Riggs and Murtaugh respond to a noise complaint at a party at heavyweight boxer Ronald Dawson’s (guest star JASON DERULO) Hollywood hills home. When gunshots go off, they are drawn into a major case involving illegal gun-runners with advanced military technology. Riggs becomes personally invested in the case when he discovers one of their targets is a pregnant woman who reminds him of his deceased wife. Meanwhile, Trish (series star KEESHA SHARP) worries about Murtaugh’s health, as partnering with Riggs tests his limits.

Riggs and Murtaugh follow a violent case involving a drug cartel, theft, two killings and, unfortunately, Murtaugh’s old Training Officer, Ned Brower (guest star TED LEVINE). As the case unfolds, it turns out that Ned is more involved than just driving the cash, which leaves Murtaugh with an inevitably dangerous decision to make. Looking for back-up, the duo turns to Cruz (guest star RICHARD CABRAL) for help. In the midst of all the chaos, Riggs continues to depend on outside vices, rather than face the reality of Miranda’s death, while Murtaugh and Trish struggle to find alone time.

A string of burglaries hits close to home for Murtaugh when one occurs in his own neighborhood, and it gets just as personal for Riggs when another break-in ends in a casualty. Meanwhile, Roger Junior connects with an old friend who might be twisted up in some criminal action of his own.

When a million dollar casino heist takes a deadly turn, Riggs befriends the only credible witness, an eight-year-old boy, and takes him into his care. On the flip side, Murtaugh pulls some dangerous stunts in an attempt to prove to everyone that he can be a motorcycle guy. Meanwhile, Riggs contemplates what to do with the money he received from selling his home in Texas.

The whole precinct’s holiday celebrations are cut short when they’re called to examine a ruthless homicide linked to Eddie Flores (guest star RAUL CASSO), the deranged nephew of a notable drug lord who has a previous history with Riggs. The holiday season weighs heavily on Riggs, who flashes back to past Christmases with his late wife, Miranda. Murtaugh is also a little preoccupied with his neighbor’s obnoxious holiday decorations.
