Tonight on TNT, The Closer returns! The series follows Brenda, the feisty detective as she works hard to track down criminals in Los Angeles. What’s to come for the fifth season of the show? Read on for some information on the season and check out a clip from tonight’s episode.

Here’s some information provided by TNT on what’s to come for Brenda in the fifth season of The Closer:

“For the fifth season, THE CLOSER will explore the issue of change. Just as Brenda starts adjusting to married life, she loses someone very dear to her. In addition, the intra-office conflict between Sgt. Gabriel and Det. Daniels is resolved for good and another squad member goes through a complete attitude change after falling in love. The economy forces one of Brenda’s detectives to take a second job, while the fatal shooting of a suspect leads to career complications for another.

Even through the changes, Brenda and her Major Crimes unit will be hard at work tracking down some of Los Angeles’ toughest criminals. This year they’ll tackle such cases as the possible kidnapping of a corrupt financier, a multiple homicide involving a family, the killing of a security guard at a gang rehabilitation center and the shooting death of a white supremacist.”

And below is a description for tonight’s season opener:

““Products of Discovery” When Brenda’s squad investigates the quadruple murder of a family, she accidentally stumbles into the middle of an FBI investigation that may have been a factor in the homicide. Meanwhile, Provenza’s ebullient mood has suddenly turned sour. Lee Tergesen (Oz, TNT’s Wanted) guest stars.”

The Closer premieres Monday, June 8 at 9 p.m. (ET/PT) on TNT.
