- Evidence in the murder of an antiques dealer found dead in a museum indicates that the suspect may be a member of the CBI team.
- Rich Precolumbian archaeology professor Manuel Montero, also a well-reputed traded in antiquities, is murdered in the Nothern Calirfornia Museum of Anthropology. He was meeting a buyer for a Mayan golden pendant, the only item stolen there. His transport crew is caught, also dealing in illegal arms, but Patrick believes the motive personal. Laroche's IA investigation reduced serial cop-killer Todd Johnson's torch-murder suspects to five CBI members with opportunity, including only one with a motive: agent Madeleine Hightower was the former lover of murdered CHip Jim Rance. Links between both cases are found. Patrick however sees it all as part of Red John's master plan.—KGF Vissers

- When the archaeologist Manuel Montero is found murdered in a museum, Lisbon and Patrick investigate the crime scene. They learn that Professor Montero was also a trader and was selling a valuable Mayan pendant to a buyer, and the relic is missing. They learn that the team responsible for the transportation of his acquisitions are also traders of weapons in the black market, but Patrick believes the professor was killed by another reason. Meanwhile, J.J. LaRoche meets Hightower and say that four agents and she are his prime suspects. Further, he says that Hightower would have the motive to torch Todd Johnson.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

- Lisbon and the team, with La Roche, talk to a woman, asking which way the suspect went. The woman says up the stairs and toward the roof, which is where Jane works. La Roche cautions them to go slowly because the target will be armed.
They draw their guns and head to the locked roof door. Jane says he's coming out and tells them to lower firearms if they're carrying them.
The door opens slowly, Hightower comes out with a shotgun held to Jane's neck. "Stand back, or he dies," she says.
36 Hours Earlier At the Northern California Museum of Archaeology and Antrhopology
The victim is Miguel Montero, a university professor in ancient art. A $200,000 gold Mayan figurine is missing.
Security cameras show Montero entering the museum at 10:15 p.m. alone and turning off the security cameras.
Jane notices a rib missing from a dinosaur skeleton. Lisbon has it dusted for prints.
Rigsby talks to Kristof Papadakis, a professor of anthropology. He says Montero traveled to South America frequently to look at ruins. Many of the museum pieces were on loan from him.
Montero had a key to the building and the security codes. He was stabbed in the back.
Jane notices he's wearing a Casio. He typed out "blog."
Hightower gets a visit from La Roche, still working on the Todd Johnson case. She knew one of Johnson's victims, Rance Howard, a CHP officer. La Roche says there was a rumor she was involved with Howard. She asks what business it is of his.
Van Pelt finds Montero had a blog called "I Dig Dead People." He set up a viewing for the necklace that went missing.
Montero had a warehouse. He was making money even with countries suing to get their artifacts back.
Jane pulls up to work. A security guard tells him he has to park somewhere different. Jane remembers the guy's kid is into dinosaurs and gives him a wolf's tooth replica. Jane pulls into the parking garage.
He sees Hightower smoking against her car. He can tell she's been "La Roched."
He asks if she had an affair with Rance Howard. She says it's her personal life.
Rigsby and Cho check out the Montero's warehouse and find three guys loading a crate into a van. They try to talk to them, but the guys start shooting.
Cho and Rgisby hit one guy and take another into custody. They find automatic weapons in the art crate.
Cho talks to Roberto Salvador, here on a work visa from Columbia. He calmly says he only shot because they shot at him. He says Montero hired him to run his shipping operation of both weapons and antiquities.
He shipped guns to South America and traded them for black market antiquities. Jane watches and says it's all lies. He asks Salvador how Montero's black market contacts would have killed him. He would have ended up in a mass grave.
Jane announces Montero was killed for reasons that had nothing to do with Columbian art or cartels.
La Roche shows Hightower his floor plan model of where everyone was at the time of Johnson's murder. He's broken it down into people who were too far away, didn't have security clearance or have witnesses who can verify their location.
Five people remain. One is her. He says she's the only one with a motive. She admits she was sleeping with officer Howard, but they were no longer together when he was killed. She says she didn't torch Johnson.
Lisbon has found that Montero grew up in Vineland, hometown of cop killer Johnson. They were best friends. Montero bought the guns from gun shops. One of the guns was the one Johnson used to kill his victims. She's briefing LaRoche, Burton and Hightower in 10 minutes.
Jane goes to find the fingerprint lab, to follow up on the prints on the dinosaur. The stressed out lab guy hasn't found a match yet. "I'm not David Caruso, it takes time," he says.
Jane pushes the guy, telling him to get on and making him panic to the point he knocks over his soda on his keyboard.
Lisbon leads the briefing with dozens of agents. Jane calls Hightower in the middle of the briefing. He tells her to meet him in his aerie and says he knows who the evidence is about to reveal as the killer. Her.
Lisbon explains to the group that they think whoever killed Johnson killed Montero. La Roche watches Hightower leave.
The female witness from the opening gets off an elevator as Hightower goes up a nearby flight of stairs.
Upstairs in Jane's space, Hightower walks in to see him holding a shotgun at her. He says he's open-minded about her involvement.
He tells her any minute now the lab is going to identify her prints at the Montero crime scene. She's either being framed or she's a lunatic killer.
She tells him to put the shotgun down.
He cocks it. She tells him to turn her into La Roche if he's so sure. He says if she killed Johnson, she's his because Johnson was killed to cover up Red John and he wants whoever has ties to Red John.
She pleads with him, crying, saying she's just a single mom and isn't capable of it.
When he softens, she grabs the shotgun out of his hands, knocks him over and turns it on him.
Downstairs, Burton is convinced they're looking for one killer. The fingerprint guy brings the results up to Lisbon, showing Hightower is a match. Lisbon thinks it's a mistake, but La Roche isn't surprised. La Roche orders a search warrant made up for her house. He wants security footage from the museum checked for her car. Lisbon objects, but La Roche says Hightower has been on the top of a short suspect list since before he found out about the affair.
They start searching for Hightower. Lisbon calls her, telling her to call.
At Hightower's house, Rigsby and Cho search her things. They find a false bottom in a drawer -- and the gold Mayan pendant inside.
We're back at the beginning, with the witness directing them upstairs to Jane's place.
They open the door and see Hightower with the shotgun taped to Jane and taped to her hand. She tells Lisbon there's nothing she could have done to prevent this.
They let her through. She blocks their access to the parking garage.
With Jane driving, with duct tape around his neck, he pulls up to the security guard at the gate. He raves about the wolf's tooth Jane gave him. Jane blows through the security gate.
Lisbon and several cars take off after them. They get an accident report. Lisbon and La Roche reach the SUV. Jane's inside, OK. Hightower is gone.
He waited for her to unwrap her hand and crashed intentionally.
Later, Lisbon and La Roche brief Burton. Jane has a concussion. Hightower is on the FBI's Most Wanted List. Burton wanders away, quoting William Blake. (Who wrote the tiger poem that Red John quoted Jane....)
Lisbon visits Jane, asking why Hightower would come to him to make her escape. He says he had nothing to do with it. He says he should thank her, and La Roche.
Later, Jane goes to La Roche's house, bringing him a bottle of Scotch. Jane says it's too bad Hightower got away. He's sure she got away.
Jane leaves and creeps over to La Roche's car. He knocks on his trunk and opens it. Hightower is inside.
Flash back to the parking garage, him assuring her his plan will work -- that they'll search the car of everyone but the man leading the investigation. He tells her to turn off her phone and take his.
She gives him his phone back and says she and her kids can stay at her sister's cabin in Saratoga for a while. He tells her to stay hidden or Red John will come after her. "Red John has an insider at CBI who framed me for murder, I think it's safe to say he won this round," she says.
Jane says with her gone, Red John will start to relax and make a mistake. She thanks him for getting her out of the building. He says no one can know, not even Lisbon.
