Detective Shaw (Mehcad Brooks) continues to struggle to acclimate to his new position alongside the stubborn Frank Cosgrove (Jeffrey Donovan). Meanwhile, ADAs Nolan Price (Hugh Dancy) and Samantha Maroun (Odelya Halevi) grow closer while learning the ropes from McCoy. Season 22 has been an exciting watch, with many ripped-from-headlines storylines stirring up trouble for McCoy and his detectives.
