A man and a woman, Nancy and Gulliver, rehearse their salsa dancing routine, but quickly both get poisoned by cyanide in a protein shake. Liv, Ravi, and Clive perform their autopsy in the morgue, and Clive reveals that the pair were about to compete on a dancing television show -- which, if they win, would theoretically allow them two tickets out of Seattle. Liv cooks Nancy's brain into a pico de gallo and eats it.

While on Nancy's brain, Liv suggests that she and Ravi should go undercover at the dancing competition, to see if they can investigate who tried to poison Nancy. Liv and Ravi meet with the producer of the show, who helps them attempt to keep their cover. They meet with the couple that is the biggest competition, Tina and Lars, and find out that Tina has a health tracker in her phone that tracks her location. Liv decides they should try to get Tina's phone and see if her location matches the murders.

Liv and Ravi meet Tina and Lars for drinks, as Ravi fumbles trying to keep up the ruse. The bar becomes a dance floor, and Ravi awkwardly attempts to dance with Liv. Tina and Lars offer to make them roommates, just as Liv gets a vision of Gulliver and Lars having an affair, which makes her want to eat Gulliver's brain.

Ravi panics at the idea of competing in the dancing contest, as Liv and Clive try to help him learn the routine. Meanwhile, Clive begins to investigate Gulliver's water polo team.

Ravi and Liv arrive for the dance contest, where Ravi gets nervous right before their routine. They perform their routine, Liv gets a vision in the middle of another man telling Gulliver not to leave him - Trip, who is on his water polo team. Liv and Clive visit Trip, who admits to wanting Nancy out of the way. Trip drinks something during the interview, and quickly dies from cyanide poisoning as well.
