Fraser and Ray come to the realization that Christina may be in possesion of the missing matchbook, but can they find her and the book before the killers do?

Detailed Overview

As the conclusion to this two part episode opens, Christina Nichols, sixteen year old daughter of a Canadian diplomat has decided that she doesn't need a chaperone and has managed to elude Fraser. For once in her life, she just wants to be an adult -- to be able to decide what she's going to do and when. Unfortunately, she may have eluded Fraser, but she hasn't eluded the killer that Ray and the rest of the force are desperately trying to hunt down. Unbeknownst to her, she has accidentally acquired something that he is prepared to kill for.

As she innocently seeks fun and adventure in the Chicago night, Fraser and Ray must find her, keep her alive and help her learn that growing up isn't just about growing older. It's a task which takes Fraser back to a wild after hours club as well as tobogganing down an escalator and plummeting down a garbage chute.

Interesting Trivia

• A McGuffin is something which was used in a story that is of no importance, but serves to allow the plot to evolve. In this case, the matchbook is the McGuffin.
• Beth Amos, the hotel maid (Mrs. McGuffin) in this episode, shows up later in the season as a housekeeper in the episode "An Invitation to Romance."
• Notice that the store security guard's name on his tag reads, Niffug C.M.. This is exactly opposite of the hotel maid's name, Mrs. McGuffin. Also, the basement janitor in the hotel in part 1 is named Mac Guff.
• Kevin Rushton is back in this episode playing the cabbie who refuses to pick Fraser up again.
