The episode opens with a hostage negotiator trying to work with a police officer named Scott Waylon, who accidentally killed Dr. Norman Lukovich to steal from him. Waylon eventually dies by suicide after finding the body of Ian Dryden. Lupo and Bernard investigate and find that Waylon had been hired by Dryden to steal Kennedy memorabilia by a salesman named John Jay [=McIntyre=], who believes himself to be UsefulNotes/JohnFKennedy's illegitimate son. He is indicted for Dryden's murder, but due to a mistake during the interview with the detectives, the confession is tossed away. The Kennedy family request a gag order. So Cutter manipulates [=McIntyre=], saying that a comparative DNA test proves his claim of being JFK's son, but nobody can find out due to the order. An ecstatic [=McIntyre=] confesses to his actions, validated by a test that never took place.
