter. Torn between her loyalty to the Homicide Division and the need to protect the only family she has left, Tess says nothing to Jake, instead turning to Sunny to watch over Lucas via a nanny cam while she attempts to solve the case. Meanwhile, Sunny invites Kye into her home to help with her DIY renovation, but he stumbles onto a piece of her hidden past, breaking her fragile trust.

Tess and Sunny explore themes of hidden identity as they investigate the murder of a realtor's assistant in a glossy mansion he was preparing to sell, only to discover that neither the realtor, nor the buyers he was prepping the mansion for, are who they seem to be. As the investigation goes on, Tess discovers Sunny might have secrets of her own. Meanwhile, Sunny confronts Kye after catching him eavesdropping.
