After raw diamonds are found at the dock of a coffee importer, where narcotics informer-focused suspect Sean McHale was murder, Deputy Commissioner Adele Tennant personally takes over the case, rudely ignoring Major Crimes superintendent Donovan, imposing herself as partner on Hudson and doubting his reliance on Rex. Jesse researches and sets up cameras complementing their stakeout to take down the suspected gem smugglers, but the link to blood diamond 'fence' Irwin Agashe's middleman, garage owner Hanif Reda, proves a dead end. An undisclosed police connection to informer Otto Hart threatens to derail the investigation, with further cover twists.
