Welcome to Los Angeles, circa 1982, during the rock 'n' roll, cocaine-infused revelry of the Sunset Strip. But all is not glitter as there's a serial killer on the loose, and two detectives find themselves on one of the toughest cases of their careers, on the series premiere.
Jack looks into a woman from the killer's past; Betty and Kent go to a club in search of a victim; Karen receives a job offer; a menacing former flame tries to reconnect with Betty.
Zack's partner for a school project is the new girl at Bayside, a tough biker who is not at all impressed with him.
Jack and Paco identify Kent as the killer; Kent breaks up with Betty and the two try to conceal their identities; Karen receives an ominous phone call from Kent during a live television interview.
When Betty introduces Kent to her children, Jimmy endangers her relationship by blackmailing her; Jack and Paco continue their investigation and find evidence inside Kent's auto shop; Jack and Diane explore their feelings for each other.
