February 14, a.k.a. Valentine’s Day, is still weeks away, but Elsbeth fans might as well get in the spirit, given the newly released images from the upcoming love-themed episode. The procedural’s second season resumes later this month, but its Valentine’s Day episode airs on February 13 and will see the title character finally find a potential beau in guest star Ioan Gruffudd. Thanks to TVLine, we have an exclusive first look at the episode, including the duo’s chemistry, which fans naturally hope will have a happy ending.

Titled “Tiny Town” and directed by co-creator/executive producer Robert King, the Valentine’s Day episode will see “sparks fly between Elsbeth and a handsome Scottish musician named Angus (Gruffudd) after he witnesses a murder through a video art installation linking Manhattan with his tiny seaside town. The two join forces to solve the case together from across the pond,” according to the official synopsis.

Obviously, this isn’t the first time this season that there has been chemistry between Elsbeth and someone while investigating a murder, as it once happened in an early episode. At the time, fire marshal Jake flirted with the attorney as they looked into what went wrong during a space training simulation. Unfortunately, she ignored his advances, explaining to her friend Kaya that firefighters were attracted to her because of her red hair.

Elsbeth Finally Has A Charming Love Interest

It’s expected for Elsbeth to cross paths with several appealing people during her investigations, and so far, she hasn’t found that person who instantly attracts her…until Angus. Commenting on the upcoming affair, showrunner Jonathan Tolins said, “Elsbeth meets a lot of interesting witnesses in the course of her investigations, but few are as charming and handsome as Angus. They have instant chemistry, but they’re 3,000 miles apart.”

Elsbeth is currently in its second chapter, which has aired eight episodes and will continue on Thursday, January 30, with the “Unalive and Well” installment. In it, when a young man is found dead in his car, Elsbeth visits the holistic wellness center he'd just left and begins to suspect its charismatic founder. The comedy-drama stars Carrie Preston as the eponymous character, Carra Patterson as Kaya Blanke, and Wendell Pierce as Captain Wagner.

Elsbeth’s Valentine’s Day episode airs on Thursday, February 13.
