Back in the office, Gabby updates her team on the evidence that Lacey survived, but the internal fractures are still visible. Margaret is shocked that Gabby is willing to play Jazz’s twisted game, while Dan continues to support her. Emotional tensions within the team come to a head over a new case involving a kidnapped newborn, Wren, whose mother Viola insists she is sick despite being dismissed from the hospital. The baby’s kidnapping shifts the focus, temporarily taking the team’s attention away from Lacey’s plight. Yet even when working on a new case, Gabby habitually includes Lacey in the team’s discussions, underscoring the painful void left by her absence.

As the investigation progressed, an emotional Margaret lashed out at a press conference, which became a media disaster. Her frustration with Gabi boils over, reinforcing the show’s theme: the moral gray area Gabi finds herself in—saving lives while breaking the rules in dangerous ways. Meanwhile, the team discovers that Viola’s eldest daughter, Leah, orchestrated the kidnapping in an attempt to prevent her family from having another child. This subplot brings a heartbreaking emotional layer to the episode, as Gabi sympathizes with Leah’s pain and helps save her from a suicide attempt at a crucial moment.

Amid these developments, Gabi’s ongoing confrontation with Jazz takes center stage. Their meeting in broad daylight is a heart-pounding moment as Gabi’s fears and determination collide. Mister revels in his role as a twisted puppet master, suggesting he knows more about Lacey and the missing baby than he’s letting on. His desire to be involved in solving Gabi’s case is a perverse power play that adds disturbing complexity to his character.

The episode ends on a bittersweet note. Baby Rein is reunited with her mother, but Lacey remains in Jazz’s hands. A close call with Jazz at the end of the episode left Gabby and Trent too late to rescue Lacey, leaving signs of a struggle in her brief escape attempt. As the team toasts Wren’s safe return, Gabby’s guilt and determination to end Jazz’s reign of terror weigh heavily on her heart – and it’s bittersweet knowing Lacey’s battle is far from over.

This episode of Discovery deftly balances high-stakes procedural elements with the psychological depth of its characters, showcasing both Gabby’s vulnerability and her fierce determination. The show continues to weave trauma, survival, and emotional complexity into its plot, delivering gripping drama that has us eagerly awaiting what’s next for Gabby against Jazz.
