Carter is on edge because he doesn’t know what to make of Simone’s story. He’s not sure if she is telling the truth or if she is trying to create a story to get closer to him.

Carter and his team are currently on the island to extradite a man named Barlow so he can testify and bring a corrupt tech company down. They meet with their local police inspector who doesn’t understand the meaning of covert operations much to Carter’s disappointment.

DJ called Simone and informed her that she had accidentally told her mother about their secret relationship. Simone was worried that her father would be angry with her and promised to call him first and tell him before DJ’s mom told him. If you remember, DJ’s mom and Simone’s dad are also dating. He thought it would be weird and uncomfortable to have their children date as well. Unfortunately, Simone forgot to make that call. ..

Elena purchases a purse from an online high-end shop and discovers diamonds inside. She approaches Garza who puts Laura and Brendon on the case to find out where the diamonds are from.

Once they are back in the States, Simone tries to convince Barlow to testify. She uses his daughter to get through to him and he agrees to testify and hand in evidence he had hidden.

Simone forgot to tell her dad about her relationship with DJ and he finds out from DJ’s mom. Cutty, Simone’s dad, is not against the idea and plans a double-date dinner. The dinner turned out better than they expected but a nosy friend of Cutty ruins the vibes with his homophobic remarks. ..

The next morning, Garza discovers that the prosecutor, Allen, is on the take. The pressing issue is that he is currently in an unknown location with Barlow to collect evidence he was hiding. Simone has a hunch that Barlow hid the evidence in his ex-wife’s garage. They head to the house and arrive in time to save Barlow from Allen who was planning to kill him. They arrest Allen but Carter is hurt by his betrayal, they had worked on the case together for years. Ouch!

When they arrive at Barlow’s ex-wife’s house, they find out that he had been hiding evidence there all along - and it’s now too late to prosecute him. Allen has been arrested, but Carter seems upset about what happened - their partnership may have come to an end after all these years of working together. ..

Brendon manages to get on Antoinette’s good side and she even leaves a wine bottle from her family’s vineyard on his table.

The Episode Review

Elena and Garza have great chemistry and have a good uncle/niece relationship. ..

I’m not sure how this whole dating situation will work out, but I hope we see more of DJ. They make such a cute couple. I loved that Cutty has Simone’s back and though he doesn’t fully understand her sexuality, he supports her. ..

Brendon has been single for a while now and I hope that he will find love soon. I am not sure if there is a rule forbidding co-workers from dating, but it would be interesting to see him paired up with someone new. ..
