| "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.

| 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.

| Outside Judd's, Holmes explains to Cassie that the formula seller was likely an undercover officer. They're met by Detective Owen Calabrissi and Detective Farrad who explain they are assigned to Heather's case, that the service Heather was working for dealt in stolen formula, that she was their informant and was killed when discovered. At the NJ State Police HQ, Calabrissi and Farrad introduce Captain Gregson, Bell and Watson to undercover Detective Ocasio while Holmes and Cassie wait outside. Using an evidence wall, Calabrissi explains the "baby formula mafia" who are mainly supplied by shoplifters. Heather was setting up a meeting between Ocasio and Sagehorn in which Ocasio would record Sagehorn acknowledging she was buying stolen formula. Their operation blown with Heather's murder and Sagehorn having an alibi, Farrad welcomes any help while Calabrissi questions why the NYPD is interested in the case.

| While watching the detectives, Holmes tells Cassie that he was able to gather all the information Cassie used on Heather's background from online sources. Accusing her of running a con, Cassie says that Holmes doesn't understand her childhood isolation and guesses that since he came from a rich family, he had plenty of social interaction growing up. At the Brownstone, Holmes has created hierarchies of the formula mafia and a drug gang responsible for a murder Cassie was connected to years before. Having found no connection between the two and that the gang didn't know Cassie, Watson thinks Holmes has a soft spot for Cassie. Holmes admits that Cassie has a unique talent which he'd like to see used for good. Looking for Cassie true intention at the halfway house she stays at, Holmes discovers that all of Cassie's web searches involve unsolved murders.
