Episode Overview

Lupo and Green embark on their first official case together involving a kidnapping that occurs during a citywide blackout. A housekeeper is murdered, and a mother and her daughter go missing. The investigation reveals a connection to the victims’ father and husband. While examining the kidnappers’ lair, they discover evidence suggesting the criminals had prior knowledge of the blackout. Cutter faces the challenge of persuading the father to testify, as he had previously lied about the need for a search warrant to protect his daughter, risking the release of the kidnappers. The courtroom drama raises concerns about illegal searches and parallels to Enron-style energy manipulation.
