Here’s a wonderfully unlikely brew of missing masterpiece, wartime romance and under-threat roller-skating rink. Danny Glover guests as an old soldier who may or may not know where the vanished Van Gogh is. It may be a tall tale but it’s imaginatively told, with the scamsters enacting the flashbacks: the fact that the love affair is played out by will-they-won’t-they couple Hardison and Parker makes it all the more poignant. Simply one of the show’s finest hours.
