Jay: Rio's identical twin?
Gab: That's what it says... Peter Marshall is Rio's brother...
Jay: I gotta tell Rio... *Heading to the elevator, pulling out phone* Rio... We need to talk... DISCREET! Now!
*Squad room*
Rio: *Look of confusion on face, hangs up phone, whisper* discreet?
Ola: What did you say?
Rio: *Still looking confused* Jay just used discreet...
Dom: Discreet?! Is it case related?
Rio: I don't know... She just said discreet... *whisper* now...
Ola: Why would she be using discreet?
Rio: I don't know... *Gets up and walks away toward the back of the station*
Ola: Dom?
Dom: *Shakes head* I don't know...
*Emergency stairwell: off limits unless emergency*
Jay: *Holds up a resent picture of Peter Marshall for his social media to show Rio* Do you know this man?
Rio: Ya, that's me right? *Squinting eyes* My visions a little off today. I lost my contacts...
Jay: Rio, I need you to concentrate! *Holds cell phone light over picture* Is this you?
Rio: Ya, but I've never dyed my hair pink... Did Dom photoshop my picture and put it somewhere stupid?
Jay: Do you have any siblings?
Rio: No, I'm an only child... You know that... Why?
Jay: Are you sure?
Rio: I'm quite positive. No one else has ever grown up in my house except me...
Jay: This isn't a game Rio!
Rio: Jay, you're freaking me out... It's just a stupid picture. I'll talk to Dontae, it will not happen again. I promise.
Jay: Rio... *face covered with sadness and frustration*
Rio: Jay? What's going on?
Jay: *Turns off cell light and places it in her back pocket, holds up picture to Rio again* This mans name is Peter Marshall. He's you brother...
Rio: What? I don't have a brother...
Jay: *Looks worried, places hand on Rio's shoulder* Yes you do... Did you parents ever mention a possibility that you could have a sibling?
Rio: No! I'm an only child. There has never been a sibling. It's just me. It's always been just me. I think you're mistaken...
Jay: He's your identical twin... DNA says so...
Rio: DNA? What do you mean DNA? How do you have his DNA? Is he looking for me or something? I need to talk to him!
Jay: Rio... He's... He's in autopsy... Peter Marshall is our murder victim... I'm so sorry...
Rio: No, no, no. I need to call my parents. This is crazy...
Jay: Your parents are already on the way... When the get here, you'll be escorting them to the conference room... I need to talk to them...
