The team investigates a robbery and suspicious double murder at a "Bling-bling" party hosted by a famous jewelry designer in town. They soon find that one of the victims, a celebrity named Dakota Hudson, was listed on the "Death Pool 100". Investigations turn towards those poised to profit by her untimely death, ultimately leading to revelations of fake diamonds and offshore gambling and counterfeiting. Ryan is also caught out, by an embarrassed Calleigh, holding dead pool related "super-notes".

The body of a local politician is found in an empty house. The entire neighborhood was upset that he was backing the use of eminent domain, allowing the government to force them out of their homes. During the period of investigation, some members of the team have to deal with their enemies in the past while some have to come to terms with the nature of the profession they are pursuing.
