A teen's DB is found under a bridge and Vic (Katee Sackhoff) calls in Walt (Rob Taylor) as he tends bar at the Red Pony, she had a Russian passport and Vic thinks the case may be related to human trafficking. Walt doesn't think so since she wouldn't have her passport with her. She's found to be adopted by a couple and they say they couldn't have children of their own so they found her. But she was a handful and couldn't be controlled, so they sent her to a school. A school which Vic questions if it is a school or a prison. The woman tells them she got into trouble a lot and when she ran away he sent Norwood (Myk Watford) after her, his phone was found by her body and she reluctantly gives them access to his records. At the school Polina's (Mary Elise Hayden) roommate shows them the photos she sent her and one of them showed a man dropping her off somewhere. As the woman comes in, Walt tells her he was checking his e-mail!!
They plan to stay overnight and Vic strikes up a conversation about bad girls, good girls and how was Walt meant to react at that anyway, finding out she was a bad girl, that much was obvious. She says bad girls need forgiveness. As well as drinking his beer, exactly she could've got her own, it was a bar after all. Walt has trouble with his room door and then they both sit and look at the adjoining door, Walt looked funny thinking what Vic would come bursting through the door, ha! She does knock on the door as they have a lead on Norwood, who Walt reads like a book, or one of his books I should say, as he joins him for a beer and sends Vic for supplies. He tells Walt how she was in his office naked so he helped himself and then she took off with his phone, after he did her favours and left the doors open for her. He thought he'd hang out here for a while. Walt arrests him for statutory rape and suspicion of murder.
Branch (Bailey Chase) returns to work, guess it's not so much that he has to, but more that he needs to , to find out what happened to him and who shot him. As Ferg (Adam Bartley) later catches him in Walt's office, but doesn't see him reading the files into his case. He also brings in the man who dropped Polina off at some trailer park. Here Walt and Vic find the couple just drove off and the man saying the walls were just paper thin. Right he was being helpful so he was my suspect straight off. Walt thinks it's a good idea if they bought the couple to them after they find so many predators online looking for children but nothing can be done about them as they don't have their real names. Walt gets Ruby (Louanne Stephens) to access the chatrooms putting out a message of how they can't handle their Russian daughter.
A man stops by who gave her a lift and she told him about her father abusing her. Vic says it might have bee the truth and not her fantasy as he put it. They talk in the chat room to a couple who send a photo of Polina and their daughter Sofia (Charlotte Alexis White) and Vic takes hold of Walt's arm to make it look more real. The man turns up and it's the one from the trailer park, as he runs away in his truck with Sofia. He gets her to pull a gun on Walt and to shoot him. But Walt tells her about Polina and brings the toy unicorn with him. Now how did he get that into his pocket?! ha. He takes her away and says he will find a good place for her.
Elsewhere Henry (Lou Diamond Phillips) is being beaten up by Malachi's' (Graham Greene) men saying he's showing him his roots and there's no Walt here to protect him. Infact if they knew about him being friends with Walt he'd have a tougher time in here. Henry's PD (Public Defender) doesn't come in and the second one that does is incompetent (aren't they all?) so Cady (Cassidy Freeman) fires him and takes on his case instead. Walt tries to call him but can't get through and when he does visit he gets Malachi instead who tells him how bad things can get for Henry, he wants him to help him out at his parole hearing.
A bit of routine a episode with the murder of Polina and it was apparent this would happen to her since she tired to get Sofia away from them. As was Henry's predicament in jail with with Malachi inside too. You'd have thought he'd have gotten bail by now or put in solitary, but they're not so big on that over there. Branch is determined to find out who shot him and hasn't made any headway yet.
