The story

Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

The latest number is NYPD recruit Dani Silva ( Adria Arjona ). She is spying on her fellow recruits, though further analysis proves that Silva is not hunting them, but is instead already a cop from Internal Affairs, working undercover in the academy trying to expose a suspected mole. The mole is Silva's fellow recruit and friend, Alex Ortiz, who is acting on orders of the Brotherhood. Ortiz steals Silva's files from her handler and then murders him, framing Silva for the crime. Ortiz also steals files from the academy's commandant for Dominic.

The group retrieves Ortiz from a local drug cartel in Spanish Harlem and escapes while Dominic has the cartel leader executed. Ortiz's confession exonerates Silva and improves Reese's standing in front of Internal Affairs. Elsewhere, Samaritan has processed the retrieved security footage (from "Honor Among Thieves"), producing a somewhat blurry picture of a person (Shaw), but identifies Tomas instead. In response, Martine is sent to identify the person, who interrogates Katya, Tomas' last remaining associate; and tortures Romeo for information on Shaw. The two make eye contact at the department store where Shaw works and recognize each other as agents of the opposing AI.
