A bank is robbed, but in the process, one of the bank employees, Ernie, is shot and killed. The team assumes the robbers killed him, but Jane finds the fact that the door to the security deposit room was opened after the robbery, very suspicious. The CBI are able to link John Hutten to two other robberies and realise that he is the only common member in each robbery crew. Jane senses that Hutten had an inside man on this particular job and finds Ernie was the inside man. His fiance and coworker, Nancy ( Katie Walder ), refuses to believe. Jane goes through the list of people who have safety deposit boxes in the vault and discovers a connection with Nancy. She confesses that he had lost interest in her so she started snooping and discovered his involvement in the robbery and plan to leave for Brazil without her so she killed him and hid the gun in the safety deposit box. Hutten is indicted based on Ernie's secret email address that Nancy had discovered. Meanwhile, Lisbon gets invited to a poker game by FBI Agent Mancini which includes Deputy Director Bertram, a state senator and the FBI director.
