Invisible Mom

Previously on "Eye Candy"

You're my sister, not my parent.

You and Ben have that kind of love

that steals a piece of your heart.

You have to get back out there.

When was I ever the kind of girl who used an app to meet guys?

You called me Eye Candy?

You're dating stalkers now?

I had to kill Ben.

We are just getting started.

Right this way.

I have you booked for the Shambhala facial--

that includes a head and shoulder massage.

We'll begin face up.

I'll let you get settled, and we'll be right back.

I've had problem skin my entire life.

It's really oily, always breaking out.

You can probably see the scars.

Skin.

You can't make it better by smearing it with creams and lotions.

But, I'll fix it for you. Fix it for good.

You never lie.

The camera doesn't lie, either.

It sees everything.

Every follicle, every frown,

every micro expression on your face.

You miss your boyfriend.

Don't worry, you'll forget about him soon.

I promise.

You need time.

I'll give you time.

I wish I could give you everything.

I wish I could touch you.

Hey you.

Hi Candy.

Lindy.

Right.

We've been playing phone tag for two weeks.

I don't like phone tag.

Work's been crazy.

Sorry, but I'm here now.

Yes, yes you are.

Do you want a taste?

What's wrong?

Nothing.

Nothing?

So, that look's got nothing to do

with the fact that Lindy's on the dance floor

with one of the creeps she met on Flirtual?

I know what she's doing.

And what is that?

She's trying to find Ben's killer.

Okay, that doesn't sound healthy at all.

You wanna go?

Yeah.

Are you serious?

What the hell is she doing with him?

She has no idea what just happened.

She's gonna screw this whole thing up and get herself killed.

One sec.

Hello, Mom.

What are you doing?

Kinda busy right now. What's up?

What's up?

Is the last girl that Reese Hennessy met off Flirtual

was found dead this afternoon with her face melted off.

Oh, no.

That's terrible.

Yes, it is.

I'd advise you to get out of there now.

Okay then.

Thank you.

Everything OK?

Yeah, um...

my mom's just been ill recently,

and, um... Yeah, I-- I hate to do this,

I just-- I have to get going.

I can't say I'm not disappointed.

Look, I'm headed out of town over the weekend.

I want more of you before I go.

I'll let you know.

You have fun?

Not particularly.

Did it look like I was having fun?

Looks like your obsession with finding Ben's killer

is messing up our surveillance.

Then, why don't you arrest him already?

We were about to, but, you got in the way.

You need to let us do our job, Lindy.

That girl today?

She'd still be alive if you had done your job.

That's not fair.

I know you're angry.

Look, I'm angry, too.

Ben and I were friends long before we were cops.

Our families grew up together.

You know the look his mother gave me at his funeral?

Regret.

Regret she had ever trusted me with his life.

You know the look I got?

Blame.

You're up early.

Yep.

It's hard to sleep when your best friend's out every night

doing what with who-knows-who.

I'm fine.

Really? - Yes.

I've just been walking around all night.

It's not anything you need to think about.

Okay. Then, what is this?

You're watching the guys from Flirtual.

I think you're thinking about it a lot.

You've been following them, haven't you?

Yes.

Why were you hiding this from me?

Because I didn't want you to worry.

Okay, well, I'm worried! This is worried!

It is not your fault what happened to Ben.

Yes, it is!

And if any of the creeps that I dated killed Ben,

I'm going to find out.

Why should you? You are not some superhuman person, okay?

You are just Lindy. Let the police handle it.

You know I can't trust them.

I'm just gonna go out on a limb here,

and say that romancing a murderer

is not exactly a good idea.

Well, it's the only idea I have.

Well, it's not a good one.

Look, I know I might be obsessing

over something that doesn't exist,

that these could just be two normal guys.

But, I need to do this, or else I will go insane.

I'm not gonna lie and say that I approve.

Thanks.

Is that the Ethiopian or the organic?

The Bolivian.

They have a secret stash.

I just love coffee. Live off it.

You must really like this place.

Yeah, sure, it's-- it's great, I guess.

I just notice that you come in here a lot.

Every day for two weeks.

You noticed me?

I noticed that we're directly

across the street from Jake Bolin's apartment.

Who are you?

Sergeant Catherine Shaw,

head of the Cyber Crimes Unit, NYPD.

And I hear you've been running

your own surveillance on the suspects.

Oh, look. Right on time.

Suspect number one, Jake Bolin.

Australian, works as a lawyer, shops organic,

prefers to run than go to the gym,

and is actually the last person I would pin as a murderer.

But, that always piques my interest.

Reese Hennessy, on the other hand,

dated the latest victim, has one charge of sexual assault

was dropped due to lack of evidence, takes sleeping pills,

drinks on average 1.3 liters of vodka a week,

and recreationally uses cocaine and MDMA.

Murderer, maybe.

Husband material, not so much.

You think this impresses me?

You can sit outside their apartment all night, for all I care.

But, loading spyware onto their phone

jeopardizes any case we can build against them.

You won't stop me.

I don't wanna stop you.

I wanna help you... help us.

People like me don't work for people like you.

The police?

The good guys?

When your department arrested me,

I kinda lost faith in authority.

Yeah, that grey area

where you like to work between us and the bad guys?

It can get real foggy down there.

I'd hate for you to lose your way.

I'll keep my eyes open.

I know the police failed to find your sister.

And for that, I am truly sorry.

But, I can make it up to you.

My deparment can give you the access and resources to help people.

Help yourself, and find your sister.

Everyone wants to play with you, Lindy.

Okay then.

Let's play.

The last time we went on vacation,

we went to Atlanta to visit my family.

It's that moment when you realize

you did everything together.

You think to yourself,

I'm gonna tell 'em this or that about my day.

But, they're just gone.

It's been two months.

I've heard nothing.

We were getting married.

She was-- she was so full of life.
