- A charred dead body is found outside the wreckage of a burning car, the body which was bound before the fire. The car is registered to Phil Wilkins, a pool hustler. After uncovering some evidence, Shannon and Leary learn that the body is that of Wilkins, who lived life high but had no money. But the nature of the fire indicates that the perpetrator would have also suffered significant burns. Shannon and Leary suspect either one of his pool colleagues who he stiffed or Bobby, the manager of Wilkins' local pool hall as Wilkins was having a clandestine affair with Bobby's wife, Jessica. Part of Jessica's story may provide answers as to the death, and whether Shannon and Leary have to divulge the affair to Bobby. Da Vinci investigates the death of a young teen-aged woman, who was found dead inside a shipping truck. Someone was shipping her across the border from Portland to Vancouver, but a delay in transport caused the oxygen supply she was carrying to run out. The trunk's addressee, Darryl Morris, states that he was not expecting a shipment. Later, a second identical trunk addressed to Darryl Morris is found in the bonding warehouse, this time with a dead young teen-aged boy. Da Vinci decides the only way to find out who was actually expecting the trunks is to make the delivery of the now empty trunks and see who picks them up. But it's a discovery by Patricia that provides the strongest clues as to the identities of the two deceased and who was supposed to get them out of the trunks. Back at the coroner's office, Morris Steadman, still grieving over the death of his daughter, asks to review all Da Vinci's files as he still thinks her death was homicide.

Da Vinci and the fire investigator are about to rule the fire accidental, until Daniel's father offers some information about threatening shoplifters at Daniel's collector LP business and until the investigators find some cigarette butts outside the basement suite's window. Rose Williams, who helped Da Vinci with some robbery information, tries to use this case as a stepping stone into Homicide. Kosmo, in her continuing investigation of Alex Mills, wants to dig up a newly poured concrete floor in one of his abandoned houses, Kosmo thinking that Alex's wife, Sarah, is buried underneath. Some new evidence prematurely stops the excavation at the house, but not before Chick finds a body, however not that of Sarah. Despite finding the body, Kosmo can no longer hold Mills, but convinces Kurtz to allow her to conduct an undercover surveillance operation on Mills. Kosmo is somewhat surprised at Kurtz's choice of the undercover operator. At the archaeological dig site, Sunny discovers more bodies in shipping crates and a separate body with a bullet wound to the head. Chick surmises that the separate body was someone of Chinese descent. The Chinese community becomes involved, wanting to ensure the bodies get a proper burial. On a personal front, Leary and Sunny's relationship seems to be on the skids.
- Five year old Alex Woods goes missing, presumably drowned by the log booms in the Fraser River after he supposedly jumped or fell off a pier. The death becomes suspicious when Helen discovers that Alex's mother, Sarah, lost another child five years previous in another outdoor accidental situation. But Da Vinci has to walk a fine line as there is a possibility she is innocent in both deaths. The suspicions continue after they find Alex's body. Both Da Vinci and Kurtz are also concerned that Sarah has yet another infant child at home, and that at least the two youngest were somewhat unwanted pregnancies from the fathers' perspectives. Meanwhile, Dr. Ian Stroud dies in an automobile accident. During the autopsy, Sunny finds that Dr. Stroud was killed by a gunshot wound to the head, the reason it not noticed at the accident scene being that the bullet had exited his body and the shot was clean. The rationale for the shooting becomes clearer when Leary and Shannon discover he performed abortions and was on an anti-abortion hit list. They narrow down the killer after determining the shot was fired at close range. Elsewhere, Fred Turner is suspected of murdering his wife, Susan, based on speculation by a neighbor, Molly Wolnic, who had reported domestic disturbances at the Turners' previously. This time, she heard an argument, saw Fred carry something outside, and since that incident Susan has not been seen despite usually working in her garden. Fred seems like a up-front guy to Kosmo and LaBoucane, the investigators, until they catch him in a few lies, namely about some blood in the kitchen and stories about his missing dog, Ginger. It isn't until Susan's body is discovered that the full story emerges. Meanwhile, Leary learns what Shannon has been doing in his free time.
- Leary and Shannon are back at work following Josie's shooting. Leary is still feeling the emotions of the incident, and reflects on his life. Shannon wants to make Leary feel that he is there for him by telling him a dark secret about his past. With work, Kurtz delegates the worst jobs to them, their first case being an abandoned car belonging to Jessica Bailey. Homicide is investigating if only because there is a good deal of blood on the back seat. Jessica is missing despite having her car listed for sale. She is pregnant and soon to give birth. Her bank account has systematically been emptied. She was contemplating giving the baby up for adoption since her boyfriend was not too happy about the pregnancy. Meanwhile, the dead body of Donna Sykes is found in a motor boat run aground on the beach, the death an apparent suicide. Donna's husband, Warren, cannot understand why his wife would commit suicide, especially since she had just given birth to her first baby, a baby that the Sykes had been trying to conceive for quite some time. The cases of Jessica Bailey and Donna Sykes merge into one when Jessica Bailey is found, when Wanda's autopsy provides some interesting findings and when Warren finds some blood stained sheets in his house. Elsewhere, Patricia wants to use the deceased body of Queenie King to do an autopsy for her class, Da Vinci not too happy that Patricia seemed to purposely circumvent him to achieve the necessary approvals.

Da Vinci learns that Nelson was on antidepressants, the prescribing doctor - Dr. Ludlow - who has a history of over-prescription. Da Vinci is about to sign off that Nelson's medication dosage and his death have no relationship, until he learns more about the earlier death of Nelson's father, also with a history of depression and suicide attempts and whose doctor was also Dr. Ludlow. Meanwhile, Kurtz is pressuring Kosmo for results from the surveillance on Alex and Sarah regarding the body found under the concrete floor in one of Alex's houses. Kosmo turns up the heat on both Alex and Sarah. Kosmo is playing both husband and wife off each other, a tactic she openly plays to Sarah. As such, Sarah is feeling backed into a corner, and she turns to Danny for advice. The tactic pays off.

- 1998–200644m8.0 (20)TV EpisodeA pre-trial hearing is held in the suspected stabbing murder of Stacy Miller, a young female hiker, by Joel Hardy. Using Da Vinci's, Patricia's, and Homicide's notes from the initial investigation, Hardy's lawyer is trying to prove his client's innocence based on an alternative theory: that Miller was killed by a cougar attack--an alternative theory that had been considered during the coroner/pathologists exam. Da Vinci knows that is not the case, Patricia knows that is not the case, and Homicide knows that is not the case, but Hardy's lawyer is using the notes against their writers. To further support his case, Hardy's lawyer calls in an expert witness--a pathologist specializing in animal attacks--and subpoenas Sunny, who has to recall her discussions with Patricia and Da Vinci about the investigation. Elsewhere, Leary, Shannon and Da Vinci investigate the break-and-enter shooting death of Abigail Jefferson. A former cancer patient, Abigail was shot through the heart while in her bedroom, the murder weapon being her own gun. The murder occurred while her husband and two adult children were out shopping. The initial suspect is a neighborhood kid who does odd jobs for the Jeffersons. However, certain aspects of the Jeffersons' collective stories do not quite add up, including a delay between their finding the body and the call to 911. In addition, the investigators learn that Abigail's cancer was not in remission as she told her family. It isn't until Chick uncovers some evidence regarding the gun that the pieces of the story start to fall together. On other fronts, Morris Steadman continues his crusade to find evidence regarding foul play in his daughter's death, Da Vinci continues his relationship with Suzanne Reilly, and Shannon wrestles with the thought of putting his wife Lana into an extended care facility.
- McNab and Da Vinci find a dead body in the trunk of an abandoned car, a totaled car which was involved in a high-speed chase and eventual traffic accident. The second car is nowhere in sight. The dead man--Joseph Leroni, a known bank robber--died of carbon monoxide poisoning. The car, reported stolen, belongs to a Charlie Victor, who works at the racetrack as a trainer and whom Da Vinci personally knows more casually as Victor Charlie. Victor doesn't know Leroni or how the car got stolen (no sign of forcible entry). An eyewitness comes forward who can identify the driver of the other car. Da Vinci begins to learn the truth regarding the accident and Leroni's death when he confronts the driver. An unanswered question remains: who was chasing the car that caused the accident to occur. A second case that Da Vinci investigates involves the dead body of a homeless man found in former polar bear enclosure at Stanley Park: he appears to have died of a head injury. The victim was living in the former bear pit. Personal effects found in the pit indicate that he was a war hero. Leary and Shannon canvass the neighborhood for information about the homeless man, only hearing stories of an interesting old stranger. With personnel issues, Kurtz wants to recruit Rose Williams into Homicide, much to Shannon's chagrin. Leary isn't too excited about his and Kurtz's discussion about her wanting him to partner with someone else other than Shannon, a discussion he doesn't divulge to Shannon. Kosmo fosters her relationship with Sue, becoming a big sister in addition to being her unofficial handler. And still undercover, Danny Leary leaves Vancouver but not before emotional goodbyes to both Kosmo and his brother.
- In a back alley in the Downtown east side, Da Vinci and Zack McNab investigate a fatal hit and run. During the course of the investigation, the on duty female police constable reminds Da Vinci that during one of his drunken sprees a few years back, he made a play for her but had not called her since that night, her and the incident Da Vinci only vaguely remembers. Da Vinci later finds out that the constable is Zack's daughter, Ramona. Simultaneously around the corner from the hit and run, Shannon, Leary and robbery detective Rose Williams investigate the shooting homicide of a convenience store clerk named Jim. Jim was a popular figure in the neighborhood, running tabs for his regular customers until they received their bi-weekly welfare checks. Rose also mentions to Shannon and Leary that Jim had been robbed four times in the past two months by a historically non-violent junkie named Lucas Ross, a kid originally from a stable upper middle class family. After it was determined that Lucas had previously broken into the store to steal cash to support his habit, Jim preferred to hand over a small amount of cash to Lucas than to go through the pain and cost of any property damage caused by a break-in. Despite these robberies, Lucas was one of Jim's regulars and treated him as such. When the investigators learn of the other nearby incident, their exchange of information leads to them believing the two incidents tied together, them being able to piece together the outline of a credible story. That story leads to a stand off of sorts, including between Da Vinci, and detectives from three different divisions each having their own idea of what best to do. It could all go down in a blaze of bullets, that is unless Da Vinci's plan comes to fruition and comes off as he hopes, he putting his own life on the line in the process if he's wrong.
- Cory Wilkins, a squeegee kid, is beaten to death while washing a windshield. His girlfriend, Lily, happened upon the scene immediately following the beating and only caught a brief glimpse of a woman running away from the scene, that woman who either did the beating or possibly knows who did. They do find the woman, a junkie, who did witness the beating by the driver of the car she was chasing. They do identify the vehicle, which was reported stolen by its owner, Frank Carver. Leary, Shannon and Savoy recover some evidence from the found car and a possible murder weapon close to where the car was abandoned, which points to one probable suspect. Although the junkie girl cannot positively identify the suspect, Lily, who happened to be at the police station when the suspect is brought in, can. Da Vinci investigates the death of Janie Steadman, who was found in the aftermath of a house fire. Da Vinci rules the death accidental, the fire started by a tipped over candle. This information is insufficient for Janie's father, Morris Steadman, who wants to know exactly and everything that happened in his daughter's death. Not wanting to think that his daughter did anything wrong in her life (the autopsy identified cocaine in her system), Steadman hires a private investigator, Tom Sprawl, whose mandate seems to be to provide Steadman with the information he wants to hear. Sprawl seems to be working on his own motives. Back at the morgue, Patricia is facing a case of déjà vu - she is to perform an autopsy on a John Doe, but she swears she did an autopsy on that same man two days prior, that John Doe with a $50 bill in his right shoe, this John Doe with a $50 bill in his left shoe. Wayne backs up Patricia's memory of the situation. Are they going crazy or is there a plausible explanation for the two identical John Does? Da Vinci finds a piano for him and Patricia to buy as a present for Gabriella. The problem is getting the piano from its present location back to the house.
- Patricia, Sunny, and Kosmo's new assignments are progressing. Patricia gets an office at the university. Sonny learns of another skeleton found at the archaeological dig site. Kosmo gains the trust of the some of the girls and johns in her investigation of the missing prostitutes, thinking that they might assist in noticing unusual behavior during the course of their transactions. Kosmo also befriends a young prostitute named Sue, who is thus far pretty open about her dangerous life. Meanwhile, Da Vinci investigates two separate deaths. The first is of an elderly woman named Ariana Welles, who is found in a public park washroom after hours. Park maintenance was letting her sleep in the washroom at night, the door to which she barricaded from the inside. This fact seems odd since rumors are that she has enough money not to have to live on the street. Da Vinci later learns that she did have money, but had decided to live on the street for reasons of independence from her daughter. Back at the scene, a pair of scissors was found under her body, the scissors indicating that whoever may have killed her might have sustained injuries him/herself. Also at the scene, a young man named Dave seems oddly interested in the situation despite not knowing Ariana. In canvassing the neighborhood, Leary and Shannon learn about a hooker who took refuge at a local shelter the evening of the death, the hooker who looked to have been injured. This information leads back to Dave, who ultimately tells the story of Ariana's death. The other death Da Vinci is investigating is that of Jack Finnigan, who died of a heart attack in the back of limousine. One of Finnigan's business clients, Felix Reynard, thinks Finnigan was murdered because Finnigan allegedly swindled his clients, including Reynard. In the course of the investigation, a problem occurs when someone steals the limousine with Finnigan's body still in the back. Da Vinci eventually learns who stole the car and the body--a thief who was literally out for his pound of flesh.
- The dead body of Alexander Winchester is found in an apartment complex courtyard. An eyewitness who saw him fall from the sky. Alexander, a Jamaican national wanting to emigrate to Canada, was staying in his brother John's apartment in the complex. While canvassing the complex's tenants, Da Vinci learns that music was blaring from the apartment at the time of the incident and that Alexander was having an argument on the third floor with someone else or arguing with himself just before the fall. Leary and Shannon, investigating for Homicide, eventually speak to John, who was not present when the death occurred. John tells them that Alexander was a schizophrenic and that as such the Immigration Department was even denying him landed-immigrant status. Because of this, Alexander was living much of his existence in Canada under John's identity so that he could get work (as a dishwasher at a Gastown restaurant) and get medication for his illness. When Leary and Shannon learn that the restaurant where Alexander worked was raided by the Immigration Department the night before the death, they think they have the mystery of Alexander's death solved. Meanwhile, Da Vinci is wandering the streets of the Downtown Eastside looking for Rita Samuels to give her the unfortunate news of her brother's death. Between that task and trying to find a few minutes to grab some lunch, Da Vinci has philosophical chats with colleagues and locals about surveillance cameras, fly fishing, and life in general.
- A young John Doe is found dead in a locked boxcar in the railroad yard. Da Vinci accuses the railroad security guard of purposely locking him in the boxcar, an accusation the security guard does not take too kindly. Da Vinci's words have a greater impact than he could ever have imagined. With the John Doe's notebook in hand, Helen tries to determine who this young man was. If she can't, he will be ultimately be buried in a pauper's funeral. Da Vinci's second case is that of Roger Wilford, a jumper off the Burrard Street Bridge, Wilford's dead body which is fished out of English Bay. Leary and Shannon locate Eric, the man who was reported on the bridge with Wilford when he jumped. From Eric, they learn of Wilford's story before his death. Wilford's death ultimately hits Eric a little harder than he lets on. Back at the morgue, Patricia is doing the autopsy on Queenie King for her class, when she notices bruising on her wrists and ankles made by restraints. Queenie's death is now a possible homicide. Upon further investigation, Kosmo notices that some of the prostitutes in the area also have those same marks, which seem to be made by zap straps. Irish Billy Mulvaney, Queenie's pimp who is currently in custody, plea bargains and gives up a fellow by the name of Alex Mills, who according to Mulvaney is "up to some weird shit" with the hookers he picks up, such as restraining them. Kosmo thinks that Mills may have something to do with her missing prostitutes. Patricia also wants to find out about Queenie's tubal ligation, which she thinks was unnecessary. The doctor who is reported to have done the procedure Patricia learns has a suspected history of such unnecessary operations. Meanwhile, Leary is still quietly suffering pangs of guilt in Josie's death. To make matters worse, Sunny questions Leary about rumors she's heard about his possible personal involvement with Josie.
- As a favor to Gina Otaviani, Da Vinci looks into the case of Hanna Reese, a young incarcerated woman who gave birth in custody; the baby died shortly thereafter. Hanna tells of a difficult delivery made more difficult by harsh treatment by prison officials while in labor, especially guard Dolores Williams, who left Hanna shackled during delivery. The investigation shifts from the shackling to Hanna's prenatal care or lack thereof as a possible contributing factor of the death. It ends up being a case of he said/she said, with Da Vinci having to come to his own conclusions. Sunny's autopsy also uncovers some unsettling information about the baby's health status, which has major implications for all involved in the case. Meanwhile, Kosmo gets her surveillance team in place. Although they will monitor Alex's movement, they focus their surveillance on Sarah at the bar at which she works. Kosmo's team includes Junior and Alfie who have infiltrated the bar as regulars, Maria as waitress, and Danny Leary as bartender. Danny manages quickly to strike up a friendship cum relationship with Sarah to assist in the surveillance. On the personal side, Danny would like to start things up with Kosmo again, but Kosmo keeps her emotional distance. And Mick and Sunny's relationship totally deteriorates. At the archaeological dig site, Chick uncovers a notebook which may lead to the identity of the body with the bullet wound to the head.
