A lot of the action in this episode is internal. Jarrod is haunted after his client, Jeff Bowden, is convicted of a murder he believes the man did not commit, but on the way to prison, Bowden escapes and comes back to town, to see his wife give birth. Bowden gets cornered in the schoolhouse where Audra Barkley is substitute teaching. One of the kids - the son of the man who testified against Bowden and who is freaking out because he thinks Bowden is out to get him - escapes and sounds the alarm.
Jarrod goes into the schoolhouse alone to try to get Bowden to let the school kids and his sister free, then ends up helping Bowden escape yet again so he can go home and see his wife and then turn himself in. Meanwhile, his wife has had a son, and Bowden gets to spend a moment with them, holding the baby's hand. But then Bowden turns on Jarrod, refuses to turn himself in, and a shootout in the street ensues as he tries to escape one more time. The final revelation comes and in the end, everyone - especially Jarrod - has truth to face.
Many of the "Jarrod" episodes were thinking episodes, containing a lot of what happens when things aren't what they seem and how do you face the truth when you finally have to.
