Reese excels as a soldier in the Army until he finds himself in a predicament where his Sergeant can't assist him. Drawing a parallel between being captured and being grounded, he takes charge and rallies his team to win. However, his success comes with challenges, especially as he prepares to jump from a plane into Afghanistan. Meanwhile, Malcolm is busy trying to clear Hal's name. His knack for numbers reveals that all the prosecution's dates fall on Fridays, a day Hal hasn’t worked in over 15 years. As Reese remains unaccounted for and Hal's situation worsens, Lois spirals further into madness.
