In Plain Sight season 1 episode 12, titled "A Fine Meth," follows Mary Shannon (Mary McCormack), a United States Marshal who works for the witness protection program, as she protects a man named Roger Paxton (guest star David Keith) who has information regarding a drug cartel. The episode starts with Roger being abducted by the cartel, leaving Mary to go undercover to get him back.
Mary's team, including her partner Marshall Mann (Fred Weller), originally believed that Roger was just a run-of-the-mill informant, but as they investigate further, they realize that he's actually a chemist who has developed a new, highly addictive form of methamphetamine. This makes him valuable not only to the cartel but also to his own team who want to use his product to take down the drug epidemic in New Mexico.
As Mary goes undercover, she adopts the persona of "Daisy," a drug dealer whom Roger had previously worked with. Mary meets with the cartel's leader, a man named Miguel (guest star José Zúñiga), who doesn't trust her at first. However, she impresses him with her knowledge of the drug trade, and he eventually takes her to where they're holding Roger.
Mary and Roger manage to escape the cartel, but they soon realize that they're being pursued. The chase is on, and Mary has to figure out how to keep herself and Roger safe while also bringing down the cartel. Meanwhile, her personal life is also in turmoil as she's been struggling with the decision to move in with her boyfriend and leave behind her mother and sister who depend on her for support.
The episode reaches its climax in an intense shootout where Mary must decide who to trust and who to take down. The episode ends with Mary's personal life taking a surprising turn, adding another layer to her already complicated existence.
Overall, "A Fine Meth" is a thrilling episode that showcases Mary's strength and intelligence in both her professional and personal life. The episode introduces new characters and storylines while also providing a satisfying conclusion to the plot.
