A man meets with an estate agent/realtor who calls him Mr Lydon and shakes his hand, then wipes it on his coat. He turns around and shoots him in the empty building. Then cuts a hole and uses that to put his gun through the window and shoot two FBI agents and another man. Lisbon (Robin Tunney) and Patrick (Simon Baker) play Foosball and she wins him, telling him she's not competitive, she just likes to win. Patrick pays the bill and tells the waitress not to play her cos she's brought up three brothers. He then sees the news about the shootings and Lisbon wants some chicken wings, before being called. The assassin shreds photos of the target, Hu and then takes the photo of a woman and places it in a file. She's his next target.
Abbot (Rockmond Dunbar) tells them about the shootings and Agent Spackman (Tim Griffin) is back. Kelvin Bittaker's (Matthew Alan) family is behind the hit. Patrick notices the icing on the dead agent's coat and says he ate Beignet's. It would have been the assassin since the agent was immaculately dressed. Patrick and Spackman still don't like each other. He also says that the killer is regional and tells Spackman that not many people know what Beignets are. Yummy Beignets had them in New Orleans, they just don't taste the same when you make them yourself. Spackman says there's another witness, Lily (Alexa Vega) in the trial of Jamie, a college student who was beaten up in an alley by Kelvin. He wants her to testify but she's not convinced and he wants Patrick to use his charm and flattery to make her change her mind. Patrick's surprised Spackman used those words on him and well, can't help smiling at the compliment, he's a little bit of both.
Back at the FBI office, Patrick talks with Lily and her husband Matt (Jeff Ward) and he wants her to remember her baby son at home, who also needs her. Patrick says he's not here to convince her to testify, it's up to her. She describes the scene when Jamie was beaten up over and over in the alley and she was watching in her SUV and Hu was in front of his shop. He beat him up with no remorse and then saw the two of them, Lily drove away. Wouldn't it have been better if they called the police then, instead of watching him get beaten up. Patrick then mentions her son, Henry with a good, strong name and what sort of legacy he'll have, one where their parents were brave and helped others, or reasonably cautious. Lily agrees to do it, but Matt doesn't like it. Patrick tells Spackman that he wants her protected, he doesn't want his word, just that she'll be safe.
Abbot meets Kelvin in prison and tells him to sit down. He also tells him about the killings and Kelvin is surprised and happy at the same time, cos it means he won't be going inside. Abbot tells Cho (Tim Kang) it's unlikely Kelvin ordered the hits, but he has a brother Ethan (Devon Graye) who also has a record and another brother, Caleb (Tyler Case). Cho hasn't found any messages mentioning the hit and how they communicated with Lydon. Abbot wants Cho and Patrick to pay a visit to the Bittaker's garage and Cho tells their mother, Belinda (Mary Kay Place) about the hit, the dead agents and Lily. As Ethan walks around with his IV pole. She acts as if she doesn't know what they're talking about and Patrick says she's a terrible liar. They're living hand to mouth she says, but they point out their Ferrari's there and Patrick sees Caleb playing the video game. He tells Belinda not to take anti-depressants cos she's not happy even when taking them. Patrick and his trusty tea cup, asks Wylie (Joe Adler) how they could have sent messages with each other as Wylie has the screen open to the computer game that Caleb is playing, he's Cal da King. It's most likely the killer and the Bittaker's communicated through the game. He asks Wylie to find the names of three people who were bottom of the score list.
Abbot finds they have a suspect by the name of Lydon (Brendan Wayne) based on the ballistics and Spackman comments he's regional and his name is Lydon. There's no photos of him. Wylie says he's found three people, one's in Nova Scotia, one in the UK and one in Louisiana. Obviously it's the one in Louisiana as Patrick tells him, since it's the Beignet connection there! Ha. He, Spackman and Lisbon drive down to a cabin in Louisiana and Spackman tells Patrick to stay as he and Lisbon will check it out. He tells Spackman he will but he's not his dog. Patrick notices someone inside as Lydon opens the door to Lisbon and him. Spackman goes round back and finds the dead woman's body and Lydon shoots him before shooting at Lisbon and Patrick, who dives to save her. Patrick helps Spackman. Notice it was Spackman who came with them, usually it would've been Cho. He's stable and will pull through. Patrick notices the bullet hole in Lisbon's jacket.
Patrick is told he saved Spackman's life and Lisbon tells Abbot about Lily's photo on the computer. Abbot tells them to get a sketch artist to draw his description and Patrick asks Wylie to come up with various computer simulations showing how he'd likely disguise himself. Abbot tells Cho that it reeks of arrogance and he replies it always does. They both want to get the Bittaker's and he takes Cho with him to see Belinda and if she calls his bluff. Ethan has dialysis once a day and has 38 months left on his parole, She still acts as if she knows nothing and Cho arrests Ethan for meeting with a prisoner in violation of his parole. He replies it's his brother. Abbot tells her they can look after him but who knows after that when he's back inside. She tells Abbot he's an officer and so can't do anything underhand as he's ethical. Abbot takes Ethan anyway, saying they don't really know him to Cho.
Wiley's slide show of disguises is forwarded to agencies and to the hotel where Lily is staying.
Vega (Josie Loren) tells Wiley her favourite game is Battlefield and she can beat him. Wiley challenges her to it . Abbot says they have to be a step ahead of Lydon and he's shown timing himself when he throws a smoke bomb behind a door. He then shaves his head, takes botex injections and disguises himself, but doesn't look like any of the faces in the slide show. Patrick has a plan. They go to the hotel and they check out all the possible exits, lifts, stairs, where Lydon can appear from and they get pretend shot. Lisbon says she's been shot at least six times and Patrick corrects her by saying seven, but he's sure his plan will work. Lisbon stays over at Patrick's Airstream and he can't sleep. Patty in his pyjamas!! ha. She tells him everything's going to be okay but he's not so sure. She tells him to come back to bed and she used to sing her brothers a lullaby until they fell asleep. She sings Living on a Prayer and gets Patrick to join in. That was a nice scene, first we see them playing Foosball together and now they've been spending time with each other at night too. Though that was already apparent!
Lily is made ready to got the the court, as the smoke alarm goes off. The hotel is evacuated and Abbot sends Patrick back to the van with Wiley. Matt tells them if something happens and he didn't do everything he could've done he'll regret it. Patrick goes for a quick check but notices the smoke alarm and the smoke, so it's happening now. Getting back to the van, he looks out for Lydon since he'll be dressed as an emergency team member. Lydon shows up wearing an EMT uniform and carrying a bag. He gets to the floor and Patrick tells them he sees someone on the 6th floor, which Lisbon takes. She follows him, but finds it's not him. Yeah it's convenient that person had to have an injury. Lydon hears them talking about the 7th floor and Lydon pretends he's been shot. The FBI "extra" agent checks him out and he's beaten. They wait for the lift, as Lydon comes out of the cupboard and tries to shoot her, then sees it's not her, it's Vega. Of course it would be ,they would've substituted her by the lift with her husband in an FBI jacket.
Cho shoots Lydon and Patrick asks if everyone's alright and then asks for Lisbon. She says she's back with the team. Cho sits with Belinda and she tells them she's not going to roll over on his son. She'd rather get the needle. Abbot tells her he's happy with the outcome and Lily' testified. Kelvin's going to prison. Cho tells her he doesn't have any children, but Jamie's mother loved her son too and the people they killed also had parents. Wiley gets to challenge Vega to their game. Lisbon is upset and angry with Patrick and tells him he knows why. He made her break away from the team on purpose and she says he can't do that. She's an agent and it's her job. He replies he was protecting her and he 'd do it again, which she calls a problem.
So that's what Patty sat up all night planning, how he could not only save Lily, but also Lisbon too in the process. She's right, he shouldn't have done that cos they were all in the same boat and he can't be picking who to save or not to save. He never used to before and it's not really the point that they're together now. Though his heart's in the right place. Lisbon not knowing how they'll work together if she cant do her job. Patrick thinking they'll work it out will really send a rift between them. But he was rattled by the fact Lisbon was almost shot. They'll work it out, who can stay angry at Patty!!
