Part 2 of 2: Goren's misstep while working a victim opens him to press scrutiny and ushers an old adversary back into his life.

After the death of a plastic surgeon, the detectives begin to look into his questionable background and find out his son may have his own unsavory shortcomings.

Young lovers Woody Sage and Avery Hubert, both married to spouses twice their age, run away together and vanish mysteriously before reaching their destination. Kathy Jarrow Sage, a former police detective and old flame of Captain Ross, reports her husband's disappearance and asks Major Case to help locate him. Detectives Goren's and Eames' first impression is a carjacking gone bad, but they soon figure out that he was not only alone, but the carjacking might just be a cover to buy time. When Avery's parents, who were expecting her and Woody, report them missing, Goren and Eames investigate the possibility that, even though the two left together under their own steam, they may have met with foul-play. Avery's violent husband, Roy, looks good for the crime, but looks can be deceiving.
