In this episode--the best in series--the FBI make use of illegal tactics as they investigate the past of Oduwale. Those tactics include entering the doctor's office without a warrant, plus holding him hostage and torturing him in his home. Wow! What if he is innocent? This episode definitively answers that question.
In one of the subplots, Alice lets Dr. Jack down hard after he purchased a gift for her. She rejects the beautiful birthstone, and she cruelly rejects him. This takes place in the inappropriately named venue of Mercy Hospital. Alice shows no mercy to Jack.
The two-pronged approach of Em and Cal's investigation into Wolfe and the six victims of fentanyl poisoning converges with the search for the truth about Emily's six years in captivity. The secrets lie in the Building 60 project at Saugus University. It was there that Dr. Oduwale appears to have conducted experiments to train resilient, vicious killers like Wolfe.
During the interviews with Emily and subsequently Julianne and Cal, Dr. Oduwale claims that he was only involved in "talks over ping-pong tables." But Em is suspicious of a picture on his office wall that seems familiar. Dr. Oduwale had worked with soldiers at Fort Devens in Massachusetts. Coincidentally, Wolfe had been stationed there and was treated by Dr. Oduwale.
The thesis explored by the FBI is that Dr. Oduwale was the mad experimenter behind the killings and the gas attack of Tyler Brandon Mills. The doctor was using Wolfe to clean up the messes, including the daring infiltration of the FBI that resulted in Mills' death.
Nick learns from Mrs. Mills that Dr. Oduwale had administered experimental psycotropic drugs to her son. For the mother, Tyler's mind began to "work like lightning." The kid was being turned into a killer.
The most suspenseful part of the episode begins with Dr. Oduwale deftly parrying the questions of Cal and Julianne. Em asks Cal to slow-walk the questioning so that she may prepare for Dr. Oduwale's return home. Donning a gas mask the using tear gas, Em forces the confession out of the doctor. The donor patients were the work of Laurie Colson, but the project failed to produce results except for Rex Wolfe, who became the model killer.
But how was Wolfe programmed? Dr. Oduwale reveals that the blood connected to the serum came from Em herself, who was the great success story of the doctor. Dr. Oduwale hints that some of the serum has been used on little Flynn, which would explain his violent outburst when he hauled off and slugged a kid during group therapy.
It now seems like the mystery of Em's past has been resolved. And then: boom! A car explodes outside, and the FBI agents leave the room. At that point, Dr. Oduwale is shot! Another key operative is clearly involved in the secret programming operation. The possible suspects may lie within the FBI: Crown? Julianne?
