Wanted: America

When a rising star triathlete is found violently murdered, the team chases after one of her teammates and his girlfriend. Also, Remy reunites with a true crime show producer from his past.


Tropes:

  • The Family That Slays Together: Mavis' father, sister, and paternal uncle stop at nothing to get her out of the country.
  • Friend in the Press: Em McAdoo is an ambitious and highly dedicated former reporter who now works for a true crime documentary series and an old flame of Remy's. The two had this sort of relationship back when Remy was in Las Vegas, however, things soured when to get the story out first Em released details before the FBI had arrested the criminal leading to them successfully going on the run. Nevertheless despite his reluctance Remy agrees to let her assist with the Manhunt for Mavis Kennedy, knowing she won't give up and seeing the value of having her contacts in their assistance, in exchange for exclusive footage and interviews. Following being trapped in a cabin overnight together, the two manage to patch up their relationship with Em apologising for abusing his trust and Remy admitting the crook would probably have escaped them even without her breaking the story.
