Jack Roberts is a copycat serial killer and one of the staff of famed criminologist Dr. Victoria Nolan. Nolan was repeatedly raped by her father, resulting in Jack’s conception before he was given away for adoption. After Nolan killed her parents and went on to become a serial killer in her own right, she found Jack, trained him to murder by starting with animals, and them brought him along to participate in her crimes. To cover up the truth, Nolan hired Jack as part of her private staff.
Nolan wanted revenge on the Boston police for arresting and later killing Charles Hoyt, a serial killer she interviewed for pointers and grew to establish an acquaintanceship with. In an exhibition of her recently book release, covering Hoyt and two other serial killers, Nolan directed Jack to kill two police officers and stage them on what would’ve been a mock-up of Hoyt’s past crimes. Jack then killed an annoyed detective who was suspected of the crimes, modeled off the next killer in Nolan’s book.
While the team tracked the long history of the duo’s crimes due to the brands they left on people they murdered, Nolan and Jack held Detective Vince Korsak captive in his own basement, hoping to torture him like the last killer in the book, while they each had alibis of leaving the house while the other handled their respective roles in stonewalling the police and arranging their getaway. Jack also bragged the police didn’t track all the killings they were guilty of. The team by this point knew Nolan and Jack were the killers, as they knew Nolan killed her parents and found out she changed her name, so they rushed over to rescue Korsak. Korsak, in the meantime, drove a wedge between mother and son by calling out how Nolan orders Jack around. Korsak got Jack to stop torturing him and fight with Nolan, who shot Jack in a rage. Jane Rizzoli shot Nolan in her shoulder and arrested her, while Jack was narrowly saved by medical response.
The mother and son duo were incarcerated for their shared crimes.
