Detectives Briscoe and Logan investigate the locker room assault on a rising young tennis star, Korey Burke. Her wrist was broken and it likely spells the end of her career as a pro tennis player. At first they suspect a rival, Allison Hall but then focus on the girl's father who they think might have wanted to find a way for Korey to keep her sponsorship contracts without actually having to play - and perhaps lose. The case seems to come full circle again when evidence points to Allison's boyfriend as the culprit. The solution lies elsewhere however.

This episode is based on the Tonya Harding case. In January of 1994, Olympic figure skater Nancy Kerrigan was attacked and hit hard in the knee. Harding, her prime competition was suspected of the crime but denied any involvement. Weeks later, Harding admitted her involvement in exchange for a plea bargain where she served no jail time. Also charged were Harding's ex-husband, Jeff Gillooly, bodyguard Shawn Eckhardt, Shane Stant and Derrick Smith. Harding began a new career as a boxer in the 2000s.
This episode has some resemblance to the January 6, 1994 incident involving Nancy Kerrigan. She was an American figure skater who was smashed in the knee by an unknown assailant at a figure skating event. The character, Korey, in this episode was a pro tennis player and had her wrist broken by an unknown assailant. Tonya Harding was later convicted for the assault on Nancy Kerrigan. There was some speculation that Nancy had done this to herself, because she was buckling from all the pressure, but this was later disproven when Tonya was arrested and convicted. This episode took that speculation from this real life incident and actually applied it as part of the storyline. They used different sports, different areas of the body that were injured in the attacks, but the parallels were definitely there.
