Plot

After Nancy and Barbara hurried into the night, rushing after the rising smoke and fire from the burning prison, Velma looked at them, panic on her face. Grayson then ordered the patrol officers to loot Barbara's armoury and hurry to the scene, while the others stayed in the precinct. Jake then hurried into a patrol car with the player, driving through the panicked crowds straight to the attacked prison. As Jake rushed out of his patrol car, he fell to his knees and looked on at the sight in front of him; a metal pole drenched in blood, glass stained red... and their former leader, Raymond Henderson's, head impaled on a spike amongst the fire.

An hour earlier, Raymond looks on at Drake Henderson in the interrogation room, his eyes filled with sadness at his fallen son, as Jake and the player hurry to the others. Raymond then excuses himself from the room, taking one last look at his child, before hurrying away. The still is broken by Raymond running up a hill, sobbing from sadness. He rushes to the bird-feeding bench as tears run down his cheeks, looking at the sea. Birds caw in the background as a shadow steps out from the darkness, but Raymond doesn't notice, his eyes leaking like a faucet. The shadow approaches Raymond as the former chief accepted his fate. Raymond thinks over his life, his wife, his son, his team, as his shoulder is cut by a blade and he's dragged through the dirt, over the cliff's edge. On the beach below, blood pools around him as he looks up at the stars, eyes filling with bravery and acceptance as the shadow follows him, stepping closer, and closer, a blade in their hand. Then, Raymond's eyes close and the darkness consumes him forever...

Presently, a sorrowful Jake bagged Raymond's head, sending it off for analysis as patrol officers worked to contain the rioting prisoners. A solemn Daphne then autopsied Raymond's head, admitting that it was Raymond who saw her potential years ago, and she wouldn't be where she was without him. They then returned to the crime scenes, where they found suspected bloodied and bruised President Arthur Stainton, whose convoy had been attacked, and heist crew mastermind Tiffany Morello, before finding Barbara's friendship necklace, leading to them suspecting her. The weapons expert then insisted she'd been attacked by serial killer Miguel Sanchez and blacked out while she was searching for Nancy. As the team mourned the loss of their former leader, the phone rang, and on the other end, was one of the missing two.

Mildred then rushed to answer the call, where a sorrowful Nancy spoke on the other end. Nancy then admitted she was still hunting down the escaped convicts, revealing she'd seen Henrietta Spence by the beach. After hurrying after her, Nancy found Raymond's headless body. Nancy then ended the call, prompting the team to hurry to the beach. As they wheeled the second set of remains to Daphne, Noah pleaded with a receptionist that Matthew was missing. They then found reason to suspect escaped prisoners Augustus Draper and Nicoletta Valentini, along with Mayor Edgar Murdoch. After the pair discovered that Tiffany had joined the syndicate and was ordered to kill Raymond, and that Barbara was forced to shoot a suspect in self-defence years prior, before a shocked Daphne approached the pair, revealing she'd found evidence that would break the case wide open... the President's hair in Raymond's wounds.
