🕑 Added 2025-12-17 19:00:09 +0000 UTCThe death of a young botanist, Jeremy Reese, leads the team into the lucrative world of medical marijuana.
Jeremy was working with a secret lab researching marijuana cultivation. He removed some seeds from their facility since that was his work.
Jane determines Jeremy was murdered for the seeds and devises a plan by planting the information about a fake marijuana dealer named Olivier Ganz who Jeremy was going to sell his seeds to.
Rigsby poses as Ganz to see who will approach Ganz to try and sell the special marijuana seeds called Turbo Wolf. Both Francesca, Jeremy's colleague from the research lab and his mentor from a farm he was working on turn up to try and sell the seeds.
His mentor reveals he killed Jeremy to procure the seeds but is told that Francesca had already swapped the real seeds and Jeremy was killed for no reason.
During a counterfeit cash bust with the Rapid Response Task Force, Cho runs into a heavily pregnant Summer (Samaire Armstrong) who insists she was there with her friend, Chuck, and didn't know it was a shady deal.
She begs him to let her off since her baby's father and fiance has no idea about her past but Agent Tamsin Wade refuses to give in.
Cho arrests Chuck and brokers a deal with the D.A. Osvaldo Ardiles (David Norona) to let Summer go free leading to some tension between him and Wade.
