Roger Clemens is very much in love with his wife. So much so, that when her car goes over a cliff, he feels he has nothing left to live for, and so he makes arrangements with an assassin to end his life – but not until Friday, so that he can make final arrangements.
But then, while in his lawyer's office, several floors above the ground, he looks out the window, and thinks he sees his wife walking along the sidewalk. It's hard to be sure, from so high up, but he is convinced that she is still alive. Now he needs to change his plans, and find his wife, but it may be too late to get word to the assassin, so he hires Blue Moon, both to contact his killer, and to protect him until Friday is over.
Friday ends, and unexpectedly, Clemens dies after all. Maddie's conscience is stricken, and she decides to give back the money Clemens paid them, because they failed to do the job they were paid to do. They contact Clemens's lawyer, who says that there's no need for Blue Moon to be so generous, that Clemens was wealthy enough that his heirs would be well taken care of.
But then, Clemens's wife arrives at Blue Moon. She says that she faked her death in order to escape from Clemens, with whom she felt "smothered", because he loved her "too much", driving away friends and family to have her all to himself. She also says that Clemens has no heirs – no parents, no children, and that she herself didn't want any of his money.
Maddie and David realize that something fishy is going on, and return to Clemens's lawyer to confront him about those supposed “heirs”.
