- Following the assassination of Karl Wellig, while in the FBI's custody, Clarice and VICAP are investigated by Krendler's rival at the Bureau, SA Anthony Herman. When he recruits Ardelia to assist him, it causes friction between her and Clarice.
- Vicap's very existence is in danger now they failed to prevent suspected serial killer Karl Wellig being murdered in FBI custody during questioning. Paul Krendler surprises Clarice by claiming he genuinely tried to protect her now he's is ready to sacrifice his job by confessing evidence log tampering in an attempt to prevent the worst outcome as the official investigation is lead by his jealous, bureaucratic former Quantico classmate. While Clarice grasps at the last straw, calling markers to prove Wellig was manipulated but also that the bite-marks don't prove he didn't kill three or four women.—KGF Vissers
- Anthony Herman, an old rival of Krendler, is brought in to investigate Wellig's assassination. Herman attempts to play Clarice against Krendler. Herman offers to bring Clarice over to Violent Crimes. ViCAP is confined to the complaint lines. Herman is also playing Ardelia against Clarice. He assigns Ardelia to the ViCAP investigation. Ardelia is annoyed at Clarice for treating her like a roommate rather than a fellow agent. Clarice, Esquivel, and Tripathi sneak off to investigate the River Murders. Ardelia goes through the security tapes with Agent Haynes. Clarke covers for the other three with Herman's lieutenant Eddie. At the newspaper office, Tripathi discovers that reporter Rebecca was looking for Dr. Marilyn Felker, the lead physician of the clinical trials. Krendler jousts with Herman. Herman tells Krendler he's taking him down for the Wellig death. Felker's medical license was revoked five years ago. Felker's twin sister Luanne calls Clarice. Krendler changes the visitor logs to make it appear that he approved the fake lawyer and fake cop being in the building. Luanne is estranged from Marilyn and has little to offer. Krendler explains his history with Herman to Clarice. He also details why he has been so hard on her. Ardelia rejects the evidence that Clarice offers her off the books. The team finds convenient evidence implicating Felker hidden in her apartment. Herman dismisses Ardelia after she reports what she learned about Krendler changing the logs. Tripathi gets a call from Clarke telling them that ViCAP is being shut down and that Krendler is out. The coroner rules that Wellig died from a stroke, not from the drug in the root beer. Someone powerful changed the cause of death. Felker never left the country. Clarice and Ardelia make up. Clarice determines too late that Marilyn is pretending to be Luanne. Marilyn surprises Clarice with a sedative.
