Recap

After the explosion, the Major Crimes unit goes over what happened. They question Lisbeth and her sister, who don't give them much information about Ortiz's whereabouts. The manhunt is on for Ortiz, who is now believed to be behind all the bombings.

Flynn asks Provenza when he can return to the field but Provenza says his health problems make him a risk and he'd better hope Sharon becomes the Assistant Chief.

Gus and Rusty have another argument and Gus tells Rusty he'd better go to law school in L.A.

The investigation into the bombings continues. The team realizes that they need to talk to the convict again and try to cut a deal with him so that he will tell them about Ortiz. Wilks is reluctant to talk in exchange for his sentence being cut in half but eventually is persuaded to do so. He tells them that Ortiz believed he was railroaded by the system and wants revenge on the LAPD.

Major Crimes Season 5 Episode 21 Quotes

Flynn: I've been doing some thinking.
Provenza: Are you in pain?
Flynn: No, I - oh. Very funny. No, I've been thinking that my health's improving. I'm eating better, I'm taking vitamins, all that. So how long before I'm back in the field?

Sharon: Do you know anyplace your ex-husband might have gone?
Lisbeth: I don't know. Most of our marriage, he was overseas.
Sister: Wait, you say Christian killed these people. Isn't it your job to know where he is? It's not Lisette's job to find him. It's yours.
Andy: That's what we're trying to do.
