!Abduction
->Directed By: Ken Fink
->Written By: Anya Epstein and Julie Martin

Sean Marshall, a four-year-old boy, gets abducted from a playground, and the entire Homicide unit is on the case (with Falsone as lead detective).

!!This episode contains examples of:
* {{Expy}}: Jeff Andrews (Creator/RobertJohnBurke), host of ''This Week's Wanted'', is a stand-in for John Walsh, host of ''Series/AmericasMostWanted'', down to the fact both Andrews and Walsh became involved with their respective shows after their own children were kidnapped (in the case of Andrews, he never found his child, while Walsh's child was murdered).
* ItsPersonal: When Falsone gets upset about Andrews being involved with the case, Stivers points out Andrews' own daughter was kidnapped several years before and never found. Falsone changes his attitude towards him.
* RedHerring: Amy Marshall's (Creator/ElizabethMarvel) ex-husband is briefly suspected when he's not at his business trip, as does a pedophile who lives close to the Marshalls, but it turns out neither of them do it.
* ShoutOut: Andrews suggests the police use a hypnotist to try and talk to a little girl at the playground who may have seen who kidnapped Sean. Falsone is skeptical, but Giardello says, "At this stage of the game, I'd accept help from that woman on ''Series/{{Profiler}}''."
