Election day looms and the team is on high alert, as Beckett's reign of terror appears to be escalating when an elderly Jewish man is found dead in a graveyard. The team is right on Beckett's tail, and a meeting between getaway driver Dennis and Beckett promises to be the key to capturing him.

While avoiding Taylor's interference, the team focus on trying to engineer a face-to-face meeting with Beckett.
