Synopsis: Trust within the team is shaken as they face the onset of a global pandemic. Jane’s identity may be more of a mystery than before.
Rating: ★★★★☆
When Patterson accidentally leaves some photos of Jane’s tattoos lying around her house, her boyfriend unwittingly figures out that one of them contains the location to the New York CDC office. When Patterson takes it to the team, she does an adorably terrible (and unnecessary) job of pretending she just happened to figure it out by herself – since she shouldn’t have had the photos at home. Mayfair clearly knows she’s lying, and uses that to keep her off the track of the file from Jane’s other tattoo – the file that proves Mayfair has been involved in some crap.
The team goes to the CDC to see what’s what, and the UV lights of the decontamination chamber reveal hidden tattoos on Jane’s face. It turns out the tattoos are serial numbers that correspond to samples of deadly diseases from the CDC. Samples that are, naturally, missing.

In a mad dash through populated areas, the team discovers a suitcase at the airport that is set to disperse the samples at any minute. They set up a makeshift, airtight tent around it, and Kurt is left to guard it alone until the CDC can arrive, but Jane realizes the director’s assistant was in on it too, and he plans to let the virus out, not help contain it. She makes it to Weller just in time to stop him from getting too close with his sabotaged HazMat suit, and together they beat the hell out of the guy. Turns out he and the director had this whole thing about ‘saving humanity’ by releasing diseases as a form of population control, since the world’s resources cannot possibly sustain the current rate of human reproduction and longevity.

But I still have a big problem with the way all of these tattoos are somehow being deciphered at the exact right time and in the exact right order for the team to get somewhere before certain things happen. Theoretically there might be an explanation for this, but no one has even suggested that it is odd. At some point, the backpedaling on what we thought we knew is also going to get old. Everything the show reveals, is proven false. It’s surely intentional, and cool for now, but it’s going become a problem eventually. An audience needs a world with some level of consistency and boundaries. Blindspot has neither.
