- Reese rejoins Finch and Shaw for a case involving a Olympic gymnast turned event planner.
- Upon Reese's return from Italy to rejoin the team, Finch receives their next number, that belonging to Kelli Lin. Born in Shanghai but raised in various places abroad, she became a naturalized US citizen six months ago. Reese's first instinct is that she is a spy, although her on-the-surface work is as an upscale events planner. The current event that she is planning is at a new exhibit opening at the Metropolitan Museum of History, that black tie event which Finch, Reese and Shaw plan to attend. During that event, which is being protested against by people who believe the artifacts being shown belong to the cultures where they were created, an incident occurs resulting in a Cezanne painting being stolen. After tracking the movements of the thief, Finch, Reese, Shaw and eventually Fusco change their goal of capturing the thief to trying to save a little girl, the two which may be incompatible. Saving the little girl may be made all the more difficult as the thief is being tracked by an Interpol agent named Alain Bouchard, who will stop at nothing to get who he wants.—Huggo
- The Machine delivers the number of the events planner Kelli Lin, who naturalized US citizen six months ago. Reese believes she might be a spy, and together with Finch and Shaw, they attend the black-tie new exhibit opening at the Metropolitan Museum of History. Soon there is a heist of a valuable Cezanne painting and Shaw chases the thief, who surprisingly is Kelli. The Interpol agent Alain Bouchard is chasing Kelli along many countries for other robberies and says that she is dangerous and has killed several people. Finch is able to track Kelli down in a bar, where she meets a man named Cyril. Finch learns that her real name is Jiao, a former Olympics medalist when she was a teenager. She gives the stolen painting to him, and Finch, Reese and Shaw learn that Lin's daughter Kai was abducted by Cyril's gang and is forcing Lin to rob for them. Further, the murders ere committed by Cyril and Lin is not aware of that. But how to retrieve Kai Lin from Cyril's gang?—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Open with footage of someone stealing items from a museum.
Reese has returned to the team. Finch tells both he and Shaw they have a new number, Kelly Lin. They think she may be a spy, though she's working as a professional event planner. Her latest job is a huge event at the Met. Finch has gotten Shaw on the list and will be bringing Reese as his guest.
Shaw runs into Lin at the event and makes some small-talk.
Somebody sets off dry ice smoke bombs which forces the crowd to scatter. A person in ninja garb grabs a priceless codex and heads out. Shaw chases the person down and the two fight. Hall pulls off the mask and we see it is Lin, who is able to run off.
Shaw is able to talk her way back into the gallery to "get her bag." She takes Lin's bag, which contains her computer. An Interpol agent named Bouchard tells the police he's been following Lin for years. He says she's extremely dangerous.
Finch looks at the GPS on Lin's tablet and finds a bar she's recently been to.
At the bar we see Lin give a man named Cyril the stolen item. Cyril tells Lin she's not done yet. Her last job "is a masterpiece." He adds that she has plenty to lose.
Finch looks up the name Jiao, which is what Bouchard used to describe Lin. She was an Olympic medalist in gymnastics who for some reason turned to crime.
Inside Lin's apartment Shaw finds a location marked on a map. She also finds info on the Gutenberg Bible, which is one day from leaving New York for a world tour.
Shaw finds Lin at the location and the two of them point guns at each other. Shaw prevented Lin from disabling a passing car. Lin tells her "now it's too late." The phone rings and Lin tells Cyril she didn't get the Bible. He says his associates don't take kindly to people who don't pay their debts and sends her live video of Lin's daughter.
Finch and Shaw sit down with Lin, who tells them her pregnancy ended her career. She had to steal to feed her newborn and ended up getting caught by criminals who forced her to keep working to pay her debt. She thinks Cyril is responsible for the deaths the Bouchard is attributing to her. She gives Finch the named of the security facility, Symmetric, where the Bible is now being held. Finch thinks they need to help her grab it.
Finch, Shaw, Reese and Lin analyze Symmetric's building where the Bible is being held.
Fusco calls Bouchard and tells them he has a lead on Lin, giving him an apartment to sit on.
Fusco grabs some prints from one of the Symmetric guards.
Finch finds that Cyril is part of an organized extortion ring.
Bouchard approaches Lin and promises her that he'll be right behind her, regardless of her next move. He then calls someone at Symmetric and tells them to heighten security around the Bible. They move it to a central location, which is exactly what Finch was hoping Symmetric would do.
Reese meet with someone from Symmetric, pretending to need a classified piece of nuclear technology protected. This allows him to get into the building, where he knocks out the man in the elevator. Reese gets caught, which opens a short window while Symmetric's security is being rebooted. Lin is able to use her gymnastics background to avoid floor sensors and get into the area housing the Bible. She and Shaw grab it and escape, just before Bouchard and Symmetric security personnel arrive.
Shaw grabs Bouchard and throws him in a car with Finch. Finch tells him what they've done with the Bible.
Lin gives Cyril the Bible, telling him "I'm out" and asks for her daughter. Bouchard and Finch are listening from the car on the street as Cyril tells her she's not finished yet. As Cyril looks at the video he sees his men beaten and Lin's daughter set free. It is Reese. Cyril pulls a gun but Shaw shoots him down before he can hurt Lin. Fusco and his men rush in to make the arrest.
Bouchard meets with Lin in her holding facility. He wants to extradite her to Europe, but since she recovered the Bible and took down Cyril's ring he's not going to do anything. He leaves behind a key to her cuffs.
Lin and her daughter are reunited.
