Incidentally, during the eighth episode of “Blindspot,” entitled “We Fight Deaths on Thick Lone Waters,” the show deviated from its Sandstorm season arc to its typical case-of-the-week format via a random FBI case.
The episode saw Jane and Kurt Weller going undercover as part of a heist taking place at a political summit. But the plan goes haywire and the team is left scrambling to get Weller and Jane out of a jam.
The episode essentially starts in the middle, fills in all the details, and then hurtles toward an intense conclusion.
The eighth episode also saw the return of Assistant US Attorney Matthew Weitz, played by Aaron Abrams, who was once the boyfriend of Tasha Zapata.
Weitz has more than a shaky relationship with the FBI, seeing as though he was going after Mayfair last season.
Now he’s back to monitor this case and audit the team’s actions. But it turns out that a bomb going off outside of a major political summit tends to get Homeland Security involved. From there, the episode works backward a bit, filling the viewers in on just how the FBI got into the mess.
When Kurt and Jane go undercover, that left the rest of the team with no other choice but to interrogate two criminals who know where to find the two.
