[edit] Synopsis

A man enters Jeannie's life prentending that he is Marty returned from the dead. As he gradually builds Jeannie's trust with his alarming knowledge of Marty's life, Jeff, suspicious from the beginning (with Marty familiar with the man but unable to recall) finds that he is a runaway member of a gang and has taken Jeannie to the Cotswolds where her and Marty had their honeymoon. Seeming very inquistive about recalling the details of where they had an accident it turns out the Marty imposter had stashed away a hoard of stolen silver years and years ago and that he was the other driver of the car where they had the accident after he had done it. He turns out that he was misleading Jeannie all along just to help locate his treasure, leaving Jeannie confused as to why he didn't just ask her in two seconds flat.

[edit] Overview

In this episode Jeannie once again falls for the deceivement of another man, this time pretending to be Marty. Although she is extremely impressed with his knowledge that Marty once had as they visit Woburn Abbey, it is far more likely she is attracted to the man himself rather than truly believing he is Marty in spirit. However she is again used.
