S01E07 - The Ringer

MICK INVESTIGATES AN ARSON THAT IS EERILY SIMILAR TO THE FIRE THAT KILLED HIS EX-WIFE CORALINE

s01e07

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.
