Okaro and Gold are stunned to discover Irene Radford was responsible for killing Thatcher's father in 1983. As a friend in MIT tells Thatcher that a new suspect has emerged, he confronts Karl Radford. When Karl reveals it has been Irene all along, Thatcher goes after David and beats him to within an inch of his life to get his phone. Luring Irene to a childhood haunt, a Mexican stand-off soon occurs when Thatcher takes a gun off Irene and David shows up to rescue her. As the net closes in, Thatcher gets desperate to get his own form of justice. Nixon's digging into the disappearance of her daughter Abigail takes a grim twist when a clue leads to a webcam of her captivity. Meanwhile, Valentine and Hunter investigate when a couple have their home vandalised, but while Valentine suspects a scorned lover, he soon discovers he needs to look closer to home.
