Still hospitalized in Mexico, Bao is warned by her nurse that she is not safe there anymore, and FBI agents have arrived. Bao discovers that her gun is no longer in her possession just as Agent Robert O’Rourke enters her room.
O’Rourke informs Bao that she and Joe have been charged with the deaths of three citizens after the recent shootout. Joe is being held in jail awaiting charges, while Bao is being taken back to San Francisco. Bao becomes distraught, fearing that the Diablo cartel will murder Joe in his cell.
Lindsay visits Claire, admitting her anxiety about Joe’s situation. Claire shows her the body of the latest victim, Caroline Ford, who was strangled, and she tells Lindsay that Caroline was pregnant. The killer’s signature phrase is written on her forearm in lipstick. Lindsay decides to send the fork she got from Brett Palmer to the DNA lab for comparison to samples from Caroline’s body.
