Storyline

Prompted by brass and media, boss Clark Medina gives complete priority and reserves nearly all resources to the case of a missing white girl, which fits the MO of a serial killer who kills within hours and uses a spotted type of car. Only Martin, who wrestles with mixed loyalties, convinces him to allow at least some effort being put simultaneously in the disappearance of Ariana Murphy, who helped acquaintance Fran Costello, who claims her separated husband Andrew shot neighbor Tyler who gave her sanctuary and his girlfriend, but that proves a time-consuming cover-up for another drama. After Jack solves the serial killer case by illegal torture of the suspect's brother, Medina promises him his job back, aiming already for a bigger promotion.
