Knight lets herself into Sam’s home with Molly’s spare key to execute the arrest warrant.

“I miss her,” he says.

He reaches for the gun again, and we hear the shot from outside the house.
But it was Knight, firing a shot that grazed his forehead and saved his life.
In interrogation, Sam (talking without a lawyer UGH, WHY, SAM??)

Since there was no forced entry, the team asks Sam who’d have had access to their house.
Surprise, surprise, the Freemans did.
An important first step happens when Molly joins him at the grave to apologize.
It was a nice departure from the usual breakneck pace of clues and red herrings.
