* FakeAlibi: Subverted. Much of the episode seems to indicate that Cally Lonegan murdered Malloy, despite the fact that FBI agents gave him an alibi. It turns out, however, that it was his identical twin who did it.

Waziri is murdered as well, and ballistics evidence points to Cally. He disappears before he can be arrested, but it emerges he is an FBI informant and helped them take down the Gambese crime family. The FBI has covered up for him on numerous crimes and Innes, who's an old friend of Cally, is protecting him from the Gambese Family. Green and Briscoe arrest Cally in Oneida, where he is staying with his identical twin brother Donald. Donald was Margaret's father, so they both have a motive to kill Malloy. This makes it hard to tell which of the two may be guilty. But witnesses can tell the two apart, saying Cally looks older.

Carmichael is suspicious that Cally wants a plea for both murders, when he usually does whatever he can to get off the charges. She realizes that the mugshot shown to Waziri was an old one where Cally looked more like Donald does now. The evidence indicates Cally did kill Waziri - but Donald could be Malloy's killer. Sure enough, he took off from work on the day of the murder and was staying at a hotel in New York. Innes says that he and Washington really were with Cally on the night of the murder. He didn't know Donald was involved, but did warn Cally there was a witness (Waziri.)
[=McCoy=] charges Cally with Waziri's murder, but before he can be arraigned, he is murdered at Rikers - seemingly on the orders of the Gambese Family. Donald remains free until the [=DA=]s can get enough evidence to charge him for Malloy's murder.
