The team investigates an American citizen who is proclaiming his innocence after seeking sanctuary at Madrid's U.S. embassy while still covered in the blood of his murdered Spanish boyfriend. Also, Vo and Raines continue to grow their friendship.
Tropes:
- Clear Their Name: The Fly Team tries to prove that Drew Edmondson did not murder his male lover.
- Everyone Can See It: The start of the episode confirms Vo and Raines have known all along about Forrester and Kellett being together. The pair openly laugh at how the two think they're fooling anyone by arriving at work exactly five seconds apart.
- Screw the Rules, I Have Connections!: The Fly Team is not pleased that they got briefed that the new ambassador in Madrid is someone who has a career in pharmaceuticals and does not have any background/working experience in international relations. He just got appointed because he made a lot of contributions in the last presidential elections.
- Straight Gay: Drew Edmondson and the Victim of the Week Rafael Delgado. The former does not seem to have any gay mannerisms or fall into any gay stereotypes.
