The angels are at a basketball training session/match and Kate (Annie Ilonzeh) tells the others it's the first training of the season. Bosley (Ramon Rodriguez) plays too. Eve (Minka Kelly) says how good Bosley is. Bosley and Eve appear to have a connection, I know I keep saying that, but she was there when he got the postcard last episode and in episode 8 he'll be there for her too. A sniper shoots and kills Mark's (Romeo Miller) father. Kate says Mark is part of the royal family of Ukata, which Abby (Rachael Taylor) explains is on the Atlantic coast, as her father had a weakness for exotic locations and they safaried. Eve: "Miss Googlemaps herself."
Eve also points out Ray (Isaiah Mustafa) is watching them, more like watching Kate. Kate tries to convince her relationship with Ray is finished, but she watches and wants him anyway. Ray takes over the investigation of Mark's father's shooting and has got "four pretty reliable witnesses." Pretty as in their looks or pretty as in probably. Eve heard four shots. The shooter walked away like a fan. Kate asks where Bosley was standing and finds two shots were fired which were also meant for Mark.
At the consulate, Det Millard (Michelle Jones) meets Kate, who adds, sarcastically, "that Kate Prince." Ray says they're witnesses. FBI Agent Carter (Damon Sementilli) says he'll find answers before Ray does. His father's aide, Richard (Richard Brooks) hires the angels and Ray says they're not Carter's witnesses. Kate tells Carter that Mark is now their client and so they can talk to him, with Ray smirking. Mark's gone. He's the sole heir to the throne and there could be a civil war.
Charlie (Victor Garber) lets them investigate their own cases. He will ensure there's a news and media blackout of the story. Abby says the social media hasn't been quiet and his godfather wants Mark to return to their country as it's the only way to maintain stability. Eve replies Mark has the perks of being a prince. Bosley asks what they wanted to do at 20. Kate wanted to be a sharp shooter. Eve a racecar driver and Abby wanted to be acknowledged by her father. Bosley finds Facebook has the lowdown on Mark. Dominique (Inbar Lari) has photos with him and she's a lifeguard. She was suspicious anyway. Bosley notices she's watching the beach more than the ocean. Eve dresses like Kris (Cheryl Ladd) from the original show. They find Mark hiding in the tower. Everyone's been looking at him differently and calling him 'highness.' He doesn't know what his father deals with, or what should be dealt with.
Kate doesn't find anything from the footage where Abby saw the muzzle flash. Abby spots the banner is reflective and they see the shooter, who is a woman. Kate calls Bosley and sends him a photo, who then shows it to Eve. And along comes said shooter casually strolling on the beach. Eve in yet another fight. Abby tells Eve her fight made it to the Net and the key Eve found from the shooter, Eve says belongs to a motorbike. Bosley takes Mark and Dominique to the safe house, telling Mark it's fine to be scared. When Mark was seven he lost his mother and uncle who were attacked in the car. His uncle was the king. It was never safe and his father sent him to the US, "where dreams come true." He could come home when he's ready. Listening to his father's voice at school made him feel okay. Bosley can relate and thinks Mark is a natural leader. When Bosley was 20 he had a scholarship to MIT and wanted to graduate and work for the NSA and change the world. He made bad choices. Life makes other plans.
The angels find money and a phone in the motorbike box. They try to work out the password to unlock the phone and Eve rearranges the letters to spell, 'ghost.' She's good at Scrabble. Hillary is in the US Army and has an alias. She was a sniper in the Ghost programme. Her real name is classified and she died five years ago. Charlie contacted a retired general friend of his and Abby adds, he has "useful friends." Her name is Tabitha (Raquel Alessi) and her body was never recovered. There are outgoing payments from different accounts and Kate believes she has a secret. Abby thinks Kate should talk to her and Eve tells her it is Ray's case after all. Abby doesn't think Kate is persona non grata to Ray. Besides Ray doesn't know who Tabitha is. Kate makes a deal to talk to her for five minutes. Kate investigates her own way or she threatens to make a deal with Carter instead.
It's been a while since Kate has been in a cell like that, i.e. holding room and shows Tabitha a photo of her sister, Rachel. Tabitha's been paying her tuition with blood money and she'll keep her out in return for Tabitha telling her who she was hired by. She'll hide the money trail for her. Ray took his time coming in when Kate called to him. She was hired by a company, Mason Winkler; which is based in the Bahamas. Abby finds it's a shell for Langley Diamonds and Langley (Jeff Moore) runs the company, which is clean since Langley covered his tracks. Ray needs Kate's help and has to come out and ask her for it, giving Kate ideas about getting back together. Langley inherited the family fortune and Abby determines this case is about corporate greed. Bosley thinks Langley can get whoever he wants into power. His company server is located at Star Island. Eve suggests they should get his corporate records.
Abby wants to see his neighbours and they'll be able to get in through the front door. Eve will pay whoever out of the boys can break a window first. One of the boy's (Nick Merico) asks for Abby's digits. Abby hates that she manages to attract juvenile boys of all ages. Abby and Eve enter the mansion as glass repairers and download info from his server, well Bosley downloads the info. Bosley "I'm in."
Abby: "I love it when you're literal." The info leads to lithium as there's money to be made in telecoms. Langley's expanding into batteries and he arrives home. Eve spots a photo of Dominique and Kate took her time calling Bosley. Abby says Dominique tipped off the assassin...she holds a gun on Mark, it was for the money cos he has everything and Langley promised no one would get hurt. Bosley grabs the gun saying, "You always have a choice." Mark blames her for his father's killing. The safehouse is raided but Bosley takes them out. Mark escapes to go after Langley.
Bosley tries to prevent him from shooting Langley and tells him he won't get away when he's up against them. His father let justice run its course after his mother died. Mark relents and Eve shoots Langley when he goes for his gun, Abby calling it a nice shot. Mark is ready to go home. Bosley gives him a St Christopher his grandmother gave him. Mark could use a chief of staff. Bosley suggests he could send the royal jet for when he feels like a game of basketball. Mark claims Bosley's too old for that.
Ray doesn't believe he could have solved the case without Kate and invites her to the game, which she misses and asks Ray for a drink, but he's seeing Miller. Kate throws some baskets and Abby and Eve arrive with food and beer to cheer her up. Kate comments her timing sucks. Funny how first Eve and Abby pointed Kate in Ray's direction and then they were there when she needed some friends at the end. They just knew. Kate couldn't decide what she wanted as in 1.3 she returned his ring when he didn't want it back which probably told him she's moved on or at least wants to move on. Then she changes her mind and it doesn't take much coaxing from the others to make her go for it again. Then she's hurt and angry when she sees Ray has moved on as if it was anyone else's fault but her own for being a dirty cop. Didn't like that detective much though, she was rather snide and stuck up by the way she turned her nose up when Kate told her who she was. Then when she came to meet Ray at the court, it was as though she was rubbing it in Kate's face.
Bosley tells Dominique they have choices which is what he said in 1.2. Bosley turned out to be a real mentor/coach didn't he? After all he's been through, he can still relay hope to Mark and be positive. Though he didn't tell the angels what he wanted to do at 20, he tells Mark later on. Out of the three angels Abby was the one who didn't want to aspire to much, though having money maybe she didn't feel she needed to, but only wanted her father's love and approval, which is fine but they could have had her add something else too and given her some ambition. Or was that wanting to meet a man who wasn't a juvenile, considering in the Pilot she said the bartender she liked had future plans, of getting a yacht. She didn't really aim high.
When Bosley asked what the angels wanted to do at 20, their replies were similar to the original angels. Besides the newer angels being all bad to begin with. Of the originals, Jill (Farah Fawcett) wanted to be an athlete, she also coached a girl's basketball team on her day off, as Bosley coached a basketball team too. Jill was also a racecar driver; Eve's ambition. Kelly's (Jaclyn Smith) parents abandoned her, but in season 1 she had a boyfriend, Dr Alan Samuleson (played by none other than Magnum PI himself, Tom Selleck). Kelly was also a sharp shooter and adept in martial arts, specifically karate and judo. Sabrina (Kate Jackson) was really the one who'd practically done everything. She had an ex husband, Bill Duncan who was also a police officer and ex military. In the original show, The Prince and the Angel episode sees Jill flirt with a real prince who is the target of assassins from his own country.
Ramon played basketball in his eleventh and twelfth years at high school and college basketball at Wheeling Jesuit University. At New York University he received a BS in Sports Management.
