In Ithaca, Detective Jim Herz wants the McKay case closed and filed away, while Anne McKenna keeps circling the parts that don’t quite fit. As Ithaca PD washes its hands of a mass murder and the FBI steps in, MASTICATE focuses on the evidence left in the wake of a tragedy: software from an unknown source, an impossible rifle, and a shooter no one seems to really know. One thing is clear: the official story isn't enough to explain Bradley McKay's killing spree.

With the violence of Los Angeles behind them, MASTICATE scatters back to homes, families, and obligations. But they bring back new baggage and questions: about what they’re holding back, who gets to decide what’s an asset, and whether they crossed a line so long ago it’s no longer visible in the rearview mirror.

The world keeps going. Parades roll on. Holiday lights flicker. Familiar voices say the wrong things at the wrong time. MASTICATE is left staring at what they’ve become. Whether any of it matters will be tested when the next operation begins in Ithaca, New York.

The team moves too fast to second-guess, trying to keep Frank alive and track where the Gully-worm went after it stopped being a man. In the middle of the scramble, Justin reaches for something the others didn’t know he had, and it works well enough that no one dares ask how.By the time the operation grinds to a halt, nothing feels settled. Questions linger about where MASTICATE stands, who crossed which line, and what comes next.

Marlin sets the table for a quiet resolution, steering MASTICATE toward a place where no one will interrupt what comes next. The confrontation collapses almost immediately. Faced with something they never prepared for, the team is left fighting not for answers, but for survival.

Smoke still clings to their clothes when MASTICATE crowds into a Denny’s at one in the morning. The evidence they pulled from the fire is worse than expected—and clearer than they wanted. A woman held for months. A body that died weeks ago. Proof that whatever happened in that basement started with Franklin Dyer, but it sure as hell didn't end there.

As the team studies the photos, the pattern locks into focus. Gulley isn’t a loose end or a side problem—he’s the center of it. The real target. And the only way to reach him runs straight through Lieutenant John Marlin.

But time is running out. Deputies are watching. A routine drive turns into a high-risk stop. Authority evaporates the moment sirens come on. Every decision carries a cost they can feel settling in.

When MASTICATE sits down with Marlin, it’s the start of a countdown. And whatever happens next, they won’t be setting the terms.

Anton Gully lives in a quiet suburban house with his wife and two children, a traditional picture of domestic bliss. MASTICATE invites themselves in and discovers what that picture is hiding. There’s a basement that should have stayed locked, a journal that refuses to stay buried, and mounting evidence that Sgt. Gully isn't just involved—he's at the dead center. In a Thousand Oaks home built for peace and comfort, the agents find neither waiting.

Below deck on the Hull Yeah, MASTICATE holds court over Freddie Sutton. The arguments are practical, clinical even, except for one voice that sounds a little too eager and one that can't quite hide the dread of what's coming. No one can deny the cold logic of what needs to happen next. On deck, something catches Matthew's attention; a scent that he's come to savor, along with its promise of violent indulgence.

Back on land, an envelope arrives through channels that don't officially exist. Inside is an offer...or maybe a trap. One phone call could smooth everything over, put all the misunderstandings to rest. But some lines can't be uncrossed, and MASTICATE has to decide whether they're looking for an exit or a fight.

A picture coheres from the mosaic: Franklin Dyer was brewing something in his basement, and whatever he distilled from those alchemical compounds was on the street. The Slug Squad's fingerprints are everywhere. So the team sets their sights on bent cop Freddie Sutton—and takes him somewhere quiet to ask the hard questions. Time to decide: keep the cover, or start dropping bodies.

MASTICATE returns to the Southside Tiger’s house, where the county covered the basement and the police closed the case. Inside, they find what the authorities left behind; stains, smells, and secrets waiting behind the walls. And when the coroner’s report on Jaz Ihejirika arrives, the parallels become impossible to ignore.

MASTICATE sees just how far Slug Squad’s reach extends. A wary coroner becomes an unlikely ally once the agents press past his fear. A grieving widower recalls deputies who convinced him to stop asking questions. And when the team digs into the history of a dead serial killer, the details sound far too familiar for comfort.
