This weeks case involved a Banksy like artist who is pulled into the tattoo business. The end game of which is to kill Jane. One of the members of Jane’s pre-tattoo group is targeting her. She runs away to keep the team safe and works with Oscar to track him down.

Jane’s “original” team has sure had some losses. Do you believe they are still operating as planned?
Roz: No, I don’t really think they’re operating as planned, especially with two losses today. But I think that’s part of what Jane wants to figure out.
Lisa: I don’t know, but I feel like they need to regroup and refocus. I just don’t know what their end game is.
Liz: I think their plan is going along as they wanted it to, but Kade was a loose cannon and has a personal vendetta which is complicating things. It’s clear, after this ep, that Jane’s presence in the FBI is critical to that plan

Kurt told Reade to break up with his sister, but I’m not sure that is what he had in mind. Do you see any future fallout happening with the guys?
Roz: YES! Also READE YOU ARE THE WORST! (Why did Rob Brown make me want to cry like I did over Finding Forrester all over again?) There’s gonna be some fallout, and given that Weller’s so grumpy and injured, it won’t be good.
Lisa: No, I think Kurt will see how much his sister really loved Reade and feel a little guilty for making such a stink. I hated that breakup scene because we know that’s not what Reade really wanted.
Liz: Maybe, but Reade broke up with Sarah because of a threat, not because of Kurt. With that in mind, I don’t really see a fallout. Unless it’s because Kurt finds out the real reason Reade broke things off with Sarah. Then he may be angry that Reade didn’t come to him to begin with.

Ultimately do you think Jane will be Team Weller or Team Oscar?
Roz: I want her to be Team Jane! But I think she’ll go with Weller in the end because she knows more about him than she does Oscar.
Lisa: Unless she gets her memories back 100%, she’s Team Weller. She has doubts about Oscar and his motives and she trusts Weller. I think she’s going to stick with Weller.
Liz: It’s hard to say because we still don’t know why Jane is there. We still don’t know what Oscar’s team is trying to do.

How long before Jane cracks and her new team finds out about her double life?
Roz: It’s gotta be soon because I feel like she’s burning at five ends rather than just two.
Lisa: Not long. I think it will come out in the next few episodes for sure. She wants to protect her team, but I think it will come to a point where she will need their help and tell them the truth. the more she sneaks around, the more suspicious she will be.
Liz: Also unknown. I think that if her new team finds out about her double life it will be the end of her ‘purpose’ with the FBI. She’ll have been compromised.
