He readily confesses to the murder, but Lisbon finds loopholes in his story. She finds evidence on the photographer's pawned memory card exonerating him.

Wainwright is skeptical and decides to tackle the Tibbs situation his way.
In a search of his house, Lisbon and the team find hidden ammunition.
