Sniffer must help with the investigation into the break-in and attack on the guard that he perpetrated himself, and hide his involvement in the matter. When the tech expert tries to pull up the security footage they find that it has been corrupted, much to Sniffer's relief. Sniffer then leaves to return the gun that his hypnotized self had stolen from the evidence locker. He is forced to hide when another employee comes into the room but isn't caught.

The sniper Viktor caught in the previous episode is brought in to be interrogated by him. He stays silent when Viktor asks him for his name but eventually answers the questions cryptically with philosophies regarding life. He has a mysterious tattoo that makes Viktor suspect that the man is part of a rogue security force. Viktor swears to figure out who he is and what the tattoo means. Viktor's superior tells him that the things he was saying were lines from the samurai code of honour.

Sniffer has an awkward birthday dinner for his son Alex in which his ex-wife gets into a fight with her mother and then cries on Sniffer's shoulder. He later figures out that he had gotten a call from an unknown caller that lasted roughly thirty seconds before he went into his trance.

Viktor's boss is visited by a military commander who identifies the sniper is named Oleg and served in special operation unit 1354, which explains the tattoo. the unit was created for especially dangerous and sensitive tasks which is why there's no official record of them. There was a time that the unit worked well but one day they killed two terrorists they were supposed to keep alive and bring in for questioning. Their superiors should've investigated things sooner but eventually, the soldiers began to kill more and more people. The decision was made to liquidate the uni but three hours before they were set to be arrested, all of its members disappeared. There were ten in the unit including the commanding officer. As of now there are seven still out on the run.

One of the officers in the department gets a call with the same strange tones and immediately thereafter goes over to the sniper's holding cell and shoots him dead before turning the gun on himself. It's determined that the cop hadn't been feeling well after he got a flu vaccination. The tech expert is unable to trace the call. Blood analysis determines that the vaccinations had an effect on those that received them more than what they were advertised for.

Sniffer messes with some blood samples to try to cover his tracks but accidentally breaks a glass beaker in the process and cuts his finger before leaving. When the medical examiner comes in she finds a bloody fingerprint that Sniffer left behind when stealing Barkov's blood sample. She brings Viktor in to show him what has happened. Viktor tells her to trace the bloody fingerprint and she also informs him that she will still be able to conduct the investigation since she had a control sample saved.

Sniffer questions the man responsible for the vaccines and their conversation is interrupted by his talking to Viktor on the phone. The man's phone call is traced by the military security force and a shooter is sent to dispatch him for being an information leak. While Sniffer is doing his own investigation on the blood sample, Viktor arrives just after the doctor has been taken. Viktor tries calling him and the sniper takes the doctor's phone. When Viktor finds out the doctor left with a bald man, the witness identifies him off a picture of one of the snipers from the military operation. The sniper puts the doctor into the boot of his car and drives off. Viktor has the tech expert trace the number of an alternate number the doctor uses and they're able to trace his movements down the highway.

Sniffer consumes the unknown substance he extracted from the blood sample, intent on monitoring his activities using a body cam he stole from the police department.

Viktor catches up to the sniper's car and they begin shooting at each other. The sniper shoots at the boot of his car before running off. Viktor pursues him until there's nowhere left for him to run so the sniper decides to jump to his death. When Viktor and other officers check the boot of the car they find the doctor is daed from multiple gunshot wounds. Officers on the crime scene call Viktor over to another area of the patch of land where they've discovered Sniffer convulsing on the ground.

Eve informs the other Librarians of Flynn's resignation and departure from the Library, stemming from Darrington's concerns that having more than one Librarian will lead to a Civil War. The Librarians ponder whether Flynn now hopes and expects two more of them to resign. Eve decides that the best course of action is to bring the Librarians to a team-building camp, having spotted it from the clippings book but also wanting the team to come back together again.

At the camp, Jacob develops an attraction to one of the counsellors. The Librarians take part in the various team-building exercises while learning that various campers have been disappearing under mysterious circumstances. The camp organizer simply calls them quitters with no further explanation.

Jacob and the counselor he's interested in go searching through the forest, while Eve follows a lead that sends her into a cabin. A man named Tannon sends her away, having already heard of her as the unachievable standard in his own profession and doesn't want her winning the competitive aspect of the camp.

Jacob's counselor is smitten by his charms and his admitting to believing in magic so she reveals to him that she is actually a reporter who was fired for writing about the Library. She thinks that these strange happenings will lead to the Library and vindicate her professionally so she could get her job back. She runs off when he takes too long to respond to her and his hand gets pricked on a tree. He finds footage from a Gopro belonging to another camper that is shown to have been yanked away by some live vines and branches. Ezekiel and Cassandra discover a mysterious suitcase in the lake that they believe is related to the case.

Cassandra and Ezekiel distract the team organiser, Mr. Bender, while Eve and Jake search through his cabin to try to find more information regarding the disappearances. Jake becomes disoriented by the sounds he has been hearing on and off since his hand was priced in the woods. Jake and Eve argue about her aggression in pushing the team to come together but Jake determines that she is just trying to fill the void that Flynn left behind when he quit without even saying goodbye. In her moment of passionate outburst, she knocks over a file that holds all the information not he missing campers and sets off to find Ezekiel and Cassandra while Jake goes to talk to his counselor. Jake apologises for earlier and tries to tell her the truth about his connection to the Library but collapses due to the sounds he's been hearing. Vines emerge and yank him into the woods.

She tells Eve, Cassandra, and Ezekiel about Jake being pulled in by vines. Jenkins tells them that this is the Devil's Forest and people have been disappearing there for at least the last century. They consider that Bender might be an immortal stealing souls to extend his own lifeform. Native Americans had believed that there was a Grandfather Tree from which all the world's forests originate. Eve and the Librarians confront Bender who admits he has been hiding the disappearances but doesn't know what's going on.

Eve and the Librarians finally track down the Grandfather Tree and find Jake's image in the tree. Some team members try to destroy the tree but then Jake's face speaks to tell them not to cut the tree down. Jake is being used as a translator for the Grandfather Tree and Jake was the perfect person for this since he's a linguist that speaks over 64 dialects. They give the Librarians a golden acorn that can be used to rebuild the forest if it is ever destroyed. Eve promises to protect it, after which Jake and all the other campers and people taken over the years are released from the trees. Jake brings his counselor to the Library to assure her she was right and reveals he is a Librarian. He sadly tells her he can't be with her since his destiny is with the Library.

The Librarians airs on Wednesdays on TNT.

A party girl named Alyona is murdered in her luxury apartment. Sniffer immediately picks up on the fact that she had sex shortly before her death, meaning that the mystery man is one of three suspects. Altona had been paying her own tuition to attend an expensive university and investigators are unsure how she afforded this in addition to her apartment.

Tatyana's psychiatric doctor tries to make a sexual pass at her and is surprised when she rejects his advances. When he can't find proof of her hiding her pills that she's supposed to be taking, the doctor orders that she be given injections as a means of taking her 'medicine' but in actuality it's to make her more pliable and subservient to his advances.

Alyona's parents are brought in to answer some questions. When Sniffer picks up that her father was in the apartment recently he admits in private that Alyona helped him with living expenses by providing monthly payments. Alyona's mother doesn't know about any of this and her father asks them not to tell her mother about any of this. He tells them that Alyona secretly worked in a strip club called "Star" and he only found out about this by accident.

Viktor goes to Star and learns from another dancer working there that Alyona was clever about picking up different sugar daddies to date and pay for her every few months.  Alyona's landlord is brought in for questioning next and he claims to only have been in her apartment once a month to pick up the rent but Sniffer is able to pick up on his scent as one that was in the apartment more recently. Viktor allows him to leave without further questioning because he can't think of a motive for murder.

One of Alyona's closest friends is able to pick out another student at the university as the man she had slept with on Friday. He had sex with her only half an hour before she was murdered. The man admits that they have fought in their relationship but he is insistent that he didn't kill her. Sniffer reminds Viktor that the three scents he picked up on were what he picked up on from the bedroom but not necessarily the entire apartment. When Viktor catches the landlord at Star, the man admits that Alyona was trading sex to rent the apartment but they had both agreed to this arrangement. The landlord's lawyer comes in and shows traffic surveillance photos of the landlord speeding through traffic and getting caught. He was 120 kilometers outside of the city, meaning he can't be the murderer.

Sniffer visits the psychiatric facility to check on Tatyana, who is lethargic and despondent from the drug injections. The doctor claims that sniffer's last visit with her triggered a PTSD episode and this is why her progress isn't better. Sniffer is willing to continue paying for her treatments but is saddened that she still appears to be so ill.

One of Alyona's best friends Liza is found dead in a body of water with some signs that she has ben tortured. Liza's body was found near a token belonging to Alyona's boyfriend. He is brought in once more for questioning and he says that he forgot the token when he left her place. When he returned to try to get it back, he called out for Alyona but she didn't respond. He heard running water and checked the shower where he found her dead before running away scared. Viktor doesn't believe his innocence but Sniffer isn't so certain that the boyfriend is the killer.

Alyona's mother is going through an old album of photos she finds among Alyona's things when she finds some provocative photos of Alyona. She grabs a rolling pin from the kitchen, goes out to the shed where her husband is working and knocks him over the head. When Alyona's mother is questioned by Viktor, she shares that her husband isn't Alyona's biological father and in hindsight she realises that he must have been molesting her. She blames herself and believes he is the one who killed her, saying that the night of Alyona's murder, she only saw the light from the shed but doesn't know for certain that he was out there.

When Viktor questions Alyona's step-father, he admits that he and Alyona started sleeping together seven years ago and it stopped once she got accepted to university. Alyona's father says it was a mutually passionate relationship. Sniffer finds a USB drive in the shed where the man was working. It was given to him by Alyona. She accidentally caught Boris, the landlord, killing a fisherman that was fishing on his property at his country home. The man says he was afraid to come forward because Boris is really well-connected. Liza had helped Alyona to try to blackmail Boris with an edited version of the video.

Sniffer gets a call while talking about the case with Viktor and it's the same strange dial tone that was used to trigger the prison guard to murder an inmate. Sniffer leaves and Viktor gets a call from the tech expert that had enhanced the surveillance content of the car that was speeding through traffic and it's revealed to have been Boris' lawyer at the wheel of the car. Viktor tracks Boris down at Star and chases him through the club until he gets outside. A random sniper shoots Boris dead and Viktor shoots (but doesn't kill) the sniper. He also takes the sniper's gun from him before he can shoot himself.

Finally, Sniffer gets to the holding cells in the police department, knocks the guard out, and prepares to shoot Alyona's step-father before he somehow manages to break out of the trance. He sniffs the gun and is able to deduce how he stole the gun from an evidence locker and upon sniffing the guard, he is able to figure out that the was the one to knock him out. He is alarmed to see that there are surveillance cameras there so he is likely to have been caught on camera doing these things. As he leaves, Alyona's step-father has a heart attack.

The Sniffer is available for streaming on Netflix.

Ten years ago the Hernandezes were working with some strange rocks that glow and move. They call the Steins to show them some of their findings but after the call the Hernandezes find they are locked in the room with a bomb that detonates. Molly was with them in the room that exploded but survives due to her holding one of the strange rocks which gives her the super powers that have since manifested. Leslie is revealed to be the one that set up the bomb and afterwards she calls Tina to tell her she handled it. Right after the call, Tina burns her hand on a pan she was cooking food in.

In the present, Gabriela discovers that Molly has snuck out. Nico tries to check on Amy's phone but is interrupted by her father who says that her mother has allowed him to move back home and now they will seemingly try to mend their relationship. Since her father likes to spend time in Amy's room to get some comfort so Nico has to wait to be able to check on the phone.

Karolina talks with Frank who doesn't want the kids putting themselves in danger going against Pride and wants to handle things himself.

Janet implores Chase to not make waves regarding Victor's absence, which she has already given an excuse to the public for. She assures him that Jonah is invested in Victor's survival and Pride is working hard to help him but now Chase needs to be careful. The teens are still angry at Chase, Alex in particular. Chase tries to apologise to Alex but now the group has no idea of what their next step is. Alex proposes they call themselves the "Runaways" in memoriam of all the people they haven't been able to save. They all decide to go to the upcoming school dance since according to Gert, if there's nothing left for them to do then they might as well just dance.

In a flashback to fifteen years prior, Tina returns home and finds that Jonah has sent the babysitter home and is playing with a young toddler Amy. Nico is just an infant. Jonah ominously warns Tina that raising girls is easy until they're teenagers which is when they turn on their mothers.

In the present, Jonah wants to use Geoffrey's drilling company to dig a hole deep underneath Los Angeles. He assigns the other Pride members to keep the job on task. Darius is monitoring the area by paying off one of the guards but the guard comes out to tell him he and the other employees have been fired. Darius says he has been twenty years to find out what Darius has been up to.

Molly sneaks back to the school to meet the group and shows them the VHS tape she found. Alex directs them to a place where they find a tape-player and on it they find a video of Molly's parents that tell her about Pride. Pride is planning on digging something up deep in the city and that they had been led to believe they were finding a renewable energy source but with the research they've been doing they are concerned that digging in deep to retrieve what they're after will cause cataclysmic seismic events. They warn Molly that if they're watching this they weren't able to stop it themselves and send her their love, imploring her to stop Pride and apologising that they couldn't be the ones to do it. The group speculates that this could've been the reason Molly's parents died and become renewed in their motivation to stop their parents. They realise that the work they're claiming to do on the school has all been a front for this one goal. Though they're just teenagers, they know they need to stop this because no one else will. They decide to still go to the dance as it will be the perfect cover to investigate the drilling site.

Frank confronts Jonah with what he knows about Pride.

Nico shows Alex the text from Amy's phone that warned her about some unknown man finding out what she was up to and to get out. They try to speculate on who she might've been involved with but are interrupted by Robert coming in reminding them to come out so Tina can take pictures of them. When they're alone again Nico insists to him that she's no longer romantically interested in him because of his keeping secret what he knew about Amy. He's still interested but she remains firm in her resolve.

The Steins call Graciela to check in on Molly and are alarmed to find out that she ran off. Graciela reveals how the Hernandezes didn't trust them enough to leave the key with them and insists that they leave Molly alone. The Steins ponder on how the Hernandezes must have known that they would end up in a compromised position and that they must've been up against the same battles they are now fighting and lost. Their train of thought is interrupted by Jonah who calls to insist that Pride comes over for a group meeting.

The teens all arrive at the dance. Molly waits in the car with the dinosaur and advises Gert to go 'get' Chase and live her truth. She meets Chase inside and she opens up about often feeling invisible at school. He points out how she always thought he was an idiot but she admits she never actually though that and only said it because she felt ignored. She brings him to a back room so they can have one last dance before the world ends. He tells her he always saw her and the two have sex. Nico, Karolina, and Alex are waiting in the car with Molly and are wondering why Chase and Gert are taking so long. Nico and Karolina head back into the dance to look for them but Karolina takes the moment of privacy to kiss Nico, admitting her feelings for her. Right after, a disheveled Chase and Gert emerge. They all head out, not acknowledging any of the unresolved issues in their romantic entanglements.

Jonah has Pride gathered and informs them of all that their children know and how they've been conspiring against them for weeks. Jonah confronts each of the adults for their transgressions against him and he reminds them that the consequences of questioning his leadership will be severe. He asks them where their children are, skeptical of the cover story of them going to the dance. The parents return to their homes to find all the missing supplies, including the staff, the fistigons, the dinosaur, and the key card to the digging site.

Darius is waiting in a restaurant near the digging site with his pregnant wife. He confides in her about his determination to find out what is going on. She warns him that she doesn't want to raise this child alone. Darius says how he has seen things like a glowing girl, super gloves, and super strength. He wants to take whatever is going on away from Geoffrey. He plans to wait out in his car to keep an eye on the digging site, and she leaves to head home and get some sleep.

The teens arrive at the digging site and reaffirm their friendship, despite the conflicts they've experienced. They agree to all work together to stop the drill. A security guard says that Alex's father isn't in charge anymore but the Church of Gibborim is. Karolina tells the guard to call Frank, who confirms her cover story but is revealed to have Jonah in the car and is working with him. The teens are let into the construction site where Chase and Gert begin to work on the drill. Gert tries to claim that their having sex was simply the result of them being teenagers with hormones caught up in the moment. Chase uses his fistigons to destroy the drill while Molly pushes a large truck into the hole. Nico uses the staff to try to fill the hole but the adult members of Pride arrive and Tina uses her advanced knowledge to summon the staff back to her. The parents insist that everything they've done has been to protect their children but the teens insist on fighting back, with Molly revealing her glowing eyes and Karolina removing her bracelet to reveal her hyper-glowing states. The adults are all shocked by the display, with Leslie saying she didn't know about this but it is what she was afraid of.

An American tech expert, Phil Crosby, arrives in Russia and quickly dons a disguise to get out of the airport without being spotted by the people waiting for him. Viktor and Sniffer are brought in to investigate his disappearance and initially it's suspected that there's some sort of international intrigue. Crosby uses a device he planted on the car set to follow him to blow out their tire long enough for him to pull over with a woman he's met up with to use a metal detector to find a tracker on their car so they can get away.

Sniffer is having a difficult time connecting with his son Alex, who has become withdrawn and distant from him. Sniffer resumes work on the case after not being able to pick up much from the airport since there were so many people. They visit a university where a woman named Yelena works. Yelena is involved with Crosby, and the two are away in a remote cabin together. At the university, Viktor spots a suspicious-looking man in a suit and pursues him when he runs away. The two get into a physical altercation but eventually the man and his colleague are brought in to Viktor's superior. They refuse to answer any questions about Yelena, only saying that the case is top secret. After some time, the men are released without being charged and Viktor is informed that Yelena worked as an interpreter for Crosby for some time.

Sniffer tells Viktor that the silicone he smelled in Yelena's office was the kind used for special facemasks that disguise a person, much like in films. Viktor and Sniffer follow this lead to a woman who makes these types of masks. She is shown to be meeting with Crosby to make masks for him and he pays her extra to keep quiet about seeing him. Viktor and Sniffer are on their way to find the woman when Crosby walks past them and Viktor is forced to chase after him. When Crosby runs outside, one of the agents from earlier spots him and also chases after him. When Viktor catches up to Crosby, he finds he is holding the agent at gunpoint and forces Viktor to disarm himself before locking both men in a cage and getting away.

The agents are reprimanded for blowing the case and forced to turn over their information, while Viktor will be put in charge of the operation to find Crosby. The agents claim that Crosby is a CIA agent. He was taken into operational research by Yelena, another agent. But now Crosby is supposed to deliver a speech about personal data protection and their agency was the one to make the operation that got him out of the airport disguised as a woman. Sniffer informs the group of officers that Crosby and Yelena are involved and now she is pregnant. They believe that disappearing is the only way they'll be able to be together.

Yulia meets with Sniffer to tell him to stop giving him money but he tells her that he will do what he wants with his son and embarrasses her for her recent sexual tryst (with the loan officer) that he is able to smell on her.

Yelena calls a friend about some bleeding and cramps she is having, as she's worried it could be a miscarriage. The call allows their location to be traced, forcing Crosby and Yelena to flee. They don their disguises in an effort for Yelena to be able to get medical help without being recognised. When the law enforcement team investigates the cabin they'd been hiding out in they determine they were planning to fly to Cuba. The team knows that the masks they ordered were designed to make them look Latin American so when a call comes in about a Latin American team without documents coming in to seek treatment for a miscarriage risk, Viktor and the others get to the clinic as quickly as possible. But by the time they arrive, Crosby and Yelena have gotten away.

The correct flight is determined but they don't know what name Crosby and Yelena will be flying under. Sniffer is tasked with working alongside the flight attendant to sniff out when they arrive. Though he knows when the couple standing in front of them are Crosby and Yelena, he opts to let them get away instead of informing the law enforcement agents waiting close by to apprehend them. Viktor is suspicious of what Sniffer has done but Sniffer doesn't waiver in his claim that they didn't come to registration. At home, Sniffer is shown to be saddened by the heartbreak surrounding the dissolution of his relationship with Tatyana.

The Sniffer is available for streaming on Netflix.

Esme and her clones/sisters reach out to the Underground to ask for help in rebuilding the Hellfire Club by dealing with the remaining Hounds but their request is denied. Reed and Caitlin want to get their kids back and leave for Mexico as originally planned, as they feel that the tensions regarding their willingness to talk to Sentinel Services is too much to be able to stay with the Underground. The kids aren't fond of leaving the Underground, as they would rather stay and fight. Still they all leave as a family and stop off at another mutant refugee location where they are reunited with Wes.

Esme and her sisters visits Andy to try to convince him not to leave the fight and then they visit Polaris whom they attempt to manipulate into assisting the Club.

The autistic son a wealthy businessman drops a hairdryer into the man's bathtub while he's still in, resulting in the man's death. At first glance, law enforcement assumes it's an unfortunate accident. But further investigation points to foul play.

The man's wife is later revealed to be having an extramarital affair, and the housekeeper knows about it - even going to so far as to try to blackmail her into being able to keep her job. The husband's elderly sister lives in the house as a mute but seems to be more conscious of her surroundings than people would believe. The wife asks her lover Kostya to come to her house so she can have a tryst but once again the housekeeper interrupts, threatening to go to the police to tell them about the affair if she tries to fire her. The woman threatens the housekeeper, saying she'll call the police on her for blackmail and intends to send the boy and the elderly woman to an institution. The housekeeper leaves, emotionally distraught.

The following morning, Kostya wakes to find his lover dead with strangulation marks on her neck. While checking out the home and observing the boy's rituals they are able to determine that he was taught to throw the dryer which means that someone orchestrated his father's death and used him as a tool to do so.

Viktor visits Kostya at work after Sniffer determines that he was at the house (he snuck out before the police came). Kostya tries to claim he was having an affair with his secretary and she's only willing to cover for him until she finds out he is now a murder suspect.

The housekeeper learns that she is set to inherit a significant sum of money and will be free to apply for custody over the young boy, Yegor, if she would like. Sniffer is able to trick the elderly woman into revealing that she isn't so helpless as she pretends to be. She seemingly has another attack that sends her to the hospital. The housekeeper is called to be informed that the woman is on the brink of death and now would be the right time to say goodbye. The housekeeper goes to the hospital and meets with the elderly woman who says how she saw the housekeeper strangle the woman. The housekeeper was also the one who taught Yegor to throw the hairdryer since his mother was the intended target and the death of Yegor's father was merely an accident. The elderly woman sounds the alarm and it's revealed that Sniffer, Viktor, and other officers are nearby since this was all a rouse to catch the housekeeper confessing to the crimes. Though she has some disabilities she will be able to care for Yegor and give him a stable home.

The phone that was used to call the mental clinic is turned on, allowing police to track it to a park where it has been taped to a bench. Sniffer picks it up and sniffs it, causing him to be overwhelmed momentarily before returning to his original state. From afar, an unknown figure watches the scene unfold and tells someone that the phone has been found.
