Max enjoys mingling and flirting, Miranda pouts about on inconspicuous guard duty -as waiters- at the festive restitution after centuries of a stolen icon of St Nicholas painting to the local Orthodox church by Kati Gorenka, the big spender widow of a Russian oligarch, but neither can alertly prevent it being snapped away by a masked man who escapes by yacht. The mayor and Ines furious demand they find it. Following a clue from Max's dodgy beach portrait artist informer, they discover an artist's studio whose uncooperative owner disappears before they can search the premises with a warrant. When the icon turns up, Max and Miranda suspect it is a fake and secretly search Gorenka's luxury yacht, where Miranda finds the real icon, Max the body of the artist and both are confronted by her bodyguard.
