About this episode

The episode explores the discovery of a comic in Connecticut and features an interview with a reformed art thief discussing its significance.

One of Cage’s comics turns up in Connecticut, which seems like a slam dunk for investigators. And we meet a renowned (but reformed!) art thief, who explains the true motive behind its appearance.
