‘Major Crimes’ season 4 spoilers: First look at summer finale

Has this season of “Major Crimes” blown by for many of you? While this show may have a pretty lengthy season by some cable standards, the fact that it is broken up into halves can at times make it actually feel significantly shorter than it really is.

Therefore, it feels somewhat jarring that the summer finale for the show is airing on August 10, which really is now that far away at all. Just in case you are curious about what to expect from this big episode, here’s what we can tell you for now: The name is “Fifth Dynasty,” and among the stories you can expect to see here is a complicated case that features a variety of different dots. Connecting them will be the challenge. Malcolm-Jamal Warner is among the episode’s guest stars, and you can see the synopsis below:

“After Major Crimes identifies a murder victim as the son of State Superior Court Judge known for being tough on criminals, (Patricia Wettig), the squad hunts through her current case load, which involves an Aryan motorcycle gang and, much to their surprise, connected to the disappearance of a thirteen-year-old boy.”

To us, the biggest surprise here is that Rusty is not even mentioned directly in this, which is slightly surprising given that he does have one of the most consistent story arcs throughout the season so far. Granted, remember here that this is just a single sentence, and parts of this could ultimately be connected anyway to what he is working on.
