You know the ones.
What looks like ironclad evidence quickly evaporates when Loewes lawyer shows up.
She says that her client has been the focus of cyber attacks for months now.

Good hacks means taking down corrupt politicians and giving money back to people exploited by them.
Surely that cant be good.
The good intentions are there, but what they did was still illegal.
Hirst orders her to be brought in, and requests that Rich and Patterson do the questioning with her.
The walls are closing in.
It involves more shady business, so she pulls Rich aside and tries to formulate a plan with him.
Basically, the code for her app allows her backdoor access to every single user who downloads it.
Thats a huge invasion of privacy, but Patterson says hes never used it…until now.
But how do they tell the team this information?
Patterson cant exactly admit to the illegal backdoor access to 75 million phones.
Nothing gets him going (I know, Im sorry) more than Jane showing off her firearm skills.
While the operation stopped a bomb from going off, the FBI is at a dead end.
Hirst still calls it a win though, reminding the team that they saved a lot of lives.
In that moment of triumph, Rich and Patterson are allowed to relax.
It would seem that the search for the Three Blind Mice is over.
If theres a weak link in this episode, its Kathy.
Its all just too exaggerated and too predictable.
With that said, Upside Down Craft pulls it all together at the end.
The episode doesnt end with that call though, but instead circles back to Stuarts murder.
But what could that possibly mean?
What could that have to do with his death?
All we know is that hes missing an ear, like Van Gogh.
A curious case indeed, and one well have to stew on for at least another week.
