The Perfect match

Flaw is looking for a missing husband. Casey is looking for a missing wife. Only one problem - Flaw lost his phone.

## Episode Summary

The episode starts with Flaw knocking on an apartment door. An anxious man opens it and hastily welcomes the detective inside and tells him to wait. The flat is in a state of disarray, boxes and photos littered throughout it. While he waits, Flaw looks something up on his phone, and he is then interrupted by by the anxious man. He introduces himself as John Tailor, and tells Flaw that his wife, Linda Tailor, is missing, and that he suspects she might have been kidnapped. He then grabs Flaw and says that they don’t have any time to waste, and so the two leave the apartment in a hurry. As the door closes behind them, the camera pans over to Flaw’s phone that he had forgotten on the table.

Cut to John Tailor speedily walking down the street, Flaw barely catching up to him. John is rapidly talking about his wife’s family hot liking their marriage, and so when she left for a business trip to the UK they must have snatched the opportunity to kidnap her and keep her away from John. Flaw perks up at the mention of the UK, searches his pockets for his phone and realizes that he doesn’t have it. He tells John that they need to come back for it, but the man is having none of it, as his wife potentially is in danger, and the two run off screen.

Casey is meeting up with a client on a street corner. A woman greets the detective and thanks her for coming on a such an urgent notice. They shake hands and the woman says her name is Linda Tailor. They make their way down the street and enter a small house, while Linda tells Casey that her husband has gone missing. Casey asks some questions about him, and, after she finds out that both Linda and him are from the US, she tries to phone Flaw, but the call goes to voicemail. Then there is a loud crash from the other room of the house, and Casey hurries into it to see Linda holding a letter, a broken cup of tea on the floor by her feet. Linda, tears welling up in the corners of her eyes, wordlessly shows Casey the letter, and Casey reads it out loud. It says that Linda’s husband is being held captive by her family, and that they won’t let him go until their marriage has been officially broken. Casey says that she will attempt to negotiate with the family, and so Linda concludes that they need to travel to her family estate.

Meanwhile, Flaw and John are standing on a porch of a fancy house. Flaw knocks on the door, but no one answers. John, fidgeting nervously, suggests that they break in. Flaw looks over at him doubtfully, but concedes that it is for the greater good and drops down to his knees to break open the lock on the front door.

The house that they enter has high ceilings and several spiral staircases going up and down. Flaw curiously inspects the photos on the walls, while John calls out for his wife Linda. Flaw points out that all of the pictures show the exact same woman, and John confirms that it is his wife. The woman in the pictures in question looks to be the same one as Linda Tailor we saw over in the UK.

John starts to nervously walk in circles, lamenting about his precious Linda, when he trips over a poorly placed floorboard, and grabs onto a nearby coat rack to avoid falling over. It gives under his weight, and a sound of a moving mechanism can be heard. Flaw looks around and finds that one of the stairwells turned to reveal a secret passageway downstairs. John, yelling about saving his wife, immediately runs down the stairs, and Flaw sets after him.

As Flaw reaches the end of the stairwell, a view of the large basement opens up to us. It is dimly lit by tall tubes. Their glass is foggy with condensation, and so we can’t see what is inside apart from vaguely humanoid silhouettes. John is frantically going from tube to tube, wiping the glass and muttering. Flaw approaches one of the tubes carefully and wipes the condensation away with his sleeve. Inside of the tube, floating in unidentifiable liquid, is Linda Tailor. Flaw backs away from the tube until his back hits another one, he quickly turns around and sees that another Linda Tailor is inside it. He finds John with his eyes and forcibly smiles, joking that they’ve found his wife, at least. John shakes his head and says that none of those are his wife.

Back in the UK, an ominous melody plays as the camera pans over to Casey and her client Linda standing across a tall building surrounded by a barbed wire fence. A lightning strikes the top of it and Linda jumps. Casey is looking at the front door of the house through a pair of binoculars, and Linda whispers to her that she knows where a back door is. The two then sneak around the fence, find a gap in it, and then enter the house through a hidden door in the bushes. The inside of the house is identical to the one we saw in the US, except there is a crowd of people standing in the middle of the large room. They haven’t noticed the detective and Linda arriving yet.

All of the people are dressed and look exactly the same - like Linda Tailor. Casey looks on in shock as they whisper among each other and point at the man they have tied to a chair in the middle of their circle. Linda - the one who is Casey’s client - gasps and says that the man is her husband. Casey then asks why all of them look the same. Linda waves a hand and says that it runs in the family. She then asks if the detective has a plan. Casey suggests that Linda should distract the other Lindas while Casey frees the husband. Linda immediately agrees and bravely steps out of their cover to confront the other copies of her.

She starts monologuing about love, and how it’s wrong of the Lindas to deny them marriage. One of the Lindas says that it’s not fair that she got married while the other ones didn’t; after all, they all look the same. Our Linda retorts that it isn’t looks that matter, it’s what is on inside. Throughout the speech, Casey has been sneakily untying the husband, who, as soon as he’s free, shouts Linda’s name (making all of the other Lindas turn to look at him) and runs into his wive’s arms. He tells her how much he loves her, and then they kiss. The other Lindas start tearing up, and agree to let them keep being married, since love really is beautiful. Casey has a mildly disgusted look on her face, but says she is glad that everything has ended well. Then she adds that she will have to arrest all the Lindas for kidnapping.

Cut to the US as Flaw and John are walking back to John’s flat. John is weeping, and Flaw is trying to comfort him, saying that he has a contact in the UK that could help them. As soon as they enter the flat, sounds of something being cooked and a kettle whistling can be heard. John gasps and excitedly runs into the kitchen, and sees that his wife, Linda Tailor, is there. They hug and kiss, and John asks where she’d been. Linda explains that her plane flight got delayed, and her phone run out of battery so she couldn’t call him. She then playfully chastises John for being so worried, and, upon noticing Flaw standing awkwardly behind them, she hands him his forgotten phone, asking if it’s his. Flaw nods, takes the phone and says goodbye to the couple. Linda apologizes for taking the detectives time, but Flaw shakes his head and leaves. After exiting the apartment, he immediately gets a call from Casey. They simultaneously say that the other won’t ever believe what just happened to them.
