What happened last time?

In the preceding episode, viewers saw the return of fan-favorite FBI agent Stuart Scola after his long trip to Rome. As soon as he returned, he was assigned to a complex case, which involved the abduction of a deputy commander named John Sittenfeld.

Sittenfeld was having an affair with his assistant, who was married to a man named Derek White. The latter soon became the prime suspect in the case, but it was revealed that Derek had nothing to do with the abduction. It was a teamwork conducted by a dangerous group. Besides kidnapping John Sittenfeld, they also stole a missile system called javelin. Later on, Sittenfeld's tortured body was found.

The team finally found out that Adem Potal, an arms dealer, was behind this master plan. Tiffany took the help of Potal's wife to get information from him about the missile. When things got out of hand, Scola and Tiffany killed Potal and his bodyguard. At the end of the episode, the team discovered that the missile system was sold to a hitman named Pascual Santos.
