When Stephanie Healy doesn't show up for choir practice, the team heads in to investigate and soon learns Stephanie had recently had a fight with her boyfriend. While speaking with Eddie, the team is shocked to learn that Stephanie used to be Stephen Patrick Healy. Convinced that the truth to what is happening in Stephanie's present lies in her past, the team investigates who Stephen was. Vivian has trouble hiding her worsening problems from the team, and is upset that Martin has been talking to Sam about his suspicions.

While attempting to find a woman who was fighting back tears when last seen at her church's choir practice, the team discovers that she's got a surprising secret that she's been desperately trying to hide.

Stephanie's choir director informs the team that he realized something was awry when Stephanie, who had been unusually emotional at the last choir practice, requested a certain hymn for Sunday, but then failed to show up to sing it. Though she initially seems like an ordinary churchgoing woman, her work history, multiple moves, and a conversation with her recently estranged boyfriend, soon lead the team to discover Stephanie's secret, after which they try to determine if it could have played a role in her disappearance. Meanwhile, Vivian's symptoms are making it more difficult for her to hide her heart condition from the team.
