Avery had needed to be debriefed on tonight’s all-new episode of “Blindspot” because there were still some questioned that needed to be answered. Like how did she meet her uncle? Avery had said that her father, as in the man that raised her, had killed himself while back after he had gotten fired from a big corporate job and with her adoptive mother also having predeceased her – she thought she should look for her biological parents. She explained that Roman had found her while she was looking for Jane and that he had told her that Jane wasn’t worth the effort. He told her that rather than looking for Jane that she should be getting revenge for the man responsible for her father’s suicide. That being his old boss Hank Crawford.
Not Crawford’s name has come up more than once at the FBI. The team had found out that he had had a connection to every one of their new tattoos and that Roman has been trying to direct them to Crawford for the longest time, but this latest information and the fact that it had come from Avery had made everyone doubtful about her story. She had been telling the truth about both her adoptive parents died and that her father did work for Crawford at HIC as an advisor so the problem they were having with her story was the part where she claimed she wanted revenge. Avery had plenty of reasons to lie to them.
Avery could have said that she hated Crawford as a way to insinuate herself into their investigation or she could have said it as some part of Roman’s much larger plan and so someone suggested a lie detector test. Weller was against the idea because he thought it would push Avery farther away from them and he couldn’t understand why Jane was for it. She was Avery’s mother and so he thought she wouldn’t want to jeopardize that relationship yet Jane said she couldn’t trust Avery. Avery had lied to them before and she might still be lying to them if they don’t test her. So Jane signed off on it knowing that it could potentially harm her relationship with her daughter.
Patterson though seemed to be the only one that understood Jane’s mindset. She had seen how much it hurt Jane when she grew to be closer to Roman only to have him turn against her and so she was with Jane as Avery was passed the test. She had repeated her story and the lie detector test indicated she had been telling the truth. Avery had joined Roman’s side because she had wanted to get revenge on Crawford and so it wasn’t surprising when Avery proved to be upset with Jane after the test. She told her biological mother that they were wasting time testing her when they could be out there getting Crawford and that meant Avery did know more about their cases than she let on.
Avery knew enough to guess that they were onto Crawford and that suggested she might have known more about Roman’s plan than she initially told them. But Roman wasn’t exactly hiding his plans. He had sent Patterson had encrypted video to help her unravel a new tattoo. The tattoo was of boat puzzle and its significance were the words on both the top and bottom of the bottom. The words “Donald” and Ley so Weller was able to decipher what it meant. He told the rest of the team that the words stood for Donald Shipley who had been his old partner and who was currently working in the private sector. And so Weller didn’t understand why Shipley’s name came up.
Shipley had been doing well for himself the last time Weller had heard from him and so Patterson was the that had to break the bad news. She told the team that Shipley’s company had been in the red a year ago when suddenly it was flooded with case now that indicate that he found a mystery partner or that he was using his company Elyria for illicit gains however the only way to truly get answers was to send someone in to question Shipley and so Weller volunteered. He told the others that he should approach Shipley by himself if they wanted Shipley to open up and so the others had given some distance to make contact.
What they hadn’t counted on, unfortunately, was that Shipley was also meeting someone else that day. He was meeting with an armed group and he told them that Weller was part of his plan to build an EMP. The EMP was meant for this group and, so after they left, he explained himself to Weller because it seems he had been working with Homeland Security. Homeland had been monitoring an extremist group that called themselves “The Regiment” and this group was all about dismantling the United States government that they deemed were oppressing them. So Homeland agreed to run point on this case with the FBI and that meant Weller was going to be working with Shipley again.
The two men had bad blood and everything, but they ultimately created a great team and together they fooled the militia into believing that they had created the perfect EMP. The EMP was supposed to be for a nearby power plant because that’s what their backup was watching and it turns out that the power plant hadn’t been the Regiment’s end goal. The group was going to attack an underground bunker that was being used to trace Americans’ financials both here and abroad and so the guys had been forced to move on their own. They had been miles away from civilization when they locked the treasury personnel into the vault and moved against the Regiment on their own.
They were outnumbered and outgunned yet they still managed to get the drop on the Regiment and its leader Nils Bresden. The two men brought the group down and Homeland received a big win. They had been after those guys for years, so it was a relief to finally catch them and it helped repair Weller’s relationship with Shipley. Shipley had left the FBI without a word because he hadn’t thought he was good enough there and had wanted to feel needed again so it was good for him to hear Weller call him a great agent. Weller had meant what he said and the two guys were slowly improving their relationship.
Jane, for her part, had talked to Avery and had brought her daughter in. She told her about how they were investigating Crawford and that they were getting close. So all Avery wanted was to be a part of it. She wanted to be there when Crawford went down, and Jane had not only told her yes, but she had also apologized to both Avery and later Weller because she knew now that she was pushing him away out of spite when they should have been talking to each other. They knew at work that they had to bring down Crawford and that knew that it was part of Roman’s grand plan – except they didn’t have to allow the things Roman put in their way to come between them or make them mistrust each other.
Crawford and Roman were the enemies, not anyone else!
THE END!
