Detective Jim Longworth walks toward the lab, clearly on a mission. Reading Jim's mind, Medical Examiner Carlos Sanchez catches up to him and asks if he's eaten lunch yet. Jim says he's in pursuit of lunch and asks Daniel Green if he got a hit on the BOLO he requested. Daniel hands him a piece of paper. Was the BOLO for a hit and run? Stolen vehicle? Nope. Jim is on the hunt for tacos. From out of nowhere, Bureau Chief Jennifer Starke appears behind Jim and Carlos. After hearing them mention lunch, she asks if she can come along. Jim tells her they're going to a famous taco food truck, The Art of Boar; the name is a clever spin-off of the famous book, The Art of War. Jim normally hits up the place for breakfast, but it wasn't in its usual spot and there were no Twitter updates on its location, so he put a BOLO out for it. Jennifer disapproves of Jim's use of a BOLO for lunch purposes, telling him that it's against FDLE policy. But since she's hungry, she'll let it slide this one time.
Jim, Carlos, and Jennifer walk up to a closed food truck sitting in a deserted parking lot. It's definitely not a desirable business location. Jim immediately senses something is off about the scene and snoops around the truck. He tries opening the back door, but it's locked. After calling out for Tony, the chef and owner, and not getting a response, Jim lifts himself up onto the ledge of the ordering window and peeks inside. He sees Tony dead and on his back, blood oozing out of his chest from a bullet wound.
Hungry onlookers form a line in front of Tony's truck, but Daniel corrals and disperses them, saying it's a crime scene. Standing away from the crowd, Jim talks to Callie on the phone, who tells him she's starting ER rounds with Miranda that day. After a cute game of "you hang up first," they disconnect.
Annoyed that he still hasn't had lunch, Jim meets up with Carlos, Jennifer, and Daniel. Carlos reports that Tony died from a single gunshot wound to the chest around 4 that morning. A full autopsy will rule out any secondary causes, but it is pretty obvious the murder weapon was a gun. Daniel says the cash register was empty. Could this have been a robbery gone bad? Jim says that it's doubtful because food trucks are a cash only business and robbing one at the beginning of the shift wouldn't make sense. He thinks it's a murder staged to look like robbery. Jennifer listens intently, somewhat impressed by Jim's train of thought. She asks him if Tony had any enemies. Jim says he probably did because he was considered to be a rock star of the food truck business. He always had a long line of customers and a ton of Twitter fans, but he was also a hard ass and was very particular about his food and any special requests he received. Inside the truck, Carlos tells the team that the shooter was standing inside the truck by the passenger door when he or she pulled the trigger. The bullet went into Tony and through the refrigerator door behind him. Carlos opens the door, revealing a hanging leg of ham with a bullet in it: a 9 mm. Jim notes that Tony seemed like the kind of guy who would have a gun for protection and wonders aloud if the shooter got to the gun before he did. Jennifer asks Jim if he has any suspects and he mentions that he knows one food truck owner who hated Tony. Jim heads off to his car with Jennifer in tow. Jim doesn't want her tagging along, so he tells her he doesn't really do the whole "partner thing." She asks how she's supposed to shadow him and Jim just grins and suggests she look through The Art of War for a crafty move. He gets into his car and speeds off, leaving Jennifer there, ever-so-slightly amused.
Young 20-somethings hang out by the boardwalk, waiting in line for some grub from the Red Koi food truck, which is known for its delicious Korean BBQ. Jim jumps into the truck and owner Lana Kim quickly pulls out a bat, ready to fight. She tells him to get out of the truck or she'll hit him. Jim quickly flashes his badge as Lana drops the bat and apologizes, telling Jim she's been on edge ever since what happened to Tony. She recognizes Jim as the "annoying guy who can't handle spicy food." Lana turns her back to him and continues cooking. He smirks, telling her that he noticed her lines have gotten longer now that Tony's gone. Lana doesn't like what he is insinuating. He tells her that he knew Tony was her biggest competitor and Korean food is a bit of a harder sell in the area. He also said he knows they had a lot of beefs recently, but Lana chalks that up to normal chef rivalry, although at the end of the day, they respected each other. Jim asks her where she was at 4 a.m. and she tells him she was sleeping, like every other chef except Tony, who would get up around that time to start braising his boar. Jim asks for some food to go. Lana looks annoyed.
Dr. Miranda Buckley stands at the nurses' station looking over paperwork. Callie and three other medical students stand in a cluster. A fourth one runs up and joins the group. Miranda, not pleased with his tardiness, quickly moves down the hallway to start the rounds. The students all follow as Callie sidles up next to her and tries to break the ice. Callie says she's very happy to be there and thinks she could learn from her. Miranda smiles and asks if Callie has picked a specialty yet. She responds that she's thinking about emergency medicine. It's something she has experience in and she likes the fast pace and variety. Miranda says that she needs to pick a hospital that's the right fit for her; that is, if she even gets an offer. She hands Callie the patient's chart and she quickly scans it as Miranda address the group, telling them that the patient is exhibiting difficulty breathing and has a history of heart failure. Callie points out that if he had a central venous catheter it would be easier to monitor the measurement of his right atrial pressure. Miranda holds a needle and stares at Callie; she's one step ahead of her, but seems impressed with her knowledge. Miranda inserts the finder needle into the carotid artery, but has trouble placing it at the right angle. The patient winces. She tries again with the same result. Callie offers to help since she's done this a million times as a nurse, and takes the needle from Miranda. A second later, the procedure is finished and the patient is comfortable. Everyone seems impressed, except for Miranda, who gives Callie a dirty look. Callie realizes she completely embarrassed her. She blew it.
