Ambition in the Blood
A man who committed 40 murders in Asia in the 1970s escapes from a Calcutta prison and heads for New York. Meanwhile, Sam's suspected of a murder herself, and Bailey's near death after being shot by his daughter.
Primal Scream
A vicious killer, who works only in the rain, beats his victims severely, then picks up their bodies and hurls them. Meanwhile, Jack plays Henry Higgins to a parolee.
It Cuts Both Ways
Jack's back, but with changes to his MO; Bailey's new boss is the ex-husband of a woman he's been seeing; George receives an offer he'll have a hard time refusing.
Second Best
Coop reenters Sam's life when the VCTF requests his services in tracking a bomber; Frances has been caught and the DA is throwing the book at her.
Power Corrupts
Cleanliness isn't next to godliness: one murder victim is found with soap in his mouth and another has been "scrubbed to death."
Old Acquaintance
Jill kills a boutique clerk to please Jack, while Sam, who's grieving over Coop's murder, is persuaded to go to a college reunion---where a classmate is murdered.
Jack Be Nimble, Jack Be Quick
The VCTF corners Jack, but he escapes---despite being shot by Sam. Meanwhile, Frances turns 18.
Victims of Victims
While the VCTF puzzles over a string of North Carolina murders, Jack recuperates at the home of his mother and Sam's in-laws visit her.
Birthright
Two men---one in Ohio, the other in New Jersey---are murdered on their 32nd birthdays. Both were killed by a stalker who had been following them their whole lives. Elsewhere, Sam has a run-in with her mother-in-law.
Dying to Live
A mercy killer (of sorts) is harvesting organs for transplantation purposes---then killing the "donors." Meanwhile, Bailey learns from Behar that he's the target of a probe; and Chloe tells Sam that someone has been taking pictures of her in school.
Ties That Bind
While the VCTF is preoccupied with break-ins in which the occupants were murdered, Sam's mother-in-law proceeds with her effort to gain custody of Chloe; and Frances tells Bailey that she's been sleeping with John Grant.
Shoot to Kill
A sniper targets drivers stuck in traffic jams, and with each shooting positions himself farther away from his victim. He also leaves a "message": a replica of an ancient Greek urn. Meanwhile, John can't figure out why Handleman is out to get him.
Bloodlust
The bodies of three young men are discovered; all had been beaten and, it turns out, all had been desperate for money. Sam suspects that they were losers in staged fights to the death.
Every Five Minutes
While Sam and Bailey track a rapist on the Florida Panhandle, John and Marcus find a guy who can lead them to Sharon Lesher.
Breaking Point
A man who's certain that his son was unjustly convicted of murder kidnaps Angel and threatens to kill her unless the VCTF "proves" that his son is innocent.
Lethal Obsession
A kidnapper kills an Atlanta city councilman even though the ransom was paid. It seems he wants attention, not money---particularly from one TV reporter. Meanwhile, Jack begins his efforts to spring Jill from jail.
Cycle of Violence
A "new-age ax murderer" targets abusive people, hacks and burns them, and places crystals in their hands---the MO of an avenging comic-book heroine.
Die Beautiful
The VCTF is called in on a year-old murder case. The victim: an 18-year-old beauty-pageant veteran. The prime suspects: her parents. Meanwhile, Jack challenges the VCTF to "a game."
The Root of All Evil (1)
While Jack schemes to get to the imprisoned Jill, a hooded figure who's obsessed with corruption is setting off explosions around the country. Also: Sam has an unsatisfying meeting---her first in 10 years---with her father.
The Root of All Evil (2)
While the agents zero in on the hooded bomber, Sam has an unpleasant meeting with her father. Meanwhile, Jack wants to spring Jill.
