The Harts take a trip to New York and accidentally come across a friend who's there and in front of the same hotel. They meet her new husband, and the viewer is led to believe that there's something suspicious about him via the introduction of the bad guys and the sudden exit of her husband after he spots them. This is fairly standard fare, until it's revealed that it's their friend who has the sinister motive, also not an unusual storyline. However, while it's obvious to no doubt most viewers that the "FBI man" who's brought in to work on what is recovery of lost bank robbery money is a phony, the Harts - with a season's worth of sleuthing under their belts - are clueless, then dumbfounded by this discovery. Too bad Max only got a cameo role in this episode, which also felt odd, as he might've helped them! Where the money is found is clever, though, but it's not enough to warrant a higher rating. Lastly, there is a half-hearted attempt to play on their being in New York with the use of the song "New York, New York."
