In court, it is back to Red’s case.

Liz calls Jennifer and gives her an update. Jennifer tells her their case is at a dead end. Liz thinks she might be able to get the task force to help. Red doesn’t have a case, but the task force doesn’t know that, so they can squeeze theirs in.
The task force meets to hear about the case. Gerald Todd Cleper was a doctor who killed 17 patients and has vanished for twenty-eight years and had plastic surgery from criminals favorite plastic surgeon elite, Dr. Hans.
Mr. Timberly goes to visit the guy who said he could help him.
Liz and Kessler go to visit a Private Investigator hired by the victim’s families, they want to know what he knows. The man claims that Clepper killed the people because they were seeking aggressive treatment and Clepper felt the resource could be used better on healthy people.

Kimberly tries to bribe him, the man suggests that he is going to have to kill the witness, it is the only option. The witness’ name is Ms. Carter, Timberly says he is not a murderer, the man says that is why he needs him. In return, he wants him to build his plant in Detroit and not Malaysia. Move the plant and his life will have more value that the person who is set to testify against him.
Back at the Task Force, Aram discovers that Clepper had a kidney transplant, he narrows it down to Cameron Morella, this is the man who is blackmailing Timberl and Aram thinks he is Clepper.

Red is with the doctor to see if he is competent to stand trial, she says from what she read she thinks he is quite capable. She asks if he has killed people, he says if he has killed anyone, he believes it was just.
Ressler and Liz are on the site of Ms. Carter’s body, she was found dead and believed to have slipped and fall. Liz says this is no slip and fall, she knows Morella is involved.
Red is in a psych ward beside a man, he says hello “Atikus.” He goes on to say he needs a favor, he has to find their mutual acquaintance, he is in trouble, it is a matter of life and death. A nurse walks up and tells Red to not bother speaking to the man he on a high dose of meds and completely out of it.
Morella is gone and Liz finds out that the girl found dead was a witness.
Atikus finally comes to and recognizes Red.
The therapist tells Red that he is masquerading and she doesn’t understand why. But, she doesn’t think he is a bad guy, she just thinks he is an imposter.
Liz questions Timerbly and tells him that she ties him to Clipper, she is going to drag him down with him. Kimberly tells the truth, he says the man said he would make the witness go away. He gives Liz the man’s address and phone number. Ressler is wondering why Red gave them this case. Liz calls Jennifer, gives her the number and asks her to have Buck trace the phone number.
Red is still working at Atikus, he tells him that they have him on a strong cocktail of narcotics. Atikus freaks out and tries to attack the therapist for prescribing the meds, they take him into custody.
