Ah, we get too see a few slow-motion workout moves from Vasco at Deckard Street HQ. Some producer has made a conscious decision to show the sign more — a nod to the world of Blade Runner.

Riley comes downstairs to Jane pumping iron, arm curls, and the entire night he wasted at her whim — and then he says her hunch paid off. Connor was the leader of the Barrier Precinct Tactical Response Squad, and five of the 12 in the photo that Riley found have been killed. Joey Berlin was the security guard at Bassett's Department Store and he was part of the BPTRS. McBride says Connor is a risk and needs to stay away from the team for a while. There's loyalty for you.

Connor better be revealed as some amazing spook — or JFK's assassin, because the mystery the writers are building about his past is extraordinary.

Ah-ha, the tall guy in the episode "Catch Me If You Can" caught in the rain with Vasco is back and they seem to have been living together for awhile. By the way he's a reporter, the Lois Lane of this series clearly. Or he will be. That could be interesting. Vasco's got a secret, she isn't used to hiding them - though is used to hiding feelings - and he's going to smell the story.

This whole scene is kind of thrown in the mix of the show apropos of nothing, as is the fact that she finished a stack of crosswords in a couple of hours, in pen, while doing her laundry.

Connor remembers some letters that one of his old squad members wrote — and Vasco is asked to leave her cozy home environment to get them. Before she can get there, we see some guy with a mini-ice pick search through his Craftsman's tool cupboard and finds one of the Tactical Unit patches. She enters not very quietly and starts to disarm him but he's trained well and they get into it. He doesn't respect her as a woman and so she wins — well, almost.

Turns out William Hoyt Pearse is the guy, a member of the Tactical Response Squad. Riley runs aging software over all its members for Jane with an image they somehow got from somewhere.

Connor walks outside his place to be a draw for Pearse and out rumbles a nearby vehicle. Except, Connor gets out of the way and Pearse gets killed. Jane notices that it's the legs in most cases that seem to get whacked. With that, Harry Beaman is a name Connor comes up with and it turns out he's some bitter-ass in a wheelchair who blames Connor for sending him into a booby-trapped building looking for a perp.

Beaman looks 15 years younger than a picture from a decade ago. McBride notes that it was only after he was injured that he got his powers.
