It continues that way when she runs into Joe Morelli several times in the course of trying to bring him in - and he manages to embarrass and tease her (and sometimes confuse her a little in the kissing department) all while slipping away from her grasp. Suddenly, the case is much more personal. It turns out that the suspect worth that ten grand is the sweet-talking neighbor from her childhood who deflowered her in the bakery where she worked as a teen. ![]() It was expected she’d be a file clerk, but since that position has just been filled, Stephanie manages to finagle a job - on a week-long trial basis - as a “recovery agent.” The lure of $10,000 for bringing in a murder suspect is just too irresistible for Stephanie to pass up, even though she knows nothing about being a bounty hunter. When she finally breaks down and tells her parents that she’s trying to find work, her father points her toward a cousin who runs a bail-bond business.
