In the series premiere, we meet Bob, who runs his family’s successful, highly competitive sock company with his mother, Dottie (series star CHRISTINE EBERSOLE), his sister, Christina (series star MARIBETH MONROE), and his younger brother, Douglas (series star MATT JONES). When the stress of the job lands him in the hospital, he meets Abishola, his kind, hard-working nurse whom he’s immediately drawn to. Now all Bob needs to do is convince her to give him a chance, which will take some doing since they couldn’t be more different. After coming to America from Nigeria to find a better life for her and her son, Dele (series star TRAVIS WOLFE, JR.), a straight-A student, Abishola lives in a small apartment with her super-protective relatives, Auntie Olu (series star SHOLA ADEWUSI) and Uncle Tunde (series star BARRY SHABAKA HENLEY). Abishola’s close friends include fellow nurse Gloria (series star VERNEE WATSON) and Kemi (series regular GINA YASHERE).

The BAU is called after three victims are found tied to stakes in the Arizona desert.

Brenda's squad investigates the murder of a former gang banger, but evidence indicates the victim may not have been the target.

It's up to Brenda to prove otherwise.
