However while researching the dead man's past, the team discovers that he had gained a lot of enemies recently, not least of all a young ensign , who makes himself the prime suspect with some bizarre behavior. Unfortunately they have to find a new suspect when the ensign forces Kate to shoot him and dies as a result.
