Line of Fire Episode 2 is titled A Bigger Picture and aired on NBC on September 28. The series is the network's latest family action thriller, which follows the members of the Hollingsworth family, who are all law enforcement agents in different fields.

The Pilot introduced a deadly conspiracy for the Hollingsworths after Clare's boyfriend Logan was murdered in her house by her thought-to-be-dead brother Jack. Jack's return is one of the key mysteries, which drove the plot in Episode 2. The latest episode saw Clare and the family deal with Logan's death and Russ emerged as a real supporter of his sister.

According to TV Insider, amid the mystery of Jack's return, Line of Fire Episode 2 also introduced a new character named Det. Wallace, who revealed a shocking truth to Clare about Logan: he was likely an undercover CIA operator.

Here is the complete recap.


Clare's grief is at the heart of Line of Fire Episode 2

Line of Fire Episode 2 opens in the aftermath of Logan's death, which shocks Clare to her core. But she chose to express her grief by throwing herself back into work, which brought a new case that created friction between her and Jane. The latest episode featured a bank heist, which saw Clare and Jane investigate the case from two completely different sides. While Jane was well aware that Clare was grieving and should likely take some time off, she couldn't put the case on hold. Jane's struggle to balance her duties as a federal agent and her role as Clare's mother came to a head when Clare made a difficult decision that landed her in trouble.

As Line of Fire Episode 2 concluded, the mother-daughter duo reached a resolution. While Jane was scared of losing another child, Clare assured her that she was trying to carve out her own path in her profession.

While Clare chose to deal with Logan's death by throwing herself into work, Line of Fire Episode 2 introduced Homeland Security's Wallace, the detective investigating Logan's death. The episode saw Det. Wallace head to Logan's neighborhood and search for Joel, the man who frequently hung out with Logan. The suspicion around Logan's real identity increased when a neighbour informed Wallace that there was nobody named Joel.

According to TV Insider, Wallace's investigation reached a breakthrough when she noticed tags on Logan's stuff. As it turns out, Logan had moved in just six months ago. Things got more suspicious when Wallace called Logan's place of employment and spoke to a woman who looked like she was speaking from a screen.

The final moments of Line of Fire Episode 2 brought shocking news for Clare. Det. Wallace revealed that Logan was not a history teacher as he pretended to be, but an undercover CIA operator, and Clare was likely his latest assignment.

Speaking with TV Insider, EP Joshua Safran teased that the Logan storyline will continue well into the first season and the mystery will only deepen in the upcoming episodes:

"...We're still dealing with stuff regarding Logan. It's not like you're going to get exactly perfect clean answers to his entire story by Episode 4."

On the other hand, Line of Fire Episode 2 continued the string of secrets in the Hollingsworth family. While Micah was trying to hide his forbidden relationship from his father, Mike and Jane were dealing with the fallout from Logan's death. While Mike was aware of Jack's survival, Jane was still in denial. She believed that the origami cranes were left by someone who knew Jack, suggesting that she is not fully sure if Mike's son is truly dead.

Safran teased that Jane will continue to investigate Mike's son, Jack, which will naturally create problems in her already complicated relationship with Mike:

"As Jane is investigating and maybe not telling Mike things, Mike is like, 'Is this about our relationship? Is that why you're not telling me things or are you trying to protect me?' They're always dealing with their relationship issues even as they're dealing with their work."
