The team is on the edge when it comes to working together as each member deals with their feelings for one another and to stopping a cartel from blowing up something big.
Jane relives another memory that has had her with a army team trying to stop someone, but when they get there a woman comes out, her team goes in and the place blows up. Jane tries to escape with the woman in the helicopter but that too explodes, leaving Jane to die there.
Jane tells Nas and Weller about it as she was with Roman and Sheppard. She learns that Orion was the name of the rescue mission sort to say and that the government gave a small memorial stone for their remembrance. But also that Sheppard wanted her to solve another tattoo this one with a cathedral looking building with bullets for open windows.
Patterson and Zapata looked it up and found that the place has been apart of the Mexican drug cartel where DEA agents got killed and also that DEA agents have been taken evidence and exchange them for much more profitable like major drug cartels, etc.
They find one DEA agent that has been doing these things, Valentine. When they went to pick her up, the team still doesn't think that Jane should be on the field with them, but they got to keep their head down and move on. When seeing men with tats in suits, they figure they're after Valentine an rescue her and bring her in. When they bring her in they pushed the questions of why she was there and who could be setting her up.
She finds out from Nas that her boss and mentor was the one to order the hit on her, because she knew a little bit too much to know and that she was going to report what was happening. So she joins the team and tries to take her boss down, but with Weller, Jane, Zapata and Reade there Valentine stayed put outside until she spotted him and tries to take him but failed by getting shot.
After this point the team really breaks into a couple of minutes to vent, which I feel they really need. I do agree from Zapata that it felt like being yelled by the principal. But the team came together and after sharing feelings to one of the members it looks like they got their focus.
Weller still has hard feeling about his dad, who killed Taylor. Jane still upset about the team given her to the CIA, Zapata and Reade doesn't want to work with Jane, and Patterson and Nas butt heads because Nas has some really cool toys that she doesn't have, which I think she should.
Finally, Patterson finds out where the truck with the weapons went as it was heading to the East Side of the city. But not to mention that five cartel members entered the US that day and look to be in gun exchange. So the team heads off and later figures that the cartel wasn't going to blow up the East side but blow up a plane that has someone very important people.
Weller and Jane takes down the guys handling the missile's projection while Reade and Zapata take down the guys with rocket launchers. After a nice couple of fights, one getting slammed on his back from Jane and Weller tackling another, Jane saves and projects the missile from the plane to the East river.
The team feels happy of the events that they prevented from happening. Zapata and Jane seems to be working slowing of trust. In the middle of the episode, we saw Dr. Borden asking out Patterson for dinner after given her a disk for The Oregon Trial computer game (AWESOME!!!!). Reade, who's been trying to get Coach Johnson case moving, rethinks of why he didn't remember anything when he was with the coach.
And the cherry on the cake or should I saw two cherries on the cupcake, Weller finally gets ride of his dad's stuff and as he walks in Allie comes in, she has some news...she's three months pregnant. Holy crap!! Also as Jane was looking at the memorial, she gets drugged by her crazy-ass brother, Roman.
This was a very good well paced, well action episode. I loved how the team struggles with their feelings about Jane and other things that has messed up the team during this episode. But Weller, a leader, takes control and get them on the right track. I still mixed about Nas even when she was lying to Jane about listening to case files as she was listening to her conversation with Borden. Speaking of Borden, I was wondering when Patterson and Borden are going to be a couple or have a relationship.
Overall, I give this episode an 8.5/10.
You can catch Blindspot Wednesdays at 8/7c on NBC.
