While Steve is off to chase his father's presumed murderer in Japan, another female body is found, fitting the torturous MO of a jailed serial killer. Max takes an extreme interest in the case, his biological mother having fallen victim to him before they could meet. He is in contact with the convicted man, whom he believes innocent except of the last kill, and from jail tips off Danny's team to go after the main killer, who may not be a copycat, as believes the retired former case detective. As they realize the link between victims is giving up babies for adoption, the trail leads to the abandonment site, the church of deacon MacKenna, who is arrested after blood is found on the parish truck. Max remains with the church caretaker while Danny questions the deacon.
