"And In That Darkness"
Kimble is picked up in a Memphis park as part of a homeless sweep and taken to a crowded mental institution. Judging it is clearly not the place for him, he sees an open door and is poised for an easy escape when another mentally ill inmate begins harassing a woman. He postpones his exit to offer assistance, which quickly becomes a physical altercation with the disturbed man. Orderlies approach as they wrestle to the floor, one of them injecting a needle into Kimble, rendering him unconscious.
As Kimble comes out of his haze, he explains to Dr. Felice that he doesn't really need to be held there. While troubled with an overcrowded facility, Felice still insists on a psychiatric evaluation, given the violent behavior Kimble's just displayed. As Kimble takes in the surroundings of the psychiatric day room when the woman, Grace approaches him. She thanks him and apologizes for making him miss his chance to get away. The two sit down to a game of chess and she tells him that she's a pianist who is there voluntarily for depression and undiagnosed problems with memory.
In Chicago, Gerard continues to investigate Eric Nerney's surveillance tapes and discovers Vasick's link with Chief McLaren, as well as Vasick's employer, Matthew Ross.
Felice mentions to Kimble that he spoke the name "Philip Gerard" while sedated. Kimble shrugs it off as nothing, but Felice asks an orderly to check for a listing of someone by that name.
Gerard pays Vasick a visit in the hospital. As Vasick recovers from his gunshot wound, Gerard threatens him with wiretap charges unless he comes clean about Matthew Ross.
Kimble considers Grace's symptoms and asks if she's ever been diagnosed with a thyroid problem. Later that night while the nurse is away from her station, he gets hold of Grace's charts and forges a prescription.
Gerard confronts Ross about hiring Vasick to kill Kimble. During the conversation Gerard explains why the Kimble case is so personal to him. A flashback reveals a car accident thirteen years earlier in which Gerard's first wife, Lenore was killed when a drunk driver went out of control and caused the car Gerard was driving to careen off a bridge. Gerard escaped but wasn't able to save his wife. In the ensuing trial, the drunk driver turned out to be wealthy and influential enough to buy his way out of a conviction, leaving Gerard to detest those who escape the law.
Grace reacts positively to her new medication. She comes alive while playing piano in the day room. This radical change in personality does not go unnoticed. When it's brought to his attention that her medication has been altered, Dr. Felice suspects Kimble who is the only patient that's been communicating with her. He tells Kimble that without some background information he will be forced to bring in the police to fingerprint and I.D. him. Grace, knowing Kimble had a hand in her recovery, agrees to help him.
While outside in a fenced off rooftop area, Kimble diverts the attention of an orderly to the deranged man he'd fought with earlier. Using Grace's coat to cover razor wired fencing, Kimble begins his escape. A patient alerts the orderly who sees Kimble scale the fence and drop to a fire escape ladder, out of sight. As he rounds the corner of the building, he's met by two police officers. Kimble thinks quickly and tells them he's chasing a man who's just escaped.
Gerard confronts McLaren with his new incriminating evidence and threatens to go public unless he transfers Gerard from Homicide to the Fugitive Task Force.
Passing by a bar along a Memphis street, Kimble hears the sound of a piano, reminding him of the way Grace played. Meanwhile, somewhere outside the walls of the hospital, Grace musically enlightens a recital chamber with rejuvenated spirit.
