Sent with love

Casey is trying to find out who keeps sending unwanted bouquets of flowers to Myra Brenton. Flaw is looking for a house that disappeared into thin air.

## Episode Summary

The episode starts with Flaw peering down a deep square hole in the ground through a pair of binoculars, wondering out loud where the building could have gone. He is suddenly hit by a tennis ball in the back of his head. Upon turning around, he sees Sasha Crow and Thomas, who he had first met in the previous episode, “Hello, Detective”. They have a dog on a leash with them. Sasha approaches him, exaggeratedly talking about what a coincidence them meeting here is. Flaw asks them if they had been stalking him, which Sasha and Thomas promptly deny, and after that the three engage in an intense stare down. Thomas breaks under the pressure and admits that Sasha pickpocketed Flaw the last time they saw each other and attached a GPS tracker to his phone. After handing Thomas his phone and demanding to remove the tracker from it, Flaw asks them why they needed a dog to disguise themselves for this ‘convenient meeting’, and Thomas tells him that the dog is his and he just needed to walk it. The scene ends after the said dog jumps down the square hole, chasing after a butterfly, as the three stare at it in shock.

Meanwhile, Casey is drinking tea in an apartment that is filled to the brim with flower bouquets. The owner of this apartment is Myra Brenton, who is telling Casey about how she had been getting flower deliveries from an unknown sender for the last two months. Casey asks why she hadn’t just thrown the flowers away, to which Myra answers that she felt bad for them. Casey frowns and says that she doesn’t understand the sentiment. She stands to leave the apartment, telling Myra that she will look into the case. Myra offers her to take a bouquet with her, insinuating that Casey should give it to a man she likes. Casey rolls her eyes but takes a bouquet nevertheless.

Back in the US, Flaw and Sasha are climbing down the square hole with Thomas cheering them on from above. They reach the bottom and the dog runs up to them, barking. Sasha says that it wants to lead them somewhere, which Flaw dismisses, instead leaning down to inspect the ground, but then Sasha grabs his sleeve and forcibly drags him off with her. The dog leads them to a hatch, which is covered in dirt and wasn’t visible from above. Sasha and Flaw share a look, and then go to open it.

The hatch reveals a ladder leading further down. The two climb down, and after a brief search for the light switch, they see that they are in cozy living room. Flaw realizes that this is where the house must have gone. Sasha comments on the strong flower smell. They decide that they should follow wherever the scent leads.

Casey is, once again, in the library, researching flower language. Lieutenant Morry comes into the room carrying a tall stack of books and puts them down on a table. He asks what got the detective so interested in flowers all of a sudden, and Casey explains that she suspects this to be a threat, with flowers sending some sort of a message. However, she had stumbled into a problem: none of the flowers from the bouquet appear in any books. Lieutenant suggests that maybe those are a new breed and goes to smell them, when one of the flowers opens up and bites his nose. He yelps and jumps away. Casey curiously sticks a pen into the bouquet, unconcerned by Morry wailing in the background, and closely inspects the carnivorous plant. Unlike a Venus flytrap, this flower has sharper teeth and small tendrils, which grab onto the pen, snatch it away from Casey’s hands and consume it. She hums and jolts something down in her notebook while the lieutenant continues lamenting his bitten nose. Suddenly, the plant starts coughing and ink starts leaking out of it, and after a short moment it wilts. Casey concludes that ink must be poisonous to it and closes her notebook. She then grabs her phone and makes a call.

Flaw and Sasha enter a greenhouse, where a lot of plants that look similar to the ones in Casey’s bouquet are growing. One of them is particularly large, and Sasha approaches it, turning around to tell Flaw that she had never seen this breed before. Behind her, a vine starts to rise in the air, and Flaw quickly drags Sasha out of the way before it can touch her, but the vine snatches him instead. Sasha panics and looks around, noticing a gardening spade. She grabs it and starts cutting the vine around Flaw, but that only makes the vine rise up in the air. Flaw is now above ground, his feet tangling in the air. He tells Sasha to run away, but before she can answer the greenhouse’s door slams open and Thomas and his dog barge in. The dog starts barking, runs up to the plant and bites down on its stem. The vines loosen and Flaw drops to the floor. Thomas then catches the vine before it can slither away, and stabs it with a pen. The plant recoils and, after some wriggling, becomes limp. Flaw asks him how he learnt to do that, and Thomas tosses him his phone, saying that he got a call. Thomas then tells the other two that he’s got enough adrenaline from that to last a decade, sways and then promptly faints.

The scene cuts to Casey sitting in Detective Terra’s office, twirling a withered flower in her hand. Lieutenant Morry asks how she figured out who was sending the flowers. Casey explains that the missing house that Flaw had been investigating had belonged to one Myra Brendon, an aspiring biologist. However, while she had been moving to the UK an error occurred in the postal system, and her address got mixed up with Myra Brenton’s, and all of the experimental flowers that the biologist had been working on got sent to an unassuming citizen. Lieutenant Morry congratulates her on her work and, after an awkward pause, asks the detective whether he’s going to turn into a flower now that he had got bitten by one. Casey sighs and puts her head into her hands.
