Don and his team investigate a rash of deadly restaurant robberies. During the investigation, the FBI discovers that the thieves steal the restaurant customer's credit cards so that they can run up charges at a fake Internet store and then route the money to offshore accounts. Charlie tries to pinpoint where the money is being laundered to prevent more restaurants from being hit. Meanwhile, in the wake of the Crystal Hoyle shooting, the FBI forces Don to talk to William Bradford, an occupational psychologist and FBI consultant whose specialty is trauma recovery.

Back on the CalSci campus, Dr. Finch attempts to twist Charlie's arm into particpating in a lucrative grant project sponsored by a pharmaceutical company despite Amita's reservations concerning the company's business practices in the third world.
