Lisbon (Robin Tunney) tries on an expensive ring in a jeweller's and she asks Cho (Tim Kang) if they should go ahead and buy it. Of course we were meant to think that it was Patrick (Simon Baker) who was buying the ring for her, for their impending nuptials, ha, not such a spoiler cos we all know they were going to go there, this being the final season. Cho pulls out his credit card. Patrick waits in the car since he can't go in there and yes a plot ploy, this time round he has a nasty cold. So he wasn't able to do much, which was a shame. No wonder they must've decided to bring in the storyline with Abbot (Rockmond Dunbar) and his wife Lena (Christine Adams). She's going to be selected for the high powered job in Washington. Anyhow, getting back, Lisbon hands the ring to a woman who appraises it. The diamond is part of the stolen jewels. They head back to the jewellery store and inside Lisbon IDs herself with a badge. She tells the jeweller that two guards were shot in the heist and shows him their pictures. He claims he was out of the country and bought the diamond from a reputable source.
Patrick tells Lisbon that the jeweller, Joubert (William Abadie) and his assistant, Wren (Devon Barnes) are in a relationship and he won't leave his wife for her. Lisbon asks if he's hiding assets cos he's getting a divorce but he insists he won't leave his wife. Patrick saying if he cheated on his wife, then she'll be next. Vega (Josie Loren) asks Cho about the arrest and he's not really talking with her cos he has trust issues. As I said, it's Cho, trust is an important issue for him. She also says that she came clean to Abbot about lying when he didn't give permission for her to accompany Cho in the last ep Orange Blossom Ice Cream. She wants to know how she can make it up. Patrick makes some hot lemon and honey for his throat as Lisbon and Abbot both say that he looks pale. Lisbon also asks if he's heard about the promotion for his wife yet.
Wylie (Joe Adler) says the receipts confirm Joubert bought the diamond at the jewellery show. Abbot tells Cho to take Vega to the show, but he'd rather take Lisbon. He finally gives in and tells her to come. Cho asks if she's interrogated a suspect and he tells her to follow his lead and not to lie to anyone. Oh Cho rub it in, ha. Kirk (Will Green) Rene Rivera) asks if they're looking for Rosales (Rene Rivera) and the security man, Bell (Leonard Roberts) shows up. He is concerned someone is using the black market to sell off the stolen jewels. Rosales sells to Joubert every year and Vega starts speaking in Spanish to him. Bell takes them outside where they find Kirk's DB, he's lying on the stairs.
Abbot tells Wylie to check out the security footage and he tells Patrick he should go home. Patrick looks at what's happening there live. Lisbon talks with Kirk's ex who mentions him having a scheme every month and so she broke it off. He got into the jewellery business as he needed money for his children and hung out with a bad crowd. Mentioning Walker Pond (Jeff Branson) who Cho speaks with. He says Kirk was good, but always in a rush, he wanted to teach him the tricks of the trade but he was too impatient. He saw Kirk with Greta (Claudia Christian) who's an appraiser. Greta says she keeps the sellers honest and he daughter is also there, Bibby (Amelia Rose Blaire) chewing gum. Which really isn't a look that should be seen at such a show. That was a clue for later. Patrick watches them on the footage and tells Cho his fly is undone! Oh Patty, the oldest fly ploy going! ha.
He feels faint and Abbot tells him to go home again. Yeah to the Airstream. Kirk left his booth after he spoke to Cho and they look for Pond, but he's not there. He packed up and left in a hurry. Wylie gets a hit off Pond's card and is heading to an airport in Galveston. Abbot tells Wylie to send Cho as he's meeting his wife. He and Lena meet Bob (Larry Clarke) about her confirmation and that the other side doesn't want to take her on cos of something that happened with Abbot, called Rio Bravo Station. But she doesn't know what happened there. Abbot was a newbie back then. It had to do with taking down drug cartels, which Bob says can be dirty, especially with many law enforcement officials involved who can turn bad.
At the airport, they find Pond who thinks they're working for Losa as shots are fired. Cho gives chase and Vega apprehends Pond. Pond tells Lisbon Kirk is dead cos of him, he borrowed his hoodie and he borrowed money from Losa's boss. Kirk went out the fire exit cos it's a secret area for smokers. She also tells him that Losa wasn't there as they tacked him. Patty's not psychic, ha, but he tells Lisbon to look at the smoking aspect of the case. He's too ill to do it, but she should come down and bring him soup, tomato or bean. He wants her to stand in for him and bring out the killer, should I say smoke out the killer, ha. He'll practice with her, but she's nervous.
Bob tells Abbot that his wife can get the promotion if they appear to have trouble in their marriage and separate. She won't have to lie about it. Abbot tells Lena he can't go with her, he's too invested here and they can make their marriage work long distance. He can't tell her about Rio Bravo station so she can say she doesn't know what happened.
Lisbon pretends to be psychic at the show and puts on a show of her own. Was a bit disappointing without Patty there, but I guess they had to give Lisbon a go at doing what he does. He talks her through it and Wylie identifies a woman there called Mary Kate Barrows (Dinora Walcott) and that she's lost her dog, Roger, who says he's doing okay. Patrick's sofa is moved to a position in front of the screens. Lisbon pretends to hear Kirk's voice and says that she'll speak though him. Saying one of them was his friend but that's what they did to him. Listening to Patrick she tells them that the killer chews gun and he hopes there's nicotine gum in prison, referring to Bibby. She also says she wants her mother to see the shame one her face. Lisbon adding if the killer confesses she'll get a deal from the FBI. Bibby loses her temper, again and says she's smart. She met Kirk at a bar and they both needed money.
She would steal the gems and replace them with the ones not registered and sell them on the black market. She lost her temper at him and couldn't stop hitting him. She asks how he knew about the gum and Cho tells her that her mother wouldn't let her chew bubble gun in that place. Vega brings in Bell and puts him in interrogation. She thinks the trust building exercise will work for them if he catches her and she catches him, but he's not into it. Yeah can really picture Cho doing that! Ha. He finally relents and ask if she wants to got to the firing range.
Patty ponders what would happen if they gave it all up and just left right now. Lisbon doesn't want to cos this is who she is. He says he was just thinking out loud and she leaves him to get some rest, as she too sneezes. Er, Patty spread the dreaded lurgy! ha. Will never forget that from school. As I said a little on the dull side cos Patty wasn't his normal self, but Lisbon did her best. The Abbot storyline along with Vega was just filler. Nothing exciting there. Except the Abbot one will probably turn up again later to tie up loose ends.
