description: ABOUT THIS EPISODE Detective Malcolm Khalaji is at a loss. For the second time in his life he wasn't there when his lover needed him. And with Seong-Jae Yoon on leave pending an internal investigation Malcolm doesn't know what to do with a shattered partner and boyfriend who's retreated from him into a dark and broken place. It's Gabrielle all over again...yet this time Malcolm is determined to do this right. This time he's determined to be there no matter what Seong-Jae needs even if it means taking time off from the pressures of their job to hold Seong-Jae through every moment of trauma of guilt of self-recrimination. Until a frantic phone call from Seong-Jae's parents destroys any hope of peace. Because Seong-Jae's younger sister is missingand there's only one place she would go. Yet even if the desperate search breaks Seong-Jae's numbness it's the warmth of family that brings him back from a black and dangerous edgeand shows Malcolm a side to Seong-Jae he never could have imagined. But not even these idyllic moments of calm are safe as the twisted machinations surrounding them continue. If each player in this game is a chess piece then none other than Edmund Bishop is a pawn sacrificed to save his queen. Yet is Lillienne Wellington really the one pulling the strings? Or is someone else trying to eliminate Bishop for their own dire ends?
