Kensi and Deeks speak with Aubrey's stepfather. G, Kensi, and Deeks go nightclubbing; Kensi discovers an alive missing girl, and she says that a victim just became a suspect; the team meet several interesting people; Kensi decks one and cuffs him, and G pops another one; the team escort away Aubrey, who gives Kensi much useful information. Kensi and Aubrey go to the latter's home, where Kensi sees more clues, more people, and a part of a solution; Aubrey leaves, Kensi gets into trouble, and G, Sam, and Deeks ride to the rescue. The team finish putting together the pieces about the death and more.

Inside his pad by night G grabs a prowler, who works for Arkady, who gives G a tip; Kensi and her buds run a scam on a foreign businessman; G gets into a firestorm, but the rest of the gang show up and lend a hand.
