Tamara revealed her intention to move out to Lucy, who was still shaken by Tim's sudden silence for a few days. As Lucy arrived at work, she shared her concerns with Angela about Tim's absence and his mention of potentially threatening her career. Angela cautioned Lucy against involving Grey prematurely, advising her to stay focused on her life and take no action. However, Angela herself pursued Tim, jumping into his car as he kept an eye on Ray.
Tim confessed to Angela that he didn't want to endanger her job. He finally spilled the beans, revealing that Ray had something on him, knowing he had lied in his report about Ray. Tim hoped to catch Ray in the act of being a hired gun to bring him down. Angela assured Tim that she was on his side.
Bailey spoke to Nolan about her desire for a baby, confiding in Celina as well. As Nolan, Celina, and Thorsen monitored an unhoused encampment while prisoners cleaned up, an unhoused man stumbled upon a backpack belonging to a missing teenager whose body they had discovered. Suddenly, Celina noticed one of the prisoners had escaped.
Thorsen accompanied Harper in their search for more information about the missing girl. The unhoused man led them to where he had found the backpack, and they uncovered a tarp and Corrina Lewis' identification. Harper noticed that she had been shot, contrary to the confession of her boyfriend who claimed she had been strangled.
Nolan and Celina embarked on a hunt for the fugitive woman, Theresa, whose mother might have aided in her escape. Aware that she had mere ten days left on her sentence, they deduced she had absconded. The distraught mother revealed that Theresa was still enraged over her boyfriend's betrayal, likely seeking vengeance on the woman he cheated with.
They traced Doreen, the other woman involved. She recounted that Theresa had appeared half an hour earlier, apologizing for wrongly accusing her of Mike's infidelity. Meanwhile, Angela and Tim relentlessly trailed Ray, hoping to uncover his secrets. As they confronted him, Ray cunningly used a device to scan Tim's car and extract crucial information.
Harper approached the District Attorney, seeking clarity on a case he had prosecuted. Shocked to learn that the boyfriend's confession was a lie, Thorsen seethed with indignation, suspecting coercion. Dismissing his concerns, the DA admonished him for injecting his own biases. Harper knew he needed incontrovertible evidence to set the record straight.
Among those who worked with Corrina was a gun aficionado, who had kept her under surveillance and possibly possessed a similar caliber weapon. Tim finally opened up to Angela about his encounter with Ray overseas. As the squad leader, he had planned to apprehend Ray when he discovered his criminal activities. But Ray called for an airstrike, narrowly sparing Tim's life while Coyle and Henderson perished. Believing Ray perished in the rubble, Tim lied about Ray's activities, wanting his family to receive benefits.
Wes discussed the case with the DA. Ray descended upon Lucy and Tamara's abode, menacing and menacing. Lucy expelled him and promptly called Tim. She appeared at Angela's doorstep, demanding answers. Tim disclosed snippets, but Lucy chastised him for excluding her and trying to protect her. She refused to back down.
Celina realized that Theresa's mother was the one who had betrayed her with her boyfriend, and this was who Theresa was pursuing. Theresa was found at her ex-boyfriend's house, wielding a bat and yelling at him and his mother. Ray abducted someone, prompting a confrontation between Tim, Angela, Lucy, and him, culminating in his arrest.
Ray embarked on a DAI probe into Tim's actions, alleging that Greer had been an accomplice in Tim's plot against him. However, Greer cunningly concealed his movements, leaving no trace of his departure from his base, while Tim skillfully fabricated a web of lies surrounding the entire incident.
Harper, determined to gain a deeper understanding of the suspect, visited the gun range where he was said to frequent. She charmed him with her flirtatious demeanor, eventually convincing him to let her handle his .22 rifle. Smartly, she managed to obtain bullet casings from the weapon, hoping to match them with those found at the crime scene.
Through diligent efforts, they succeeded in clearing the boyfriend's name and ensuring that the true culprit faced justice. Nolan, meanwhile, realized his longing for a child and desired to give that experience to Bailey.
Tim escaped the consequences of Ray's investigation as Ray was viewed as retaliatory. However, he might still face repercussions from Metro. Lucy, waiting anxiously for him outside, embraced him warmly. He confessed to her that he had lied to save his job and protect them, but the weight of his deception made him feel uneasy.
Unable to shake off the guilt, he pushed Lucy away and announced that he could no longer return to their previous relationship. He broke off their engagement, knowing it was unfair but feeling unworthy of her.
As for Nolan, he confessed his desire for a child to Bailey, and the two hastened to their bedroom, eager to embark on this new chapter of their lives.
