The case this week involves an armored vehicle being hijacked, leaving three men dead.

Over 40 cannisters of it was stolen, so the team needs to act quickly.

Knowing something criminal is probably happening, the team searches the field and finds a sewer tunnel leading underground.

They find the general, who is housing massive amounts of stolen chemical weapons.

Quite honestly, the case in this episode was the most irrelevant so far in the series.

With so much of Taylors background being unveiled in recent episodes, this case seemed forced.

She eventually agrees, and while shes at the restaurant, she solves his last newspaper crossword puzzle.

NEXT: Weller puts his usually brooding aside and gets serious with Ali.

Weller spent the episode in lust with Ali, who is a refreshing complement to his character.

She calls him out on his BS, and he doesnt argue with it.

She doesnt want him to distance himself from her for fear of commitment.

While this is probably true, its not the only factor thats giving her bad vibes.

In the episode, Jane has flashbacks of herself and Oscar visiting Taylors grave on her birthday.

When Taylors mom died, Weller bought the necklace.

She had purchased it after Taylor was born, and it held that significance.

Jane is taken aback, saying that Weller is happy and she doesnt want to jeopardize that.

Apparently, its essential to the mission that Weller trust her more than anyone.

He lets his emotions get the better of him and grabs her and kisses her.

She is surprised, but she doesnt fight it.

She kisses him back, and they throw themselves on the bed.

Can we blame Oscar?

From the limited flashbacks weve seen, they were clearly in love (they were engaged!

So what about Reade and Zapata?

Is the agent thats been blackmailing her for her involvement with Carter driving her to her darkest place?
