Premise[]

The aftermath of Vargas's house explosion results in the death of Officer Cisneros, and leads to the deaths of Ian Weber and Bridger Fontana, and the revelations Vargas's father Diego and Bridger's mother Juliet Greico are both still alive, but each with their own motivations. Three months later, the JACTF grieves over Cisneros' death, and other changes such as his colleague, Sgt.

Most of the team then get involved in the conversation as Scott and Etheridge argue over the safety of women and children until Shane orders them to stop. Later, Vargas and Etheridge come across an abandoned van found near the highway. They open the doors and discover a big crate with blood leaking from the bottom. They open the box, which reveals the naked body of a unconscious teenage girl. Etheridge recognizes the girl as Gabrielle McConnell (Sadie Sink), a circus' acrobat. As Vargas and Etheridge helps Gabrielle out, they are shocked to see two more girls, both dead, inside of the box. Etheridge tells Vargas that the girls are Gabrielle's friends and also circus' acrobats. As the police and paramedics arrive, Vargas asks Etheridge who explains how did she knew Gabrielle and her two dead friends, Riley Harrison and Maisie Jones; she meet them four years ago during another case involving the circus in which some members were involved in a theft ring. Etheridge describes themselves as three sweet, kind girls and vows to find the person who hurt them. As Etheridge heads to the hospital, M.E. Costas reveals the victims were beaten and raped before they were killed. While contemplating the motive, Vargas, Ramsay, Chapel and Costas got spooked when they hear crying coming from another box in the van. Upon opening it, they discover a baby boy no older than a few days. Meanwhile, Etheridge arrives at the hospital as Lee and Scott tries to comfort Gabrielle's distraught mother Marie and her two worrying siblings. Etheridge calms Marie down and questions her about the girls. Afterwards, Vargas arrives and tells Etheridge about the baby boy they found. Etheridge is shocked as they watched the doctors examine the baby.

Later, Crown, Lowry and Shane question Vargas and Etheridge over their discovery of the girls. As Vargas and Etheridge explain their story, a doctor reveals the baby's condition is weak but stable. Then, Ramsay and Chapel reveal that they've tracked down Riley's parents but cannot find Maisie's. Crown decides to send Etheridge and Ramsay to question Riley's parents while Vargas and Chapel to question Gabrielle when she wakes. When she does later, Vargas, Chapel and Marie try to comfort her as she breaks down up learning her friends' fates. They then try to question her, but are interrupted by the arrival of Gabrielle's father and circus' showman Felix (Domhnall Gleeson), who tells them that his daughter is not fit to answer any questions. As Vargas and Chapel start to leave, the latter asks Gabrielle how to find Maisie's parents, but Gabrielle tells her that Maisie's biological parents died 15 years ago and that she was adopted by a rich family. Costas, having finished the autopsies on Riley and Maisie, reveals that the baby is Maisie's. Vargas informs Shane and Lowry and asks them to track down Maisie's adopted parents. Etheridge and Ramsay arrive at a apartment where they tells Riley's parents about their daughter's death. Riley's parents break down over the news, but the father lashes out in anger and blames Maisie for Riley's death, describing Maisie as an evil girl who got Riley and Gabrielle involved in criminal stuff. Vargas, Chapel, Etheridge and Ramsay all meet up outside of the hospital where they share their opinions and discoveries with each other, but Vargas believes something is not right.

The next day, Vargas and Ramsay arrive at the circus to question the performers and Felix, but are confused to see Gabrielle in her father's office. When Vargas and Ramsay ask Felix about Maisie, her reveals that she has had a troubled life after losing her parents to car accident and a history of trouble with the law. Felix admits he made Gabrielle and Riley become friends with Maisie because he felt sorry for her. But when Vargas asks about Maisie's pregnancy, he claims that he didn't know anything about it. He then takes Vargas and Ramsay to the locker room, but when he opens Maisie's locker for them, they discover everything has been cleared out. Vargas, Ramsay and Felix rush outside to find Gabrielle attempting to get rid of Maisie's stuff, and Vargas stops her. She questions Gabrielle for trying to dispose Maisie's stuff. Gabrielle defends Maisie and explains that she was trying to protect Maisie's legacy but then accidentally mentions something about a 'special' group.

Gabrielle takes Vargas and Ramsay to the group outside of the circus, revealing that they are an a eco-radical group. As she explains that Maisie was protesting the conditions of the circus animals, the group's leader, Marcus Nightingale and members deny any involvement. When Vargas asks about Maisie' pregnancy, the leader refused to answer and warns her about Felix, explaining that he saw Felix threatens Maisie two days before the murders. As Vargas attempts to get some answers, Felix orders her and Ramsay to leave. Meanwhile, Shane and Lowry track down Maisie's adopted parents. They notify them about Maisie's death and the baby. However, Shane and Lowry are shocked over the parents' reaction when the mother tells them that she is happy that Maisie is dead, revealing her to have been an impossible child since she had adopted. As Shane asks the parents about Maisie's baby, the parents tell her that they want nothing to do with the baby and attempts to pay Shane to have custody of her. Shane rejects the offer in disgues and furiously walks away. Later, Vargas, Shane, Ramsay and Lowry meet up in a cafe and reveal their discoveries; Shane reveals her anger over Maisie's adopted parents. Vargas tries to comfort Shane, but two detectives then arrive to question her. Vargas arrives at the police station where the detectives question her about her father, Diego. She denies of seeing her father, giving the explanation that Diego died in car accident years ago. However, one of the detectives tells her that Diego was spotted outside of town a week prior, but Vargas still strongly denies any involvement. After being questioned, Vargas arrived at her mother's house and confronts her, accusing her of calling the detectives over Diego. Henderson defends her decisions, explaining that she wants Diego to come home, that she still love him and wants to help him out. However, Vargas believes that her mother wants to punish her father for leaving them.

Meanwhile, Scott apologizes to Etheridge about their argument, opening up about his fears if anything bad happened to his wife and children. Then, Hobbs arrives and reveals CCTV footage which sees Nightingale following Gabrielle before the attack. As the team was plans to set off, Felix arrives at the station and reveals important information about Marcus. Felix informs them that Marcus stalked Gabrielle for months and grooming Maisie into having a relationship. Also, he tells the team that Gabrielle refused to reveal her attacker's identity and he believes that she is protecting Marcus. Later, the JACTF arrive at the church where they arrest Marcus for rape and murder while the police search Marcus' house. Marcus proclaims his innocence, but Vargas and Ramsay tell him there is strong evidence against him, revealing photos of the girls and also he was seen stalking Gabrielle hours before the attacks. Marcus admits to stalking Gabrielle, but strongly denied of raping her or murdering her friends. Nonetheless, the JACTF decides to charge him. Later, some members of the JACTF heads out to a special tour of the circus along with their families, but Vargas stays behind to sort out the case. While further examining the evidence, she finds more photos of Felix with a black-hair wig Gabrielle near a hotel. When Vargas questions Marcus in his cell, he reveals confesses that Felix was the true predator, having been sexually abusing Gabrielle since she was a child. Gabrielle got trouble in the law a lot as a result of lashing out from the abuse, but Maisie took the blame for her to protect her. Maisie also knew about Gabrielle's abuse and seduced her dad into having a relationship for a year to protect Gabrielle. However, 2 days before the murders, Felix discovered out that Maisie was 7 and a half months pregnant with his child and threatened to kill her and the child. Maisie, Riley and Gabrielle decided to run away from home, but their plan backfired when Felix found out and went after them. Marcus breaks down and blame himself for failing to protect the girls but Vargas promise Marcus that Felix pay for his actions. As she leaves the station, Vargas calls a mysterious person for help.

Later, Vargas arrives at the circus, sneaking into back of the tent to find Felix. Then, Vargas goes to Gabrielle's dressing room to asks her about her father, but comes across Felix zipping up his pants and Gabrielle sobbing. As Gabrielle begs Vargas to leave, she attempts to call her colleagues but got knocked out by a bodyguard. Later, Felix and his men bring Vargas who is dressed as a clown out for a special stunt with Gabrielle, and Felix threatens Gabrielle that he will kill Vargas if she messes up the act. As they gets ready, Gabrielle comforts Vargas and tells her about her father's abuse on her and reveals the reason why Maisie took the blame because she was worried that Felix would do something worse to her if he found that she was acting out. As the audience watches Felix drags a cage with Vargas and Gabrielle inside from top height, a young boy calls Shane's attention and tells her that somebody wants to talk her backstage. Shane goes backstage where she shockingly finds Diego, who tells her that Vargas is in trouble, telling the whole story. Shane reports back to her colleagues, telling them that they have got wrong man, and that Felix is the true rapist and murderer, which horrifies them. Felix sets fire on the cage and releases a tiger. As the JACTF attempts to rescue Vargas and Gabrielle, the former comfort the scared latter and they work together to escape the cage. Felix draws his gun and attempts to shoot Vargas who is about to be attacked by the tiger, Gabrielle grabs the microphone and exposes to the audience that her dad is really trying to kill the detective and it is no longer and act before confessing about her father's sexual abuse, and him murdering Riley and Maisie and getting the latter pregnant. Outraged Felix shoots Gabrielle in the legs, and turns to shoot Vargas, but Ramsay punches him out before arresting him, while Chapel and Lowry distract the tiger away from Vargas. Later, at the hospital, with Shane and her mother by her side, Gabrielle tells Riley and Maisie's parents about her abuse and the truth about Maisie. At first they are furious at Gabrielle, but come to understand the reasons and realize it wasn't Gabrielle's fault. Then, Maisie's adopted parents announced they will adopt Maisie's baby boy. At the police station, Felix smugly refuses to answer Vargas and Etheridge's questions but the former snaps angrily at Felix for his actions. Felix arrogantly mocks Vargas, which results in a furious Etheridge punching him in the nose. As he is taken to his cell, Felix claims to Crown and Henderson that Etheridge assaulted him, but they brush him off. Vargas later meets with Marcus, and apologizes; he forgives her and thanks her for clearing his name.

At the end, Vargas and Henderson meet at a diner. Henderson asks her daughter why she called her father. Vargas tells her mother that she was worried her plan might backfire so she decided to get her 'guardian angel' as a backup plan. Henderson warns of the consequences if the truth come out, but Vargas promises that she will make sure Diego stays away unless she needs him. Mother and daughter reconcile as Diego watches from shadows.

#4 - "North of Honor"

When a shooting at a restaurant occurred where three people were killed and seven wounded, the JACTF responds and the shooter is identified as former Marine Simon Riggs, who returned from Iraq three weeks before. Riggs soon does another shooting at an insurance company, where three more are killed and four more injured, leaving Chapel to call NCIS Special Agent Danny Burnett to help track the rogue Marine down. During the case, Shane and Crown introduces CBI Agent Faith Scalieri, who will be assisting Oversight. As Chapel and Burnett speak to Riggs' wife Beverly, she revealed that her husband has severe PTSD and revealed that he has been part of a clinical trial of a new anti-depressant that is supposed to be helping veterans deal with it. Following Scalieri's advice, Vargas, Etheridge, Scott, Hobbs and Warren investigate the drug and, following Shane getting a subpoena, discovered that some of the veterans who took the drug have had psychotic breaks, likely due to the drug's side effects. Vargas, Ramsay, Chapel and Burnett visit Hartman, who previously investigated a similar case involving a Delta Force soldier who took the drug and committed spousal abuse on his wife. Hartman tells them that the soldier admitted that the drug made him worse instead of better over time and they investigate the pharmaceutical company, but the CEO's representative denies any wrongdoing. Then, Riggs appears shooting up the main building of the company.

As JACTF, MCS and NCIS, as well as Scalieri, arrived, they entered the building, seeing several injured people. They then find Riggs in the CEO's office, holding him at gunpoint. Chapel and Burnett enter, as Riggs reveals that the drug made his PTSD even worse due to it's side effects and, to the point that he almost killed a man in a bar fight and even contemplated suicide several times. He eventually discovered what the drug did to the other veterans, but the company covered it up, and when he attempted to go public, they sent hitmen to silence him, but he turned the tables and killed them instead. The people he killed in the restaurant and the insurance company building were many of the company's greedy board members who were involved in the development of the drug and the clinical trial. Chapel and Burnett assure him that they will investigate the drug themselves and Riggs hands them the evidence he has gathered to them before surrendering peacefully as Chapel, Burnett, Lee and Scalieri arrest the CEO for reckless endangerment.

Shane prosecutes the CEO of the company. Despite the defense lawyers' underhanded tactics, the CEO is found guilty and the company was held accountable. Vargas told Shane and the others that the drug is off the market and the company will settle to the veterans and their families. Riggs has been sentenced to a psychiatric facility for treatment for his PSTD. Vargas receives a visit from Cisneros' family as they gathered his final belongings. While some of them understand what happened to Cisneros wasn't her fault, Cisneros' younger sister Carmen angrily blames her for her brother's death, but Vargas defended herself and Lee stood up for her to Carmen. The family then left, but Carmen glares at Vargas.

During the case, Lowry seems distracted during the case. Eventually, he reveals to Shane that Percy left him because of the risks of him working for JACTF and what he went through after being almost killed. As he explains the situation, Lowry tells Shane that Percy wants a break from their marriage, but convinced that his husband will not take him back. Scalieri and Lee speak to Lowry about his marital problems. Vargas tells Delgado about her father being alive and that he was her guardian angel. Delgado, realizing that it was Diego who saved her, Shane and the others from Bridger and the Lannings, thanks Vargas for telling him the truth and that he won't tell anyone else about it.

Also, Crown, still reeling from recent events, is contemplating retirement as he speaks to his wife Debbie about how all the recent events have taken a toll on him. Then, he calls Norman Devlin and informs him about everything and gives him some advice about the meaning of life.

#5 - "Birthday Shock"

At Chelsea's 18th birthday party, she suddenly finds her grand-uncle Jack Etheridge murdered and her mom near it holding a gun with a napkin. As the JACTF arrives, Etheridge says that she found her uncle shortly before Chelsea came in and saw the scene, and picked up the gun she found on the floor near his body. Costas says that the bullet that killed Etheridge's uncle matched the one she had in her hand. Soon, Etheridge is placed under arrest due to the circumstantial evidence against her. Scalieri instructs everyone to work on the case and not to let their personal feelings over Etheridge interfere with their jobs. Vargas and Shane decide to investigate Etheridge's past as they hope to clear her. They soon remember that Etheridge confided in them she was sexually assaulted by a relative. After going over the case files of the crime, Vargas and Shane end up relieving their memories of Gordon raping them. Shane admits that to Vargas that she wanted to end her own life so many times because of the trauma of the abuse, but she couldn't leave Jonathan alone, further stating that the abuse inspired her to become a prosecutor to get sex offenders off the street. She also stated her mother Edith still accepted Jonathan even after discovering what Gordon did to her and her father Glenn initially had some trouble after learning of Gordon's betrayal and Jonathan being the product of rape, but eventually came to accept Jonathan as his grandson. Vargas admits that she wanted to kill Gordon many times, but couldn't do so because of her mother and Angela and that she moved away from her family to start fresh and became a cop, until he found her and forced him to resume his abuse of her under the threat of making Angela his new victim. They discovered a clue that the man accused of sexually abusing her was her cousin Kyle and his parents covered it up. They then realize that Jack must've was murdered in part because her knew about the abuse.

Meanwhile, Chelsea, who doesn't believe that her mother killed her grand-uncle, is shocked that her father, Etheridge's ex-husband Patrick Morris, has arrived. When she asks what he's doing here, he says that he came to surprise his daughter on her birthday, but is surprised to learn that her mother has been arrested on suspicion of murder. Later, Emily and Jonathan arrive to check on Chelsea where they meets Patrick for first time but Jonathan gets suspicious when he catches Emily lie to Patrick about her identity. After Patrick leave, Jonathan confront Emily who admits that she knew Patrick when she was teenager as Ben and confessed that she got involved in gambling business with Patrick, but months later, she set him up to be arrested after Patrick gets too serious.

Vargas and Shane speak to Chapel and Scalieri about their findings. Chapel says that even if their right, they need more proof than that to officially clear Etheridge, which Scalieri concurs. Vargas and Scalieri then question Etheridge, who reveals that Jack told her at Chelsea's birthday party that he was going to turn in Kyle for a new, recent incident of rape he discovered and his brother & sister-in-law for covering up what Kyle did to Etheridge. Realizing that Etheridge was indeed set up, they release her. Shane then informs Etheridge that her ex-husband is back in town, which unsettles her. With a plan from Vargas and Chapel, Etheridge comes to the residence of Kyle and his parents, Floyd and Alexandria, who are all shocked to see her. She confronts them that Jack was going to turn them all in for what Kyle did to her and another girl that he raped, and his parents covered up again by buying the victim's silence. Kyle says that they don't have evidence against them. Eventually, Kyle, Floyd and Alexandria made full admittance that Jack was going to turn them in, which they feared would put them all in jail, so Kyle killed him and left the gun at the scene due to it being unregistered, which the JACTF gets in recording. The task force then breaches the manor, Vargas quickly apprehends and arrests Alexandria, while Lowry and Hobbs catch Floyd. As Kyle tries to escape, Etheridge cuts him off, lambasting her cousin for sexually assaulting her and suspects he has done the same to other girls. Kyle tries to fight, but Etheridge takes him down in hand-to-hand combat just before Chapel and Ramsay arrive and take him into custody.

After the case, Crown informs Shane and Scalieri that he has decided to retire and someone will replace him soon.

#6 - "The Ballerina"

The JACTF are called to a ballet studio where they find the body of Eugene Bracco, a bodyguard connected to New York-based Gambrione Crime Family is found brutally stabbed to death. Upon searching the body, Vargas gets suspicious when she pulls out a photo of a young man and a young girl from the victim's hand. Immediately figuring that the Gambriones will send someone to track their man down, Crown orders that the couple in the picture be found and put into protective custody immediately. After questioning the other dancers, Ramsay and Chapal learn that the girl in the picture is fellow ballerina Julia Braddick, and the man is her boyfriend, entrepreneur Dante Silver and that Bracco was Silver's bodyguard. Wondering what Silver's connection to the Gambriones is, Vargas and Etheridge find themselves approached by the head of the crime family himself Sal Gambrione, who reveals to them that Dante is his youngest son, who took his mother's maiden name and moved to the West Coast to distance himself from his family; Sal implores the two to find his son no matter what, revealing that Dante was the favorite child of his late wife.

Later, Vargas and Etheridge arrive at Dante and Julia's house but find the place has been ransacked. A search for clues turns up several threatening messages on Julia's email. Now suspecting foul play, the two are forced to up the ante and dig into Dante's business dealings. They and the rest of the task force then interview all of Dante's clients and associates, but can't seem to find any one with a motive to do him or Julia harm. Shortly afterwards, the case takes heartbreaking turn when Julia is found dead in a hotel room, having supposedly hung herself. However, upon completing autopsy, Costas reveals that she was actually murdered and the suicide was staged, sending the task force on the frantic search for Dante while uncertain to label him as a victim or a suspect.

During this time, Crown reveals to the task force that he has decided to retire and that this will be his last case with them; the team is shocked but wishes him the best. Also, in her spare time, Etheridge talks to her family in the aftermath of her uncle Jack's murder and her cousins' arrests, with them agreeing to take things one day at a time.

After a thorough re-combing of suspects, Lowry and Lee discover that one of Daniel's clients, club owner Justin Patrice had lied about his alibi; further investigation uncovers that in the days following Dante's disappearance, Justin cashed a $100,000 check supposedly made out to him from Dante, and that Justin is dating one of Julia's rivals, Bethany Meeks, who has just been promoted to her place in an upcoming ballet production. When questioned, Bethany reveals that Dante had been bankrolling Justin's nightclub "Neon Solid", but had decided to pull out due to the club hemorrhaging too much money in several months, and Justin had begged Dante for more money and more time. She also reveals that she was upset about losing out on another role to Julia and vented her frustrations to Justin, who told her on the day of Eugene's murder and Dante and Julia's disappearances that all of their troubles would be over that day. From there, they conclude that Justin after a last attempt to reason with Dante over money, murdered Eugene, abducted Dante and Julia at gunpoint, forced the former to write endorse a last check, killed Julia and staged her suicide and has possibly killed Dante as well. Tracking him to another one of his properties on a tip from Bethany, the task force arrests Justin, but he refuses to tell them where Dante is. However, the search of the property brings them to a pit of freshly poured cement; the task force digs through it and discovers Dante's body, him having been shot execution-style. When interrogated, Justin smugly tries to claim self-defense, believing that other than his girlfriend's word, they'll never nail him for any of it. However, Vargas and Shane reveal Dante and Eugene's connections to the Gambrione Crime Family, which means he's on the hook for murdering both a made man and the child of a made man. Justin refuses to believe them, until Vargas and Scalieri take him to meet Sal Gambrione and his enforcers who then brag about how they're going to make him suffer for what he's done. Scared out of his wits, Justin confesses and agrees to plead guilty and take the max sentence for all three murders, knowing that the Gambriones will kill him and worse if they ever get to him. Sal sends his thanks to the JACTF before returning to New York.

At the end, the JACTF celebrates Crown's retirement, with him announcing that his old friend Norman Devlin will be taking over from him, with the entire task force wishing him well.

  • Final appearance of Richard Schiff (Neil Crown).

He and Riley also discover evidence that reveals that the sweatshop owner is also involved in a baby-selling ring, stealing the newborns of the workers and illegally brokering them under the guise of a false charity. Vargas and Chapel interrogate the manager of the sweatshop, but he refused to rat out his employers. While going over evidence, the JACTF starts to suspect a well-known entrepreneur and business owner name Roger Godfrey of the crimes. Devlin and Scalieri says that Godfrey is a billionaire and that he will use any legal means to avoid justice. They send Ramsay, Lee and Hobbs undercover at his office building and have Vargas, Etheridge and Scott do a follow up question to defer suspicion of the undercover operation. Vargas, Etheridge and Scott question Godfrey, who feigns shock about the sweatshop fire and the baby selling ring, as expected. Then Shane and Devlin receive a visit from Las Vegas D.D.A.

Meanwhile, FBI Special Agent Wesley Wayne arrives on scene and informs Etheridge and others that they are tracking a serial vigilante with habit of killing criminals who get off on technicalities or lack of evidence all over the US. Wayne says that the killer is very clever because there are no repeatable patterns or identifiable methods, the killer always uses different weapons, and the murders occur in different cities and different locations at different times. As they investigate the scene and the other crime scenes, they find a suspect, whom Lowry and Lee manage to detain. The killer refuses cooperate, but Riley and Fox discover some heavily encrypted files on his computer that suggests that he wasn't acting alone. Wayne has his tech guys help decrypt the files.

Delgado tells her it's for the best since she is recovering from her near-fatal shooting. Vargas later tells Shane about her visions while in the coma; Shane believes she had a near-death experience because she has dealt with a few past victims who've had that experience. As Delgado gets a call, Vargas tells Shane that she had a vision from someone she doesn't know who encouraged her to move forward. Delgado comes over and tells Vargas, with Shane present, that Aldridge who called, to tell her says that Bridger's adoptive father Ralph just killed himself in prison and that she has found something more about Diego's personal life.

With that intel, Etheridge sends Hobbs, Scott and Warren to stake out on him. Once the man leaves his home and they get a warrant, Scott, Hobbs and Warren find a heavily encrypted computer, but Warren manages to decrypt it. They discover the list of vigilantes in the network, consisting of cops, judges, prosecutors and relatives of victims and sends it to the JACTF before leaving the house. Then the joint JACTF/FBI/ATF and local police nationwide raid multiple locations and arrest the members of the vigilante network.
