Wayne and Grace look for the entry point of the killer and discuss the existence of ghosts. Wayne asks Grace if she has friends at the homeless shelter. She says yes, then notices a locked storage room door that has been pried open. They enter the room and Grace sees that all the power tools are missing. She then finds a cigarette butt and Wayne calls it in.

Patrick meets with a local historian named Philip Raimey and asks about Beckworth. Patrick finds out that Beckworth was into spiritualism and held seances at the house.

Victoria tells Cho she was angry with Alan for buying her childhood home. Victoria's nephew Drew walks in and says it is a complicated issue. Victoria explains that Drew is a lawyer. Cho asks what changed her mind about letting Alan buy the house. Victoria tells Cho he has a good aura. She then says Alan had a pink aura which means he is a liar. Drew assures Cho that his aunt couldn't kill anyone. Drew says he is there helping her out with her tax issues. Patrick calls Cho and tells him what he learned. Cho asks Victoria about the ghost and she says it's her grandfather. Patrick asks Cho about the treasure hidden in the house. Victoria tells Cho it was a myth they gave up searching for years ago. Patrick asks Philip how Beckworth made his money and he says bootlegging. Patrick asks what he thought about Alan, and Philip says not much.

Wayne and Grace enter the house and hear noises. They go upstairs to investigate. Grace tries to turn on the light, but they flicker. They then hear a voice calling to them. A door opens and they see a video of Patrick. He appears and shows them the hidden system that is rigged to make it look like there are ghosts in the house, which is how Beckworth made his money. Patrick says the house was used for moving illegal liquor and has a series of hidden tunnels.

Teresa meets with Jim, one of the construction workers hired to work on the Beckworth house, and asks about the stolen equipment. He says he doesn't know anything, but she tells him to go to the station to answer some questions. Cho tells him they found the equipment in his truck and his cigarette butt at the scene. He says he didn't kill Alan. He offers to give Cho information if he gets a break on the theft charges. Cho points out that he is also guilty of tax evasion. Jim tells Cho he saw Alan's wife Lillian sitting in her car the night of the murder.

Wayne and Grace search the dark halls. They find a wine cellar and hear rats. Wayne's flashlight goes out and Grace screams when she feels something crawl up her leg. Wayne then grabs her and tells her he loves her. Grace stutters and he goes to kiss her. Patrick then interrupts and says he found the secret entrance.

Teresa and Cho go to Lillian's house. They see Victoria and Drew are there and watch as Lilian and Victoria get into a fight.

Patrick and Teresa question Lilian about the fight. She says she just lost it. Teresa then asks about her alibi. Lilian admits she was at the mansion. She says she was ashamed of why she was there. Patrick explains that Lilian thought her husband was being unfaithful. She says he had an affair about a year ago. She says they worked on it, but she never fully trusted him again. She says she wanted to catch him in the act, but no one showed up. She says she bought gas on her way home which will verify she was not there when he was killed. Lilian says she wishes she had died too, but Patrick assures her the feeling will pass.

Drew tells Cho he was trying to stop the fight from escalating. He admits he is only a paralegal. Wayne pulls Cho aside and tells him he told Grace he loves her. Cho tells him to tell her again.

Victoria tells Patrick his aura is fascinating. She says she wanted her mansion back for sentimental reasons. Patrick suggests she wanted something back before someone else found it. He asks if it was the treasure. She says she didn't like the plans Alan had for the house. Teresa asks how she knew what his plans were and she says he told her. She finally admits she is lying and asks how they are with riddles.

Patrick and Teresa meet with Philip, along with Fisher. Philip tells them that he bought some Beckworth papers at an estate sale and found a letter he wrote to a cousin. He says there was a clue that said if they sought fortune, they should look 'here'. He says he mentioned it to Victoria, but the house had already been sold. He says it doesn't mean they killed Alan. Patrick looks at the letter and sees that 'here' was spelled 'hear'.

Patrick assembles everyone at the house and tells them that they need to focus on the word hear. He asks what they think of and Victoria, Cho, and Philip offers responses. Patrick then sees the piano and starts to tap on the underneath. He finds a hidden box containing the fortune. They see that the box is empty, but Patrick reveals a fake bottom. He pulls out another clue that says one must look to one's self to find the treasure. Teresa suggests it is a joke, but Patrick wants more time. Teresa shuts the scene down, tells Patrick to bite her and they are done for the night. Patrick whispers to her that she went a little overboard.

Wayne and Grace stake out the house. Grace tells Wayne it's not the right time for them. She suggests they take turns patrolling the grounds and they start to argue. Meanwhile, someone walks into the secret entrance.

Drew goes to the hidden room and smashes the mirror that emulates a ghost. Patrick appears behind him and Drew realizes Patrick planted the clue. Patrick tells him he proved he killed Alan by knowing where the secret entrance was. He says he listened to his family go on about the Beckworth treasure, but he never got a dime. He admits he just wanted to scare Alan, but he wouldn't leave. Alan confronted him and they got into a fight. He says Alan's death was an accident, but he threw him out of the window to make it look like the ghost killed him. Drew asks Patrick what was in the box. Patrick pulls out a key, but refuses to tell him what it opens.

Lilian thanks Patrick for finding her husband's murderer. She tells him she found out about his family and she knows he understands what it feels like to lose someone. She asks if he thinks the dead know how they feel. Patrick thinks about it, then tells her no.

The team eats their case closing celebratory pizza. Patrick breaks out a bottle of wine. Wayne and Grace awkwardly interact with each other. They then go off to a room together and kiss. She tells him she is leaving in a few minutes and he should follow her. Cho asks Patrick about the key. He says Beckworth was a collector of one thing. He says one of the items in his collection was worth a small fortune. Everyone realizes the wine was the fortune.
