Storyline

Conner Flint (9), only son of widow Elisabeth 'Beth' Flint, one of Patrick's former psychic scam victims, has been kidnapped from his school bus stop. Beth refuses to believe Jane that paranormal gifts are fake, so she pushes him to collaborate with her present 'spiritual adviser', Nate Glass. Apart from Nathan, the team looks for suspects in the family, including Beth's present partner Deke Hutton and Conner's step-brother Jonathan Flint. Prime suspect on account of the MO is yet unidentified serial killer 'Balloon Man', so called after his lure, but he strangulates within 12 hours. Written by KGF Vissers

Nate Glass: Son of a bitch! Trying to steal my action?
Patrick Jane: Mr. Glass, nice to finally meet you. And you got no action. You're a disgrace to the profession. That contact you faked with Connor - weak. Weak!
Nate Glass: Bite me. That gag was seamless. Did you see how she fell for it?
[Glass chuckles. Then in a high voice]
Nate Glass: Oh Mo Mo. Mo Mo.
[Glass chuckles again]
Patrick Jane: Thanks that should do it.
[Jane pulls out a recorder]
