[edit] Plot summary

Lieutenant Horatio Caine is standing outside the ER as doctors are trying to revive Eric Delko. Ryan Wolfe and Calleigh Duquesne hear from dispatch that Eric is dead so they go to the hospital and find out that if he doesn't respond to the doctors' efforts to save him, then they will call it. The doctor gives Eric a shot of a cardiac shocker injection to the heart which revives him finally. But soon Calleigh found out that Eric has a memory lost, just after he seems to be calling Marisol Delko, Eric's sister (and Horatio's deceased wife). He forgets most of everything that had occurred in the past except for Speedle's death and the names of his co-workers. Alexx Woods explains to Calleigh about several brain damages that Eric suffers of. Caine has to tell Eric that his sister is dead. The man who shot Eric was a parking lot cop who was paid $100,000 by Clavo Cruz to shoot Eric.

Clavo then seeks revenge, killing his adoptive father, the Ambassador General Cruz in the consulate office. Later on, Clavo's real father is revealed, and as it turns out, Clavo had smuggled illegal blood diamonds into Miami, and his escape from jail was intended to help his father sell them to underground dealers. One of the dealers is raided and shut down after the plain sight of illegal child labor by Natalia and Ryan. After being disowned by his biological father and having nothing to live for, Clavo intends to suicide by cop by challenging Caine for a gun duel. Soon, numbers of armed police officers come out, then Caine states that he will kill Clavo. Just when Clavo held his pistol with both hands to aim it at Caine, he was shot by Caine right through his chest. Clavo later dies of cardiac arrest.

Eric recovers quickly and returns to work 2 weeks later.
