After Grace went back to the safehouse that night, the next morning she got a text from Ingrid that she, Grace and Jack should be at the Bureau's headquarters as soon as possible. Grace got up and tried to carefully tip toe around the room so she wouldn't wake Carmen (who was sleeping in a twin bed on the opposite side of the room).
Once she was dressed, she came out to the living room to find her jacket only to see--
"Oh...hey, kiddos." Gretta and Elliot are on the couch. Elliot's sat cross-legged eating cereal for breakfast. Gretta sits next to him, her chin tucked under one of her legs. Gretta glances up from her phone to wave.
"Hey mom."
"You two are up early." She observes.
"I couldn't sleep." Gretta explains.
"I was going to go over to the headquarters." Elliot says, almost speaking over her.
Grace's raises eyebrows shot up.
"You two have been...rather in sync lately."
"It's just a coincidence." Gretta replies dryly, side-eyeing Elliot.
"Okay then." Grace murmurs, quickly changing the subject. "Do you want to ride with me to the office Elliot since you said you were going there anyway?"
"No, it's fine. I'll go by myself." He dismisses. Grace nods, finds her jacket on a bar stool by the kitchen and leaves.
Gretta releases the tension that was seeping from her shoulders with a sigh of relief as Elliot gets up to clean his breakfast and put his bowl and spoon in the dishwasher.
"You're going to have to tell her." He points out.
"I know...just...not now. Not when we..." Gretta trails off, hesitant to reveal the truth of her statement.
"I know...sorry. It's just...your mum is a detective--a really capable one at that. She's going to find out eventually."
"I know. Don't worry, I'll tell her--soon. But for now, I have to get ready." Gretta explains, finalizing their conversation, leaving a kiss on Elliot's cheek before she returns to their shared room to get dressed and ready for the day.

"Now with one killer jailed, you can concentrate on finding the Chief's! They're still out there!"
"Don't worry, Ingrid! Grace and I will bring them to justice!" Jack reassures her.
Ingrid turns to Grace and says,
"Grace, you must investigate all leads possible! I suggest you start by interrogating Christy. She heard about the Chief's murder and copied it, but that doesn't explain how she got the same kind of dart."
