The Lost Turnabout

Phoenix suffers a blow to the head from behind and loses his memory right before a trial, in which he is defending police officer Maggey Byrde for the murder of her boyfriend and fellow officer Dustin Prince. Despite his amnesia, Phoenix finds several contradictions in the evidence presented that implicate the key witness, Richard Wellington, as the true murderer. When Wellington's motive is brought into question, Maya arrives with evidence that Wellington is part of a con artist group, killing Prince out of fear that he would find the group's contacts on his missing phone, which Maggey found on a date with the in-uniform Prince. As Wellington states he has already recovered his phone, having attacked Phoenix in order to do so, Phoenix regains his memories and reveals that the phone Wellington took is actually his own, leaving Phoenix with Wellington's phone and proving Maggey's innocence.

However, Atmey inadvertently reveals he knew Ron was wearing Mask DeMasque's costume, placing him at the scene of the murder.

Lacking the evidence needed to seal a victory, Phoenix bluffs about some evidence brought in by Gumshoe to trick Tigre into correcting him and revealing his own guilt, resulting in Maggey being declared innocent.

Mia deduces that this case is linked to an incident eight months ago, in which a lawyer was poisoned and Dahlia was the prime suspect. Upon learning that this was also the day Phoenix and Dahlia met, Mia suspects that the container used for the poison was a pendant Phoenix received from Dahlia that day. Refusing to accept that Dahlia could do such a thing, Phoenix eats the pendant, leaving Mia without any decisive evidence. Urged by Mia to give the proper truth, Phoenix reveals that on the day of the murder, Swallow told him that Dahlia had stolen poison both eight months ago and the night before.
