Pretty Hard Cases follows two badass female detectives, Sam and Kelly, who are of strikingly different personality types but are still able to work together to solve crimes. They're both phenomenal cops, but their off-duty lives are a hot mess, making for an action-packed show that's equal parts drama and humor. In season one episode ten, titled "Jellybeans," the detectives find themselves suddenly immersed in a case that hits far too close to home.
The episode opens with Sam (Meredith MacNeill) getting a call from her sister, Frida, who is in town with her granddaughter Jellybean. Frida, a recovering addict, was never really a part of Sam's life, which makes the surprise visit all the more jarring. But just as Sam is trying to wrap her head around the familial situation, her detective work calls her away. She meets up with Kelly (Adrienne C. Moore) and the rest of the team to investigate the murder of a drug dealer, which is thought to be linked to a turf war between rival gangs.
As the investigation heats up, the detectives discover that the dealer had been smuggling a new synthetic drug into the area, one that as-yet-unknown properties. They begin to suspect that the turf war is actually a front for a much larger operation. Meanwhile, Sam tries to juggle the demands of the investigation with the needs of her sister and her five-year-old grand-niece. Kelly, as always, provides the wry humor that keeps things grounded, but the case is quickly taking a dark turn, and the detectives soon realize that they're dealing with much more than just a new drug.
As they dig deeper into the case, the bodies continue to pile up, and the detectives find themselves in over their heads. Sam begins to realize that the synthetic drug has the potential to wreak havoc on the community and is desperate to shut down the operation before it spirals even further out of control. But as she races to solve the case, she's forced to confront the ghosts of her past, and her relationship with her sister becomes increasingly strained.
Featuring breathtaking action sequences, dynamic characters, and emotionally charged drama, Pretty Hard Cases season one episode ten is a pulse-pounding thriller that will have you on the edge of your seat until its thrilling conclusion.
