Maddie and Athena investigate a case surrounding an abducted mother and child as Hen and Karen learn more about Mara's family history. Meanwhile, Eddie grapples with unresolved feelings for someone from his past.
Tropes:
- Diving Save: Chimney performs one with the baby of the kidnapper as he tries to flee the car crash.
- Doppelgänger Gets Same Sentiment: Kim strongly resembles Eddie's dead wife Shannon note . Eddie becomes infatuated with her as a result, which causes him to cheat on his current girlfriend Marisol. He even goes so far as to leave Christopher with Buck so that he can supposedly go on a date with Marisol, only for it to turn out that his date is actually with Kim.
- Lethal Chef: Downplayed, but Buck is having trouble with a new lasagna recipe. Eddie seemingly foresaw this, as he had already ordered a pizza to be delivered to Buck's apartment before he dropped Christopher off.
- Spotting the Thread: Chimney is able to deduce the man and the baby in the crash is the kidnapper and his child via his Affectionate Nickname for her: Sweat Pea. Chimney had already heard the man's voice calling the baby that on the recording of the original 911 call that Maddie was listening to.
- Stalker with a Crush: Eddie in a downplayed way towards Kim. Played Straight with the kidnapper who wants a wife/mom for his (also abducted) kid.
- Trauma Button: The call with the woman and her baby being kidnapped in the car by her partner is this for Maddie, a survivor of domestic violence.
- In a way, Kim is this for Eddie as she resembles his dead wife Shannon.
