What is going on in Episode 13

The episode is titled "Your People Are in Danger," and the title is not subtle. After the team was rocked by another sudden death last week - and then uncovered a big, unsettling reveal about their prime suspect - the task force finally moves in for an arrest. Naturally, it does not go clean: the operation turns messy fast when one of their own ends up in serious danger.

Catch-up on the premise

This show started with a broad-daylight murder and spiraled into an all-agency nightmare. An LAPD detective gets pulled into a secret task force with undercover operatives from across law enforcement to find out who killed a Department of Homeland Security officer - and discovers the murder is just the first breadcrumb in a much bigger conspiracy.

"When an officer with the Department of Homeland Security is murdered in broad daylight, LAPD detective Mark Meachum is recruited to a secret task force, alongside undercover agents from all branches of law enforcement, to investigate. But the hunt for the killer soon uncovers a plot far more sinister than anyone could have imagined, kicking off a race against time to save a city of millions."
