- When Donald Lucas (about whom much mystery remains), the ostensible "Jack of All Trades", manages to hack onto the Internet in jail, Sam and Bailey fear he is contacting a disciple (or disciples) for further nefarious and inevitably deadly activities. The team travels to the tiny far northern California town of Otis, which lies near the Oregon border. The town has had several "Jack-of-All-Trades"-style murders. With the assistance of the seemingly crackpot sheriff, Ed Post -- more about whom will be learned at the very end of the episode -- Sam, Bailey and the VCTF squad try to find the suspect. George is abducted (which may play a role in his future traumas to be addressed in later episodes) by the perp (who is nothing like the superficial character he projects) -- one of whose victims is the reclusive, embittered, wheelchair-bound academic, Philip Menzies, who was originally under suspicion by the team until his disability removed him from suspicion. George later kills the perp but the sheriff assures him he will put down that it was "justifiable homicide".
Sam is manipulated into an abandoned underground laboratory where, decades earlier, her father had worked on classified government-sponsored mind-control experiments. As a result, 36 people, to most of whom much of Otis's rather simple population is related, according to the sheriff, suffered lasting health damage.
Crackpot Sheriff Post turns out to be the actual the real "Jack Of All Trades" and Donald Lucas is HIS acolyte/disciple. Actor Dennis Christopher, later credited as Albert Newquay (the real name of "Jack"), is credited as Ed Post.
