In the previous episode, viewers followed the team as they got blindsided while investigating the murderer of the young boys. With the killer still at large, the team had a hard time tracking him down because even the police were wrong about his identity. Previous speculations that pedophile Willem Van Bergen (Josef Atlin) was to be blamed for the mutilation deaths of the boy prostitutes turned out to be false.

Titled "Ascension," episode 6 also found former Captain Connor still stung after Theodore Roosevelt (Brian Geraghty) dismissed him from duty for allegedly duping the commissioner as to the whereabouts of Van Bergen. As a result, he took it upon himself to track down the killer and shot him upon finding him. It turned out, however, that Bergen was not the serial killer behind the killings in New York. It remains to be seen in the upcoming episode if the team will finally be able to identify who the real murderer is.

"The Alienist" airs Mondays at 9 p.m. EST on TNT.
