Jarod, our protagonist has been tasked with catching a lethal thief, Anthony Giotto who has stolen a deadly new pesticide known as "Doxinyl". On his mission, he poses as a makeup artist for a movie production company. The episode is called "F/X" and it is the ninth episode of the second season of The Pretender.
Jarod is quite fond of his current identity as a makeup artist and enjoys creating and designing characters for the films he is working on. However, things take a complicated turn when he uncovers a crack in the make-up artist's facade as he discovers irregularities in the work left behind. As he begins investigating, he stumbles upon an unusual connection to his nemesis, the dangerous thief Anthony Giotto.
In a heated face-off, Jarod uses his wits to navigate a tense situation and gathers crucial information about Giotto's next potential target; a small chemical plant on the outskirts of town. Jarod knows the top-secret pesticide that Giotto is after could easily take out an entire city.
With the clock ticking, and no one else believing him, Jarod knows it's up to him to stop Giotto and thwart his plans before it's too late. Using his trademark chameleonlike tactics to blend into his new environment, Jarod sets a trap that could finally capture Giotto and save countless lives.
