Riley Thorn and the Dead Guy Next Door

Nick reports to work, where he updates Brian and Josie on the Dickie case. They confer about the LLC name Riley found for them at Nature Girls. They traced the name to Dickie’s partner and a shell company.

Nick goes to meet with Walter Henry, a health inspector whose inspections have passed Nature Girls countless times despite its squalid state. Walter admits that he was paid off to pass the inspections. He adds that Dickie’s partner was a white bald man whose name he can’t remember.

Later, Nick gets a call from Katie Shapiro, a police detective he used to work with. She asks about the Dickie Frick case, to which she was assigned after Weber was suspended for reasons she doesn’t explain. She also asks about the vigilante dog situation. Nick feigns ignorance on all counts.

While Gabe is giving Riley another psychic lesson, a stranger she saw at Nature Girls busts in Dickie’s door. She contacts Nick, but when he calls back, she insists that the crisis was averted and the intruder is gone. Nick is annoyed by her flippancy but updates her on the case. Then Blossom calls Riley, asking if she’s okay and insisting that she bring Nick to dinner.
