In the aftermath of the Walker's dramatic Thanksgiving dinner with Abeline's traumatic hospitalization, the family rings in the new year with members of the Walker family resolving to make better choices across the board. While Cordell throws himself into family matters, Cassie pulls Trey into a case tracking down an elusive tech mogul. But Cassie gets the sense she's in hot water with Captain James. 

Cordell is tipped off that Grey Flag may still have him as their prime target. Meanwhile, Captain James has discovered that Cordell and Cassie weren't truthful about some top-secret information and Trey's involvement in the prior week's case lands him in hot water. Abeline and Bonham disagree on how ready Cordell is to handle his responsibilities, while Liam continues to pursue his new business venture, despite his dad's displeasure over his son's new partner.
