Will Keaton meets with Deputy Director who voices her concern about Shepherd’s cooperation, including using a civilian.

Jason (Noah Mills) arrives greeting Jackie (Cassandra Freeman), who reveals that she is on the team now, as Keaton pushed the paperwork through and they are now teammates. Keaton calls everyone into the boardroom, where everyone reveals what they have been doing but no one has come up with anything.

Outside the office, Kate reveals Bragg that Blake’s father has reached out to her and since she is a friend she cannot avoid him forever. He suggests she contact him and tell him the truth about Shepherd helping them with the case.
Erica observes Anna Cruz (Coral Pena) at her desk, watching as Anna talks to Keaton.

Erica wants to know everything that has happened since she has been gone and since she is going to be there for a while, she can hear it all. Hannah reveals how she quit a sport she loved because some of the kids from the other teams found out about Erica and it was her dad that decided she needed to stop playing sports for a while. She agrees that her father has always been a good dad but it might be for the best that he doesn’t know she is there.

He is able to show ID and continues to deliver the luggage he has for the flight without question. Aksoy is able to place the equipment he stole in a storage shed and using his cellphone he is able to activate it. Kate reveals the airport has lost all air traffic control abilities, but there is no explosion or fire.

Keaton arrives at the airport where he is greeted by Jason and Jackie, an airport employee was shot to death as Keaton delegates what they need to do.

He is able to remove things with his own hand, completely impressed at what Kate can do. He admits they would have been lost without her; he thanks her.
Keaton sits with Erica, revealing they took Aksoy into custody and he has given them intel. Keaton wants to know if it is a problem that Hannah is seeing her with her father’s consent. She knows he won’t get over it, but Keaton suggests that she tell Christopher the truth but she fears if she tells him the truth, he would try to save her and that would mean Hannah would have to live with the fact that she is alive because they are dead and she doesn’t think she could do that again. She is willing to do everything for her daughter but Keaton says if Christopher asks him, he will tell him the truth.
Anna claims the network isn’t working, lying about who she is working for and wants to get into the computer room. He leaves but doesn’t make sure the server door is closed, causing Anna to break into it and work on breaching the system. She is continually denied and when she returns to her desk she finds a note.

Anna throws it in her face that she left her daughter, Hannah without a mother. She blames Erica for damaging the system and she only wants to help give him back his trust and sanity. Erica doesn’t trust Anna at all.
Kate finds a security alert on her system, excusing herself. Keaton says all their success today was thanks to Shepherd, but Kate calls him away saying there was an attempted breach on the computer system and whoever it was they were careful, only after confidential informant files. The focus was on a Tal. Keaton is furious and accuses Erica, saying she is the one who breached the system trying to get information on Tal; Erica says she asked him specifically so that Anna Cruz would hear her and she is the one who did it. She says Anna is a mile who is working for Tal!
