Season 2 episode 1 began with the mysterious disappearance of a lady named Maya Price, which becomes a prominent case followed throughout the entire episode. Morgan keeps her family indoors after the incident with the Game Maker. While she missed being at work, Karadec, Soto, Oz, and Daphne worked hard to catch the mystery man. Soto also tries hard to find Roman, continuing the search from season 1.

Finding suspicious clues at a house in her neighbourhood, Morgan rushes to her team, suspecting it is another trick by the Game Maker. They soon find its connection to Maya's case.

As they search for more clues and interrogate Maya's sister, husband Derek, and boss Jason Howard, Morgan strongly believes that the Game Maker is trying to make them believe Jason is the culprit. Karadec and the team doubt Morgan as she claims to have seen the Game Maker at Jason's party and claims he is behind it all.

Towards the end, Morgan's suspicions come true as the mystery man uses them to turn Derek into a murderer by making him target Jason for revenge. Soto finds Roman's address, and Oz and Dephne head to check it. The episode ends with two shocking characters' entries.
