Ep 11. Good Faith

As Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson and the Major Crimes Unit investigate the murder of a millionaire philanthropist, they quickly realize that the victim's charitable donations may not have been entirely altruistic. The victim, Stanley Waters, was known for his generous donations to the city's homeless population, but his motives are called into question when the team discovers that he was also involved in a controversial real estate development that could displace many of those same homeless people.

As the investigation unfolds, the team encounters a number of suspicious characters, from a woman with a personal connection to the victim to the head of the real estate development company. With pressure mounting to solve the case quickly, Chief Johnson must use all of her skills to navigate the murky waters of white-collar crime, while also trying to maintain her personal relationships with her team and her fiancé, Fritz.

Meanwhile, tensions within the Major Crimes Unit continue to simmer, as Detective Gabriel struggles with his growing disillusionment with the justice system, and Lt. Provenza finds himself embroiled in an unexpected and potentially dangerous situation.

As the team races to uncover the truth behind Stanley Waters' murder, they must also grapple with the broader moral questions posed by his legacy and their own roles in the complex web of power and privilege that underpins the city's social hierarchy. Ultimately, they are forced to confront the harsh realities of corruption and greed, and the sometimes difficult choices that come with trying to do the right thing in a world that often seems stacked against the most vulnerable.
