Season 3 - Episode 24: Love Sick

== Synopsis ==
Bjorn and Sammie investigate why the fight broke out. They find that the smaller man is acting unusually aggressively, even while in police custody. Bjorn finds receipts in his pockets for cotton candy and a face-painting tent. Sammie looks through his memories to try and figure out what happened but doesn't see anything unusual. All she can tell is that the farther she goes back in the day, the less angry and erratic he seems. She realizes that his heart is beating way too fast but there's nothing she can do to stop it. The man's heart beats until it explodes and he drops dead. Bjorn and Sammie rush toward the festival to try and narrow down where this is coming from. They update Henry who decides to head to the morgue to meet up with Judson and investigate the body of the man. Sammie finds a pot of pink paint in the face-painting tent is contaminated with Rift magic and points it out to Bjorn. Bjorn confiscates the paint and shuts down the tent while getting information on where their supply is coming from.

== Summary ==
After the fight breaks out, Sammie walks over to the woman to make sure she's okay. Bjorn observes to see if there's anything abnormal going on here or if it's a normal fight. Sammie asks the woman if she's okay and the woman says she's fine. She says the smaller man who instigated the fight is acting unusual. The bigger man tries to stop the fight after seeing a cop coming around the corner but the smaller man isn't having it. Bjorn steps in to break them up. The smaller man accuses Bjorn of also wanting the woman and launches himself at him. Bjorn is able to easily lay him out and pin him to the ground. 
Bjorn recognizes the police officer as the one he saw jamming out to music in front of Target before the car bomb went off. Bjorn keeps him pinned and updates the officer on the situation while the officer puts him in handcuffs. Bjorn goes to talk to the larger guy after the cop has the smaller man under control. The larger man isn't sure what happened. The woman leads the bigger man off to the festival's medical tent. 
The smaller man is struggling against his restraints still but the cop is able to keep him under control. Bjorn and Sammie exchange the information they learned from the witnesses. The smaller man is literally foaming at the mouth as Bjorn walks up to ask the police officer if he can check his pockets for any information. Bjorn finds some receipts for vendors at the festival and a folded-up cardboard cone from cotton candy. He also notices that the man's face is painted with small hearts. Bjorn also notices that the man's pupils are huge like he is being affected by something. Bjorn points this out to the police officer and tells them to treat this like an incident involving drugs. The police officer calls for an ambulance. 
Bjorn and Sammie wait with the police officer until the ambulance arrives. While they wait, they text everything they've found to Henry. Henry uses this information to narrow down his research to about 2 or 3 options, but there's not enough to pick definitively. He recommends Bjorn and Sammie ask to have the smaller man tested to see if there's anything that may give them a clue. Bjorn talks to the police officer about getting the man tested at the hospital and keeping them in the loop. While the officer is distracted, Sammie looks back through the man's memories. She goes back to see everything he's done at the festival. She can feel that he seems to be under the influence of something that is making his heart race and causing him to be angry and that the farther back in the day she goes, the less intense the feeling is. As she pulls out of the memories, she realizes that the man's heart is beating dangerously fast. 
Sammie tells the police officer that she thinks the man is having a major medical issue and tries to help the man to sit down. She places herself between him and the police officer to block the officer's view to heal him. She feels something resisting her healing magic but is able to lower his pulse slightly. The man seems to lose consciousness and they lower him down onto his side. Sammie feels one last strong, thump in the man's chest and then doesn't feel anything else. Sammie puts her fingers on his neck and doesn't feel a pulse. The ambulance arrives and the police officer hands the man over to the paramedics. 
Bjorn and Sammie run off toward the festival. Sammie texts Henry and tells him that the man died. She suggests he either meet them at the festival or head to the morgue to meet with Judson. Henry decides to go to the morgue. Bjorn says they should backtrack and start with the most recent place the man visited. They head to the cotton candy stand but don't find anything at the stand itself. She can see a small trail of magical essence like someone passed through. Bjorn asks the owner if she saw the man and gives a description. The owner says that he did and that he was acting a little aggressive, almost leaving without paying. 
Bjorn and Sammie check out the face painting tent next. Sammie notices that one of the paint pots being used at the station is filled with green Rift magic. Sammie points it out to Bjorn. Bjorn pulls out his FBI badge and tells the woman that he needs to ask her some questions. The woman says that she remembers the man and that a friend forced him to get his face painted as a dare. She also describes the friend. Bjorn tells her that he'll need to take the pot of pink paint as it's contaminated and that they'll need to shut down the face-painting tent. The girl says their paint was just refilled recently and Bjorn asks from who and where. The girl explains the company Festipaint has a van nearby with their supplies.
