After Zepata walks in to Jones' house and sees his dead body with Reade standing next to it, she asks him what the hell happened and Reade claims he didn't do it as he was in the basement and heard a noise, only to come upstairs and find Jones. While Reade wants to call the cops, Zepata instead insists they have to leave given Reade's background with Jones and the circumstances he's now in, so they run to Zepata's car just as neighborhood watch pulls up in front of Jones' house. Before they drive away, Reade remembers he left the videotape with his name on it in the VCR but Zepata tells him it's too late to go back into the house and unfortunately, Reade didn't get a chance to watch the tape before he heard the killer upstairs. They go back to Reade's house and get rid of their clothes, and Zepata notices a knife missing from Reade's block, which Reade says broke and he never replaced. Zepata tells Reade that the way they can get the tape back in the closet is to go to Jones' house once it's officially a crime as FBI. Until then, they should just act normally and go in to work.
Back at the FBI, Patterson tells Nas, Jane, and Weller about what she learned after cracking the Black hole photo that contains emails from Douglas Winter. Before the team can take off to track down Winter in Bulgaria, Jane gets a text from Roman calling her in. At the Sandstorm compound, Jane gets a memory flash of her parents' and a coin that's all she and Roman have left of their parents. Roman explains the significance behind the coin, before moving aside a floorboard and handing Jane a puzzle box she gave to Roman before her memory wipe, and that Roman wasn't able to open. Jane's also unable to do so and before Roman leaves the room, he tells Jane that the mission tomorrow is to get the microchip that Jeffrey Kantor was supposed to get for them.
Meanwhile, Nas and Weller land in Bulgaria and quickly realize they're being followed. The man following them is CIA and named Keaton -- the new deputy director of the CIA in fact -- and is also in Bulgaria tracking down Winter. So now the FBI is competing with the CIA to get to Winter first and be the ones to bring him in. Nas and Weller get a room in the same hotel they suspect Winter's in due to the amount of security outside the hotel, right beneath the room they think Winter's in. Weller suspects the email Patterson decoded may have actually be intended for Mayfair, which would explain why the CIA want Winter as Carter must have been linked to this too.
After somewhat confirming Winter must be the man in the room, Nas and Weller go in and Winter tells them that the security outside aren't his and he's a prisoner of the Bulgarian government, and that he was framed since he never hacked the NSA or leaked any classified documents. The reason Winter ran was because he was framed for treason and needed a place that would give him amnesty. He trusted Mayfair, which is why he sent her the Black Hole file but didn't know who else he could trust since whoever framed him had to be high up in the government. One of his security guards comes in to get his food trays, so Nas and Weller hide in a closet unsuccessfully, so Weller knocks out the guard and they then climb back to their room using the balcony, where Weller tells Winter to get into a duffel bag so they can smuggle him out of the hotel and get him to the FBI safehouse nearby.
Roman and Jane show up to to the R&D lab where they have plans to steal the microchip, but the man they thought they were meeting (who had a peanut allergy) is out sick today and a woman is filling in for him, throwing a wrench in their plans to send the guy into anaphylactic shock so they could steal his access card and use it to get the microchip. Jane improvises, sending Roman out of the room to talk to the woman about sexual harassment, enabling her to knock the woman out and prevent Roman from taking more drastic measures.
As Nas and Weller get into the hotel elevator with Winter in a rolling duffel, Keaton spots them and rushes to meet the elevator in the lobby but Nas and Weller are able to get away in a taxi before he can reach them. Winter tells Nas and Weller at the safehouse about how he was framed and says he can prove it since he was recording himself on the guitar when two masked men broke into his home and told him that he could either stay in the country and be prosecuted for treason or head to a country without extradition to escape the punishment for what they were going to frame him for. Weller figures out that Winter actually had no idea who Mayfair was but Winter insists he's telling the truth about the recording. Weller confides in Nas about how Mayfair was always there for him and how he's now left with a of questions that he was hoping Winter might have some answers to and then Nas and Weller kiss. Okay, maybe Nas is the one who needs that talk about sexual harassment, Jane.
Patterson gets an alert from NYPD that Coach Jones is dead and tells Zepata and Reade, who volunteer to go check it out as the FBI had a previous investigation involving Jones, which perfectly plays into Zepata's plan to get back into Jones' house. They head to Jones' house where Zepata breaks off from Reade to head to the basement and put the tape back, but when she tries to take the tape out, it seems to be scratching and won't eject. She's finally able to get the tape out but doesn't have time to put it back in the closet before Reade and the NYPD detective in charge come downstairs, so she stuffs it in the back of her pants. Zepata then makes excuses for her and Reade to leave, giving the detective her card and instructing him to keep them posted before they go.
Back at Reade's, Zepata tells him how she still has the tape, and Reade tells her about the private security guard that knocked on his car window when he fell asleep outside Jones' house. Zepata then hunts down the guard and tells him that the guy he saw is undercover FBI and if he were to say anything about seeing Reade, it'd blow his cover, before going on to somewhat threaten the guy's pregnant girlfriend who has overstayed her visa. The guard catches Zepata's drift and says what she wants to hear, that he didn't write down Reade's license in his notebook (even though he did), and Zepata takes the notebook and leaves.
Borden and Patterson have a mini-spat while Patterson's trying to decode the modulated voices that Winter recorded and as she tells Borden that she's under a lot of stress, Patterson accidentally calls him David -- her boyfriend from last season who ended up getting killed. Awkward. Patterson apologizes to Borden and they kiss and make up. After he leaves, Patterson sits down in a chair in Borden's office, and looks up at the ceiling, where she notices what looks like a bug -- the electrical kind.
Jane and Roman are able to break into the vault where the chip is being held but have to wait 5 minutes for the vault to be opened using their decoder technology. Jane tries to learn more about Shepherd (not her real name) and Sandstorm but Roman stonewalls her before getting angry at Jane, saying he knows she thinks he's a sociopath but if he is, it's because Jane taught him how and when she left, Shepherd finished the job. Jane apologizes for taking away his sister and tells him that if she could go back, she'd do everything very differently. The alarm then goes off, and Roman and Jane see security converging on the CTV cameras, so they're out of time but the vault still isn't unlocked. Roman tells Jane to stay by the vault, get the chip when it unlocks, and then get out of here, and that he'll deal with the people coming after them.
As Nas and Weller get dressed after their dalliance, they are alerted that the safehouse has been breached, seemingly by the CIA. After trying to get them to stand down, the CIA team start shooting. Nas and Weller quickly return fire, taking out the team except Keaton, who shoots one of the last guys standing and claims they weren't CIA. Weller and Nas go to take Winter out of the safehouse when Keaton says he'll get Winter in the end and take him to an out-of-the-way spot where he can get the full "Jane Doe" treatment. After Keaton confirms he tortured Jane, Weller starts choking him before Nas is able to convince him to stop. Weller thanks Nas for stopping him from choking Keaton and they agree NOT to leave everything that happened in Bulgaria in Bulgaria, before Weller's phone rings. It's Patterson, calling to tell Weller that she found a bug in Borden's office and it's transmitting to a server in Zero Division, and she thinks Nas has been listening to them using the bug.
Once Jane is able to get the chip, she calls Patterson so the FBI can get access to the data before Sandstorm has it. Rather than killing the guards he comes across in the hallway, Roman attempts to simply subdue them, and as the chip data is slowly copied, Jane gets a memory flash of her and Roman in the orphanage and how Roman got the scar on his face when she was unable to protect him. Jane unplugs the chip, interrupting the copying, and runs to Roman's aid. After taking out a bunch of guards, she and Roman duck through a set of doors and Jane shoots the access card reader so the guards on the other side can't get through, only to have Roman tell her that that was their only way out. Oops! Luckily, they have some C4 with them but they only have one shot to blow a hole back into the hallway, and they're a little turned around. Jane tells Roman she trusts him and blows up the wall he thinks will lead back to the hallway, which is a good call as Roman was right. They're then able to escape out the front door alongside the lab employees who are being evacuated.
Back at Sandstorm, Jane is able to open the puzzle box, which contains a gum wrapper. Jane then recalls the memory of giving Roman the gum wrapper in place of the coin which the boys who gave Roman the scar on his face took, just until she could get the coin back for them. Roman is glad to see the wrapper again, and cries a few happy tears, as he thought the wrapper was lost in the orphanage, and says Jane must have gone back for it. Jane then tells Roman that she loves him and hugs him, calling him Ian (his original name). Jane's love for her brother will no doubt cause difficulties going forward.
Zepata shows up at Reade's, telling him she took care of the guard, but that she has Jones' autopsy report, which says he asphyxiated, choking to death on his own blood. So if Reade really heard a noise and went up to check it out, he would've seen the killer asphyxiating Jones, prompting Zepata to accuse Reade of lying but Reade maintains his innocence.
Jane returns to the FBI where Nas tells Jane that Patterson informed her Jane abandoned the mission and stopped the data on the chip from being uploaded. Jane tells her this was the only way for them to get out alive and for Jane to keep her cover so they could play the long game. Nas tells her that now Sandstorm has what they need and the FBI are in the dark but Jane asserts that she can turn Roman, that she broke him and is this close to being able to get him on her side. Patterson then comes in and informs the team that Winter is telling the truth and that she was able to authenticate the recording. She then plays it for the team, and Jane identifies Roman and Shepherd's voices as those who framed Winter. After playing it again, Weller tells the team that he knows Shepherd's voice, but he's not sure from where. To be continued...
So why has Sandstorm been watching Weller? Will Jane be able to turn Roman? And what will Weller do now that he knows Nas has been listening in on them? Maybe next week's episode will bring some answers!
Badass of the Week: Jane.
