While attempting to get the truth out of Matty (Kathy Bates), who she sequesters in an unused room in the office, Olympia (Skye P. Marshall) must also deal with a very pregnant client in desperate need of immediate legal help to get away from her controlling husband before the birth of her child.

The medical emergencies are mostly minor early on during Spring Break Week as Max (Joshua Jackson) spends most of his time deflecting the attention of three persistent young women (Paris Jackson, Ava Phillippe, and Charlotte Lawrence), although that eventually takes a dark turn with some spiked drugs and a case of scuba diving gone wrong, helping a young man with an embarrassing PGAD condition, and Avery (Phillipa Soo) taking interest in an overly-studious passenger (Kathryn Newton) whose mostly minor symptoms become hard to diagnosis.

  • wiki: link

The rape and murder of a sailor brings Tish‘s (Tonantzin Carmelo) case back in prominence as Franks (Kyle Schmid) wrongly assumes it’s the same man. Both cases eventually work themselves out with NIS solving the relatively simple case of the new killing, but in learning about Tish they decide to help Franks find the evidence needed to put the FBI’s latest suspect away. Gibbs (Austin Stowell), with his own history of vengeance and revenge, acts as a voice of reason for Franks talking him down from taking the law into his own hands. While the episode closes the loop on this story, it doesn’t mean a happy ending for Franks as Tish chooses to leave and find the peace which has illuded her.
