The pecking order is established while Zapata takes note.
Zapata actually tried to give Devon her own toothbrush, but that doesnt go so well.
Devon warns her to mind her own business in this place.
Why is Zapata not keeping her head down?
Why is she trying to get so close to Devon?
Is it survival, or is it something more?
Knowing that she wont talk if they bring her in, Jane offers to go undercover.
Weller shoots that down immediately because its likely shell be recognized, and thats when Zapata steps up.
This is the most substantial lead theyve had in some time.
Back at the FBI headquarters Patterson, Roman, and Jane are all going through some ethical conundrums.
Roman and Janes issue is that they still havent told Weller about Emma.
Romans been insistent about this since day one, but Janes always put it off.
As predicted, it doesnt go over well.
Just as Weller and Jane were growing closer again, Romans memory comes in to rip them apart again.
Its Parker, Shepherds pasty right-hand man whos basically running the show at this point.
So Zapata takes another huge risk and signs the team up for a jailbreak.
After the team makes all the plans, the jailbreak is underway.
That gives Zapata and Devon three minutes to get out and over the electrified fence.
They take their place in the getaway car and drive off.
At this point Devon trusts Zapata, but that doesnt mean shes not being cautious.
Devon used a code word knowing that Parker would understand and meet them at a warehouse in the Bronx.
On her own, shes of no use to him.
But as a bargaining piece to get Weller for Shepherd, shes certainly valuable.
Trust is integral to them staying alive in the field.
Despite the tension between them, Weller knows who Jane is.
As he says, youre the only one that I trust out there.
That affirmation is all they need to pull off the rescue.
And what a rescue it is!
Fine, I weigh as much as a fridge, she says as a thank you.
Will this be enough though?
But Zapata and Reade may not be Wellers only problem.
