A chauffeur named Mike arrives at Mr. and Mrs. Gillette's house. After he sees blood on the dog who runs up to greet him, Mike goes up to the bedroom and finds the couple murdered. Later after the Gillette's daughter arrives, Elliot tells her they suspect her father killed his wife then took his own life with a bullet to the head.

Cragen reports to the detectives since there is no gun residue on Mr. Gillette's hand, they can rule out a murder-suicide scenario. Cragen informs them that the Gillettes are considered special victims since they donated generously to the police department.

At the scene the detectives discover someone broke in the house and the alarm wasn't set the night before. They figure that the killer entered the home the night before.

Elliot and Olivia meet with Anne, the deceased couple's daughter. She says her parents were not even supposed to be there and were planning to travel to Florida last night, but she suggested she stay one more night since her mom was just getting over the flu. Anne suspects the murder was a burglary, but Elliot says nothing was taken which makes the crime personal. Anne says she was followed by a dark skinned man when she was shopping around on Wednesday.

Elliot and Olivia meet with an art gallery owner who says Anne is a good customer. The gallery explains they don't have surveillance video since their customers don't like to be watched. Next, the detectives meet with a jeweler who also says Anne is a good customer. The owner says there was a dark skinned man who was following Anne. The shop owner gives Elliot and Olivia a still shot of the man taken from surveillance video. Later, Anne identifies the man as the person who was following him. Olivia and Elliot instruct Anne to act normally in order to be bait. The detectives play as assistants while they accompany Anne to a church. Olivia sees the man who Elliot searches and finds a Special Frauds police badge on him. The man introduces himself as Ashok Ramsey who explains he thinks Anne is a killer.

At the station, Ashok says he is on a special operation ordered by the mayor. He shares his suspicious that Anne killed her parents since her trust fund ran out and she is the sole heir to her parent's fortune. In his office, Ashok briefs the detectives about Anne's biography in which she failed at normal jobs. He shows them Anne's record of embezzlement in which she stole money from a charity called the Prestwick Foundation by setting up fake businesses. Ashok figures Anne killed her parents after they refused to give her more money. Prestwick and Chief Muldrew orders Ashok to suspend his investigation. Prestwick informs Ashok that a donor heard about the lost money and decided to cover their losses. Muldrew orders his men to take back all of Prestwick's files. Since the embezzlement case is closed, Olivia suggests Ashok work with them as he poses as an arrested stalker.

While Ashok sits in the interrogation room, Olivia tells Anne that she can help by answering questions. Olivia tells Anne they don't have enough evidence to tie Ashok to her parent's murder. Anne suggests she talk to her parent's business manager Nate Hartman. Ashok figures Nate was capable of helping Anne set up the fake businesses.

Ashok and Elliot meet with Nate at his house. Ashok tells Nate that Anne is going to phone him and ask him to lie for her. As the phone rings, the detectives tell him he is going to jail unless he cooperates. After Nate puts Anne on speaker phone, she tries to convince Nate to tell the police he saw Ashok at her parent's house.

At the station, Nate confesses he set up fake accounts for Anne. Cragen tells Olivia and Elliot they don't have enough to charge Anne for murder, but they can get her on witness tampering and release it to the press.

Ashok, Elliot and Olivia arrest Anne after the funeral service. Huang suggests they make Anne feel comfortable. Mulgrew confronts Cragen for having his detectives arrest Anne. Cragen explains the murder case is still open, but Mulgrew says he knows they arrested her for witness tampering. Huang tells Mulgrew Anne is a dangerous psychopath. Mulgrew tells Elliot to find the evidence or he will not back them.

After Elliot, Olivia and Ashok enter Anne's interrogation room, she insists she only speak to Ashok. After Ashok introduces herself, Anne says she knows his mother from London. Anne tells Ashok she thinks of them as two of kind, which is rich prodigal children. Anne insists she was only tired of waiting for her money and didn't want her parents dead. Anne tells him she thinks he will run back home.

Anne's lawyer, Yancy Winthrom, comes in to talk to her client. Ashok tells Elliot is not worth booking Anne for witness tampering, but if they get Nigel Prestwick to cooperate, they can charge her with embezzlement. Ashok explains Prestwick expenses his personal habits to his foundation. After Ashok rattles off the organizations Prestwick belongs to, Olivia recognizes one of them.

Olivia meets with Nigel at his office. She tells him she knows men have needs that have to be fulfilled somewhere outside their homes. She orders him to get on his knees and lick her boots as Ashok photographs him. Olivia informs Nigel they arrested two sadists from one of the societies he belong to and have video evidence he might be in. Nigel agrees to hand over his records so the police can use it against Anne.
