Plot[]
Grayson and the player raced to the Lunar Lights gala venue on Chief Henderson’s orders following the discovery that a heist crew planned to steal the donations. When they arrived, they decided to ask gala hostess and fasion designer Felicia Ingardi to shut down the gala until the thieves were caught. They started searching the manor, only to find Felicia burned to the bone inside the billiards room. They first sent Felicia's charred body to Daphne, who confirmed that Felicia had been doused in alcohol before the killer set her ablaze, before going on to suspect fundraiser Bryan Kennedy, waitress Tiffany Morello, school teacher Natalie Redwing, and Mayor Louisa Coldwell. Mid-investigation, as they recapped the facts of the case, they heard from Barbara that Teddy Montoya had been spotted sneaking into the ballroom.
Following Barbara's information, they raced to the ballroom to apprehend Teddy. An angry Teddy insisted that the other members of the heist crew would finish the job, regardless of whether he was in jail or not. After arresting him, they searched the ballroom and found reason to suspect Felicia's old friend, the team's Chief Raymond Henderson. It was also discovered that Felicia refused to support Louisa's re-election campaign and that Felicia refused to take Tiffany on as an apprentice. Velma then rushed into the precinct and explained that while she was looking through Felicia's possessions, she discovered an engagement ring from Raymond. Raymond confessed that back in the 1920s, he was engaged to Felicia, but their relationship broke down and they broke up. After speaking to Raymond, they also discovered that Bryan was a member of the heist, organizing the gala so all the money was in one place. Eventually, they found evidence to uncover Louisa as the killer.
Louisa initially tried to deny the accusations but was forced to confess when faced with the evidence. An angry Louisa confessed that she was an affiliate of the heist crew, revealing that it was her job to keep the heist crew updated on the police’s investigation. When asked why she’d agree to that, Louisa confessed that she’d get a cut of the money which she could use to bribe city officials to support her re-election campaign. As Louisa met with the heist crew leader on the patio, Felicia spotted and took a photo of them. To shut her up, Louisa grabbed Felicia by the hair and smashed her head into the billiards table to daze her, before throwing champagne over her and burning her alive. Louisa then smirked and insisted that politics was a dog eat dog world and that she had the biggest teeth, telling them she’d do anything to stay on top. Disgusted by Louisa’s callousness, Grayson arrested her and sent her to trial. Judge Watson then sentenced the disgraced Mayor to life imprisonment in solitary confinement.
Post-trial, Matthew and William told the pair that the donation money had been stolen. Desperate to get the money back, they headed to the billiards room to find the photo Felicia had taken. Eventually, they restored the photo, revealing Louisa’s meeting with Tiffany. Barbara then insisted that Tiffany was fleeing the city via a boat in Belrose Bay. The trio confronted Tiffany who confessed, revealing that she didn’t care about the money. She said that all her life she’d been looked down on and people only cared about her looks, not her intelligence. Tiffany, wanting to prove people wrong, plotted the heist to show that she could outsmart them. Tiffany also confessed that the heist crew, including Louisa, was put together by a criminal she was in contact with. When asked who the contact was, Tiffany said she didn’t know, only stating that they told her she was a player in “the great game”. Tiffany was then arrested and sentenced to life imprisonment for masterminding the deaths of Elvin Redwing and Felicia, along with the heist.
Later, Raymond asked for the player and Nancy’s help in organizing the memorial for Felicia. They decided to head back to Felicia’s manor and found a box of her possessions, eventually discovering letters from the flood victims she had helped. The team then attended Felicia’s memorial where Raymond bid a fond farewell to his old friend. Afterwards, Mildred told them that her grandfather, politician Edgar Murdoch, had been elected as interim Mayor. A cheerful Daphne also told the team that a charity had been founded, using the donation money, under Felicia’s name to help rebuild Willow Grove and help the homeless flood victims. To celebrate their good work, Velma stated that she had tickets to a concert in Harmony Meadow and that they should all attend.
