- Bill and Gary pursue an outside case, putting their Alpha powers to the ultimate test. Featuring guest star Alaina Huffman.
- We open with a college student and her female bodyguard walking down the street. Men jump out and throw the student into a car.
Bill (Malik Yoba) sits at home watching video of an altercation of some kind. It's clear he and his wife are debating his leaving Dr. Rosen's team and returning to the FBI.
Cut to Bill chasing a kid through the streets with the rest of the team helping him from a nearby car. Gary (Ryan Cartwright) loses him in a park. Hicks (Warren Christie) and Nina (Laura Mennell) end up grabbing the guy. They take his tablet computer and send him on his way. Rachel (Azita Ghanizada) leaves Gary in the car. A cop arrives to question him. The team return to the car and find Gary is gone.
Gary is located at a local precinct. Bill and Rachel argue over who is to blame.
At the station, Bill talks with a cop about the case dominating their days, the Lisa Collier (Melissa Hood) kidnapping. It seems she was taken by a drug cartel who has recently sent proof of life to her family. Gary tells Bill he's located Lisa's cellular signal. It's nearby.
Bill and Gary find Lisa's cell in a sewer. Bill tells Gary he thinks if he can crack the case, he has a chance to get back in the FBI. He wants Gary to be his "partner."
A cop stops by to ask Nina about someone named Timothy Darren. She used her mind control to get him to leave. Hicks witnesses the exchange. She tells Hicks the cop thinks she killed someone.
Bill brings the cell phone (a burner) to the FBI. He learns Lisa's father has factories in the cartel's territory. He didn't want to pay the "taxes" they were looking for. Some members of the FBI aren't thrilled to see Bill around. Lisa's father James says Bill and Gary are the only ones to make any progress. He wants them on the case. James' chief of security, Sarah (Alaina Huffman), agrees they could use all the help they can get.
We see the two men holding Lisa bickering about waiting for the next move. They don't appear to be cartel. Lisa is handcuffed to a bed with an IV in her arm.
With Gary's mother worried, Rosen (David Strathairn) and Nina go looking for Bill and Gary.
Bill and Gary get information from a restaurant owner with ties to crime.
Hicks drops by Nina's place. He says he's there to apologize. She gives him a tour.
Gary and Bill have learned the cartel didn't take Lisa. While they sit in a restaurant, Gary hears the FBI get a call from a burner phone requesting $10 million for Lisa. They will call back in one hour. Unlike the feds, Gary should be able to trace the call if he is near a good tower.
At the top of the precinct, Bill promises if Gary finds the phone he'll let him drive. He finds the signal. Bill says the next step for Gary is lessons.
Hicks and Nina flirt while he pushes her about what is going on with her legal situation. She says she dated Darren before being aware of her powers. When she tried to break it off, she said "why don't you do yourself a favor and kill yourself." He did. Hicks thinks she should tells the cops what happened. They end up kissing.
Bill and Gary go to a bar. Gary points out the guy with a phone. Bill chases him out the back door. The guy turns and begins shooting. Bill shoves Gary out of the way. He ends up bruised.
The feds arrive at the scene later and don't want to hear the cartel is involved. The result of spooking the kidnapper is they have raised the ransom. The agent who has been particularly opposed to Bill (Persky) has he and Gary arrested. On their way to the cruiser, James yells at Bill for endangering his little girl.
Rachel comes home. She awkwardly interrupts Nina and Hicks fooling around on the couch.
In the holding cell, Gary is pushing for them to make a phone call. Bill is realizing he made a mistake by going after the guy himself. Bill mutters about losing his job at the FBI and his wife not understanding.
Rosen yells at Bill in the parking lot outside the holding cell. Bill wants help from Rosen, but he doesn't want to hear it. Gary tells them when the pick-up will take place. Bill explains they are the only hope for Lisa. He thinks these guys simply want to stick it to James. They will never give back his daughter without their help.
The man Bill and Gary found at the bar is shot by his partner (Conrad Pla) for taking the risk of having a drink.
Bill explains to the rest of the team what he and Gary have been working on. He thanks them for helping.
The drop zone is supposed to be the Bronx Zoo. The location confuses Bill.
Lisa's remaining kidnapper prepares to kill her and dispose of her body. He lays out some plastic and tells her he'll make it easy for her as long as there is "quid pro quo." He wants her to send her a message from the other side.
Bill focuses on the route Perksy and Nelson will take to the pick-up spot. He has Rachel look at the apartment where Lisa had been held. She finds it's rigged with explosives. Hicks disarms the bomb. Inside, they find the body of the guy from the bar. Lisa and her kidnapper are gone, headed to the drop point. They assume the kidnappers must have somebody on the inside.
Cut to Persky and Nelson riding to the scene. Bill sends Persky a text. The kidnappers have someone on the inside. Nelson guesses something is up and tazes Persky . She then destroys the car's GPS.
With the GPS off, Gary is unable to track Nelson.
Lisa's kidnapper tells her "it's almost over."
Gary locks on Persky's cell phone. They mange to track Sarah to car. They place her under arrest. Nina gets her to tell them where Lisa is located. They are able to get her to walk in the room and tell the kidnapper a lie, enabling Bill and Hicks time to move in. Lisa is safe.
James and Lisa are reunited outside the building. He thanks Bill and Gary for the help. James asks Bill if he'd like help getting back into the FBI. He'd be happy to make a call on his behalf. "Thank you," Bill says. Bill and Persky talk about the incident which led to Bill's dismissal. He apologizes to Persky, then tells him he should take the collar. Bill doesn't want to join the FBI after all.
At home Bill tells his wife a lie about not being able to re-join the FBI. She says she doesn't care where he works, only that he's happy.
Nina tells Hicks she's spoken to the detective and things have been cleared up. They agree to have dinner "sometime."
Bill teaches Gary to drive.
