I'll capture and post a video clip if you can help me identify which show. Do you remember any of the major plot points? How about the date it aired?

Here, as best I can tell, are the most recent episodes and their plots:

The Closer - Cherry Bomb
Monday, September 01 5/4c
PLOT: After reporting to the police that she had been raped by a classmate, a high-school girl apparently hangs herself in her bedroom. But Brenda is not so sure it’s a suicide, given the fact that the suspect is the son of the LA Sheriff's deputy commander.

The Closer - Speed Bump
Monday, September 01 4/3c
PLOT: A recently paroled murderer is found dead in an alley near a halfway house, the victim of a hit and run. Brenda must tread carefully, because the crime for which the victim was convicted was a major press event in Los Angeles.

The Closer - Live Wire
All New Episodes, Mondays at 9/8c
PLOT: A man wearing a surveillance wire in downtown Los Angeles is shot to death at point blank range and the first person on the scene is none other than Ricardo Ramos, who covers Priority Homicide for the Los Angeles Times.

This episode airs again this weekend on TNT.

This episode featuring a rare 1980 LS Rx-7 airs again on TNT this weekend and again next week. Check your listings for correct times on TNT.

Original Air Date: 11 August 2008 (Season 4, Episode 5) Dial "M" for Provenza

US TV Schedule:
Sat. Aug. 16 10:00 AM TNT Dial M for Provenza #4.5
Mon. Aug. 18 8:00 PM TNT Dial M for Provenza #4.5

Plot:
Provenza stops to gaze at an awesome classic japanese sports car and goes undercover as a professional hit man to get to the bottom of a murder-for-hire ring.


(Full synopsis) Provenza plays kissy face with a statuesque blonde. She wants pancakes. He tells her, "Angie, I just killed your husband an hour ago, I don't want pancakes." She tells him she owns half a car dealership now, they can afford pancakes.

Cut to Brenda, Buzz and Flynn in a van nearby, listening in. Flynn can't decide which is more nauseating, that the woman tried to have her husband killed or that she's hitting on Provenza.

He tries to get her to close the deal, but she wants proof her husband is dead. Flynn calls with the news. She fake cries, covering the phone and giggling to Provenza. He tries to get her to give him the money. She does. Narrates Tao: "Money is exchanged, and so ends another Provenza date."

Provenza promises her that she hasn't seen the last of him. The team comes out and arrests her. She looks at Provenza. "He didn't tell me he was lying to me, so you can't arrest me for anything," she pleads.

Brenda needs her to sign a waiver so she can take her from Bakersfield back to LA. She resists until Provenza promises her a romantic lunch. He and Flynn lock the evidence in the trunk of his car. They take her inside for lunch, passing a rowdy group of young people on their way out. They sit with their backs to the window, so Angie has a great view when the kids steal Provenza's car. He goes out to look for his cell phone, which he has left in his car. Which is now gone.

Back at the office, Fritz finds the whole thing funny as Provenza and Flynn try to reassure Brenda the case isn't lost. They bring in Angie's husband, who is not thrilled his wife has tried to have him killed. He wants to know where she got the money. Then Flynn gets to explain to the supposed victim that he can't have back his wallet, lent for the sting operation, because it was stolen.

Brenda tries to explain things to Pope, including the "small complication." Pope listens sternly then busts out giggling at the punchline, which becomes less funny when it appears true. He tells her if the situation isn't resolved in 48 hours, Provenza - who makes the most money in the unit after Brenda - will have to retire.

ProFlynza talk to Mr. Serabian, the intended victim, at the station. He wants to leave and they let him.

Tao reports they found the thief's girlfriend's address because she paid for the food by check. It's under surveillance. Brenda tells ProFlynza to find Mr. Serabian and keep an eye on him. Brenda and Gabriel track` Angie. She leaves home, her husband's guest house, in a cab and goes to her husband's car dealership. Proflynza pull up, having tracked Mr. Serabian to the dealership. They put it together too late. Angie comes out screaming that her husband has been shot. She's seems distraught at first and then starts yelling that she's rich, seeing the silver (gold?) lining.

The next day, Sanchez is staking out the car thief's apartment. The coroner says Mr. Serabian was killed 15 minutes before they got there. Because they saw her walk in, Angie's in the clear.

They found $20,000 cash in his drawer. Brenda wonders if she hired someone else to kill her husband.

Pope walks in and Brenda tells him the case is closed. But he sees the picture of a dead Mr. Serabian on the wall. Sanchez brings in one of the guys who stole Provenza's car. Provenza wants to talk to him, but first goes into Brenda's office to grab a picture of Brenda's mother. "He's awfully fond of my mother," Brenda tells an onlooking Pope. He shows the photo to the suspect, asking if he knows who it's of. "Your daughter?" the suspect jokes. Provenza tells him the photo is of the woman he killed whose car he stole. He quickly confesses to just the theft and Provenza demands to be taken to it.

Brenda talks to Angie, who calls the LAPD "the worst police department in the world."

At his car, Provenza is thrilled to find the tape still in the camera. But the money was fake.

At the station, the team watches the tape - which cuts out at the end with footage of the car thief before Angie is trapped.

Pope reminds Brenda time is running out for Provenza.

They go check out the floor safe in Mr. Serabian's office. They use a tow truck, hooked from outside, to try to pop it open. It goes crashing through the car dealership wall, but Tao gets it open back at the station. It has a gun, one bullet missing, and $20,000 cash.

Brenda goes to talk to Provenza, who's sulking. She gives him a pep talk. "Pull it together. For the next hour I need the stubborn, cynical, suspicious know-it-all you've always tried to be. After that, we'll see."

They go talk to Angie, showing her the funny money. Brenda wants to know how she got the combination to the safe. Her husband's brother gave it to her.

Brenda and Gabriel speak to the living Mr. Serabian. She tells him she thinks Angie did it. But, Brenda has a few "loose threads to stitch up," which he's all too happy to help with.

They tell him the gun matched the one that killed his brother, which means Angie knew the combination, so it would be super helpful if he would just tell them he gave it to her. He's happy to oblige. He creates a scene that puts him and Angie arguing and Alex walking in then Angie grabbing the gun and shooting him.

Brenda breaks the bad news that they watched Angie walk in and out and she didn't have time for any of that. Therefore, the only explanation is that he killed his brother. Guess who gets the other half of the car dealership?

Brenda turns up the heat and he confesses, except he says he wasn't aiming at him. Brenda's content to let the jury sort that out.

Brenda goes to give Provenza the good news. He's working on Angie, flirting with her to get her to confess. It's working, as the team looks on from the viewing room. Provenza takes her hand to seal the deal, saying he knows she didn't kill Alex. She says the magic words, worrying that he was only interested in her because she was paying him to kill her husband.

The old dog's still got it. He tells her she just confessed to attempted murder and kisses her hand.

Provenza drops in to chat with Pope, telling him he's never going to retire. "The only way I'm going to leave the Los Angeles police department is if I get shot, have a heart attack and then you run me over, after which I will consider a disability position."

Pope wants to know why. Provenza tells him he promised his first wife she'd get half of his pension when he retires. That, Pope understands. He's in a distressingly similar position. They share a drink. "Til death do us part," Provenza says.
