While investigating a series of bizarre, drug-related murders, Sara, Jake and Danny run into Dean Gorner, a narcotics detective with a major chip on his shoulder since the murder of his former partner has yet to be solved. Gorner persuades Sara to "loan" him Jake to help him with a drug stakeout. Reluctantly Sara agrees to let the rookie work with Gorner. Meanwhile, Sara is receiving strange Witchblade visions about the cause of the deaths. A trail of hallucinagenic blue pills called "Bob" leads Sara back to Gorner's partner's unsolved murder. As she and Danny struggle to put the pieces together, Gorner leads Jake down a dangerous path, ultimately framing him in a drug deal gone wrong and making off with the cash and drugs. But ultimately, the mobsters -- who want their drugs and money back -- capture Jake and Gorner and pit them against each other. Primed with the designer drug and alcohol, Jake and Gorner are made to play a deadly game. Meanwhile, Sara and Danny discover that Gorner is a dirty cop and Sara uses her Witchblade visions to track him down before Jake, in his "Bob"-altered state, kills him.
