Joe and Harriet head up the investigation of a young model's death after her naked body is found in a city dump. Harriet quickly runs afoul of the dead woman's parents who are resentful of the modelling industry which they blame for their daughter's death. Complicating matters is the involvement of two of the office's staff members with the investigation: photos of Nicole, a former model herself, appear in the portfolio of a photographer under suspicion, and Theo is seen on a surveillance video chatting up the young model in a club just hours before her death. On the home front, Joe is having reservations about having Nicole move in with him while Harriet revives a longstanding disagreement with her mother when she challenges her over her dislike of police officers.
