Hank (Donal Logue) and Laura (Alison Elliott) are investigating Zeitlin (Michael Gaston), who is the link between two major land buyers — the Montague Group purchasing land on Ocean Beach’s waterfront, including the property made to look contaminated, and a group called Terra Nuestra purchasing dilapidated properties in Ocean Beach’s center via eminent domain.
Hank and Laura meet with Jason, who tells them that his mixed-use eco-development project is under heavy pressure to be completed on time, while he feels watched by Zeitlin’s right-hand man Burke.
After noting that he was asked to set up anenometers around the property and a blueprint indicating it is part of a larger map, the three find plans for the Ocean Beach land holdings to be razed to make way for a massive airport.
Meanwhile, Katie (Laura Allen) tends to Gavin (Zack Silva), who tells her that Britt is responsible and facing prison time.
Hank consoles a devastated Gretchen (Kimberly Quinn) just notified of Jason's death and promises to learn the truth.
Club gave the episode an "A" grade and wrote, "That's the kind of touch to character and plot that I look for from Terriers — ironic in an old-school way, not a bludgeoning, symbolic one.
