- Jane and Maura still aren't on speaking terms but are forced to work together when a college student, 25 year-old Rachel Lawson, is found strangled in the university's underground tunnels. She had also been renting a car every weekend for the last 20 weeks and was aware that her parents has separated. She had also spent a good deal of money on yoga in recent months. The yoga master, Sensei Matta, has recently bought 20,000 acres in Western Massachusetts and has a secret - one that lead to the death of Rachel Lawson. Meanwhile, Jane is surprised when her father knocks on her door. He has big news: he's going to be remarried - to a 28 year-old - but wants a church wedding so needs to have his marriage to Angela annulled. Tommy, who introduced his Dad to the woman, is having his own particular problems with the nuptials.—garykmcd
- Only Tommy, now an undertaker's corpse collector, kept in touch with dodgy father Frank Rizzoli Sr., who now comes along visiting the siblings, seeking help to ask their mother for a divorce so he can remarry. Maura hasn't forgiven Jane for her father's shooting, so they converse icily professionally on the case of college student and environmental activist Rachel Lawson (25), strangled in the university's underground tunnels. Colleagues maneuver them into sharing a car investigating a lead to her yoga master, Sensei Matta, who recently bought 20,000 acres in Western Massachusetts. Frank Junior and Frist also discover the murder of a geology professor on the trail of Matta's illegal fracking, which the detectives discover the hard way.—KGF Vissers
- Tensions continue to mount between Jane and Maura, causing those close to them to be caught in the middle. But they must put aside their differences when they investigate the case of a college student who died in a tunnel. Meanwhile, Frankie Sr. returns with news that upsets Angela.—TNT Publicity
- A woman does yoga in a steam tunnel. Someone comes up behind her with a garrote and strangles her.
At home with her two brothers, Jane struggles to make lunch. Theres a knock at the door. Its their dad (Chazz Palminteri).
At the crime scene, Maura says the victim has been there about two days. Theyre calling Jane but she hasnt answered. This would be her first case together since the shooting. Newspapers are writing about Jane and Maura since Jane shot Mauras mobster father.
Back at Janes her father gives them all wedding invitations, telling them Lydia is a dynamite lady. Tommy gets busted for introducing them.
Jane realizes he has to get an annulment to get married in a Catholic church. He hasnt told Angela yet.
Jane shows up at the crime scene. The victim is Rachel Lawson, a 25 year old grad student. She rented a car every weekend for the last 20 weeks.
Maura is professional with Jane and theyre quickly snotty with each other. Maura wants to give a history lesson on garrotes. The victim has a rash on her stomach.
Jane and Frost go talk to the roommate. The victim had vegan shoes and a baggy of what looks like cocaine in her shower caddy.
Jane and Korsak meet with her parents, who are separated. Her dad told her after winter break, which is when she started going to the tunnels. Jane tells them they can honor their daughters memory by being kind to each other.
Later in the station, Jane tells Frankie she doesnt think she and Maura will ever be friends again. Their dad hasnt talked to their mom yet about the annulment. Frankie ran a check on Lydia shes 28 years old, younger than they are.
Jane watches her dad bring the papers in to Angela and a fight erupt. Angela refuses, saying she wont dishonor their children. Jane tells her dad she used to idolize him and kicks him out.
Maura finds Tommy waiting for her in her office, hes working for a funeral home picking up bodies. He wants Mauras advice but swears her to silence. He says he slept with his dads fiancée once and wonders if he should tell his dad.
In the morgue, they find the powder wasnt cocaine, it was baking soda that she used to wash her hair.
She has yoga injuries and the rash is from being submerged in icky stuff.
They match a symbol from her apartment to a yoga studio. She spent $25,000 on yoga in five months at Sensei Mattas studio.
Frost gets a call about a floater and invites Frankie to tag along.
At the yoga studio, Frost and Korsak are undercover and have to ditch their coffee because its a caffeine free zone. They arent allowed to meet the master until after class.
Frankie looks upclose at the body, which is swollen and gross and bloated. Tommy comes to collect the body, takes one look and barfs, which causes Frost to lose it, too.
Back in the lab with Maura, Frankie is excited the floater has a skull fracture. He thinks its his first murder, but she nips his guessing in the bud and lectures him about using his gut.
After the grueling yoga class, they learn Sensei Matta is at his retreat out of town and theyre not allowed to meet him until they ascend. They mention Rachel, who apparently ascended very quickly. Sensei Matta believes shes spiritually gifted.
Back in the station, Frost reports Sensei is really Matthew Moore, who bought 20,000 acres in western Massachusetts using his yoga studios non-profit designation. From the steam tunnel surveillance, Frost learned that Rachel started going to the tunnels five months ago but stopped for months. She started going two weeks ago.
Maura comes up with a report on the rash and avoids talking to Jane. They start sniping again. The rash was from one of seven polluted lakes in Western Massachusetts.
Maura announces shes going to do her own water testing. Korsak takes a minute then asks if she would also get a statement from Sensei Matta, knowing itll prod Jane to go, too. They find reasons to take separate cars. Korsak has their cars towed.
Angela brings them lunch and lectures them to be grown ups and get along. They take Frosts unmarked car.
Out in the country, Maura gives directions with longitude and latitude. They ride in silence then Jane notices a terrible smell.
At the station, Frankie reports the floater was Paul MacNamara, a professor who studied ground water. They pull up a web seminar of his on the danger of fracking.
Out in the country, they reach a security station for the yoga studio. Jane bluffs her way through. They see people practicing yoga by the lake as Maura takes a sample. Maura notices a drilling rig. Maura drops her sample container and announces they need to leave. They see security closing in and Maura insists they go.
In the car, Maura tells Jane she saw fracking equipment, which explains why the lake was so polluted. Its illegal in Massachusetts. Rachel was a geologist, she would have known what the fracking equipment was and objected.
Suddenly, theyre t-boned by a truck. After the crash, Maura is pinned in the car. Jane tries to free her as someone starts shooting at them. Jane returns fire as Maura struggles to get her legfree. Once she does, Jane helps her make a run for it.
From the station, Korsak tries Jane but cant reach her. They notice an impression of a shut off valve in MacNamaras head and Korsak thinks its from something in the steam tunnel, which empties to the river.
Out in the woods in the dark, Jane and Maura make their way taking cover. Maura is in pain and announces she needs to stop. They take off her boot and she sees its swollen and puffy. Maura recognizes its compartment syndrome and tells Jane she has to cut her leg it to release the blood or Maura will lose her leg. Jane doesnt think she can do it, but Maura says she has to. Jane uses the crystal of her broken cell phone to make a slit. The pain is so bad, Maura passes out.
Back at the station, they find Rachel viewed MacNamaras online seminar and they chatted online, scheduling to meet in the tunnels.
Jane waits for Maura to wake up. Shes delirious. Jane hears someone approaching and Sensei Matta and goons come out of the brush with automatic weapons. Jane is outnumbered.
At the station, Korsak learns Matthew Moore was an ex Army commando and worked at Blackwater. Korsak decides to go look for them, even though he doesnt know where to look.
Moore marches Jane through the woods and he tells her Rachel stole shale samples and gave them to MacNamara. Moore puts Jane and Maura in a car and releases his reservoir full of polluted water. Jane is strapped down in the car but manages to get her phone free. Maura tells Jane to call her mom and tell her theyre friends again. Her phone is dried out and shes able to send sound. Maura groggily suggests Morse code.
Korsak gets the text.
Later, as the water rushes in, Jane hears Korsaks voice. He helps them get out of the car.
Later, Jane and Tommy bring Maura home. Sensei Matta and his men were arrested. Angela wants Maura and Jane to apologize to each other. They tell her to butt out, but apologize. They missed each other.
