A group of thieves, disguised as seat fillers, spring from their seats at a star-studden Hollywood award show and steal jewelry from the neck, ears, wrists, gowns and lapels of the attendees, then make an organized escape. Charlie finds a pattern to the seating of the robbers, and the choices they made in their victims' jewelry...which all turns out to be borrowed from high-end jewelry stores (a common celebrity practice). The case leads to a South American theft group, high end insurance fraud, and celebrities with more flash than cash. Meanwhile, seeing the size of the diamonds that are part of this case, Charlie begins to wonder if he got a big enough stone for Amita's engagement ring.
