Angela enters Temperance’s office and tries to hurry her to leave so they can go to a club. Temperance stalls but Angela finally achieves her objective.
Temperance and Angela are having a drink at the bar in The Bassment. Temperance appears to be awkward in the social setting. On the dance floor, Temperance starts discussing the tribal nature of the music and comments that she really likes the music. A woman misinterprets the remarks and is offended by them. Several angry people gather around her as Temperance tries to explain what she means. A woman asks her, “Are you calling me an animal, fool?” Another woman replies, “No fool. She’s using Descartes’ philosophy to say she’s down with the music,” and a fight ensues. Temperance and Angela start to leave the dance floor and a man tries to stop them. Temperance kicks him into a wall and the bricks fall out. A white powder cascades over the crowd and a mummified body is revealed to be behind the wall.
Seeley arrives at The Bassment with Tessa because their dinner date was interrupted when Seeley got the call about the case. Agent Furst explains that a cloud of Crystal Methamphetamine covered the dance floor and that Angela and Temperance inhaled quite a bit of it. Temperance is extremely agitated. She is pacing and trying to keep the officers from touching the crime scene. Seeley is amused by her behavior. He asks Hall who the man in the wall is and Hall says he doesn’t know. Jack and Zack arrive. Tessa is disgusted by the sight of the body and leaves. Seeley tells Hall he needs a list of all club employees and he orders an agent to run the names through the system to check for prior drug convictions. Seeley asks Temperance how long it will take to identify the body and she answers: “Well, I’m not at all tired so I’m sure I can stay up all night and work.” She smiles at the body as she pushes the cobwebs aside and says, “My first modern mummy.”
At the lab, Temperance and Angela are exhausted from working all night and ingesting the drug. Seeley arrives and the team explains to him that the victim died instantly from inhaling a large overdose of Crystal Methamphetamine and was mummified due to the “dry air convection behind the wall” removing the moisture from his body. Jack estimates that the body was in the wall for 6 weeks. Seeley notices that the hands are missing and asks what happened to them.
Temperance and Seeley enter another part of the lab. She has re-hydrated the hands and they discuss the case as she peels the flesh from the bones and puts it on like a glove to get fingerprints. Seeley squirms and looks the other way as he watches the operation. Temperance enters the fingerprints into the computer.
Temperance and Angela ask Seeley if the FBI found a match for the fingerprints and he identifies the victim as Roy Taylor. Angela recognizes the name and tells them that it is DJ Mount, who was a popular DJ at the club.
In her office, Temperance and Seeley discuss the fact that rap artists sometimes kill each other over the music. She leaves to meet the FBI forensics team at the club.
In his office, Seeley meets with Hall. They discuss the case. Hall excuses his bodyguard. As the bodyguard is leaving, he and Seeley make eye contact. Once the bodyguard has left the office, Hall indicates that there was conflict between Mount and Rulz but claims he has no details.
At The Bassment, Temperance and Zack look for evidence behind the wall and find footprints. Temperance tells the agents they need to go inside the wall to look for more evidence.
Roy Taylor’s father visits Seeley at his office. Taylor’s father tells Seeley he knows his son had nothing to do with drugs. Seeley assures the father that he will find out what happened to Roy.
Temperance and Zack examine the scene behind the wall. They find scrape marks and a blood smear on the wall. Temperance finds another piece of evidence and retrieves it.
At the lab, Seeley fills Temperance in on the rivalry between Mount and Rulz as she examines the blood and skin on the piece of jewelry she found behind the wall. Angela enters and asks Seeley if he buys jewelry for Tessa but he declines to comment. Temperance determines that whoever was wearing the jewelry was behind the wall at the same time Taylor was there. Angela comments that it must have hurt to have the stud ripped out of the navel and Temperance states that she thought it was an earring. Jack enters with Taylor’s eyes in a beaker. He states that there were traces of low-density polyethylene residue and methamphetamine crystals in them. Jack surmises that the plastic is from the drug bag. Temperance finds that the bag was pushed against his face with a great deal of force; therefore, his death was not an accident. They discover that the “Love Rulz” is engraved on the navel stud.
Temperance and Seeley visit Rulz at his studio. They find that he and Taylor did not get along and that Taylor was dating, Eve Warren, Rulz’s ex-girlfriend. Rulz tells them he has not seen her and that she has a child for whom her brother, George, is guardian. Temperance notices a scar and he explains that he was shot in the wrist.
In the car, Temperance and Seeley debate over the case and where he should go on his vacation.
At the lab, Zack relays to Temperance that he found evidence that Taylor’s head was forced to the right. He also found a small indentation in the skull, which he has not been able to identify.
Temperance and Seeley visit George Warren and discuss Eve’s whereabouts. George tells them that he hasn’t seen her in 6 weeks and that she gave him cash when she left her daughter Maya with him. They ask for a recent photo and explain that she might have been with Taylor when he was murdered. Seeley offers to buy the cash for double the value and George agrees.
Jack tells Seeley the methamphetamine on the money matches what was found on Taylor’s body. Seeley offers a theory of what happened and asks Jack what he thinks. Jack is reluctant to give his opinion, but Seeley urges him. They brain storm about possible events and motive.
Temperance and Angela deduce that Taylor was following Eve behind the wall based on his neck injury. Seeley arrives and offers his opinion that Taylor was chasing Eve because of the money and the drugs. Angela runs a computer scenario of what happened behind the wall based on the data the team has collected from the evidence. They discover that Taylor turned his head in the opposite direction from Eve and couldn’t turn it back because the passage way had become too narrow. They surmise that Eve could not have killed him and that a person was following him. The third person is the killer and couldn’t get to Eve behind the wall because Taylor’s body blocked the path.
At FBI headquarters, Seeley interrogates Hall’s bodyguard. He finds that the body guard is really Special Agent Oakes and is working under cover trying to bust Hall for drug trafficking. Oakes discloses that Hall’s real name is Terrence Baskin. Oakes tells Seeley that he doesn’t think Taylor is the one who stole the drugs and money from Hall.
Temperance and Seeley visit Hall at The Bassment and question him about hiding the information regarding his true identity. Hall professes his innocence and claims that he is simply a club owner and record producer and Baskin is his past. Temperance wants to know if “the rivalry between Mount and Mr. Rulz was strong enough to lead to murder” and Hall eagerly points out that Rulz recently built a new studio and that the cement for the building was poured the day after Taylor and Eve disappeared. Seeley tells Temperance that he needs to find a way to get a warrant to look for Eve’s body in the cement floor of the studio. She says she will make a phone call.
Temperance introduces Seeley to Tutti the cadaver dog. Seeley is skeptical but goes along with it anyway. Tutti indicates a spot on the floor by lying down and Temperance draws a chalk outline around it. She tells Seeley to start looking in that spot because Tutti has never been wrong.
At the lab, the team confirms that the remains from the cement slab of Rulz’s studio are those of Eve Warren and that she died around the same time as Taylor did. Temperance wants Zack to examine her skull to see if he finds a similar mark on it as the one found on Taylor’s skull.
In the lounge at the Jeffersonian, Angela talks with Seeley and Tessa about their vacation plans and relationship. She makes them nervous when she mentions that this vacation is the next step in their relationship before living together. As Tessa is leaving, Temperance arrives to tell Seeley what they’ve found. The cause of death is the same as Taylor’s. She doesn’t think Rulz killed her because her wrist was broken.
Temperance explains that Eve was smashed into the wall from behind and her wrist was broken when the killer pulled her arm up behind her back and twisted it with his right hand as he pressed the drug bag forcefully to her face with his left hand. The damage to Rulz’s wrist would prevent him from having the strength to do it.
Seeley and Temperance interrogate Rulz at the FBI headquarters. Seeley makes a deal with Rulz to arrest him and have him sent to jail for a month in exchange for information about the murders. Rulz tells them that Taylor was going to switch recording labels and that Hall built the studio for Rulz the day after Taylor and Eve disappeared.
Zack finds a mark on Eve’s skull that is similar to the one he found on Taylor’s skull. Temperance tells Zack to compare the two dimples to see if they are an exact match. Seeley offers a possible scenario and Temperance says they need evidence. Zack says that the dimples are a match but Temperance doesn’t know what made them. Seeley leaves to go put pressure on Hall and Temperance follows him.
Seeley accuses Hall of murder. Hall becomes angry and tells Seeley it is harassment. He pokes Seeley with the handle of his cane and Temperance gives the can a knowing look. Seeley wrestles the cane away from Hall and knocks him to the ground as Oakes pulls a gun on Seeley. After Seeley punches Oakes and takes the gun from him, he gives it to Temperance who points it at Oakes. Seeley starts to break the cane over his knee and Temperance stops him telling him they need it as evidence. He arrests Hall so they can confiscate the cane.
Angela tells Temperance that Tessa changed her mind about going on vacation with Seeley while Jack and Zack make an impression of the cane handle for comparison with the marks on both skulls. The impression matches and proves that Hall is the killer.
Seeley sits alone at the bar in Wong Fu’s having a drink and watching the news about the case on television. Temperance enters and he turns the television off as she comes up to the bar. He tells her that Tessa is not going on vacation with him because something came up at work. They talk and he alludes to the two of them going on vacation together but does not actually ask her to go. She smiles and tells him she will see him next week. He leaves and she reaches for the drink he left behind but pulls her hand away instead.
