- More is learned about Garcia while the team tries to find the persistent unsub threatening her.
- At the end of Garcia and Colby's date, Colby shoots her in the chest at close range outside of her apartment building. Before leaving the scene, Colby makes it look like a botched robbery attempt of her apartment. Garcia is rushed to hospital where the rest of the team wait in anticipation. Luckily, the bullet ricocheted in her body in such a way missing all the major vital organs. Hotch's stance is that the BAU will investigate - officially or unofficially as the situation may work itself out to be - and will not accept any other cases until this one is solved. Once Garcia regains consciousness, she is able to provide whatever information she can. However she feels that most of the factual information Colby provided about himself was probably false, and she's not trained to look for details in human behavior. Beyond Garcia's physical and emotional pain, Morgan feels the worst because of the argument he had with Garcia over Colby's possible intentions. To track him, the BAU will need the assistance of another computer analyst, Kevin Lynch, who is impressed by what Garcia has done within the confines of the agency's computer system. But an encrypted file on her computer raises some red flags within the Bureau. This leads to both the Bureau and the team learning more about the once "underground" Garcia. But Garcia eventually volunteers some information about her time away from the office which may be the key to finding Colby. Meanwhile, Colby knows that Garcia is still alive and works toward doing the job right the second time around.—Huggo
- After being shot by her date, Garcia is hospitalized. She is alive because her would-be killer did not bother to check for her vital signs before fleeing. When she recovers enough to provide a testimony, her teammates realize that the killer used a false name and told her a false life story about himself. But Garcia remembers enough details about his conversation topics, his dress style, and his car for the team to profile him. The FBI discovers that Garcia takes part in a grief support group in her free time, and that she had recently accessed crime case files which concerned her acquaintances from that group. Her teammates realize that the killer was connected to these cases, and that he was probably a corrupt law enforcement agent who wanted to silence her. By the time they are able to identify him by name, they discover that he has already infiltrated their offices and has taken a hostage. The killer is killed due to his own over-confidence. He felt invincible, and did not realize that Jareau was about to attack him from behind. She kills him with a single shot to the head. Garcia learns that she has impressed another FBI tech with her computer skills, and he is romantically interested in her.—Dimos I
- As Garcia fights for her life in this conclusion of a two-part episode, the BAU's search for her attacker leads the unit to believe the assailant could be someone close to the investigation.
