The story

Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

The team's next case is that of Kelli Lin ( Elaine Tan ), a former silver medal-winning Olympic gymnast who is later revealed to be an antiquities thief long pursued by Interpol. Shaw investigates Kelli's house, learning that her next operation is to steal a Gutenberg Bible that is being shipped out that night. Shaw foils the plan but is confronted by Kelli, whose boss Cyril ( Gene Farber ) is an extortionist revealed to be forcing Kelli to commit robberies while her daughter is held captive. Finch takes Interpol agent Alain Bouchard (Henri Lubatti), the man in charge of the investigation against Kelli, to listen in on Kelli's conversation with Cyril so Bouchard can learn the truth.

Cyril refuses to free Kelli's daughter, but sees Reese take down the thugs guarding her on the surveillance feed. Shaw stops Cyril from killing Kelli and both Kelli and Cyril are apprehended. In an interrogation room at the NYPD, Bouchard places a key on a desk, allowing her to leave. The next day, Kelli and her daughter happily reunite. That night, the team celebrates their victory and Reese honors Carter by pouring a glass for their "missing member".
