Without A Trace Season 5 Episode 14 Primed

The episode "Primed" from season 5 of Without A Trace starts off with the team investigating the disappearance of a young woman named Karen Dobyns. Karen was last seen leaving her home after an argument with her boyfriend, and her car was found abandoned on the side of the road. It's clear that there was some kind of struggle, as her phone and some other belongings were found scattered on the ground nearby.

As the team starts to dig into Karen's life, they uncover a web of secrets and lies. Karen was heavily involved in a local pharmaceutical company called GenTex, where her father was a top executive. It soon becomes apparent that Karen's disappearance may be related to her work at GenTex, and the team begins to investigate the company and its employees.

Meanwhile, the tension between FBI agent Jack Malone and Samantha Spade continues to simmer. In a previous episode, Sam had revealed that she had feelings for Jack, but he had turned her down, citing their working relationship. Now, as they work together on the case, it's clear that there are still unresolved feelings between them.

As the investigation continues, the team discovers that there may be more to Karen's relationship with GenTex than they initially thought. Her father had been pushing her to take a job within the company, even though Karen seemed hesitant. They also learn that Karen had uncovered some potentially damaging information about the company's practices, and had been planning to leak it to the press.

With this new information, the team starts to zero in on the employees of GenTex, looking for any clues that might lead them to Karen's whereabouts. Their efforts are complicated by the fact that the company's CEO, Thomas Dobyns (Karen's father) is less than cooperative. After some initial resistance, he agrees to let the agents search the company's offices, but it's clear that he's hiding something.

As the investigation reaches a fever pitch, tensions continue to run high between Jack and Sam. They finally have a conversation about their feelings, and Jack confides that he's afraid of what might happen if they act on their attraction to each other. Sam reluctantly agrees to set aside her feelings for the sake of their professional relationship.

In the end, the team discovers that Karen's disappearance was related to the information she had uncovered about GenTex. They manage to track her down and rescue her before she can be harmed, and the case is brought to a satisfying conclusion. However, the fallout from the investigation will continue to haunt the characters in the episodes to come.
