 mentions that he saw Lorenzo fight Leroy Steele once, a reference to the Season 3 episode Fight Night. Brass questions the girls and they all initially say that Happy was a nice person. He threatens to come down hard if he finds out that they are lying and they immediately pour out their discontentment about Happy's disgusting habits. One girl mentions about Binky, the "whorehouse" owner, and his disapproval of Happy's lifestyle. As the investigation goes on, the team are perplexed as Doc's autopsy reports seem to contradict the available evidence. One of the prostitutes, Dreama "confesses" that she killed Happy after hitting him in self-defence. Later, Brass questions Connor, a bartender, and he too "confesses" to killing Happy when he had shot an arrow at Happy in self-defence. However, test results confirm that Happy had died of anaphylaxis
