Detective John Kennex and Dorian investigate Simon, a psychopathic killer who is strapping bombs to his victims' neck and broadcasting their final moments over the internet. When Simon targets Kennex, the team is in a nail-biting race against time to save his life. Meanwhile, a power deficiency affects Dorian's energy level, causing him to have unexpected outbursts.
Provides examples of the following tropes:
- Dead Man Switch: Simon's backup plan in case he was sniped. However, it was disabled by Dorian with an electrical shock that caused Simon to grip the trigger even when unconscious.
- Explosive Leash: Simon's design of choice.
- Mad Bomber: Simon was a former recruit in bomb training. When he was rejected and giving a black mark, he used this as motivation to exact revenge.
- murder.com: A psychopathic killer traps victims in explosive collars to force them to go things like robbing banks for their freedom. These final actions of each victim are filmed and streamed live on a website where his viewers give disturbing comments on the situation.
- New Media Are Evil: In "Simon Says" the killer attaches Explosive Leashes to people and makes them do stuff while streaming video of them online. Comments are mostly stuff like "blow them up", and "bitch deserves it", or "fuck those pigs".
- Pet the Dog: John is out of commission due to the criminal of the week so Dorian and Paul have to work together. It cumulates with Paul commenting that Dorian's plan is 'pretty smart' and then making a wise crack to his MX about whether the MX could pull off Dorian's plan.
- Time Bomb: Happens during John's attempt to disable his bomb collar. It hit three seconds as soon as Dorian shocked Simon's deadman's trigger.
