After one week in the hospital,
Lacey Quinn is finally going home,
a happy ending to a
harrowing experience.
Stop. No comment. No

I still can't believe
you confessed to Trent.
If I didn't, that would
make me just like Sir.
We're talking over 20
years in prison, Gabi.
I have to do my time for my own soul.
And what's gonna happen with M&A?
Margaret and Zeke are
out, probably Lacey too.
M&A still has you, Dhan.
- Where'd you get
- None of your business.
I need to check out this lead.
OK, let's go.
Look, DCPD assigned
all of us protection.
I don't need you to watch my back.
I'd believe that if the cops weren't
pulling back their presence at M&A.
I asked for that. Our
clients need their privacy.
Fine. See you at M&A later?
You can't avoid Lacey forever.
I know. Lacey has every right
to give me a verbal ass-kicking,
like Margaret and Zeke did about Sir.
But I just want to keep her
my Bella for a little while longer.
How long do you think you have
before Trent brings you in?
He gave me until we find Lacey,
so I am definitely on
a ticking clock now,
which means I need to find Sir
and I need to find him soon.
She did what?
- And she confessed to you?
- Yeah.
No, Gabi Mosely would never
confess to kidnapping a man.
What, is she dying?
Can you please just sign
off on this arrest warrant?
Lacey Quinn has been
found. I'm bringing Gabi in.
You've been sitting on
this for God knows how long,
and I'm just being
brought into the loop,
so there will be no "just" anything.
So now you want to slow down?
You begged me to arrest Gabi
every damn day for a year.
If Mosely broke the law,
she'll pay the price.
What do you mean, "if"?
Gabi Mosely made this confession
during a very traumatic time.
I mean, the guy that
kidnapped her when she was 15
just kidnapped Lacey
Quinn for the second time.
Hell, even the laziest law intern
could get this thrown out.
Look, without actual evidence
or a victim statement,
you've got no real case here.
- Sir
- And I'm not gonna let you
burn your career to the ground
because of an emotional reaction.
What are you saying?
Is this about her breaking the law
or breaking your heart?
This is solely about Gabi Mosely
breaking the law, sir.
Then you need to build a real case.
And you damn well better
be sure about this, Trent,
because once this train
leaves the station,
there will be no stopping it.
♪
I know you and Margaret plan on quitting
now that Lacey's safe, but
this is like a second chance
for all of us.
Now more than ever, Lacey needs
consistency from her M&A family,
- and we're supposed
- [KEYBOARD CLACKING]
Are you listening?
Sorry, man, the update
for this home surveillance
is a pain in the ass, but it's done.
Nobody's coming within 100 feet
of my pad without me knowing.
All right, so I unpacked
all of Lacey's groceries,
which included a 42-pack box of Gushers.
- [CHUCKLES]
- Come on, don't start, OK?
She's just staying with
me while Gina checks
on her father in Boston.
Whatever you say, man.
Oh, is that a camera outside of M&A?
Yeah, figured we need some
kind of surveillance there
since Gabi called off DCPD.
And I think it'll help
Lacey feel safer there.
Gina's not taking her
there right now, is she?
Because the docs said it might
be too soon to try and work.
I thought she just had a concussion.
Yeah, but a concussion is
a traumatic brain injury.
I mean, she could experience
amnesia, insomnia, agitation.
I mean, the doctor said to prepare
for a slightly different
Lacey potentially.
[SIGHING] Yeah.
- [LAUGHING]
- Different, my ass.
Honey, Dhan is not a tree.
- [WATCH BEEPS]
- All right, let's do this.
Who's our next client?
You need to take your medicine.
I saw that.
I'll get you some water.
I thought the docs said no work.
Where's Gabi? I miss her.
I know seeing me like that must
have been traumatic for her.
- [BUTTON CLICKS]
- Why is Lacey acting
like Gabi's not responsible
for what happened to her?
Lacey, honey, do you
remember the conversation
that Gabi had with us
before you were taken?
Yeah, uh,
she sat us down and she told us

[DRAMATIC MUSIC]
What did she tell us again?

Give me my damn file back.
I know. I'm sorry.
- I meant to
- Do you know?
Because if Mallory finds
out, I could lose my job.
I will give it back to

Look, I'm assuming
you're dealing with me
because you and Trent are going through
some kind of lover's spat.
But whatever's going
on, I don't want nothing
- to do with it.
- Understood.
And why are you bothering this old man?
You know why. Because Sir allegedly
rented a room from him years ago.
Yeah. And I had a visit with Mr. Choi
when that scumbag had Lacey.
And he was of no help because of his
Dementia, I know.
I've done my research.
But I still have to try.
Alone.
Where is Trent anyway?
I have nothing to say.
Oh, I think you could say
a lot about Sir and Gabi.

This wall of secrets is gonna collapse.
Only question is, are

Excuse me, sir. Uh, I need your help.
My parents went missing and
Uh, never mind. That's my bad.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait.
Look, you need to leave.
What? This sounds like
a missing person case.

clearly does not want you here.

What's your name?
It's Jay, Jay Mackenzie.
Jay, tell me what happened.
There's someone here
to see you, Mr. Choi.
She'd like to ask you some
questions if you're up for it.
His dementia's gotten
worse these last few months.
Hi, Mr. Choi.
My name is Gabi Mosely.
I'm here about a man named Hugh Evans.
He used to rent this room.
Do you remember him?
Does he look familiar?
It's OK, I got him.

Was it someone who resembled Hugh?
I should probably take him.
I think he's had enough
excitement for one day.

Last night, my, uh my mom and dad
Kate and Sam?
Yeah.
They went to a party at a friend's house
and they never came home.
[MYSTICAL WARBLING]
You were home alone all night?
No, uh, I was at my grandma's house.
I usually stay with her
when my parents go out.
My mom was supposed to call
at 8:00, but she never did.
Maybe they got home late and forgot.
No, my mom always calls at 8:00.
I went by the house
to see if their car was
in the driveway and it wasn't.
I know something's wrong.
- I told you to leave.
- Mrs. Mackenzie was looking
for her grandson. I
merely escorted her in.
You can't just leave me a
note like that and run out.
Grandma, I had to do something.
Honey, I told you,
your parents are fine.
I'm so sorry about Sam.
He should not be wasting your time.
Uh, Sam? I thought it was Jay.
He's named after my son.
But I go by Jay.
Mrs. Mackenzie, I don't
mind him wasting my time.
I'd like to hear him out.
His parents always do this.
They attend a party.
The next thing you know,
they're in the Maldives.
Almost 20 years married
and they still live like newlyweds.
My mom, she
we're best friends.
She always calls.
Do you want to take the
chance of being wrong?
If they're OK, we'll
find out immediately.
OK. Do what you have to do.
Jay, I promise we'll find your parents.
Shaker, I need you to
do something for me.
It's urgent. Grab a pen.

Kate posted this photo
on her socials yesterday
right before she and Sam disappeared.
"Life is always an
adventure with you, baby.
Thank you for everything." That's sweet.
There's more where that came from.
Saint-Tropez, Michelin star restaurants.
Look at the dates on Kate's posts.
There are days missing in an
otherwise consecutive feed.
- What do they do for work?
- Kate helps build
low-income housing for a nonprofit
and Tom is a personal injury attorney.
It's like looking at a
catalog of a perfect life.
- Nobody's perfect.
- That's a lot of wealth.
Maybe they were carjacked
on their way home.
Or they had an issue
from someone at the party.
Speaking of
Well, that doesn't look friendly.
- Who's the mystery man?
- The party was hosted
by Mr. and Mrs. Desai.
Maybe we can get them to ID him.
Zeke, I need you to tap into
the neighborhood street cams.
Already tried the

All right, Dhan, head over
to the Mackenzie house.
See what you can find.
Margaret and I will speak
with the Desais and see
if we can't get our hands
on a full guest list.
I should go to the house and
Dhan should stay with you.
I-I can't read the
Desais when you're there,
so it's pointless.
What about a press conference?
Not yet. We're not sure if we're dealing
with a ransom situation.
Um, is there anything I can do?
Call the hospitals,
see if they were brought
in from an accident.
And look into Sam's cases,

Bella's injury raised a red flag

No.
Not since we escaped.
Thank you for coming in.
We were actually on
our way to your house.
Dottie called. We have staff,
so we thought it's
better to come to you.
To avoid rumors. You understand.
We need to know what went down between
the Mackenzies and one of your guests.
Besides the soloist falling ill,
nothing dramatic occurred.
Don't play with us, or
I will fill in the blanks
and make sure to start a rumor
that will have you scurrying
to your vacation house in Spain.

is Colin Block. He-he's a lawyer.
He does a lot of free work

Let's be clear. There
are people missing.
And their son is falling
apart piece by piece,
imagining the worst.
So whatever you know, spit it out.
There are rumors
that Kate and Colin
are having an affair.
We heard Sam confronted
Colin at the party,
and I'm guessing that's the
moment this photo captured.
I need all of Colin's details.

Yep.
Just doing my job.

cleaned a strip of the floor.

You see these scratches?
Those are drag marks
about the width of a body.
Like they were dragged out of the house?
What about, um, security cameras?
Not activated.
We got a wealthy family
with non-working cameras.
Yeah, well, they're hiding something.
This family is not what they seem.
Hm.
They're not the only ones with secrets.
I know you're mad at
her. Talk to me, Margaret.
Have you, uh have you
searched the upstairs
I can't believe that after all of this,
you would still protect Gabi.
I'm not protecting her. [SCOFFS]

into a weapon either.
I'm on your side, Margaret.
There are no sides.
There's no trust.

Trent, that's fresh blood.
The Desais will cooperate
with whatever we need,
if for nothing else than
to protect themselves
- from public gossip.
- Check this out.
One of the valets at the party did time
for burglarizing the home
of a party he worked.
Old habits die hard, I guess.
He used a fake name for the Desai party.
Real name is Olly Smith.
Wait, wh-what are you all talking about?
The Mackenzie case, Lace, remember?
Are you OK?
Yeah.
You, uh you haven't rested much,
and we've got this.
Why don't you try to get a nap in?

Yeah. Yeah, I guess my head
does kind of hurt a little bit.
♪
I'll be by to check on her later.
No need. I've got her.
I owe Lacey a conversation, Zeke.
And I'm sure she has a lot to say to me.
Gabi, Lacey doesn't remember
your confession about Sir,
and I'd like to keep it that way.
What do you mean, she doesn't remember?
Leave it be, Gabi.
She's dealing with enough.
For what it's worth,
protecting Lacey's joy
may not be a bad thing right now.
We should just focus on Jay's parents.
As you always say, one minute can mean
the difference between saving a life.
Olly, when was he released from prison?
- Two weeks ago.
- Olly's MO is burglarizing
homes he works at. So
we're saying he, what,
kidnapped the Mackenzies instead?
Maybe he realized he needed
to switch things up to
avoid getting caught again.
So he picked a rich
couple from the party,
followed them home, and robbed them.
But something obviously went wrong.
Maybe Sam or Kate fought back.
Either way, we need to bring
this guy in immediately.
Olly?
Trent already picked
him up. He's at DCPD now.
We found blood and
drag marks at the house.
Which means either one
or both of them are hurt.
They could be running out of time.
Also, the neighbors had some
high-end security cameras.
Maybe they caught something. I'm on it.
OK, Margaret, fill them in on the rest.
I'm headed to the DCPD. I
need to talk to Olly myself.

I need to be in that
interrogation room with Trent.
Well, hello to you too.
And no. Trent's questioning the valet.
Girl, you are not a cop.
And any cop-like privileges
you may have had have
been revoked by Trent.
So no.

- Zeke, what do you have?
- I tracked down
one of Sam Sr.'s former clients.
I thought I gave that to Lacey.
She started looking into Sam Sr.,
but she forgot.
Zeke, just how bad is her concussion?
It's pretty bad. But I got her.
Anyway, I tracked down
this former client,
and she kept stressing
what a great lawyer Sam is.
Great legal mind, great strategist.

Anything about him as a person.
Exactly. Great lawyer, bad person.

I don't appreciate you keeping
one of my suspects from me.
M&A was hired by the family
Olly is not our guy.
Working under a fake name,
a history of burglarizing homes
Nobody would hire Olly
when he got out of prison.
The man has a family to
feed, so he used a fake name.
I let him off with a warning.
Look, this is not about ego.
I'm concerned about the Mackenzies too.
Then back off. I'm asking you
not to open up an
investigation until we can
Gabi, I won't.
Look, I am still waiting
for some lab results
on the blood to come back
before proceeding, but
I think we have a domestic
violence situation here.
Now, it's just a theory.
Kate hasn't reported abuse.
Most DV victims don't.
Until the evidence says otherwise,
we are still dealing
with a missing couple.
That's how we have to treat this.
I had the photo blown up.
Sam is staring daggers
into his wife, not Colin.
Kate looks terrified of her husband.
I think once Kate and Sam
got back from the party,
Sam did a number on her.
I'm headed back to the Mackenzie house.
Many domestic violence
victims keep a record
or proof of the violence,
usually via journals or photos.
More than three women are killed
by their partners every day.
If I'm right, we may
already be too late.
You know a lot about this.
I don't owe you any personal answers.
No, you don't.
Listen, I already confessed.
I'm willingly going to prison.

Couldn't nap.
Any updates?
Dhan got the lawyer to talk.
There was no affair.
He confirmed Kate was
being abused by Sam,
and not surprisingly, she was trying
to divorce him and get custody of Jay.
And let me guess, he warned her that Sam
wouldn't let her or
Jay go without a fight.
Exactly. We think things came to a head
last night and he took her somewhere.

Gabrielle, if you're reading this

Gabi, I finally got

the Mackenzies and this case?
Sir was following you, Trent.

This morning, when you were leaving M&A,
he was following you.
Sir was here?
That's what you were trying to tell me.
I know I haven't been

I saw. I'm I'm sorry.
No.
It's not your fault. It's mine.

We don't have time for your guilt, Gabi.

Think, Gabi. You both kidnapped
someone who tormented you.
If anyone can get in her head, it's you.
Where would Kate take him?
I needed a controlled environment,
a space only I knew well.
The blueprints from her socials.
I know where she has him.

I told Jay to run,
to go to his grandmother's house.
And that's when Sam said
he'd rather kill me and Jay

I've never seen Sam so resolved.
He meant it.
I snapped.
