Synopsis

Portland

At Monroe's Home Monroe, who has revealed to Nick Burkhardt that Sean Renard is Juliette Silverton's new lover, is trying to convince Nick not to do anything rash when Nick's phone rings and he is called to investigate the murders of the four Hundjäger he and Monroe recently killed. At the scene, Nick pretends to be unaware of his involvement but drops hints all the while.

Elsewhere, Renard has discovered Nick's trailer and uses a Scharfblicke locksmith to enter. Inside, the key (later revealed to be in Nick's desk) is nowhere to be found. He is then given the same phone call as Nick about the murders, and leaves Nick's trailer as it was.

At Juliette's Home, Renard shows up to talk to Juliette, and they start making out. Later, Juliette relents and slaps Renard, who in turn tries to escape. Juliette then fires at Renard with his own gun, which he then grabs. Renard then leaves moments before a police car shows up with Wu. Nick and a few other officers show up later as well, and Nick tries to speak to Juliette about it. He says he knows who the other man is, and that he wants to deal with this.

Back at the precinct, an unidentifed officer tells Adalind that she has been released. As she leaves the precinct, she is stopped by Renard, who forces her to go with him. He asks her to "fix what's wrong with me", to which Adalind tells him that she can "fix his problem". She then takes off her shirt and starts kissing him. Renard then Woge and does the same.

The next morning, Wu has discovered surveillance footage of the hotel lobby, which he shows the other officers. They then see Monroe exit in a hurry, but only Nick knows who it is. To mislead Wu, he says that that guy probably had nothing to do with the murders, and they believe him.

In the meantime, Adalind had been living with Renard, who agreed to help her find Nick's Key.

Vienna

Adalind Schade stands in a bathroom with a home pregnancy test device in her hand. The result is positive. She smiles. It is also implied based on the earlier scene with Renard that the child is his.
