Holmes has a flu as the episode opens, but that's not enough to keep him from helping to investigate an unknown body found in an abandoned building. He does some show-offy detecting to identify the body as belonging to Trent Annunzio, a professor at Garrison University. Having established that, it is easy to demonstrate that Annunzio had been spending a lot of time in illicit Chinese gambling dens. And those all have really good security cameras, so they learn that he was killed by Raoul Ramirez. It's all going pretty smoothly!
But that's not the whole story! Because Raoul was hired by a mysterious figure that could have been one of Trent's assistants who was having an affair with Trent's wife. He even confesses! But even that is not the whole story, because Trent's wife tearfully admits that they were not legally married. And Trent was physically and psychologically sadistic to her, making her perform weird acts on video. But the videos have vanished.
Finally, Holmes puts together the plot. Trent had himself killed because he was dying of inoperable eye cancer and wanted to frame his assistant and have his wife deported. Pretty complicated! He's able to prove all this, because before he went to Raoul Ramirez, Trent went to another guy who was more suspicious and had hidden cameras. This show has a lot of hidden cameras, doesn't it? The assistant and the wife get married to keep her in the country and, I guess, live happily ever after.
While this is going on, Watson is going out to Rikers to see an ex-boyfriend who's been getting hopped up on heroin. He's accused of crashing his car, but he can't remember if he did it. Holmes helps Watson determine that he didn't, so she gets him off. Then the episode ends with Watson and Holmes waiting for him at the 59th Street Clinic, even though they know he probably won't show up.
