The episode begins with a seemingly happy family enjoying a picnic in the park. However, their peaceful moment is soon interrupted by an unexpected visitor who drops a large envelope on their picnic blanket before disappearing into the crowd. Inside the envelope is a photograph of the patriarch of the family, John Diamond, with a caption that reads, "See thyself, devil!".
Frank and Lu are hired by John's wife, Jocelyn, to investigate the threat against her husband. As they begin their investigation, they discover that John is a successful advertising executive who recently launched a controversial campaign for a new perfume, Diablo.
