When Shep’s body is found and it turns into murder, the case gets even more complicated. The more the men dig into the case, however, the more things are revealed about Shep’s past, his dealings with the center, and his relationship with his husband. She is convinced that he is a changed man and is desperate for Shaw and North to look into his disappearance. Chuck also reveals that before coming to work for the center, Shep was the head of one of the biggest “conversion therapy” centers in the country. Chuck works at an LGBTQ teen center and the director, Shep Collins, is missing. The men are brought a new case by their assistant, Pari, and her girlfriend, Chuck. ![]() And of course, both Shaw and North are still barely admitting to themselves, let alone each other, that they have feelings for one another. However, the situation with Matty has also left Shaw quite shaken and even though he is now dating Jadon, he still finds himself having panic attacks whenever they attempt intimacy. On the plus side, the case helped bring more attention to their private detective agency, which is sorely needed with North still on a suspended license. North and Shaw are trying to get back to normal after all the chaos of the Matty Fennmore case. ![]()
