Malcolm Bright uses his background and extraordinary experience as the son of a serial killer to power his career as a criminal psychologist, stop killers like his father, and help the NYPD solve crimes.
Bright has to 'take care' of his sister and protect his mother from a secret that could tear the family apart all over again. To distract himself, Malcolm takes on a new case.
When a priest is found murdered in his place of worship, Bright grapples with its effect on his own trauma. Martin tries to help with the case.
The headmaster of Bright's alma mater is murdered, Jessica struggles with her decision about Gil, Martin grows closer to Friar Pete, and JT anticipates his baby's birth.
Martin is delighted when he is allowed direct involvement with one of Malcolm's cases, and Ainsley suspects Malcolm may be hiding something from her.
Malcolm and Ainsley both race to find the killer in the so-called 'Debutante Slayings', but Ainsley's persistence has Malcolm worried about her motive.
The team investigates the murder of an architect who was tasked with renovating a supposedly haunted hotel.
Malcolm, still reeling from the latest events with Ainsley, focuses on the next case, in which a famous plastic surgeon is murdered. Martin gets a new job working in the infirmary.
Europol profiler Simon Hoxley claims that Major Crimes's case is connected to the discovery of Endicott's body overseas. Meanwhile, Martin gets to know Dr Vivian Capshaw.
Bright throws himself into a new case involving an escalating killer that has Edrisa's online vigilante group, known as the 'Killabustas', trying to stop him.
As Malcolm distances himself from Martin, Jessica does the opposite. Martin is desperate to get in touch with his son ahead of his imminent plans.
After a terrifying incident at Claremont, Malcolm faces a race against time to track down multiple killers.
As the search intensifies for a serial killer on the run, so does Malcolm's tenacity, causing U.S. Marshal Emily Ruiz to kick him off the case. However, Malcolm doesn't back down that easily.
The search for a serial killer known as 'The Woodsman' might help the NYPD to find one of their own.
