After a team profiler is believed to be the latest victim of a serial killer, the squad is surprised by the new replacement, a rookie agent without much profiling experience. Squad supervisor Virgil “Web” Webster has a feeling about this rookie. He senses that Agent Rebecca Locke has a “gift,” and that is why he chose her for his team. In short time the other team members can’t help but be impressed with her too.

The team is searching for a man who is on a killing spree, covering rapes by shooting at the victims' genitalia before finishing them off in the woods. Rebecca is sent as bait in the nightclub where all the victims were last seen. They soon realize that they might have viewed the case in the wrong way.

Paul finds his work hampered by the memory of his wife's recent miscarriage when a pregnant woman is killed and has her fetus stolen and replaced with a baby doll.
