Manifest Destiny (Terriers)

As Lindus (Christopher Cousins) is reported to have gone missing, Josephine (Jackie Debatin) accuses Hank (Donal Logue) and Britt (Michael Raymond-James) of having kidnapped him. Mark (Rockmond Dunbar) questions Hank, who suggests he may have had access to his vault, but he can't be arrested as he never confessed anything.

Returning home, they see that Steph (Karina Logue) has placed Lindus' corpse in a bathtub with ice. They take the body out of the house, retrieve one of Lindus' cars from his mansion, and stage his death to look like a drunk driving incident. The next day, they visit Josephine, claiming that retrieving Lindus from the airfield was part of a plan that Lindus asked them to do. Josephine then informs them that Lindus' associates wanted to meet with him and she provided them with Hank's and Britt's contact numbers and address. Hank takes Steph to live with Gretchen (Kimberly Quinn) while Britt also moves out of their house with Katie (Laura Allen).

To lure the associates, Hank and Britt use Lindus' frozen credit card to put fake trails, making it appear like he stayed in a motel room. Later, a man (Daren Scott), whom Hank identifies as the person who forced Mickey to use drugs, visits the motel room and leaves. They follow him to a law firm, Zeitlin & Associates. As Hank follows the man, he is approached by Ben Zeitlin (Michael Gaston), who wants to represent him and Britt on the accusation of kidnapping Lindus, to which Hank gives some details on his role. Zeitlin also wants to know a soil study that Lindus apparently possessed, threatening them by showing that the company and the man, identified as Mr. Burke, have been following them for days. On his way out, Hank punches Mr. Burke in the nose.

Hank and Britt visit Maggie (Jamie Denbo), who just gave birth to her son. Realizing that Zeitlin is involved, she tells them to give them everything they want and then leave. To complicate matters, Gretchen and Jason (Loren Dean) have checked the soil report, which reveals that the chemicals used on the ground would be carcinogenic to the people. Hank decides to change plans and intervene into the development deals. He and Britt locate Lindus' car and insert the soil report on Lindus' jacket. They later report the car incident, so the police will discover the car, the body and the soil report.

As Hank and Britt watch the news coverage on a bar, they are joined by Mark. Mark wonders if they had a role in Lindus' death, to which they deny. While Mark may not know what they did, he is actually thankful for whatever they did. The next day, Zeitlin is forced to give a conference to condemn the soil report, which will halt the development plan. Hank thanks Jason and Gretchen for helping him with Steph. As they leave, Hank tells Gretchen that he still loves her. While driving home, Steph states that the soil report had false numbers, as if people wanted it to appear carcinogenic. Hank then drives to the development site, where he sees Mr. Burke supervising workers joining the project. As Gretchen questions if the case remains open, Hank doubtfully says that it is closed.
