Telemystery: The Closer's Final Episodes, Premiere of Perception on TNT

A new crime drama premieres tomorrow, Monday July 9th, on TNT: Perception.

But first … The Closer returns at 9 PM (ET/PT) with the first of its final six episodes. (It will morph into Major Crimes in August.) The episode is titled "Hostile Witness" but we can't find much more about it; here's a brief synopsis: "The seventh and final season resumes with Brenda tangling with her nemesis, lawyer and suspected rapist-murderer Philip Stroh. Brenda pulls a shock-and-awe courtroom maneuver that may jeopardize an entire case, putting her at odds with the new D.A."

Immediately following at 10 PM (ET/PT) is Perception. Eric McCormack stars as Dr. Daniel Pierce, an eccentric neuroscience professor with paranoid schizophrenia who is recruited by the FBI to help solve complex cases. Pierce has an intimate knowledge of human behavior and a masterful understanding of the way the mind works. He also has an uncanny ability to see patterns and look past people's conscious emotions to see what lies beneath.

Pierce's mind may be brilliant, but it's also damaged. He struggles with hallucinations and paranoid delusions brought on by his schizophrenia. Oddly, Daniel considers some of his hallucinations to be a gift. They occasionally allow him to make connections that his conscious mind can't yet process. At other times, the hallucinations become Daniel's greatest curse, leading him to behave in irrational, potentially dangerous ways.

In the pilot episode, which airs Monday, Pierce zeroes in on the death of a pharmaceutical executive.
