LatestSue has mixed feelings when she's offered a promotion in New York and must decide whether to leave behind her friends and hometown or to give up a great job opportunity. While she decides, the team hunts down a hacker who has taken control of Jack's credit card.
Based on a true story, this family-friendly series follows the adventures of a young, hearing impaired woman who has a special gift and goes to work for the FBI in Washington, D.C. She's one hard-headed, soft-hearted woman whose talent for reading lips helps crack crimes and bag the bad guys in places listening devices can't penetrate. With her hearing-ear dog, Levi, Sue's a glutton for jeopardy – and there's (almost) nothing she won't do to bring notorious criminals to justice. This remarkable, edge-of-your-seat drama is an inspiring tribute to the ability of the human spirit to overcome adversity and achieve great things.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Real Sue Thomas consulted on the show and appears in the finale as a diner waitress. She lip-read for FBI agents in actual 1970s cases.
One of the first primetime series with a deaf lead actor, predating Switched at Birth by nearly a decade — yet somehow nobody remembers it.
