In this episode, the strands begin to come together in identifying the mysterious connections between the fentanyl murder victims and issues related to Em's past. All of the victims had rashes and all were being treated or diagnosed by someone associated with Catalyst. Still, Em keeps studying the Barrett House files of the orphan kids.
The program opens with a police tribute to Tommy Gibbs. One of Boston's finest. A good man. A great detective. Blah, blah, blah. He was suspended by his boss who is now delivering the glowing accolades in a smarmy speech. The bombshell that is revealed to Em is that Tommy was suspended for investigating the shady Catalyst organization. Em discovers a clue with the word "Quill" written inside Tommy's garage.
Deputy Director of the FBI Webb is coming up from Washington, D.C. to be briefed on the death of Mills. Crown is prepping Em and Cal about the death of Wolfe that occurred outside of Zelena in Eastern Europe. When Webb arrives, he is much more cordial to Julianne than to Crown.
Nick and Alice have a heart-to-heart conversation. Nick opens up about his feelings of being a coward. Alice talks about the doctor's appointment where she learned that she could not produce babies. But she does not disclose her affair with Dr. Jack; she lies by telling her husband that she went to the hotel only to "decompress." Alice also believes that it is important for young Flynn to continue therapy with Dr. Oduwale .
Cal learns that the word Quill pertains to a research project at Saugus University. The project started in the 1970s, then ran out of funding in the '80s. Professor Ulf Maston was head of the project. When Em and Cal visit Saugus, Em has the feeling of déja vù. The professor still appears to be conducting lab work on aggression on a large scale.
Em feels that she is reliving the experience shark tank in building #60 at Saugus. Professor Maston describes how his experiments on stress were related to understanding PTSD. Human subjects were never used, but one of Maston's colleagues did cross the line: Dr. Lu-Feng Shen! As Em staggers through the halls with the realization of the connection of the Saugus project to her life, she comes across an old staff photo and recognizes a one of the clinicians. It is none other than her child's psychologist, Dr. Semo Oduwale!
The plot thickens.
