Brenda and Major Crimes continue their investigation into the murders of the Marku sisters. The timing of the murders is such that it absolves the girls' dead father, Shariq, as he was trying to kill Armand at the time. The only other surviving member of the family is Armand's nephew Skander, a tough kid who has inherited his grandfather's distrust of the police. The team begins to believe they are dealing with some form of old country blood feud - that is until they receive lab reports which throw an entirely different light on the case. Meanwhile, Brenda's parents have their RV broken into, with all of their Christmas presents stolen. With everyone's Christmas holiday plans disrupted, they have Christmas dinner together.
