S01E07 - The Ringer
Mick experiences déjà vu
when a fire investigation that destroys a historic
Hollywood hotel seemingly replicates the night
Coraline died. Mick's sense of nostalgia grows when a
woman he is working with bares a striking resemblance
to his ex-wife, on MOONLIGHT, Friday, Nov. 9
(10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television
Network.
RECAP:
Beth asks Mick to help her photographer friend Morgan
track down her expensive cameras, which were recently
stolen from her apartment. Mick is completely thrown,
because Morgan is a dead ringer for his ex-wife and
sire, Coraline, whom Mick killed years ago. But
Mick’s vampiric sense of smell tells him that Morgan
is human, so she can’t be Coraline. The case gets
even more twisted when Morgan has photographs she
took during a fire of a man killing a woman, a scene
that replicates the way in which Mick killed
Coraline. As he investigates the case of the missing
cameras and the murder, Mick is also trying to figure
out whether Morgan is really Coraline and how she
might have "cured" herself from being a vampire. Beth
is reluctant to admit it, even to herself, but she
gets a little jealous over Mick’s obvious fascination
with the alluring Morgan. Mick tries to expose Morgan
as Coraline, but finally comes to believe,
reluctantly, that Morgan is a doppleganger, not the
real thing. The deciding factor: Coraline had a fleur
de lis tattooed or branded on her shoulder, but
Morgan’s shoulder is unmarked. Later, alone in front
of a mirror, Morgan scrubs away the heavy makeup that
has been covering her shoulder tattoo: it’s a fleur
de lis. Though he doesn’t yet know it, Mick was right
all along: Morgan is really Coraline.
