He asks Linda to remove his wings, but she refuses. Catherine  brings him onto a new case: a dehydrated corpse found in the desert where Gabriel woke up, overseen by her new lieutenant: Marcus Larson. The body turns out to be that of a wealthy man, and his close friend reveals that he paid "kidnappers" to prank the victim. While attempting to restore his wings, Usiel discovers a severed pair from Gabriel. Gabriel tries to show Catherine his true "angel face", but cannot. To lure out the "kidnappers", Larson instructs Dan to get himself kidnapped, which Gabriel arranges. However, it turns out that he is the real target, since he suspects the kidnappers to be behind his own abduction. He interrogates them and learns that the dead man was turned over to another kidnapper. The man reveals that he was hired by the "catalyst" , a mysterious crime boss, to abduct Gabriel. Gabriel,  whose wings grew back after he cut them off again,  initially suspects that God restored his wings as punishment for sending Charlotte to a void but eventually comes to believe that it was "something darker" connected to the "catalyst".

They find and arrest her, and Larson makes an agreement with Gabriel to find the "catalyst" so long as he keeps Catherine out of it.

Herrera, the cop who sent Anaita to catch him, and the two form an unlikely bond.
