Despite the supervisor's attempts to cover up the crime, the detectives do not give up on their search for the truth. Along the way, they learn more about Marisol's life as an undocumented immigrant and the many challenges she faced as a result.

"Alien" is a compelling and emotionally charged episode that highlights the challenges faced by undocumented immigrants and the difficulties that come with investigating crimes against them.
