The synopsis for this episode detailed "The Task Force investigates an organization of bank robbers with special expertise in stealing from other criminals. Meanwhile, an old blacklist case resurfaces." This old blacklist is now in an alliance without the dreaded former FBI agent-turned-Blacklister. What more sinister could they possibly come up with?
