 Under
the orders of the National Bureau of Investigation (N.B.I.), Connor
McCabe arrives in Santa Barbara to investigate the murder of Frank
Goodman, the man responsible for the sexual abuse of young B.J. Walker.
Connor
directs his investigation to Sawyer, B.J. 's brother. But this latter
flees from Santa Barbara to escape. That's when Connor reviews his
suspicions about Sawyer by learning that Cruz Castillo wrote a
confession letter in which he confesses the murder, before also fleeing to Mexico. As he knows Cruz's integrity, an exemplary police detective,
Connor doubts of his guilt. This is the finding that Cruz is in fact
B.J.'s father that leads him to believe that Cruz accused himself of the
murder to protect his daughter. Connor then goes to San Francisco to
arrest B.J.. It will turn out, however, that if B.J. was really present
at Frank's death, this latter actually committed suicide. The case is
hereby closed.
This
investigation with many developments will have had at least the positive
effect for Connor to get closer to Kelly Capwell, Cruz's sister-in-law
then girlfriend. After the departure of this latter, he manages to
seduce Kelly. To please her, Connor follows Kelly's advice and conducts
a discreet investigation on Ken Mathis, the new husband of her mother,
Sophia. This new investigation enables them both to get closer, and
Connor takes the place left vacant by Cruz's departure in Kelly's heart
and in the police forces. Became the new fair and straight detective of the show, Connor finally discovers Ken's former wives all
died poisoned. In the final episode, Connor even turns to be able to
face all the dangers, while disarming Andi Klein at B.J. and Warren
Lockridge's wedding.
It
is to Kelly that Connor opens up on a personal drama about which he
speaks very rarely : the death of her sister Molly, for whom he feels
responsible. While he was working undercover to dismantle a drug
trafficking, Connor made himself pass for a drug addict, and this even
towards with his parents and his sister. It was while helping him that
this latter was killed during a drugs exchange. Since then, his parents
have denied him forever. This wound never closed, and reveals a weakness
in the personality of Connor who seemed until then a man sure of himself
and without flaws.
The
relationship between Connor and Kelly thus gains in intensity with the
weeks. Connor and Kelly form a loving couple, at least till
the end of the show...
