There are thirteen episodes in the final season of Major Crimes, a five-part Sanctuary City starts the series followed by the four parts of Conspiracy Theory and ending the series with the four parts of By Any Means. Among these episodes are some well written splendidly acted stories touching facets of police work only found with homicide investigations.

It unfortunately takes two plus episodes that easily could have been shrunk to less than one for the plot to be weighted down with extra-curricular activities outside the actual crimes; I am quite well aware producers tell writers to blend in the sickening non-police stories with the actual cases at hand. But please, for the final season, suggest we remove the Sharon-Andy drivel and certainly eradicate the Rusty-Gus crap. This viewer does not want to see unrelated pretend pathos coming from bit part members or a questionable cop-to-cop relationship that does not help solve crimes.

Parts one and two build to an exceptional part three where there is more police action, less drivel is shown and a climax is building for final part four. Episode three ends with two critical scenes, Dr. Landon is found shot to death in his car while Commander Raydor experiences a heart attack while arriving to investigate the homicide.

Landon was guilty of raping the women employees of the saloons owned by Craig Curtis, a bulletin had been released to the media naming Landon as the suspect guilty of several rapes and likely connected to certain killings of the women victims. Originally Bonnie Pearl was found in her vehicle shot to death and Major Crimes was in process of discovering the crimes Bonnie must have discovered perpetrated by Landon at Curtis's restaurants; Landon was certainly suspected of Bonnie's murder.

Near the close of the part-three-episode, women were coming forward to name Landon, others had committed suicide or absolutely wanted nothing to do the whole mess, despite bodies of women found raped then suffocated. Episode three of Conspiracy Theory is wonderful yet it took so long to get to it, a must watch for certain and an episode four wraps things up for the so-called conspiracy.
