Barnes takes over negotiating when Danny needs to speak to another person and convinces her to let a hostage go in trade for pizzas, to construct belief. However they’re not getting anyplace with the VA on getting Carver’s incapacity score modified: There’s no document of his paperwork, the committee refuses to satisfy as a result of they don’t negotiate with terrorists, and even Isobel isn’t getting anyplace. S.W.A.T. then breaches — Hana tries to warn them of IEDs on the stairwell door however is just too late. The hostages are then moved right into a bodily remedy room, and Hana tells Ethan to speak to Danny since they’ve loads in widespread.
Ethan remarks that he thought he was the one one who bought bizarre about being thanked for his service, as she did when the janitor Danny let go earlier once they bought the pizzas did simply that. Danny shares that Carver was harm saving her after her truck rolled over an IED. She blames herself for him being in a wheelchair, however Ethan argues that if their roles have been reversed, would she need Carver blaming himself?
Hana’s in a position to alert the staff to their location utilizing a quantity on an outlet, whereas Carver takes Ethan to the restroom when he’s vomiting from the withdrawal. There, Carver affords him his oxy, however Ethan turns him down. “I made a promise,” he insists. However then Danny and Carver see the information reporting that one of many hostages is an FBI agent.

Danny then video calls Barnes and warns her that she has half-hour to get Carver’s score raised or she’ll shoot Hana. SWAT and snipers then transfer into place. Carver argues he didn’t drag Danny out of the truck for this, however she insists they owe him and it’s all for him. He doesn’t assume it’s about him however somewhat that she wants it.
Danny geese down to choose up the lid of a tobacco can on the precise second the snipers hearth, and so solely Carver is killed. She strikes the hostages to the chapel, and Ethan insists Hana give him the cellphone, nervous what would occur if Danny finds it on her. He tries to textual content the staff to alert them of their location, however his palms are too shaky from withdrawal. And so when Danny goals her gun at Hana, Ethan calls Barnes to inform her the place they’re and that there are not any bombs — and tells Danny he is the agent and Hana was masking for him. “There’s no extra cleansing up my messes,” he says.

This isn’t the everyday Most Needed episode, nevertheless it is likely one of the strongest. We see the staff doing what they do greatest, even cut up up and never chasing a fugitive on the run. And the one hundredth episode places the 2 forged members nonetheless round from the very starting of the sequence — Fort-Hughes and Sternberg — on the heart of the story. Placing Hana and Ethan on the heart of the battle and hazard permits for the stakes to be excessive each for the staff exterior and for Hana. It seems like an actual chance that Ethan may very well be killed — can’t you think about Hana unable to do something and crying as a gunshot rings out? — and what particularly works is that their relationship doesn’t really feel immediately fastened on the finish. The identical issues nonetheless exist, nevertheless it does really feel like they’ve an opportunity at a future collectively.
