Mahong: "Hmm, you go back and tell Mark to come find me, I'll take a look around first."
Jimmy got into his car and drove away, albeit slowly, taking the opportunity to glance at the houses along the road to see if there was anything to discover.
Jimmy is now the head of the Homicide Team. Even if Ruiz requests to handle two cases together, Mahong won't directly assign Jimmy to investigate. Though there's an age difference, they don't differ much in rank anymore; both are heads of the team. Jimmy is only one administrative level lower, so it's most appropriate to borrow Mark to assist with the investigation. The key issue is that Mahong's people are also gone, so he needs to find outside help.
Jones is hospitalized for a gunshot wound, Diana is still on leave, and Neil is just a private consultant without enforcement authority. It's pitiful that the white-collar team only has Mahong left.
