Lisbon (Robin Tunney) spent the night with Pike (Pedro Pascal) as she walks down with wet hair, he's made her breakfast, coffee and a bar. She has to get to work but arranges to meet later for dinner. When she arrives at work Patrick (Simon Baker) explains to Fischer (Emily Swallow) that she's meeting Pike and Patrick asks if they have an FBI helicopter to take them to Sam Houston National Park. That way she can be back for her date with Pike, also adding that Pike owes him. A woman named Madison (Natalie Padilla) was found dead in the park and Patrick does his usual investigation of the DB. Removing her shoes showing she has no blisters so didn't walk here and has new shoes. He also smells her hair of ginger citrus shampoo. So she can from nearby. Officer Green (Ellen Wroe) was her name meant to be funny, re the ep title; she tells them the only place near to here is the Foragers Club, a male only club. So Lisbon and Patrick check it out and she has to flash her badge.
The man who runs it, Russell (Mark Harelik) tells them he doesn't know Madison and no women are allowed here other than the dining staff, they don't hate women, it's just a refuge for men only. Yeah as if these men would be able to live without women around. He tells them Peter Kilgallen (Jon Abrahams) will be able to give them a list of members but it's confidential. A guest, Marvin (Sonny Marinelli) is upset with being found using his phone as they're not allowed and storms off again after finding out they're here about Madison. Russell gives them a badge to wear since all visitors must wear them, and Patrick tells him Madison was killed here since she had two pin holes in her shirt, where she wore the badge. Also jokingly saying he tries to keep Lisbon under control but can't keep her from hurting someone.
Fischer tells Abbott (Rockmond Dunbar) they found Madison's driving licence and she was a guest at some hotel. She was registered there withe her sister. Patrick goes exploring and Lisbon gets the list from Peter who tells her it's confidential. Patrick meets Marvin again and he's on the phone. He tells him how he made a deal with the FBI and he got off a murder charge. Madison's sister has been found and she shows them a video message she left and how she was seeing a girl. Patrick and Lisbon, have tea and Patrick smells the hair of all the waitresses, on the pretext of needing help or needing something. Until he finds the right one. She breaks down and realizes Madison was the woman everyone's talking about. Patrick also spoke with Lisbon and how she deserves a good man. Oh meaning him, no really, I can't see how he's just accepted Lisbon being happy with someone else, though it's nice of him to think of her happiness. Also good to see them working together once more, making it three eps in a row, after all, that was what we wanted to see and especially since Patty wanted her back here with him.
The waitress tells Fischer that Madison was an escort and was meeting a man. Seems the club has a cabin where such rendezvous take place. Something not mentioned by Russell. who tells Cho (Tim Kang) that they used to go off the grounds and get into trouble with camera phones around as the guests are all prominent people, so they moved it to the fishing camp. Also telling him he saw Madison but didn't speak with her. Cho mentioning Patrick didn't pick up on that, she he must be a good liar. Why didn't Patty pick up on that, he's normally so good. Maybe his mind was elsewhere, like on Lisbon and Pike. Well, more Lisbon than Pike. Abbott turns up since he was called about Marvin. Patrick talks of the number of golf karts so her body could have been moved easily. Inside the cabin, Patrick finds a golf warmer and it belongs to a famous golfer Grant Kimura (James Ryen) who Abbott says he's a fan of. Grant denies it at first but then admits he was at the camp, but he's married with children. Just then his attorney, Greg (James Patrick Stuart) walks in and tells him not to say anything. Patrick comments on his fraying shirt and he may need to get a new one. Obviously showing he doesn't have any money. Patty's funny comment about Greg being "frisky." Ha.
Marvin speaks with Abbott about Patty and practically offers him a bribe to get his assets released as another agent Matthews has confiscated them. Pike calls Lisbon who won't be able to get back for dinner, but he also tells her to look at the forestry satellite as they may be able to find Peter who's gone missing. Lisbon and Abbott find him in a golf kart dead after Wylie (Joe Adler) accesses the satellite. Abbott mentions talking to IA about Marvin and wearing a wire to catch him, but Patrick goes one better. They've found Madison's phone but it's too damaged to retrieve anything straightaway. So they use it to catch the killer.
The guest speaker isn't available, so Patrick offers to do a magic trick for the guests, as he demonstrates to Russell after taking his wallet and setting a dollar bill on fire. He's impressed. Patrick's plan is to say the objects are from lost property and make sure the phone is there. The killer will recognize it and collect it later on. Abbott meets with Marvin and he's offered 30% of whatever Abbott can get released from him. After Cho asks Wylie to fake his bank account so it would appear his assets have been released. Lisbon helps him with the show and obviously he identifies the correct objects cos they have a word or phrase she uses to ID what she's holding. They wait around but no one comes for the phone.
Abbott goes back to the cabin and says he knows there's a camera around which is why the killer heard their conversation. But he has the phone. In walks Greg, no surprises there, another obvious suspect. He tells them how he was planting the camera and Madison came back. He chased her and knocked her over and over against the ground until she died. He also shot Peter cos he knew and was blackmailing him.
Lisbon has dinner with Pike, that dress of Lisbon's, those shoulder pads did not look good at all! Ha. He tells her he's being offered a job in DC and he doesn't want to go. She tells him he must, but they declare their feelings and that this is the real thing for them both. Well Patty is to thank for that, since he kind of made sure Lisbon was here with him and so they were destined to meet, thanks to him, or more likely no thanks to him. But is he really happy for her? Another bit of a routine case and this ep had many hallmarks of eps gone before, like 2.9 A Price Above Rubies, 6.9 My Blue Heaven, 3.18 The Red Mile, where Patrick had performed to an audience in many eps and also done some magic tricks too, as well as being blindfolded, hmm, Patty blindfolded, ha. Okay, won't go there!
Also his trademark of analyzing the DB and coming up with his deduction that Madison was meeting someone cos of the way she was dressed and the smell of her hair. At least it was another harkback to eps of old. But when will they admit their feelings, I mean, Patty even saying to Lisbon, "let your beauty show." Funny she falls for someone else after missing him for two years. Oh all these subtle hints he's dropping, but still nothing comes of it. I mean last time he said she looked beautiful in her black dress and now another beauty remark, it's just teasing us fans!!
