A man is found dead in a Ferrari and Laura (Debra Messing) notices the seat wasn't in the right position for him to be driving it. They find that the actual owner of the car is at a club and was picked up by a woman, Max (Max Jenkins) describing him as a Seth Rogan lookalike. Jake (Josh Lucas) can't believe he got picked up by a woman to begin with. Laura follows her to the ladies as she's about to send a text. Hey did that in the last ep, what is it with these people using texts suddenly to warn of the police. She tells Laura she was paid to get his keys and she meets the man at an apartment downtown to get her payment. Billy (Laz Alonso) and Meredith (Janina Gavankar) check it out and find that' it's sparse and hardly lived in with no personal belongings at all. Billy thinks he knows what's going on and finds a police badge in the sink pipe. Well if that was meant to be an undercover op, there was so much that was wrong there!
Laura and Jake speak with John's mother, Mrs Campbell (Regina Taylor) and his sister, Rachel (Nia Nichole Smith) who is distraught over his death and it was her birthday. He sent her a video message from his car and Laura works out where he was shot. The coffee place where they take their children and Billy and Meredith check out a nearby garage, which was used as a 'cooling spot' until it was clear to move the cars. They wait for a car to drive up and arrest the driver, didn't Meredith see him with the gun, thought that's why she paused and took a look. He had files from John's cases which his handler, Lt Monahan (Sean Cullen) said wasn't possible since they were all on a computer which couldn't be hacked. He also tells Billy, John aka 'Ricky' was working on the case where cars are stolen.
They need to access the computer and Santiani (Callie Thorne)says Laura should go with Jake cos she's their worst detective, meaning she can play bad cop. They question him and he says that there's only three people who have access to the computer which is in his office. They need to analyze it. Meredith finds someone hacked into it and focused on John's case. Billy says he's on that too but no one would be interested in his files cos they're all old cases. Then find they're being hacked right now, as Santianai gets a whole lot of files being printed out.
Laura finds they're all personal and Santiani gets hold of the e-mails Meredith sent Billy. Laura unplugs her printer and Santiani tells everyone to shutdown. Jake was in the middle of accessing an e-mail from his doctor which he worries will get out. Meredith says the hacker is specifically targetting the second precinct and not the entire NYPD. Max (Max Jenkins) finds a safe place for them to operate from, i.e. the bar and Laura's taken to writing down messages. Billy and Meredith find a place which has good viewing access to the NYPD and a woman tells them of a man who hogged a table for four and wanted to use the computer plug. He bought lots of mocha latte doublepump chai.
Also Billy and Meredith follow a lead to an apartment which isn't him but an old man who ordered pizza online and got chatting with the site's online chat. They find where the chat link is based and Meredith didn't think about the Internet camera on the computer as the hacker watches them. When they reach the building, Billy's shot at. It's someone he arrested when he was undercover and Devin (Gregory Bastian) tells him he got his file sent to him. They find a file where Rachel was cyberbullied and he sent her photos of his privates after she tells their mother she wants to tell Jake what happened cos they can catch his killer. Laura recognizes his 'junk' ie he has a banner belonging to Hudson University. The man also spoke about Star Trek and science stuff. Laura steals a Hudson University course book from the shop and Jake finds a class which refers to English is in Mars thinking that his mentioning Ziggy means he was into David Bowie and the Spiders from Mars.
Laura saying, 'ground control to Major Jake.' She finds the man and more accurately notices his drink. He killed John cos he beat up on him for bullying Rachel. He didn't like her singing so he could say what he likes. Laura reassures his mother he will get what he deserves. Santiani wants a word with Billy and Meredith, obviously she's going to reprimand them about their relationship, but Laura intervenes when she recalls the piece of info she and Jake found out in ep 1 about how she dissed everyone when she thought she was going to get a promotion. That Laura wanted Jake to use on her to get rid of her and get his job back, but he didn't use it and got a demotion instead. She tells her she hasn't shared that with anyone and wouldn't either. Santiani relents cos Laura likes her just a tiny bit more in the time she's known her.
She and Jake have their date which consisted of pizza and wine at home and she stole Santiani's printer. She thinks there's lots of info on it and secrets they can read, but decided against it. Telling him that's what lead to him not forsaking all others til death do they part. She pulls the wire saying "no more secrets." Which Jake is relieved about cos he has a secret, the e-mail he was reading has found something on his frontal lobe which needs to be further analyzed, only he doesn't tell her, so yeah another secret he's keeping. Even if it's only cos he doesn't want to worry her at this point. Especially since it'll affect his chances of winning her back and getting forgiveness which let's face it, he wouldn't and doesn't want out of pity, but cos she genuinely does forgive him.
