In the opening scene of Bosch: Legacy‘s fifth episode, Harry Bosch engages with an LAPD officer at the crime scene of Sheila Walsh. He suspects a correlation between her murder and the Gallagher family’s case and expresses his intent to help solve it. Meanwhile, Finbar McShane makes a swift exit in a van, while Rita Tedesco remains hidden following a disastrous escape plan orchestrated by Preston Borders, whose death is reported on the news. Bosch’s investigation intensifies as he discovers a burner phone stashed under his apartment. He promptly contacts Jimmy Robertson, proposing a meeting to discuss clearing his name.

Maddie finds herself in an Internal Affairs interview stemming from the call she received from Preston Borders. In an unexpected visit, Bosch reveals that he summoned an old informant, Curtis Dignan, to make Kurt Dockweiler’s time in prison miserable. He informs Maddie that Borders, upon learning of this, murdered her kidnapper to frame Bosch. Concurrently, Robertson and Lopez decide to take advantage of their time off to investigate a lead about Tedesco’s whereabouts, ultimately leading to her arrest after she surrenders. During the questioning, Tedesco denies any collusion with Borders in plotting to assassinate Dockweiler.

What Transpired with Jimmy Robertson at Episode’s Conclusion?





Even as the LAPD maintains that the Gallagher family remains missing, Bosch is convinced they likely met with foul play. Sheila uncovered financial irregularities at the Gallagher company and had confronted them about it before her demise. Alongside Mo ‘Maurice’ Bassi, Bosch theorizes that Finbar McShane acted against the Gallaghers, compelling them to disappear to construct a scheme that casts blame on Bosch. The notable ‘blankie’ retrieved in Episode 3 serves as critical evidence indicating the family’s abduction. Bosch crosses paths with Bing to investigate a BaCo truck purchased from McShane, a vehicle suspected of being used to dispose of the Gallagher family. Although scrubbed clean, the truck harbors a tracker, allowing Bosch and Mo to locate the family’s remains through drone surveillance.

Meanwhile, Honey Chandler claims victory in her campaign to become Los Angeles’ District Attorney, while Maddie and Vasquez zero in on the criminals behind the recent follow-home robberies. An intriguing twist reveals that Albert is actually Vasquez’s cousin, a detail disclosed by the show’s creator earlier this year. Despite this, Vasquez remains unaware of Albert’s connection. In the closing scenes, Robertson meets with Scott Anderson to discuss the findings of their inquiry regarding Bosch’s potential ties to Preston Borders in the Dockweiler murder. After a discussion over drinks with Bosch, Robertson mentions that he shared the case notes with Anderson, probing Bosch about his relationship with Dignan. In a shocking finale, as Robertson orders food at a stand, a masked assailant appears, holds him at gunpoint, and opens fire.
