At the beginning of the episode, the team is notified of a murder that took place at a luxury magazine publication.

With very few leads to go on, the team begins to interview the victim's colleagues and friends to piece together a picture of who might have wanted him dead.

Through their interviews, the team discovers that Starks was not well-liked by many of his colleagues. He was a difficult boss who constantly berated his employees and who had recently been in a dispute with a senior editor over the magazine's content. The team also learns that Starks had recently changed his will, which has left several potential suspects with a motive.

The investigation takes a new turn when the team discovers that Starks had been poisoned with a rare and deadly toxin. The detectives soon realize that the poison was not easy to come by and that the murderer must have had a specific motive for using this particular poison. However, despite their best efforts, the team continues to hit dead ends in their investigation.

As the investigation continues, the team discovers that Starks had been having an affair with a junior colleague. This discovery leads them to question the colleague, who confesses to the affair but denies any involvement in the murder. The team also learns that Starks had previously been involved in a shady business deal with an old colleague, who might have had a motive for killing him.

As the team digs deeper, new evidence comes to light, which not only connects several suspects to the murder but also reveals a much larger conspiracy. The team works tirelessly to piece together the evidence, ultimately leading to a dramatic conclusion to the case.
