In Plain Sight S01E11 (USA)

Incredible sunlight through the clouds in Danshui (淡水鎮), Taipei County.

In Plain Sight follows a kind of show that has been made very popular on USA. It follows Burn Notice and Psych. It’s half comedy, half drama. Dramedy. The stories follow Mary Shannon, an officer for the US Marshals Witness Protection. Actually, Psych is all comedy, but you get the idea. It kind of reminds me of Saving Grace on TNT.

On July 21^st, In Plain Sight was renewed for a second 16 episode season. That pretty good news.

They have to relocate and protect witnesses to federal cases. In this episode, Brandy’s problems come crashing into Mary’s life. There is a case of mistaken identity and the US Marshals are looking for Mary.

Brandy hides the truth from everyone but her family and things don’t end as well as they could have. This was the first part of the season finale. It was a pretty riveting show.

Warning: Spoilers ahead.

In New Jersey, a guy is arrested for drug trafficking. He wants to make a deal. He wants to be in witsec. He gets his deal. The FBI agents get shot by some masked men. They know Charlie Johnson. He gets knocked out. He’s been missing ever since.

Mary thinks that her family will be the death of her. She is being followed. Jinx is at the audition for the play. She’s doing well. However, she locks herself out of the theater.

Mary sees Jinx walking around in a dance outfit. She kind of looks like a hooker. Her tail leaves her. Mary walks in and finds her mom singing. Her mom freaks out on her and leaves in a fluster, accusing Mary of ruining everything.

As Mary walks out, she gets a call from another federal agent in New Jersey. He asks her about her sister. Before she can make sense of this, she is attacked by two men, who try to abduct her. She manages to fight them off, but they used chloroform. She’s out cold. The men take her away. Some homeless man sees them.

Brandy and Raph are having breakfast. Nothing happened and they discuss their situation. He tells her to talk about Chuck with her sister. She calls Chuck and the federal agent answers.

Bobby D is told by the homeless man that a woman named Mary was abducted. He finds her phone and makes the connection.

Marshall sees the news about the murdered FBI agents. They were arresting Charlie, who is a drug dealer. He lives in the same town as Brandy. Stan and Marshall put two and two together after O’Conner calls Marshall, trying to reach Shannon.

Jinx comes home to drink. She gets a call from Brandy, who wants a lift. Brandy tells her mom that she’s in a lot of trouble. As they arrive home, FBI and US Marshals converge on their location.

Marshall and Stan question Brandy and Jinx. Jinx thinks that Brandy is having an affair with Raph. Brandy tells her mom that Chuck forced her to take the drugs. The marshals don’t know about them yet.

O’Conner shows up at Mary’s house. He wants to talk with Brandy. O’Conner has dug up some dirt on Jinx and Brandy. It turns out that Jinx skipped out on 40 court ordered AA meetings. She moved to New Mexico. Mary’s father spent 30 years on the FBI most wanted list.

Mary is chained to a pole. She wakes up. She has got a gun, but she can’t do anything. The men bring in Chuck. Chuck tells them that Mary isn’t Brandy. They kidnapped the wrong Shannon. Chuck still has Brandy’s disposable phone number. The kidnapper is named Spanky. He tells Brandy that he’s got Mary and Chuck. He shoots and kills Chuck. He wants the drugs. He tells her to meet her. Brandy gets ready to leave, but O’Conner arrives. He wants to talk. He’s a bit rough with her.

Bobby D, Stan and Marshall run the license plate number that Mary had on her to-do list. The car was reported stolen a few days ago. They found the car. They got a partial from a cup and plan on going to the address.

O’Conner released info that Chuck was abducted with an unidentified female US Marshal. Spanky is informed that a US Marshal was kidnapped. O’Conner just signed Mary’s death warrant. Spanky tells his goon to cut up Mary and dispose of the body. The goon wants to rape Mary first. He makes a mistake. She knocks him in the head and shoots him a couple of times. Another goon comes down, but Mary fires on him. The goon uses a shotgun ten times before Mary hears some more shots. Stan and Marshall take her to the precinct.

Stan locks O’Conner in the office and leaves when he tries to question Mary.
