Coming Home - Recap

The episode starts out with Connor and his son spending their free time together. Then, two US soldiers appear and tell Connor there is a code yellow. Like always, Connor has to leave again and go to work. Four soldiers are having a lethal pulmonary disease that Powell claims its Gulf War syndrome. So are these soldiers having Gulf War syndrome?

Powell is very sure it's Gulf War syndrome because of his past history. Connor is suspicious, but doesn't believe it until the evidence presents itself. It gets even more suspicious when a mysterious woman appears, claiming she's from the Pentagon, and asking what the situation is with the soldiers. Her identity is exposed and the team thinks it is Gulf War syndrome that is affecting the sick soldiers.

However, it turns out the conclusion was wrong because several old people are also having the same problem and they never been to war. They aren't even related to the sick soldiers. They find one commonality, they are all catholic. Later, they find out they all attend the same church. Connor went to the church and start his "imagination" again, as to how they could have been affected. Connor calls in the team to test out the whole place. One suspicion could be the holy water, where everyone who enters the church touches it. But more people would have been affected if it's the holy water. They investigate the senior citizens house, where the old sick people once lived. They found out a guy from the church goes to the senior citizens house weekly. It turns out the soldiers and the old people came in contact with that guy. So Connor, McCabe and Powell head to his house to investigate and find out that he's been dead for days. He was the first one with the disease. It turns out it's from some mouse in his house. Connor did his part, now all he can do is hope that medication will cure the soldiers. But they didn't. Preparing to give the soldier’s family the bad news, Connor dresses up in an Army uniform and went to one of the soldier's house to give his family the uniform of the soldier and the American flag.
