“East Pasadena” continued to tackle the dramas of last week’s dual episode season premiere.

The episode centers around the death of Amanda Russell, a US Marine returned home from the Middle East. Amanda discovered that corrupt city council members and police were lining their pockets with kickbacks and extortion.  

In a murder conspiracy members of the council and police officer Lt. Petracelli decide to silence Amanda permanently and frame her boyfriend.
