- Finch and Mr. Reese are going after a person who seems to be leading a double life. However, they soon realize there are 2 people with the same social security number; one of whom is in danger and one who's an impostor.
- Carter, disapproving of Reese's methods, still is not accepting his or Finch's calls. She receives a visit that provides yet another perspective on Reese's possible life. Without Carter's assistance, Reese and Finch will require Fusco to return to good cop mode to help with their latest number, that belonging to Jordan Hester. They have little information about Jordan, who seems in large part to be living off the grid. They have no photographs of Jordan, nor do they even know if Jordan is a male or female. What little information they have seems to indicate that Jordan leads two parallel lives, including having two apartments. What they find on their leads is two different Jordan Hesters, a male bar worker, and a female antiques aficionado. They come to the conclusion that one is the true Jordan Hester, the other someone who stole the identity. Reese's find of a third apartment under Jordan's name and information obtained by Fusco from the Identity Theft squad and from a convicted criminal who claims to be behind bars since he was the victim of identity theft leads Reese and Finch to figuring out which is the real Jordan, and what the fake Jordan is up to. However, they may come to the realization too late for one of them.—Huggo
- When The Machine delivers a number, Finch finds two reclusive persons with the same name, Jordan Hester, and no data or social network in Internet. One is a male bartender and the other is a female that likes books and antiques. Carter has blocked Reese and does not help them, so Reese asks Fusco to help him to find the past of Jordan Hester. Reese follows the man while Finch follows the woman. Soon they learn that they have misinterpreted the information they have and who the real criminal is. Meanwhile Carter is contacted by a task-force of the FBI that is hunting Reese down.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Open with Finch giving Reese the latest number. Based on the social security number he's finding two completely separate digital footprints under the name Jordan Hester. The footprint is small, so he doesn't even know if the person is a man or woman. They assume Hester is leading a double life.
Carter drops by the scene of a 17-year old African American male killed over a girl. The shooter confessed, saying it was the police's fault because they were there to stop him. She is ignoring Reese's phone calls.
Finch and Reese split up to investigate the two Hester addresses. The two apartments are dramatically different. Reese goes to a bar and sees that Hester is a man working as a bar back. Simultaneously a woman comes home the apartment he's been looking through. She is also Jordan Hester. It's two people living one life.
With no theft involved, Reese and Finch realize this isn't the typical identity theft case.
Reese asks Fusco to look into Jordan Hester's record, giving him photos of both people.
An FBI agent named Donnelly stops by to see Carter. He's asking about Reese and wants to meet with her to see what else she knows.
Reese looks into a third apartment connected to Hester. Inside he finds what seems to be a lab for making ecstasy. A man jumps out and Reese quickly knocks him unconscious. Finch thinks use of a fake name would be critical to making ecstasy.
Reese leaves behind a camera in the lab and we see the cook tell another man what happened. They reference a "boss" who they've never seen.
Finch interacts with the female Hester at a bookstore. He follows her out of the store and sees several large men following her. At the same time Reese sees that the male Hester is connected to the drugs, meaning the female Hester is caught up in a misunderstanding based on her name being on the lease of the apartment where drugs are being made. Finch helps get her away from the danger.
Reese sees the male Hester tells the cooks that they need to re-locate.
Fusco calls Reese to tell him that one of Hester's distributors was picked-up on a drug charge, but couldn't connect him to a boss.
Finch tells the female (real) Hester about the identity theft being connected to drugs. He tells her he's a private investigator, hired by another victim, and will get the police involved as soon as they have evidence.
Fusco meets with a detective named Franklin who handles identity theft. He tells him about the drugs, and Franklin tells him about a guy named Morrison who was arrested for making ecstasy but claimed he was innocent.
In the male Hester's van Reese finds a laptop. He sees how-to tips about using guns. At the same time the female Hester tells Finch she needs to leave, saying she's a buyer of antiques. Finch agrees to go home with her so she can pack a bag.
Male Hester and his guys start their cook.
Morrison tells Fusco his identity was stolen about a year ago. Fusco says he'll try to get him out of jail. Morrison's life was ruined, his wife and daughter want nothing to do with it.
All of a sudden the male Hester tells the cooks they need to clear out of the place, as the cops are on their way.
Female Hester is lingering in her apartment. She wants to share a drink with Finch.
Morrison recognizes the same kinds of charges from the Hester identity. When Fusco shows him a picture of female Hester, he says her name was Mary and she was a receptionist at his accountant's office.
When the cooks figure out the male Hester doesn't know what he's talking about, they pull guns. At this point both Reese and Fusco let Finch know that the female Hester is the crook. He looks at his glass, seemingly drugged.
Reese steps in to save male Hester. He knocks out the cooks, but Hester pulls a gun on him. Reese convinces him that he's on his side. Hester said he's hit bottom and felt he had no choice to be the bad guy. His plan was to use the supply to lure the real drug dealer out. Reese agrees to help him.
Finch has been given ecstasy. He starts blabbing and Mary realizes he's been talking to somebody. He admits that the person he was speaking to was in her lab. She makes a call, then puts a chemical mixture of some kind in the microwave. Reese sends Fusco to help Finch.
Donnelly shows Carter some of Reese's background. He says they think he left the agency and his now selling his services to the highest bidder. They think he's working in organized crime, specifically for Elias' syndicate. He mentions Snow, and she asks why the FBI is interested. Donnelly says the goal is both to put one over on the CIA and catch Reese. He offers the bureau's support and asks if there is anything else she's like to share. She declines.
Fusco get to the apartment and turns off the microwave.
Mary and her thugs arrive at the lab. She tells the men to "get rid of" Hester and Reese. After she leaves Reese quickly turns the table on the henchmen.
Fusco tells Finch he's going to help him track down Eckhart, the accountant Mary worked for.
Cut to Mary meeting with Eckhart. She is clearly strong-arming him into helping with her identity theft. Reese shows up and sits at the table. He's got Mary's police file. Franklin arrives and places her under arrest. Fusco tells Reese he thinks HR had a piece of Mary's operation.
We see Carter looking through Reese's file looking conflicted. Her phone rings but she doesn't answer.
Fusco is there to greet Morrison when he's released from prison.
