The episode centers around the Simon brothers, a pair of private detectives who run their own firm in San Diego, California. In "The Third Eye," Rick and A.J. are hired by a young woman named Margo to investigate her husband's recent erratic behavior. Margo's husband, Paul, is an architect who has suddenly become obsessed with the mystical idea of a "third eye," which he believes will grant him special powers.
The Simons begin their investigation by following Paul and observing his behavior. They soon discover that he has joined a group of people who are also interested in the third eye concept, led by a charismatic guru named Ramdas. As the Simons dig deeper, they realize that Ramdas is not all he seems; he is actually a con man who is using the third eye idea to scam his followers out of money and property.
The situation becomes even more complicated when Margo disappears, and the Simons suspect that Ramdas may be involved. They must race against time to find Margo and stop Ramdas before he can do even more damage. Along the way, they enlist the help of various characters, including a police detective who is skeptical of their methods, and a psychic who claims to have genuine supernatural abilities.
As always, the Simons use their skills of deduction, investigation, and sometimes even physical force to crack the case. But they also show their softer sides as they empathize with Margo and her plight, and as they work to uncover the truth behind Ramdas's lies. The episode is both a thrilling mystery and a study of human psychology and motivation, as the Simons delve into the minds of the various characters they encounter, both good and bad.
Overall, "The Third Eye" is a classic episode of Simon & Simon that showcases the show's strengths: a fast-paced plot, engaging characters, and plenty of action and humor. It is sure to keep viewers on the edge of their seats until the very end.
