Tonight’s episode begins with several people being taken to the hospital for injuries they sustained from a terrorist attack. The people that were attacked were all members of a Marine Special Operations Team and they had been at the beach when it took place, but no one else at the beach had been affected by the weapon. It was clear it was just an attack against the servicemen and women. It was also clear that an ultrasonic weapon was used because most of those that were injured were found bleeding from their ears. They had needed a thorough check at the hospital and the assault on the ears was the only conclusion that the doctors could come to. Special Agent in Charge Tennant was given this case before she had to leave it to her team.
Tennant was brought into a hearing with the FBI regarding Maggie Shaw. Shaw had been Tennant’s best friends and they both worked at the CIA together. Yet, Maggie failed to realize that Maggie started feeding information to the Chinese. She failed to realize that her best friend had become a traitor and so people now want answers for that. They want to see how much Tennant and when she knew it. They also want to know if she had purposely given Maggie any information on a case. Tennant knew that she was going to have to answer questions and at the same time she didn’t realize it would involve their vacations.
Tennant was asked about her trip to Mexico with Maggie. Tennant thought it was a typical vacation. She found out from FBI Special Agent Glen Smith who was running her interview that a Chinese spy had a meeting in Mexico around the same time and that it could be connected to the attack on the DDOS. An attack that could have compromised the security of the country. Tennant hadn’t known about it because the government did their best to cover up how close the Chinese came to infiltrating their system and so she just found out about it in her interview. An interview was going to take place over the course of several days.
The first day revealed the devastating information about the Mexico trip. Tennant returned home after that interview just plain tired and she looked through the photos of that trip to see now what she missed back then, but it was no good. All of her memories of that time were good ones. On the second day, Tennant was asked if Maggie maintained her relationship with her in order to get intel. Tennant said she couldn’t tell. She truly doesn’t know who her best friend is anymore and so she has no idea if Maggie only stayed with her friend to get information. She also had no idea how to break it to her kids that Maggie was in prison.
The whole family loved Maggie. They even referred to her as Aunt Maggie and now this. Tennant was still answering questions as the rest of her team was getting details on their case. The team had realized that it wasn’t the whole ops team that was under attack. It was just one person. One person on the team had been targeted by the ultrasonic weapon and the others just got in the way. But not to be deterred, the killer found his intended target until he could run him off the road with the weapon and so Marine Brian Shepherd is dead. He was killed by his current girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend.
The ex just didn’t know how to let go. He thought that the woman would come back to him and that they could resume their engagement, but he wasn’t the one for her and he soon realized that after he began stalking her and so her dating someone else. The ex’s name was Joel Johnson. He began acting erratically after he realized his former fiancé wasn’t coming back to him. He got fired from his job. He basically became a hero of the incels with his obsessive behavior towards his ex. Joel had even boobytrapped his house for when they arrived to arrest him. It was just him and Ernie inside of that house at one point and Ernie handled things by punching Joel before he could kill them all in a murder-suicide ploy.
The team was able to arrest Joel. He’ll be serving time for murder on top of assault and Tennant was able to walk away from the interview unscathed. She had been honest. Something the FBI took note of and they came out of it respecting her more than anything else.
