Lindsay, Claire and Jill cautiously welcome a new member to the Women's Murder Club, young reporter Cindy. Meanwhile, Lindsay and Jacobi investigate a homicide committed by a serial murderer dubbed "The Vendetta Killer". In their private lives, Lindsay faces up to the past when her ex-husband is brought into her police department in a leadership role, Jill faces a domestic crisis, and Claire struggles to help her husband, who's fighting depression.
This is the unaired pilot. It follows more closely to James Patterson's novels, with major plot changes such as Yuki being a character, Lindsey becoming the new Lieutenant, and Cindy already being a member of the club.
