However, his unorthodox ways will help uncover the culprits in the workplace theft case, along with a secret affair.
Chad discovers the thrill of the chase when he has serial debtor, Minnie Smith in his sights. But she gets the better of him, again. While Chad doesn’t succeed in serving Minnie, he does succeed in taking her out for dinner, where he discovers a belly dancer, who looks a lot like the workers’ compensation claimant he has had under surveillance.

Claire’s not thrilled about the lack of consultation by Jim – but what does it matter, they’ll be off on their boat trip soon anyway…
