Don’t read if you haven’t seen the episode
Reese and Finch receives Abby Monroe’s number who works for a military charity. Her brother was killed in Afghanistan 18 months ago. A few days back Abby has moved out of her apartment and has dumped her Cellphone.
Back in the Precinct, Special agent Donnelly informs Carter that they will be searching for the man in the suit again and has asked Carter to join the FBI temporarily. He informs her that with her skills the assignment might become permanent. Carter immediately calls Finch to tell him of the situation. Finch informs Carter that Reese is in a Department of City planning. Later Carter discovers that Reese is posing as a Federal Marshal to get information Abby who used to work there. Abby copied files that have engineering drawings of buildings somewhere in Wall Street. Carter warns Reese that Donnelly is after him now but Reese already knew since he was listening in to their conversation.
Reese and Finch watched footage from a motorcycle robbery given by Carter as Reese has requested. They assumed that the Robber had prosthetic arm and is possibly former military. Carter informs them that the motorcycle is involved in a robbery of Plastic explosive in a construction site in New Jersey days before.
Carter had no choice but to put an APB on Abby’s name. Finch told Reese that Abby couldn’t have them involve in terrorism since her number to the authorities instead. Finch traced a pay phone that Abby used in the past and had Reese check it out.
Reese discovered that the phone was tapped and was connected to a nearby apartment. Reese investigates and found where Abby was staying. He also saw the medals awarded to her brother. Finch went digging further in the Charity where Abby used to work in. He talks to the manager, Philip Chapple, and was told that she was stealing petty cash and embezzling the charity’s fund. Chapple informs Finch that Abby changed when one of the veterans, Shayn Coleman visited the Charity. They later discovered that Shayn lost his arm while diffusing a bomb in Afghanistan .
Later Shayn crosses path with Finch while they were searching for information inside the Charity. Finch and Shayn worked together to find information and later left together while Chapple’s men were shooting at them. Reese also meets Abby. He told him that he was soldier before as well but unlike her brother Josh he was lucky that he survived. Reese and Shayn eventually talks on the phone and agrees to meet. They went their separate ways after.
Also in the episode, Fusco starts to be suspicious about Carter’s new friend Cal Beecher. When he asked a fellow detective he was told that Beecher is suspicious faring better financially than others but don’t have enough evidence to support that he is on the take. He eventually clones Beecher ’s phone and learned that he is meeting with someone. He sees Beecher talking to Quinn but does not have an Idea who Quinn is. Simmons then appears behind him and informs Fusco that he is watching him. Quinn was asking about crimes in Crown heights where a Russian named Peter Yogorov is involved. It seems like HR would negotiate a deal with the Russian to strengthen their ranks.
Finch was able to locate Abby and Shayn. They also discovered that Chapple is involved with a scheme with an investment bank where he takes a cut on the profits of foreclose properties of those who ask for a loaned in their charity. They also discovered that Chapple had a safety deposit box in the bank where he keeps his profits.
Reese goes to the bank but ended up helping Shayn and Abby. But they were cut-off by Chapple’s men and shooting began. The FBI is also hot in their trail. They found Reese’s location and the FBI team were outside the bank and was starting to sweep the bank. Reese was cornered and eventually captured. Good thing is Chapple’s men are all wearing suits which made it hard for the FBI identify Reese. Abby and Shayn was able to escape and meet Finch inside the Bank. He has provided fake IDs for both to avoid capture. Later Abby and Shayn gave Finch copies of Chapple’s entire money trail. Finch promised to bankrupt Chapple’s bank accounts and give to charity.
Now that Reese was captured he will definitely be on the FBI Radar. I wonder if Finch erased all his records and fabricated a new one. Definitely they will check for prints and Military records might still be on the system. Remember the machine has just tagged him as missing. Now HR is seeking the Russian’s help to re-establish their organization. If that is so it would be interesting to see what will happen next since the Russian would definitely have a grudge against Elias who threw them out of Brighton Beach . Off course you would to consider Ruth and I definitely sure we haven’t heard the last of her.
