Erin arrives at Miranda's apartment from a long day at work and sees the table lit up with candles and she slowly smiles when she sees Miranda at the stove.
"Hey you. What's all of this?" Erin asked as she walks over after taking off her heels.
"I just wanted to have dinner with my girl." Miranda said.
"So should Nicky and I leave while you and Heather celebrate?" Miranda chuckles.
"Very cute."
"Thank you. Oh is that your famous spaghetti and grandma' recipe for the sauce?"
"It is. First..." Miranda tenderly kisses her.
"Hi." Miranda whispered.
"Hi. Thank you for all of this. So, where are the girls?"
"Since it's Friday, Heather is going to a sleepover for a basketball bonding time thing and Nicky is also at a sleepover."
"A kid-free night? Has that ever happened?"
"Not since we got together. Here." Miranda hands over a glass of wine.
"Baby, you are amazing." Erin said then takes a sip of the wine.
"Bad day?" Miranda asked as she takes out the garlic bread from the stove.
"The worse. But this is what I need. You, me, a candle lit dinner and a homemade dinner." Miranda leans over and kisses her a few times.
"So just relax and let me handle everything tonight." Miranda softly said.
"You're full of surprises, aren't you?"
"Only for you." Miranda snaps her fingers and the fireplace lights up.
"How did you do that?" Erin asked as she looks at the fireplace.
"Magic." Miranda reaches behind Erin's ear and pulls out a single red rose.
"I'm surprised you didn't feel this at all today." Miranda said.
"Ok madam magician. What else do you have store for me?"
"Besides us making sweet tender love all night long? Nothing else."
Miranda and Erin catch their breaths as they lay in front of the lit fireplace after they had sex.
"Wow." Erin said as she catches her breath.
"Speechless counselor?" Miranda asked as she hovers over her.
"For the first time in my life." They slowly smile then tenderly kiss again when Erin's phone starts ringing. Miranda sighs as Erin reaches over and answers the call.
"Hey Danny, what's up?...What? Miranda, get off me." Miranda lays down on her back and looks at Erin.
"Ok, I'm on my way." Erin said then hangs up the phone and gets up.
"My Dad's been shot." Erin said and Miranda gets up. They jog outside to Miranda's car, after changing into different clothes, and the lieutenant speeds off to the hospital when she sees Danny's car behind her. They pull up to the hospital and jog over to the emergency entrance.
"You guys go in. I'm gonna talk to the detail." Miranda softly said to Danny, who nods and walks into the room and Miranda faces the detail.
"I don't care who is going into the hospital room for the next two days, if someone looks suspicious, you don't let them go in. Do you understand me?" Miranda asked the detail.
"Yes Lieutenant." They said at the same time.
"Get to work." Miranda rubs her chin as she walks to the waiting room. As she sits in the room, Erin tosses her jacket over and sits next to her, very closely.
"How is he doing?" Miranda softly asked.
"He's a fighter." Erin softly said then places her chin on Miranda's shoulder. An hour later, Miranda looks at her phone and silently sighs. Erin looks up and sees Miranda grabbing her jacket.
"Where are you going?" Erin asked.
"I just got called into work. If they don't need me, I'll be right back." Miranda softly said. She leans down and kisses her then walks away.
"Please let this undercover job be almost over." Miranda whispered after getting into the elevator. She grabs the microphone and new tape recorder then drives off after taping the mic to her chest.
"About time you showed up." Damon said when he sees Miranda walking over.
"I was with my daughter." Miranda lied.
"We're doing a run and we need you to be our lookout."
As Miranda sits in the unmarked van, she's writing down the heist in her journal when she hears the gunshots.
"Two minutes." Miranda said into the radio.
"10-4." She hears and puts down the radio. She puts away her journal into her inside coat pocket when the doors open.
"Go!" Damon said when they get into the van and she drives off.
Erin looks at her watch and quietly sighs as she waits to hear from Miranda. She picks up a magazine and starts reading it.
"Hey. It was a missing kid, but the child is safe back with her parents." Miranda softly said then sits down next to Erin.
"I'm glad you got the child back home." Miranda writes something down and shows it to Jamie.
My office in the morning ASAP!
"Wait, what?" Jamie asked and Miranda shushes him.
"Shut up! I don't need the entire squad hearing this!" Miranda softly said to the patrol officer.
"You're working undercover to expose the Blue Templar? Does Erin know?" He whispered.
"No. You see Damon Camia out there?" He looks and sees the male detective.
"Yeah, I do."
"He's one of the dirty cops. If I arrest him, he's going to get the word to the rest of the group and they will kill me and my daughter."
"What do you need me to do?"
"I need you to give me everything you have on the group then drop it. It's already bad enough that I'm trying to expose them, but you? You're Joe's little brother and if they find out that you're looking into his death, they will kill you and I can't let that happen to Erin and your family again. Ok?"
"Got it. I'll bring it over to your apartment tonight."
"Thank you."
"Wait, how did you know that I was looking into the group?" He asked that night inside Miranda's apartment.
"I heard chatter about you. If I were you, take your service weapon home from now on." Miranda said.
"How do you think Erin's going to react when she finds out that you've been undercover?"
"One of two ways. Either she's going to be glad that I found Joe's killer or dump my sorry ass from here to Boston for lying to her. Or both."
"You going to Joe's dedication ceremony?"
"Like I'm going to miss that."
At the dedication ceremony, Miranda helps Jamie look for the shooter who shot the Commissioner. She stands on the landing and looks around when Danny joins her. All three of them are wearing their class-A uniforms.
"See him?" He asked.
"No. Wait. Got him. On the stairs."
"I see him." Danny points over to the stairs and Jamie does a single nod as Miranda slowly walks down the stairs. She sees him pulling out the gun and runs over with Jamie and Danny, successfully getting him to release the gun and they escort him up the stairs. That night, Miranda sits in Frank's study with the door closed and he looks at her.
"Sir, Joe's killer is in the group that I'm undercover with." Miranda softly said then looks at him.
"Do you know who?" He asked.
"I have a suspicion on who it is."
"Who?" Miranda looks at the ground.
"Sonny Malvesky. I'm sorry sir. I know that he was Joe's partner in Warrants."
"Get the admission on tape."
"Yes sir. Once I have the admission, I'm backing off from going with them and working the investigation alone from my end."
"Understood."
Miranda arrives home and is really, really pissed off for agreeing to take the undercover job. She hangs up her jacket and walks over to the fridge and grabs a to go carton of Chinese food.
"Hey, hey, hey. Before you break the plate that your mother gave you when you moved here." Erin said then carefully takes the plate from her girlfriend. Miranda didn't even hear her girlfriend walking over.
"Sorry. I didn't mean to wake you." Miranda said.
"I think you woke up the entire neighborhood. Rough case?" Erin asked.
"Yeah. I don't want to talk about it right now."
"Ok. I'm not going to push you."
"Thank you." They kiss and Erin steals a spare rib.
"Hey, that was mine." Miranda said.
"Arrest me for it. Seriously, are you ok?"
"I thought you weren't going to push me?"
"I'm not. I'm just making sure that you're ok." Miranda sighs.
"I um..." Erin looks at her girlfriend and sees the struggling her eyes.
"Baby, just tell me." Erin said.
"You'll find out soon, ok?" Erin silently sighs in defeat.
"Ok."
