The Proffer moves Vanished plots along

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

With Judge Wallace Rainer now confirmed, Senator Jeffery Collins waits for Sara to come home. Marcy, recovering from her miscarriage, asks her doctor to test her blood to find out if her condition was induced. At FBI, Agent Daniel Lucas gets a call from someone who contacted the late Agent Graham Kelton before his unfortunate passing. He asks Lucas to appear in a church confessional alone. Lin Mei comes as the only backup. At the place where Sara is held, she is watching video of her stepson blaming her for his-and by extension, his family's-unhappiness. Sara demands the set be turned off before she knocks it down. The woman in the next cell, a Deborah Hensley, wife of death row inmate Dr. Aaron Hensley, tries to console Sara before she gets taken out. At the church, Lin Mei recognizes blood on a painting as the same way it looked at the place where Sara was supposedly killed when she and Graham checked there weeks before. Lin Mei listens via earpiece to Lucas' conversation with this contact who wants the circular piece Lucas found. Lucas only agrees to this when Sara is found. He furthermore states that his partner has a gun pointed outside. After deal is made, Lin Mei tries to indeed to arrest the contact only to find him quickly gone. Marcy's doctor calls and says that indeed her miscarriage could have been induced but offered no proof. Marcy tells Ben about her affair with Rainer included her rape by him two months before on the day of his nomination. We find out Sara's kidnappers wanted Rainer confirmed so he could possibly help overturn a case which, if this happened, would help free several convicts, including Dr. Helnsley. Senator Collins asks a female judge he also helped confirmed to say no to overturning said case. Instead, she recuse herself bringing the motion to a possible standstill. Roperter Judy Nash goes to Marcy hoping to get some info Marcy was supposed to give her but Marcy goes back at her word without explanation. At FBI, Lucas and Lin Mei have found on computer the whereabouts of Sara and arrive in a forest only to be caught in the crossfire while Sara escapes unnoticed. Lucas and Lin Mei hold up a couple of hunters who seem to have done nothing wrong. Then under the sheet in the back of the truck behind a dead deer, we see Sara. Before wrapping up, let me mention that Seantor Collins found out from his handler that his ex-wife left because she got more than a thousand dollars from the handler to do so, so the ex-wife has left no trace. This turns into a relief to Marcy who thought she simply abandoned her. As the hunters' truck gets stopped in traffic, Sara gets out and identifies herself to the cop on duty...With only two episodes left, we are closer to finding out what the kidnappers' intention is. And Ming-Na's character really was necessary this time in IDing certain past clues from when she was with Kelton. Now that Ben knows, is he looking to kill Justice Rainer? And where did Mrs. Henlsley go? I can't wait to find out! Until next time...
