Jane and Maura investigate the assassination of State Senator Erica Humphrey-Miller, daughter of retired State Senator Malcolm Humphrey, during a parade. Maura finds a five day old scratch on the dead woman's neck which may have been caused by a piece of barbed wire. The contents of her stomach and evidence they found in the assassins perch confirm that they had likely eaten breakfast together a few hours earlier. Erica was investigating an environmental problem in her district but the solution to the crime is simpler than that. Maura meanwhile is down in the dumps after donating a kidney to her half sister and neither she nor her mother have been in touch with her. Jane for her part hasn't heard from her off and on again boyfriend Casey Jones for 3 months - and he suddenly shows up at her door. 这部由安吉·哈蒙（Angie Harmon）与萨莎·亚历山大（Sasha Alexander）主演，讲述波士顿一名女警官与一名女法医的工作生活的TNT警匪剧在今年夏季美剧中的表现十分亮眼，收视率名列各基本收费频道回归剧集的榜首。 尽管被调整到每周四晚9点播出，《妙女神探》平均每一集仍吸引到了710万观众。因此，TNT台已经续订了第四季，该季共有15集，将于2013年播出。
