Episodes >>> Season 3 >>> 03.05 American Goddess

First aired: 28 October 2004

The physically transformed winner of a popular surgical make-over reality show disappears in the midst of a publicity event at which she was the featured attraction.

The team soon learns that although the missing Lynette was transformed from an average-looking young restaurant bookkeeper to a stunning celebrity of sorts, she remained the fragile, insecure and lonely person she had always been. As they attempt to identify and locate a man who left several messages on Lynette's answering machine prior to her disappearance, the agents look into the bitter "American Goddess" contestant whom Lynette inadvertently got disqualified from the show. They also investigate whether any unstable fellow patients from the mental ward from which Lynette once sought care may have resurfaced to put her in harms way -- and consider the possibility that the formerly dateless and naive new beauty may have fallen prey to a charming yet dangerous suitor.
