Major Crimes	comment	An After Show of TNT's The Closer, Major Crimes premiered in August 2012, starring Mary McDonnell as Captain Sharon Raydor, alongside much of the parent Major Crimes Division. Raydor takes the helm after the departure of Kyra Sedgwick's Brenda Leigh Johnson, the heroine of the parent show.With Captain Raydor taking over the squad, the focus changed from getting confessions to getting plea bargains, which are not nearly as dramatic but which save the city millions in trial expenses. The delicate balance between getting criminals put away even at a reduced sentence and pursuing true justice is a running theme of the series, as is the tension between the squad and their new boss, who, as an Internal Affairs veteran, is not exactly trusted. And finally, the series opens up new insights into its lead character's personal life, mostly through her relationship with Foster Kid Rusty Beck.Even before producing a single episode, the show developed a small but devoted fan following, both from The Closer's existing fanbase and from fans of Mary McDonnell, many of whom turned up because Mary is in it.The Other Wiki has more information.Character sheet can be found here, given that most of the characters were introduced on The Closer.

Provenza is not quite blind without his glasses, but his distance vision has worsened to the point that he kept missing all his pistol targets (which he needed for re-certification) until he borrowed the above elderly woman's glasses, at which point he got a perfect score. He now wears his own glasses whenever he has to drive or shoot and they help him to the point that he, the oldest member of the squad, was the one who took out Rusty's stalker, who had a hostage with a perfect headshot from about fifty feet.

None of them have been seen since The Closer's finale, but their influences are still felt, with Provenza asking Fritz to pass along their regards to Brenda, and the preparations for Stroh's trial being a key Myth Arc of Season 2. Pope, as Chief of Department, is directly responsible for Major Crimes' shift from getting confessions to getting plea bargains to avoid costly trials. Stroh returns in the Season 3 finale. Boy, does he ever. And again for the last few episodes of Season 6 (and the series).

Major Crimes / int_1c445e86	type	Poor Communication Kills
Major Crimes / int_1c445e86	comment	Poor Communication Kills: In the sting operation to find the man threatening Rusty, the police observers consider a regular at the chess park to be suspicious. The regular gains Rusty's trust by impersonating an undercover cop and keeps the observers from finding out by playing his radio, covering up the sound for the wire. While he does tell Rusty not to let the police know, telling Rusty that he (the supposed cop) would get in trouble with his boss for blowing his cover, the observing cops never mention to Rusty that they've singled out that man, or ask him to ask the man to turn off his radio so they can listen in. Rusty was also never familiarized with any of the members of the undercover team, making the regular's story easy for him to buy. It eventually emerges that Alice Herrera (Jane Doe #38) ran away from her brother when he said he wanted to bring their family back together, because she thought he was going to return her to their abusive parents. This is why everything in "Shockwave" happens. The suspect in the case plead guilty to a murder he didn't commit. His wife at the time framed him and the evidence was convincing. A few weeks later, the full autopsy report, which could have exonerated him, was completed, but no one told him or his lawyer, and then it got lost in the system. He got out after 11 years and went on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.

Accusing him of abandoning him despite it has been stated (every time he brings this up) that his father never even knew he existed, keeps accusing him that he will abandon him before he has even met him face to face, and calls him out on being late to a meeting despite the fact that he just found out about his son and it wouldn't be easy to just uproot his entire life just to spend time with him. One can almost not hold it against him when he smacks Rusty after he went out of his way to introduce him to his fiancÃ©e and her two young daughters and Rusty gives them a Brutal Honesty statement of his history before meeting his dad. note Rusty told girls not older that 8 that he was a homeless male prostitute. If anything, one could say it was the breaking point.

"Cashed Out" takes place a week after the events of the case, and features a child services worker interviewing the squad about Sanchez's actions during it, as he's being evaluated as a potential foster parent. In "White Lies, Part 2", Raydor goes to confession after killing a suspected murderer during a courtroom shootout in the previous episode.

She is gunning for the position of Assistant Chief and resents the preferential treatment that Major Crimes gets. She uses her position as Chief of Operations to make life as difficult for Raydor and her team as possible. DDA Rios starts out as one, to the exasperation of everyone, even Hobbs, who she reports to. Continuing from The Closer, almost every non-Fritz FBI agent is some combination of this and Police Are Useless. Fritz himself gets hit hard with this in "Do Not Disturb". But it's defied for Fritz in "Two Options". Special Operations Bureau Commander McGinnis asks Raydor and Tao if he's just another bureaucrat, and Raydor cuts her off with "Or one of the good guys." She's asking because Taylor had just suggested Fritz as a possible candidate to take over running SOB.

The S.I.S. department, the ones who do undercover operations and protection, make it very clear to the ones they protect and use in operations, they will not take slack from anyone as a single mistake could lead to plenty of deaths in the field, including civilians. To test Rusty, they had an officer approach and claim they had his birth mother and she would be dead if he didn't cooperate.

He tells them he figured out the whole thing right away but is happy his son has friends who care enough to do this for him. He asks that they not tell Morales he figured it out, knowing his son will be happier thinking his dad believes him to be a big deal when he's proud of Morales no matter what.

Panicked and scared, Rusty does this, and in doing so breaks all the protocols he agreed to. When he gets to the car, Sykes grabs him from behind, bitches him out for failing to check the back of the car before entering, and screwing up his exam. Much of "Two Options" is this for Fritz, who is being unofficially evaluated as a potential Deputy Chief of Special Operations Bureau. By the episode's end, he's passed, and Taylor point blank tells him the job's his if he wants it.

As he finishes up by pointing out no other law enforcement agency in the country would have done anything like that, Raydor realizes he's right: it wouldn't have been done anywhere else. So how did the killer know about the new, unpublicized LAPD policy so he'd know he could return to the scene twenty minutes later and his victim would still be there?

Even when he does, he makes no secret of his reluctance and he's standoffish every time they spend time together. Until Rusty visits with him and meets his fiancee and her children, who ask about his past, and he tells them. Everything. In the fallout, his father hits him, which turns all of Major Crimes against him. Later, his mother, who abandoned him at the zoo, turns up in a rehab facility. Rusty treats her with kid gloves and constantly defends her, despite her obliviousness, her emotional manipulation and the fact that she let some of her ex-boyfriends beat him because she couldn't accept that he's gay. It takes him a couple seasons and a lot of therapy for him to realize that what she did to him wasn't his fault, and that she's never going to change.

Major Crimes / int_8928fe5f	comment	Dead Man's Chest: In "Citizen's Arrest", the body of a young man is found in a barrel labeled "Hazardous Waste" at a recycling center. The killers know that the owner ships the barrels labeled hazardous up north to a landfill without opening them, where they are to be buried for a thousand years. Had their plan been successful, the body would never have been found, but unfortunately for them, while the barrel is still at the recycling center it's accidentally tipped over and the lid comes off, thus exposing the body. In "Chain Reaction", a body is stuffed inside a cello case (although this happens off-screen).

Major Crimes / int_8ed5c6e4	comment	Asshole Victim: Chad Raber raped a dozen young women and forced them to film endorsements of his gym. No one is too upset that his wife killed him. One murder victim was a rapist who was released on parole. And was planning to engage in sex/likely rape once again, telling his own father who discovered his intentions to "mind his own business" "There's No Place Like Home": A corrupt ICE agent who managed to steal a retirement home away from its residents by contesting a will. Major Crimes can prove conspiracy to commit murder, but they can't actually prove the murder because of how everybody did it, and the DA's office settles for a plea of Manslaughter, with a sentence of house arrest (mind, the residence is an apartment complex with pool and other simple luxuries). Raydor and Provenza aren't too bothered, when all is said and done. It also helped they were quite old and any amount of jail time could have become a life sentence. The victim in "Letting It Go" raped two women and was acquitted on a technicality. The victim in "The Fifth Dynasty" molested his cousins and several other young boys. One of his cousins had killed him. The victim in "Skin Deep" was a home-wrecking, cosmetic surgery-obsessed realtor who stole clients, blackmailed her lovers, and abandoned her son (whose parentage she lied about) to her parents. An offhand suggestion from Sanchez leads DDA Hobbs to decide to negotiate a plea down to second-degree murder if the killer, a dentist, agrees to practice at Folsom. Mary Conrad in "Bad Blood", a former LAPD fraud detective who retired because she was caught taking kickbacks. She's also a chronic shoplifter, stole her neighbors' packages, tried to punch anyone not in a uniform (and even took a swing at Raydor while she was being investigated), and killed a neighbor's dog. That's not even getting into the reason why she was killed! She lied to her own family about losing her pension so that they would have to pay for her bills, risking depriving her grandnephew's chance to go a good school. When her nephew-in-law found out about it and Mary was still all too happy to continue stealing from them, he lost it and beat her to death with her own badge. Then, he tried to cover up killing her by making it look like a break-in. After DDA Hobbs hears this, she states that not only is it manslaughter instead of murder, but there was also a good chance that the killer could walk on that charge if they went to trial, not just because of the lack of evidence, but also due to how unsympathetic the victim was.

It ends up killing her in "Conspiracy Theory: Part 4", where she grills an overprotective mother who unwittingly framed her son with her murders. When the suspect angrily snaps she knows nothing about protecting a child, Sharon finally loses her cool and gets into a shouting match with her, roaring back that the mother cares solely about herself until the stress causes her fatal heart attack.

She's screaming at him because he didn't let her manipulate him into illegally obtaining a prescription drug to hide the fact she was still using heroin. She also tells him that he owes it to her to fill the prescription, because she raised him even though he wasn't "normal" (i.e. straight.) She manages to be even worse in her "Zoo Story" appearance, where she's arrested for shoplifting and asks Rusty to prostitute himself again to earn her bail money. Sharon intervenes. Daniel, Rusty's "sperm donor," also hit him in a moment of anger. Sharon's threat of arresting him for abuse is enough for him to sign away his legal rights to Rusty.

Major Crimes / int_ceec4df5	comment	This is why everything in "Shockwave" happens. The suspect in the case plead guilty to a murder he didn't commit. His wife at the time framed him and the evidence was convincing. A few weeks later, the full autopsy report, which could have exonerated him, was completed, but no one told him or his lawyer, and then it got lost in the system. He got out after 11 years and went on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge.

Major Crimes / int_d397657d	comment	Hoist by His Own Petard: At the preliminary hearing for the Stroh trial, because of the lack of solid connection between the sender and Phillip Stroh, the judge rules that the threatening letters cannot be entered into evidence. They cannot even be spoken of if the Defense raises an objection. Later, when Rusty is being cross-examined, he, being completely honest, admits to having lied a few times to the police, such as his age back in his 911 call. The Defense lawyer, enjoying this as it hurts his credibility, asks why he saw a therapist and he admits it was because of another lie he told Captain Raydor. The Defense demands to know the lie and Rusty is shaken and unsure to answer. When the Judge orders him to answer, Rusty tells them it was because of a police operation to catch the man writing threatening letters to him and Sharon. Defense is outraged but the Judge shuts her down as she was the one to open the door here. The letters are back in.

On Rusty's first day at a private Catholic school, he tells some students his place as a protected witness and would be key to taking down a serial killer with his testimony. Some bullies mocked him and started a fight. Rusty fought back and won. The good father wanted Rusty kicked out for lying and fighting, but Sharon tells him Rusty was being truthful and within his rights to fight back. Upon learning the other boys would only receive a minimal suspension for their conduct, Raydor points out the hypocrisy of this and how the father and school's actions are very far from Christ's teachings. In the end, Rusty got to stay in school.

Major Crimes / int_eb251937	comment	Mary Conrad in "Bad Blood", a former LAPD fraud detective who retired because she was caught taking kickbacks. She's also a chronic shoplifter, stole her neighbors' packages, tried to punch anyone not in a uniform (and even took a swing at Raydor while she was being investigated), and killed a neighbor's dog. That's not even getting into the reason why she was killed! She lied to her own family about losing her pension so that they would have to pay for her bills, risking depriving her grandnephew's chance to go a good school. When her nephew-in-law found out about it and Mary was still all too happy to continue stealing from them, he lost it and beat her to death with her own badge. Then, he tried to cover up killing her by making it look like a break-in. After DDA Hobbs hears this, she states that not only is it manslaughter instead of murder, but there was also a good chance that the killer could walk on that charge if they went to trial, not just because of the lack of evidence, but also due to how unsympathetic the victim was.
