Plot
Veronica is hired by a Russian internet-order bride who got cold feet to find her husband that she left, but Veronica has other things on her mind, like Meg, who is trying to find her secret admirer and Logan, who, instead of finding his mom, found that his sister Trina was back in town. The Russian "bride" turns out to be part of the Russian Mafia, who are trying to find the "husband," to kill him, since he is actually hidden because he's in the witness protection program. Veronica and Keith manage to figure this out just in time to save him and arrest some of the mafia.
