### Chaz Wyatt and Wedding Breakup

### Swingers' Club and Hookup

Kara went undercover with Miles to find a woman who was stealing expensive items from men in swingers' clubs. Between observing people in the clubs and reviewing security footage, they figured out that Kayla was the thief. They went back to the club and followed her into a room, where they found her with a stolen item and the drugs she used to sedate the man. Multiple people in the club were then arrested because they had drugs on them as well. After the case was over, Kara and Miles ended up hooking up. *("The Dex Files")*

### Investigating Dex

Kara worked the case with Cosgrove when Dex was arrested for the murder of Thomas Junes. Miles later revealed to her that Dex had motive, which she immediately told Cosgrove.

She then revealed to him that Kale Murphy wasn't on the run that he'd suggested, but dead. *("All Hands on Dex")*

#### Miles Hoffman
