What Season 5 of Major Crimes

The fifth season opens with Sharon Raydor in charge of the Major Crimes Division after Brenda Leigh Johnson's departure. Her team doesn't trust her, and the rules she introduced in Force Investigation begin to have unexpected effects on crime scenes. The cases are tough: a missing teenage girl, a possibly corrupt cop, and a beheading in an isolated corner of Los Angeles. Raydor wants to close solid investigations that lead suspects to confess, but her private life spills into her work. She takes in Rusty, tries to get him into college, and must decide what she wants with Andy Flynn. Meanwhile, Provenza, Buzz, Julio Sánchez and Amy Sykes have their own storylines.
