Despite this, she informs her husband that she is going to save their son by moving forward with the mission. Once the President arrives at FBI HQ, he is told that what he heard was correct. His son killed a man. After he catches his breath, Dunn and Finley fill him in and share that they believe their man is Gibson,

At the mansion, Gibson is happy to see Jonas. Jonas asks what he wants from him. Gibson tells him he will save his life because they can work together to get Widener before he can get to Jonas. Then they will both win.

At FBI headquarters, things are getting heated as Dunn and Finley stay confident in their theory that Gibson is their man, but just as Dunn is told to calm down, the power goes out. The President is told that there has been a massive cyber-attack and everything connected to the Internet is down. When Dunn is unclear about what she heard about the attack, Finley confirms, the code she heard means that the President will have to shut down th country before someone shuts it down for us. As they get more information, they begin to piece together what happened, They find it is a Chinese virus that has caused this shutdown. Finley tells the President about the parent who has ties to China, believing this is part of a parent mission.

She relents but tells him that he better not tell anyone about their plans if he does get out. Jin’s mother fulfilled her mission, and now must leave as her safety is at risk. She had made a video for Jin explaining everything and why she did what she did…to save his life. Dunn and Finley visit Jin’s home. While Jin’s father won’t give out any information on his wife’s whereabouts, his mother tells them what she knows. Dunn and Finley head to the location where Jin’s mother is supposed to be. He cohort sneaks in, armed, and ends up getting shot after pointing his gun at Finley. Dunn and Finley plan to rush him to the hospital to ensure he doesn’t die as he may be their only source of information.

As they drive him to the hospital, Dunn gives Olsen an update. Olsen tells the President that they must ask China for help or they will not find Jin’s mother, the spy. Olsen calls Dunn and Finley with the woman’s location. They head to a Chinese Government safe house. They know they must find her before she runs.

When Gibson hears she didn’t fully execute. Gibson is angered and goes to get Jin, telling him his parents failed him. Jin cries as he realizes Gibson is responsible for the kidnappings. Gibson tells him he was forced to do this and pulls his gun out. As Jin begs for his life, Gibson is unfazed and shoots him. Ian sees Jin get shot through the hidden opening he found, but moves his head away before seeing Gibson as the shooter.

Olsen gives the President a positive update, telling him everything is being restored and things are getting back to normal. The President tells Abby that her husband is dead. She begs him to find her daughter. The President congratulates Dunn and Finley, tells Gabe he isn’t happy with him, and ends his talk with, “Find my son. Find all of them.”
