I might post some more on this later 

Gabe and Captain confront Tess and Cat for aiding and abetting Vincent. Gabe asks the captain to suspend them, which he does. Cat gets so pissed she yells at them and implies Gabe is just doing it out of jealousy and not to “protect the public” as he claims. The look of disdain and disgust on Cat’s face, when she saw Gabe, made me glad. When the gals were told to turn in the guns and shields I felt bad for Tess. Gabe has gone to the point of having Cat and Tess suspended. But that’s just the beginning of the awful things he wil do  in this episode which show the unraveling of the beast that Gabe carries within.😈

Any hope that Gabe would be easily discredited has vanished. Instead of letting being exposed as a potential murderer be a hindrance, Gabe is using it to his full advantage. He has decided to play the victim card. And now that the only witness tying him to the crime has vanished, at Gabe’s own hands, there’s nothing but circumstantial evidence standing between him and glistening freedom. Gabe tells Captain Ward that Vincent killed Watson and is trying to pin it on him to divert attention from his manhunt. Tess points out that Gabe’s theory doesn’t make any sense. So Gabe says “she is just defending Vincent because he is her BFF’s boyfriend!” He says he has no reason whatsoever to go after the witness and knows nothing about his disappearance. Tess reminds the Captain that Gabe was picked from the lineup. Gabe maintains his innocence and puts Tess and the Captain to the test by challenging to prove their case and with no body to prove a crime, the captain has little option but to set Gabe free. So, Captain lets Gabe leaves.......

Tess is normally on her guard, but as she helps Catherine escape her tail, she briefly loses her awareness and blurts out, “Tell Vincent I said hello.” She doesn’t realize Captain Ward is walking behind her.

Gabe is taking over the precinct… What's new? He has set up a task force (again) that casts a city wide net in order to accomplish a  manhunt which goal is Vincent. He will coordinate the operation... from Captain Ward's office. I almost felt sorry for the poor Police Chief. He looked so dumbfounded by what was going on, that it was comical. Gabe wants  everybody not working pressing cases but  to find Vincent. He notices Cat hasn't showed up for work and says he will look for her. Gabe is self-righteous and more than ever he is convinced that he is doing the right thing for Cat. He may have persuaded himself he is doing this for justice, but in his obsession, he is becoming more and more dangerous.

The captain informs Gabe that Tom Sheckman has been found dead, and Gabe realizes that he may be in trouble. He politely offers to help any way possible, but the captain confesses that the only way he can help is to step into the lineup they have planned for him. How cool was Captain Ward when he asked Gabe to volunteer for the line-up? He actually seemed pleased and satisfied of having the chance to put his hands on Gabe!! Maybe Captain Ward is a "Beastie" and doesn't like Gabe more than we do!! No offence Sendhil! You go captain!

Catherine is walking through the precinct and all eyes are on her like she is harboring a criminal (🤨).Captain Ward calls her into his office.
