The narrative comes back to the HowWeGotHere opening of [[Recap/BoschS5E01 the season premiere]], with Walsh playing Russian roulette with Harry. The audience now knows that the firing pin on that gun has been filed down, so it's less of a surprise when Walsh pulls the trigger and the gun only clicks.

The next morning Bosch approaches Elizabeth the addict and asks her some questions. She has no idea where they are but knows that Walsh and his goons killed at least one addict who tried to escape. She also tells him about her daughter, the teenaged runaway who was murdered. The murder was never solved.

!!Tropes:

* CallBack: To the HowWeGotHere opening to the season. Harry survives the Russian roulette.
* EvilBrit: Walsh, the head of the pill-smuggling operation, has a British accent.
* KickTheDog: Well, literally ShootTheDog...but Vardy the goon is about to shoot the dog that is lurking around the camp, when Harry rather foolishly jumps in the way and saves the dog.
* MythologyGag: Pierce tells Vega that his old partner Robertson used to recommend carrying around a milk crate so you could sit on it and contemplate a crime scene. That's something that in the novels, Frankie Sheehan told Harry Bosch.
* {{Polyamory}}: In a completely random moment Vega tells Pierce that she is polyamorous. She has a husband and a boyfriend, and her husband...also has a boyfriend.
* RussianRoulette: Luckily for Harry, the gun has a filed-down firing pin.
