When the heavily pregnant wife of a boxer who Deacon is moonlighting as security detail for is kidnapped, with a threat to kill her if the cops get involved, 20 Squad has to find her without alerting her abductors. Tan clashes with his mother about his girlfriend.
Tropes
- Badass in Distress: Deacon gets caught by the kidnappers, though he is able to leave a trail for Hondo and the rest of the team to follow.
- Earn Your Happy Ending: Esther and her husband are reunited, he wins his title fight, their son is born safely, and Deacon puts them in touch with a lawyer to help them claim asylum in the USA rather than return to Cuba.
- Heroic Second Wind: After Chris informs him 20 Squad have rescued his wife, Torres regains his confidence and hammers his opponent into submission.
- I Have Your Wife: A group of criminals kidnap the heavily pregnant wife of a heavyweight boxer to force him to throw the fight, with an additional threat to kill her if her husband contacts the police.
- Imperiled in Pregnancy: Esther Torres is seven months pregnant when she is kidnapped to force her husband to throw the fight. The stress of the abduction causes her to go into premature labour.
- Parental Favoritism: Tan feels his older brother Jacob has always been the favourite son to his mother, and it is why he is reluctant to introduce Bonnie to his mother, believing she'd constantly be comparing Bonnie to Jacob's wife.
