Someone was writing 'die' on the walls of his house. Upon investigating, the team discovers that similar to Nolan, Rodge has made several law enforcement officers upset with his songs.
This broadens the list of suspects. By the end, it becomes clear that the threats came from a neighbor attempting to scare Rodge. The subplot is resolved, and Rodge's character offers opportunities for fresh dynamics within the team.
