Plot

"The best liars often make the best lie detectors." — Holmes to Cassie

At the 11th Precinct, Detective Bell, Holmes and Watson show Dalton Weller evidence that he used a yoga ball filled with carbon dioxide to kill a woman he was having an affair with. Returning to The Brownstone, Holmes and Watson are surprised to find Cassie Lenue waiting for them on the steps. An incredible liar, they discuss Cassie's involvement in a murder and fraud impersonating a girl to gain her trust fund, for which she was imprisoned. Inside, Cassie asks a skeptical Holmes and Watson to find the murderer of Heather Foley, a foster mother, who was shot outside a kid's clothing store. Cassie claims Heather was her foster mother in an unofficial capacity. Holmes believes Cassie is lying but she still convinces them to look into Heather's case. Having asked for Bell's help, at the precinct, Bell tells Watson that Heather was shot with a 9mm pistol and he's reached out to detectives in NJ who were assigned the case.

It's been a long time.

In exchange for looking into the case, Holmes tells Cassie she'll stay at the Brownstone, be under constant surveillance and gives her a phone which can only be used to call Holmes or Watson. He still believes she has an ulterior motive and says he'll find out what it is. Cassie and Holmes visit Heather's husband, Judd, who treats Cassie as an old friend even though they'd met only a week before. Cassie explains that Judd wasn't married to Heather when Cassie knew her. Judd reveals that weeks before Heather was murdered, she often left the house at night after receiving phone calls which Heather said was for her job. She worked for a baby formula service which Holmes remarks doesn't explain why she left at night. Judd believes she was having an affair but looking at Heather's computer, Holmes finds an email to a Meredith Sagehorn, Heather's buyer, in which Heather questions whether a formula seller was a thief.

There's a whole market for it.
