She partners with a new detective Stephen Holder, and as the case becomes more complex, she continually puts off her relocation.

Richmond is dismissed as a suspect because he has an alibi. The evidence eventually leads the detectives to Rosie's teacher, Bennet Ahmed. When the police are unable to close the case against Ahmed, Rosie's mother goads her husband into exacting revenge. Rosie's father beats Ahmed into a coma. When he discovers that Ahmed is in fact innocent, he turns himself in to the police.

As the season winds down, the detectives discover that Rosie was working as a prostitute, and they track down a dangerous john who used her escort service and intimidated another girl. Eventually, they discover that the john is actually Richmond. The detectives gather evidence to build the case against him, culminating in his arrest and Linden finally getting on the plane to California. As she prepares for takeoff, she gets a call that informs her that Holder had fabricated the key piece of evidence against Richmond. While Richmond is getting into a police car, Belko arrives and pulls a gun and is about to shoot Richmond when the screen goes black, leaving Richmond's final fate unknown.
