The case is further complicated when Murdoch arrests a dashing young Frenchman breaking into a suspect's apartment, only to learn that he is Detective Marcel Guillaume, who has been hired by the disappeared woman's father.

Murdoch finds the creator of the streetscape, an autistic 19-year-old, Lydia, who communicates best through model building.
