Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Officer Nolan’s relationship with his first confidential informant is tested when he discovers her back on the street dealing drugs. Meanwhile, Lucy’s fear of dating following her abduction and her intrusion into Jackson’s relationship is beginning to threaten their friendship.

Our Take

A solid hour that balances two storylines without shortchanging either. Nolan’s informant plot gives Nathan Fillion some real emotional weight to work with, and Lucy’s post-trauma struggles feel earned rather than rushed. Jackson finally gets to push back, which the show needed. Not a flashy episode, but the character work is strong and the ending lands. Worth your time if you’ve been following along.
