Hondo and the team manage to stop the American and his ambulance loaded with explosives before he can reach the event. Meanwhile, Hondo, his father, Daniel Sr. and Darryl confront the history of racial tension in Los Angeles between law enforcement and the Black community, through flashbacks to the 1992 Los Angeles riots following the Rodney King verdict. Hondo also reveals that he enlisted in the Marines in order to hurt his father, and the two reconcile about their past misdeeds.

They can eventually confirm that Radek is at the residence and move in to apprehend him, but arrest a lookalike before they find the real Radek. Meanwhile, Tan searches for a person responsible for a racial altercation with his mother, Chan Fei.
