After a number of years of marriage, a vice cop finds out his wife was a con artist. She claims she gave it up when they were married, but he can't accept that. He demands that she never see their daughter, then about 7, again or he will send her to prison. He moves and changes his occupation. In the present, his wife returns and they have a loud argument in which the daughter learns that the nice lady is really her mom. She was told her mother was killed in an accident. She is very upset and the episode ends with her mother vanishing. On Diagnosis Murder, the security guard comes to Los Angeles to identify a body thought to be his ex-wife, but it is instead one of her friends, also a con artist. Their boss thinks mom stole the bonds from the last scam and wants them back. To protect his daughter, the security guard plans a scam whereby they will 'sell' some equipment to the hospital and the loot will repay the boss and call it quits--but will it? w.
