The Murders / int_11630eaa	comment	The Gambling Addict: In "Queen of Hearts" it's revealed a person's gambling addiction instigated the murder that's the episode's focus. Daria, the fiancÃ©e of the victim, was a gambling addict who'd gotten deep into debt over her losses. She put up her car as collateral, but then ran away instead of handing it over after losing again. The winner tracked her down, running her car off of the road, but it was actually her fiancÃ© inside whom he killed instead. She started getting help for this, but relapsed when her loss occurred.

This contrasts with her more contentious relationship with her mom. Kate later admits she was always on her dad's side when they divorced, and says regretfully that she'd never really given her mom a chance.

This leads to his death later helping Kate, which she blames herself for. "In My Feelings" reveals that Kate's father had gone along with his partner planting evidence against a murder suspect, so he'd been convicted.

As she's a candidate for mayor (she and they are held at her campaign's headquarters), along with being a former prosecutor there are many possible motives that the hostage taker could have, but he refuses to simply say what his beef is, instead making her (literally) play a game of 20 Questions, initially with no demand made. She prosecuted him, it turns out, with the man feeling she demonized him to the jury in his case. It turns out that he wants her to admit that he'd been wrongly convicted of his wife's murder on false evidence that she'd presented to the court, with her husband at the time (Kate's father) gathering this.

As his own son was with a white girl in Canada after they immigrated, at first the police think he may have done the same thing. However, it turns out to be a red herring, since he was a cop while in India and attempting to help his relative, with him being exonerated due to his innocence.

The Murders / int_5ad80bf8	comment	It's All My Fault: Kate, after her partner Mike's killed by a suspect, blames herself as he was aiding her. This occurred because she'd left her gun in her car unlocked, which was stolen and used in a murder, with Mike covering that up after, leading them into the situation. She tearfully confesses the fact to her psychiatrist much later after she's finally opened up about it. In "Never Kissed A Girl" the father of a murder victim has blamed himself ever since her death. He'd locked her out when she missed curfew, leading her to the killer. After hearing this, Kate expresses her sympathy and she empathizes due to her own past. "In My Feelings" has Kate's mother (rather than use the sympathy votes she garnered) decide to drop out of the race after being held hostage, as her campaign manager David died at the hostage-taker's hands, feeling that she doesn't deserve it since this was revenge against her. Kate convinces her to stay in the race however, saying David would want that.

Following Lil Rex having a breakdown, Kane and Ayanna agreed that he needed both of them, and finally came out with the truth, deciding to see how polyamory worked for them.

The Murders / int_ddeaea82	type	Miscarriage of Justice
The Murders / int_ddeaea82	comment	Miscarriage of Justice: In "Never Kissed A Girl" the victim had been wrongly convicted of rape and murder, but released after he was exonerated. His murder turns out to be connected with the original case, and so the cops investigate both. The real killer killed him too, it turns out, when he learned what happened. "In My Feelings" has Kate's mom taken hostage by a man whom she put in prison for murder coming back after getting released for revenge, stating she used false evidence. She admits it's true, her husband had planted it but she wasn't aware at the time, failing to reveal this later so Kate wouldn't know what her father did. This is zigzagged as he later admits he'd killed his wife, although his conviction wasn't valid.

The Murders / int_e010ed1a	type	Minority Police Officer
The Murders / int_e010ed1a	comment	Minority Police Officer: Kate is a biracial detective in a nearly all white police department. Her father (who's dead by the time of the show) was black and a fellow police officer. Kate's mother is white and currently running for mayor, with a part of her platform being to foster greater diversity in the force, with Kate being in a photo op by her side. This annoys Kate, seeing it as her mom just using her to score some points as her biracial cop daughter. She later apologizes however. When talking with her mom too the latter notes that black people often dislike them being in the police force, as Kate's father had also experienced when serving. Kate works under Bill Chen, a Chinese-Canadian detective.
