Storyline

A mounted cop is shot by a sniper. Mac searches for the bullet and learns it's in the horse. He is told that to remove could prove fatal and he's being asked to delay the procedure because the family who donated the horse wants to come say good bye. Mac doesn't make any promises but he tries putting off which upsets Stella. Aiden is sent to investigate a possible murder in a pizzeria but the owner "tells" her to leave. So she goes back with back-up.

Goofs

When Max is interrogating Gerald Brown, he states the Brown had an intelligence level 'Interim Secret' clearance, "that is as smart as they come". "Secret" is a mid-range security clearance level that most military members have or can get. "Interim" indicates that the security clearance investigation isn't complete, but the preliminary findings are acceptable and grants the individual to a limited range of information up to the Secret level. The security clearance has nothing to do with an individual's intelligence.
