Detective Emily Byrne's life has become a race against time to figure out what happened to her during her six-year disappearance, as well as to repair the relationships she damaged while gone. In the second episode "Reset," Emily returns to her hometown, Boston, to try to find out more about her kidnapping and starts to piece together some of the details that have eluded her since her abduction.

Emily is eager to reconnect with her family, but her return is fraught with tension and apprehension. Her husband Nick is still furious with her for leaving him with their son and then never coming back, and her former FBI colleagues seem wary of her reappearance after so much time. Emily is also struggling with her own inner demons, suffering from vivid nightmares and trying to make sense of the memory gaps that plague her.

As the mystery deepens, Emily begins to investigate her own past and uncovers some chilling clues. She discovers that her abduction was not an isolated incident, but part of a larger pattern of crimes that may still be occurring. Her determination to find out the truth puts her in direct conflict with her former colleagues at the FBI, who seem to be hiding something from her.

As Emily delves deeper into the case, she also begins to rebuild her relationships with her family. She speaks candidly to her son Flynn about her kidnapping, trying to make up for lost time and prevent their bond from being irrevocably broken. Emily also reaches out to her estranged brother Jack, who has long been suspicious of Emily's disappearance and ultimate return. The siblings tentatively reconnect, and Jack offers to help Emily with her investigation.

Meanwhile, Emily's former FBI partner Nick Durand is also investigating the crimes that took Emily. He finds a survivor of the abductions and this brings him closer to finding out who is responsible, but it also puts him in danger.

The episode "Reset" progresses at a steady pace and poses thought-provoking questions about trauma, memory, and the nature of violence. The emotions and tensions are palpable as Emily tries to connect the dots and reclaim her life, while others close to her try to come to terms with her reappearance and the fallout from her disappearance. The plot mirrors Emily's own struggle to reset her life, as she deals with the aftermath of her kidnapping and the consequences of being away for so long.

Overall, "Reset" is a gripping and emotional episode that raises the stakes for Emily's investigation and personal journey, compelling viewers to tune in for future episodes to find out what will happen next.
