This episode titled 'Vicious Cycle' focuses on the death of an airport supervisor who happens to be the brother of detective Owen's former criminal informant. This of course brings up a lot of things from the past between Owen and detective Arroyo about that certain criminal informant- Rochelle.
The shows starts with detective Clark adjusting to his hangover from all the drinking the night before. His sister Agnes (Stella Maeve) fills him in on the things he said and did that night- including what he said to detective McKenzie about how she was to good for Arroyo. Clark realize this is not a good thing, as he was not suppose to say anything to McKenzie about how he knew that Arroyo and her were together. This was an agreement he made with Arroyo and Arroyo wouldn't do anything with the audio tape he had of Clark giving Natasha money from evidence.
After that the show gets into the crime solving aspect, we see Owen take over the case from Arroyo and he tells everyone to back off basically. We learn that April- Rochelle's sister, isn't a fan of Owen, that she doesn't trust him anymore. At this point we start to learn little pieces of the puzzle between Arroyo and Owen. Owen informs us that he made mistake too.
Owen spends most of this episode really annoying his coworkers and the viewers. He pushes others and wants to be the lead on everything no matter who he upsets.
We also meet Nora- Clark and Agnes' mother. She is just coming out of rehab and wants to be in her children's life again. Clark isn't sure about this but after some advise from his partner he decides to give his mother a chance.
Later in the episode when the team gets a break in the case, they had for a hotel trying to catch the suspect- who happens to be April's boyfriend, Dominic. This is where we learn more from Arroyo about Owen. Arroyo sits on this break for an hour because he wanted to give Owen first dibs. That hour could have helped them get the suspect and hour earlier, instead he is in the wind. Arroyo informs us all, including McKenzie and Clark that Owen was sleeping with Rochelle. Owen spends some time explaining the situation to Clark. Clark lets him know that "we all make mistakes and the his respect for him (Owen) is concrete." Owen also comes clean with Rochelle's sister April about his relationship with Rochelle.
With Clark's help, Owen gets April to tell him where Dominic-her boyfriend, the suspect is. They set up a meeting and end up checking him. After the interrogation, Dominic realize he has been caught because the evidence is to high against him.
Towards the end of the episode, Arroyo tries to get alone time with McKenzie to apologize for the previous night and she turns him down and lets him know "not tonight." Clark tells Agnes the truth about their mother and she isn't very happy about it. Clark lets her know if she wants a meeting their mother he will set it up. Agnes wants the meeting. They meet and embrace in a hug- Nora tells Clark "thank you."
The episode ends with a flash forward to Commissioner Clark in a meeting with an advocacy group, Urban Healing Council- that April is now the speaker of.
I'm loving how the pieces of Arroyo and Owen's past partnership is coming out. It is really filling in the gaps of this heated rivalry between them. Also is something going to happen between McKenzie and Clark? Is that part of the downward spiral that Arroyo seems to have or that is alluded to in the first episode flash forward.
