The team is hired by an executive at a consulting firm who's been overlooked for a promotion she's next in line for in place of a younger male candidate with less experience. Meanwhile, Ross is worried that Beth can't keep their secret from the past and hires a con-woman pal to find out Beth's real intentions with Clark. Later, Ross tries to call a truce with Claire but she still doesn't trust his motives.

When a promising, bright college student unexpectedly joins a cult, her parents desperately try to get her out and turn to Edwards and Associates for their expertise.

Meanwhile, a cutthroat reporter looking to payback the firm for blackmailing his friend threatens the future of Edwards and Associates.

The team is hired by Jim McKenna, a researcher who tried to blow the whistle on his employer for creating dangerous genetically-modified cauliflower, but in the process was fired and had his life ruined.
