Malcolm is torn between guarding careless Ainsley and the complicated murder of a plastic surgeon. Ainsley refuses to hide while he has her clothing tested by Edrisa. Jessica's younger sister, Birdie, makes an unannounced visit: needing money, she secretly wrote a tell-all book. Unable to stop the book from being published, Jessica decides to write and publish her own memoirs. Martin is assigned to work as a janitor in Claremont's infirmary, run by Dr. Vivian Capshaw, and attempts bonding with her when he corrects her faulty diagnosis of a patient and instructs vital improvised surgery. Malcolm saves a second surgeon on the brink of death, and learns that the killer is a formerly disfigured patient who assumed a new identity, seeking revenge for her botched operation. Malcolm convinces her of an alternative revenge and confronts Ainsley with his discovery that the blood on her shirt was porcine. Ainsley tells him that she is done being manipulated, so he must make peace with knowing his sister is a murderer. In Estonia, Europol detective Simon Hoxley finds the last of Nicholas Endicott's remains.
