Fitz assists the police department in tracking down a serial killer who claims to be in love with him. With the clock ticking and minimal evidence to move the investigation along, Fitz must find a way to locate the killer before she strikes again.

When Fitz's son, Michael, is abducted and becomes the next target for the serial killer Janice, who claims to be in love with Fitz, he must race against the clock within the next few hours to find the killer before his son joins her other victims.

Meanwhile, at Judith's insistence, Fitz attends a Gambler's Anonymous meeting, which culminates in Fitz leading the members in a betting frenzy.

Fitz also attempts to communicate with his wife Judith, which ends up being a mistake.

Fitz joins forces with the Los Angeles police department as they track a severely disturbed young couple, a junkie named Tina and a stuttering, mentally disturbed man named Sean, who have fallen in love with each other while on a murderous rampage.
