327"Crazy for You"Frederick E. O. ToyeAntoinette Stella & Lindsay SturmanJuly 17, 2012 (2012-07-17)5.84[44]
Maura is hosting an event for other scientists, and Dr. Pike is there; before the two can start fighting, Jane and her are on the case of the murdered Dr. Eve and her husband, Dr. Rodd. When Frankie and Angela are in front of the police station, Angela's car is hit, but who ends up being Lydia. Lydia reveals that her fiance has dumped her, and she is now living out of her car. Frankie tells Jane about it, and they agree not to tell Angela who she really is. When Jane tells Maura about Frankie meeting Lydia, Maura tells her about Tommy sleeping with Lydia long before their dad had become engaged to her. Frost and Korsak find out that the reason they couldn't get a warrant for the doctors' medical records was because the judge they went to was leading a double life. Later on at a party at the Dirty Boot, Dr. Pike declares his love for Dr. Isles, then he tries to fight another doctor there. At Maura's house, Angela brings Lydia there where Maura finds out that she needs an ambulance because she is about to slip into a diabetic coma. Another doctor helps them get a partial print off the bullet casing. When Jane tries to go on a lead, the owner of a baker kidnaps her. Everyone gets worried when no one could find her. While piecing together the two finger prints that they have they find that Dominic, the bread maker, was the one who kidnapped Jane. While Maura looks into his file, it is revealed that Dominic believes that Jane is in love with him. Korsak, Frost, and Frankie go to Jane's apartment, because the live video feed shows that it looks like her bedroom, but Dominic has recreated her bedroom. Maura and Frost piece together what they know to find where Jane is. Just as Dominic says he's going to make it so she can't talk or speak anymore Frost, Korsak and Frankie bust in and free Jane.
