Oh!

Oh! Why?

[cheering and applause]

[cheering and applause]

Every baker knows
that a good recipe

is worth its weight in gold.

The right recipe is
a perfect fit,

not something you can force
into place.

People say it's about
using the best ingredients,

and that's true too.

But if you don't put in
the right ingredient

with the precise amount,
at the proper moment

it can turn into a mess.

Or worse, become inedible.

But when you get it
just right, it's magic.

Is it just me or is it busier
than usual today?

Don't worry Lisa,
we have plenty of time

to get through all of
our customers

and we will still have time
to plan

your Herman family reunion.

Well, if anyone can do it,
it's you, Hannah,

but feel free to throw some
cold water on my face

in case I start to freak out.

Deal.

All we have to do is pick
a location,

find the games for the kids,

and choose the desserts
that you want.

Do you need that cold water?

It's just so important
to me

that this go perfect
for my family.

I don't want any, um, mishaps.

Of course there are not
gonna be any.

Promise?

Yoo-hoo!

Oh, hello.
Welcome to the Cookie Jar.

May I help you?

I would like to order four

of your banana cream pies
for delivery

to my home on Saturday, please.

Four banana cream pies
for Miss Bascow.

Oh, Victoria, please, darling.

I know you have
supported several

of the Murraysville Players'
performances..

Oh, yes.

I love going to the plays
and you're wonderful in them.

Okay, so four pies.

That will be $50 and
the delivery fee is on me.

Oh, what a generous
spirit you have.

So old-fashioned.
I'm the same.

I hope you take checks.

Mother.

Oh, hello.

Hello.

Are you in the mood
for something special today?

Oh.

Delores, I almost
didn't recognize you.

Haven't been sleeping?

[chuckles]
Never better.

But, Victoria, dear, you must
be careful with that squinting.

What a beautiful hair clip.
Is that an antique?

Thank you.
It was a gift.

It's perfect for my next role.

My character is a famous
tango dancer,

and we were just working
on the choreography.

I thought it was
an odd perfume.

[clears throat]

Well, here's your receipt.

Thank you so much.

And 3:00 PM on Saturday
for the delivery.

Oh. That's perfect.

If you didn't have
two left feet,

you might have been cast.

Ta, ta!

Break a leg!

Mother!

How dare she?

What is going on
between you two?

She is never going to treat me
as an equal

with the Murrayville Players.

Well, isn't she the star?

She bought four pies
from you on purpose, Hannah.

She wanted me to know.

You think it has something
to do with the theater?

It must be.

She's famous for her parties.

Oh, Mother maybe it's just
a party for her family,

or her friends.

No, it has to be
for the actors.

And she is keeping me out
intentionally

because I have been
scooping up some

fabulous roles lately.

Oh.

Victoria Bascow cannot
stand a little competition.

Mm. Well, it must be, as
you've always said to me.

Oh, thank you so much.

Success is the best revenge,
isn't it?

Banana bundt cake.

Perfect. I'll put
it in the case.

You should slice up my mother
some chocolate banana bread.

I'd love to.

Um...

Lisa.

Yes.

[whispers] Do I look a little
tired to you?

Delores...

you've never looked better.

- Really?
- Really.

Oh, fabulous darling.

Ta ta!

[sighs]

[knocking]

-Hi.
-Hello.

Thank you for coming.

Oh. Well, what's
with all the secrecy?

Why can't you just tell me
on the phone?

Because I didn't know
if you were with mother.

Well, why didn't you just ask?

Because if I asked you
if mother was there

and she heard that,

she would know I was up
to something

and she wouldn't give up

until she found out
what it was.

Mm. And what about Lonnie
and Michelle

if they weren't on a cruise?

Well, Michelle told me
not to call her

unless it was an emergency.

Oh, I see how it is.

I'm just kidding.

I'm sorry.
You're my favorite sister.

And you're an expert
in all these things.

I know.

Especially about this.

So you can get comfortable,

maybe put your feet up,
get cozy.

I made some tea,
your favorite tea.

Would you like some tea?

Yeah, I would love that.
- Great.

Thank you.
That's so nice.

Isn't this lovely?

So, what is it?

Chad asked me on a date

Aww... when?

Tonight.

Tonight?

Are you insane?

How could you just spring
this on me?

How much time do we have?

Wait, don't answer that.

Not enough.

We need to get your hair done.
We need to find you an outfit.

Who are we kidding?
You don't have anything to wear.

Oh, no.
Where are you going?

L'Amour on 3rd.

Ohhh... I'm gonna pass out.
This is a nightmare.

I think it's gonna be nice.

Hannah, this is no time
for jokes!

Upstairs, now!

Not with a teacup.
Mother will kill you.

Thank you.

[sighs]
Oh, God.

Mm! It's hot.
It's so hot.

So you have to tell me
that you're gonna put this

in your purse
and reapply every hour.

Every hour?
Okay. Okay.

Yeah.
- [knocking]

- And he's early.
- Yeah, he's early.

No, Andrea.
Stop it!

I'm just--
I know, I just want to fix--

- Stop it!
- You stop it!

- In your hair.
- Okay.

Take a breath.
I am taking it out.

Okay. That's good.
Here we go.

- Thank you.
- Oh, you have to hide this.

Of course.
I'm coming.

Take a breath.

- I got it.
- You got it?

I got it!

What about this? Here!

Andrea!

Oh!

We're good, we're good.

[door slams]

Hi.

Hi.

You're early.

Oh. Yeah.

Well, you can thank
the Marine Corps for that.

If you are on time,
you are late.

I can wait in the car, though.

No, no, of course not.
That would be crazy.

Okay.

Uh, I got these for you.

Oh.

Yeah. They were all out of
spelt and whole wheat,

so I had to go
with the roses.

Thank you.

I see what you did there.

Should we put them in water
before we go?

Yeah, of course.

[clears throat]

Uh... uh... come inside
and I'll put them in water.

Okay.

Oh, this is a great place.

Oh, thanks.

It's very you.

Yeah, it's perfect for me
and Moishe.

Is this Moishe right here?

Uh, no. Um, that's just
something I got

at the Lake Eden College
art fair.

But Moishe likes it,
don't you, Moishe?

Oh, there he is.

Hi. Did you come
to say hello?

Hmm.

[cluttering sounds]

[cat meows]

[cluttering sounds]

[cat meows]

You look beautiful.

Thank you.

Should we get going?

Um. Yes.
Yes, let's.

That'd be great.

I wish we could bring
you with us, pal.

[Hannah laughs]

[cat meows]

Here, I got it.

I'll tell him all
about it after.

So, just to be clear,

that is one of your sisters
in the pantry, right?

Yeah.

She gonna stay
in there all night?

No, no, Andrea, will come out
as soon as we leave.

Oh, Andrea.
Okay. Goodbye, Andrea.

[Andrea] Have so much fun.

Sleeping on the floor because
I didn't want to wake up

10 minutes earlier and make
my bed every morning.

Well, hospital corners
take time.

There you go.

Exactly. And the gamble paid
off for a while,

and I was wondering why
everybody wasn't doing this.

And then one night,
I found out.

Oh, no.

Yeah. The drill sergeant
came in at 2:00 a.m.

for a spot inspection yelling.

But, I mean, that's normal
in the Marine Corps.

Everything's on a level 10.

Okay, but what did he say?

He said, I guess you like
sleeping on the floor, son.

I guess you don't need this bed.

What?

He took the bed, the rack,
the mattress,

the pillows, blanket, everything
and threw it out into the quad.

Okay, well, I mean,
that's not that bad, right?

If it wasn't pouring
rain outside.

What?

It got soaking wet.

He said get your butt
out there immediately.

Bring everything back in.

And that's what you're
sleeping on tonight.

Don't ever let me catch you

sleeping on the floor again,
son.

[laughs]

That is a harsh way to learn
that lesson.

One you won't soon forget.

Okay, so you survived boot camp?

Barely.

And then you were deployed
overseas?

Yeah. Yeah, I spent a little
bit of time

kind of living everywhere.

What about you?
What's your story?

It's definitely not
as interesting as yours.

I don't know about that.

Have you always lived here?

I'm from Lake Eden.

I went to college
in Minneapolis.

I was going to go
into advertising,

if you can believe that.

Absolutely.
You'd be great at that.

You just changed your mind?

My father became ill.

I'm sorry.

Thank you.

So I moved back home.
I've always loved baking.

So I went to culinary school,

and I did get to travel
a little.

I went to these specialty
courses in Paris and Milan.

Wow.

I found my dream.

That's incredible.

Not many people can say
they love what they do.

That'I know.dible.

You do too.

I do. [chuckles]

[clink]

I love the justice system
and the Marine Corps--

[Man's voice]
You expect me to pay for
this meal after this?

Every chair in this place
squeaks and scrapes

made worse by the overly
loud music

I've asked four times
to be turned down!

I want to speak to your manager
right now.

Come on.

Wow. That was intense.

Jeez. You know, I have
those little felt squares

you put under chairs,
it helps prevent the noise.

Also keeps my hardwood floors
from getting scratched up.

Funny, I didn't notice
my chair

making a sound
when I sat down.

Oh, I did.

But I picked the chair up
when I scooted the back

so you wouldn't have to hear
the scrape before you sat down.

Oh.

You want dessert?

How about just coffee?

Do you think mother will survive
standing on stage

next to Victoria Bascow?

I honestly don't know.

But if they can avoid throwing
rotten tomatoes at each other,

I think we should take
that as a success.

That's a pretty low bar.

I know.

Ooh. VIP tickets.

How do we get those?

Let's go find out.

What? No. Andrea!

Hi, I'm Andrea Swensen
Bennett.

Hi. Tonya Harmon.

Oh, Swensen,
you must be with Delores.

Yes, we're her daughters.

We've met before.
Hannah from the Cookie Jar.

And this is my sister, Andrea.

Do you have an envelope
for us?

Andrea?

No.

You have to be VIP status
to get reserved seats,

but you can get season tickets
or packages of five shows.

So they bought the packages?

Who are they?
Are they someone's family?

You mean them?

Yes.

Oh, no family.

That is part of Victoria's
broad fan base.

People come from everywhere
to watch her perform.

Mm.

And they actually buy
VIP tickets?

Oh, yeah.

She single-handedly keeps
this place in the black.

Wow. I had no idea.

We rent the place out
for other events too,

but with Victoria around,

I don't even have to worry
about that.

Mother's gonna lose her mind.

Yes.

Let's get a drink.

Okay. Popcorn?

Yeah.

Oh.

Sorry I'm late.
Wow, you look beautiful.

Oh. Thank you.

Has it started?

Am I late?

Oh, uh, it started about
10 minutes ago.

Oh, God.

She'll know I'm late,
she'll see I'm not in my seat.

Oh. Don't worry.
I'm sure it's not that bad.

You don't understand my aunt.

Last time I was late,

she threatened to cut me
out of her will.

I love my aunt, of course.

Maybe when she's gone,
I'll have them change the name.

The Victoria Theater.
That's nice, right?

Yeah, sure.

Scene change, perfect.

That's our cue too.
- Okay.

Okay. We don't have to commit
to the location

until you've had a chance
to see it.

No. Hannah,
it sounds perfect.

This time of year,

you just can't depend
on the weather.

And these reunions are so
important to my whole family.

Oh, I'm sure they are.
Hey, the cupcakes are cool.

So, will you grab the icing?

Yes.

And the Murrayville
Community Hall

has a break in their schedule
between plays,

so there shouldn't be
any conflicts.

Oh, perfect.

Lisa, Lisa!

Look at you!

Jennifer.

Hi. This is a surprise.

What? No hug for
your favorite cousin?

Yeah. Let me put
this down.

Hi, I'm Hannah Swensen.

Oh, I know all about you
from Lisa.

Oh.

And Suzie didn't tell me
you were in town.

Oh, I actually haven't seen
them yet.

Really?

Are you excited for
your family reunion?

Of course. Can't wait.

It's been years since
I've seen you, Lisa.

You haven't changed a bit.

Oh.

Let's get you some coffee.

And a cookie on the house.

How about one of those?

Oh, uh, of course.
Yeah.

It's fine.
Help yourself.

Oh, where are my manners?
Thank you, Hannah.

No problem.

So, are... you staying
with your mom?

Actually, I was hoping
that I could stay with you.

With me? Really?

Yeah. It would be
like old times

when we used to have sleepovers
and build forts in the backyard.

I'm not sleeping
in the backyard this time.

You know what I mean.
It'll be fun.

Yeah, yeah, it'll be fun.

Can't wait.

[knocking]

[sighs]

[gasps]

[door lock jiggles]

Oh!

[glass shattering]

[grunts]

Oh, no!

Oh!

[Operator] 9-1-1. What's your
emergency?

Help! You have to send
an ambulance, please.

As soon as possible!

[Operator] Yes,
an ambulance is...

I smell something burning.

Oh, no!

[camera shutter snaps]

Now, what exactly did you
touch here in this kitchen?

Oh, um...

No, no, no, no.
Just tell me.

Right, right.
Uh, the pan.

I took that, um, T-cloth
and moved it

and took it off the burner.
I mean, the burner was on full.

But you say nothing
was in it.

Right. No, I mean,
you could tell the pans

never been used before.

It doesn't even have a ring
for a watermark.

And you're sure the door
was locked?

Yes. I'm totally sure that I
would not have broken a window

if the door was unlocked.

Okay, okay, I know.
Guys, do your thing.

Let's sweep this place
top to bottom.

[Officer] Yeah, right away.

You did the right thing.
You have to try and save her.

Yeah. Thank you.

You broke that window?

Yeah, yeah.
I'm sorry if I ruined evidence.

Not at all.
I'm actually very impressed.

I'm sure Ealing's team can get
to the bottom of this

with or without your
fingerprints everywhere.

Right, Sheriff?

Yeah. Of course.

I believe we already
have your prints on file.

Breaking and entering at
a junkyard, if I recall.

Mm.

Really?

Just don't touch
anything else.

Hey, are you cut?
Do you need to see a medic?

No. I'm fine.
I... I just wish--

Hey, it's okay.

Okay, listen,
if anybody could have saved her,

it would have been you, Hannah.

Norton, we need to talk.

Right. Yeah.
Um, I gotta get back to work.

Right. I'm so sorry.
Uh, bye.

Well, Murphy picked a bad time
to go for a cruise.

You got another detective
in mind

to take over the case?

No. Victoria was
a hometown celebrity.

I better handle this myself.

I don't want a bunch
of bad press

for letting some rookie
get involved.

And I'm sure Victoria's family
will be happy to know

you're handling this.

She has that one nephew,
but he has been notified.

All right, let me show
you this.

[camera shutter snaps]

[camera shutter snaps]

Oh, Hannah.

I should've known
when I heard

all those sirens rushing past
that you were involved.

Well, I had no idea
that you and Victoria

were practically neighbors.

Every time I stay here.

Victoria and-- what is the name
of the other neighbor?

Oh, Jacob Tessling.

Right. Mr. Tessling,

Always looking for an excuse

to see who's arriving
in the neighborhood.

Oh.

Really? Well, I don't think
that Victoria was

caught off guard by
a thief or anything like that.

I think she opened
the door to the killer.

Oh. That's horrible.

Why would you think that,
Hannah?

She had her fine china out.

Two mugs, both filled.

But didn't you say she was
in her dressing gown?

I don't know if it was
a dressing gown.

What do they call them?

The things, the flowy things
you wear in the morning.

Oh, honey, that's not a robe.
That's a--

[both] captain.

Well, whatever you call it.

And she was strangled
by the belt.

No, it was with her scarf.
It was right there next to her.

Well, at least that tells us
that the killer

did not bring their own
murder weapon.

Spontaneous crime.

Maybe the killer just wanted
to make sure

they didn't leave
any evidence behind.

It's very likely
that the killing happened

in the heat of the moment.

Victoria had that effect
on people, ugh!

Andrea, please,
I need some cookies, honey.

It's brain food.
Helps me think.

Of course, Mother.
I will be right back.

Thank you.

Oh, and before I forget.

She was in the kitchen
when it happened.

Victoria was cooking something.

Maybe she was trying
to get ready for the party

she was throwing tonight.

[chuckles]
It is highly unlikely.

Victoria was known as the diva
of delivery.

In fact, Tessling,
her neighbor

always used to complain

that all the delivery drivers
every night

would knock on his door instead
trying to find her address.

Thank you. Andrea.

So how are we going to find out
what that party was all about?

That party is our
first big lead.

Well, you should ask the actors

if they were invited
to the party.

Mhm. I will.

And I can't stop thinking
about that pan.

It was smoking when I got there.

That would have been bad
for the whole neighborhood.

Well maybe that's it.
Maybe it wasn't Victoria.

Maybe it was the killer
trying to start a fire,

you know, to cover his tracks.

It's a very good way to cover
one's tracks.

I don't know any new details
in this article.

[phone rings]

Oh.

Hello.

Hey. How are you?

Oh. Hi, Chad.

You know, just thinking
about how if I left the bakery

five minutes earlier,
I might have

been there in time to save her.

Yeah, but you also might have
put yourself in danger

if you did that.

I know. You're right.

Are you there with your sister?

No. She offered, but I kind of
Iwanted to be alone..

And besides, I have
Moishe here.

You're reading about
the case, aren't you?

No.

Ealing is investigating
this himself.

I'm sure that we'll have answers
pretty quickly.

I know you're right.

And you don't want Ealing

to catch you messing around
with this case.

I don't want to upset
the sheriff.

Besides, I have Lisa's family
reunion to organize,

so I'm very busy.

Oh, yeah. Of course.

Right. Totally.

You want to make sure I don't
involve myself in the case?

No, I just, um, you know,

I wanted to hear your voice,
see how you were.

Oh.

And I can hear
you doing great,

so I should, uh, you know,
get get back at it.

Okay.

I'll see you tomorrow,
though, huh?

Okay. Good night.

[meows]

Did you hear that?

He was calling to check on me.

[sighs]

[gasps]

Delores, are you looking
for something?

Oh, no.
Just a little lost.

Well, have you heard
the terrible news?

Oh my, yes.

I read about it in the paper
this morning.

You must just be devastated.

And all the actors,
I can't even imagine

what you're going through.

Oh, thank you, Tonya,
for your compassion.

This will be difficult
for us.

We Murrayville Players
to weather this storm.

Of course.

Well, let me know if there's
anything I can do.

Yes.

Well, actually, uh...

Tonya, you know,
everything that goes on here.

Was Victoria on bad terms
with anyone?

Besides you?

Oh, me?

Well, ours was just a classic
rivalry between actresses.

Crawford never really wanted
to hurt Bette Davis, you know?

Well, I can't imagine it.
I mean, everyone loved her.

Did you see the latest reviews?

The show was going to be
another sellout.

Oh, I know.

Well, if you think of anything,
please just...

let me know.

[knocking]

Sheriff.

Oh!

Uh, what a surprise.

Uh, Ms. Swensen, I am sorry
to interrupt at a bad time,

but I need to ask you
a few questions.

Oh. Of course.
Uh, where are my manners?

Please, uh, come on in and
pull the door shut, will you?

May I offer you, uh, some coffee
or perhaps a cookie?

They're both from
the Cookie Jar.

Uh. No, ma'am.
Thank you.

Uh, I am here on a professional
matter.

Oh. I knew it.

I am so glad to be of service.

Uh. Excuse me.

However, my little detective
agency can help,

we are here.

Ready for duty.

Oh, uh...

Actually, I am not quite
ready now.

I need to get
gussied up again.

But I am so fast.
I'll be ready lickety-split.

No, you look beautiful.

How long have you known
Victoria Bascow?

Oh, who can keep track
of the years?

Try.

Okay. Since I moved
to this neighborhood.

Eight years, maybe ten.

And would you say you and
Miss Bascow got along well?

Well, we never even really
knew each other

until I joined
the Murrayville Players.

The truth is, Victoria did not
like sharing the spotlight.

But at our core, we loved
each other as all actors do.

Part of the trials
and tribulations

of being in the theater...
you might say.

Is there something specific
I could help you with?

I'm going to ask you not
to leave town, Miss Swensen.

Oh, okay. Why?

You're a person of interest
in the death of Victoria Bascow.

[gasps]

Moi?

How could Sheriff Ealing
just accuse you like that?

He has to know you're not
capable of killing anyone.

No. Everyone has
their limits, darling.

But if he thinks

that he's going to scare me away
from this case,

he's got another thing coming.

Well, if he told you not
to investigate,

you probably shouldn't.

Et tu, Brute?

I have to side with mother,
Hannah.

You're not really
in the best position

to suggest anybody else
stay out of it.

All right, all right,
I'm in.

So where do we start?

First, we have to establish
who Victoria was closest to.

We met her nephew, Roger,
at one of your performances.

What was he like?

He was kind of odd, actually.
We had just met him.

Victoria was still
on stage performing,

but already he was talking about
how he was gonna

spend her money
when he inherited it.

Wait. "We?"

Chad and me.

Really?

Yeah. Yeah.
He likes your plays, Mother.

I've told you that.

Mm. And is there
anything else

you want to reveal to me
Hannah Louise.

You told her.

I didn't want to tell her.
She tricked me!

No. You always do this.

I always confide in you
and you always--

All right.
Girls, girls, stop!

Hannah, this is no time
to go into your escapades.

We need to get down
to business.

Now! Come on.

All right, I will investigate
Roger.

All right.

And I will begin a hell
of an investigation.

A what?

Fishing net.

I don't get it.

Information gathering.

Must I explain everything?

Well...

With that one.

I mean, it was just--

You need to do something.

Lonnie and Michelle are not
back till next week.

Me?
I thought this was a we.

Okay. I got peanut butter
for Blake.

I got a double chocolate
for Roxanne.

And, um...

Hi.

Do you know everyone's
favorite cookie?

Everyone except you,
but I'm working on it.

Double chocolate.

I'm glad you stopped by.

Yeah. I can't believe everyone
here is working on a Sunday.

Not just you.

I know.

One of my colleagues,
another prosecutor,

had to take an unexpected leave
of absence, so.

Huh?

As you can see, I have a few
new cases on my desk.

Oh, wow.
Yeah, it's a lot.

Anything interesting I might
want to watch in court?

Well, hopefully Lucas
will be back

before these go to trial,
but I'll let you know.

So I want to talk to you
about the Victoria Bascow case.

This is not new information,
right?

This is something you've already
told Ealing?

Yes, yes, I told Sheriff
Ealing everything.

Okay, good. Shoot.

The pan on the stove top.

The one that was smoking,
could have caused a fire.

Exactly.

But I was wondering,
what if it wasn't the killer

trying to cover his tracks
by starting a fire?

What if it was Victoria herself?

And why would you think that?

Maybe she was trying
to create a distraction.

It's an interesting theory.

It would be a smart way
to signal for help

by setting off
the smoke alarm.

Right. Exactly.

Okay. And where are you going
with this?

Because it could be argued in
court that it was an accident.

Plenty of people,

they forget to turn the burners
on their stove off

all the time.

Right.

But either way,

it just proves that there was
someone alive inside that house

right before I got there.

The pan was smoking.

It wasn't burned yet,

which means it could only
have been five minutes,

ten minutes, tops.

And that burner
was on full blast.

So in your theory,

it was either Victoria signaling
for help

or it was the killer trying
to start a fire.

Right.

Either way, it happened
only minutes before I arrived

to deliver those pies.

I do need your testimony

and the forensic evidence
from the burning pan

to establish a timeline
during the trial.

We just have to find
the right suspect for you
to take to trial.

Ealing needs to find.
Is that what you meant to say?

How did that go, by the way,
giving your statement?

It was fine.

I mean, I told him everything
I could remember,

which, unfortunately,
isn't very much.

All right. Just... just keep
thinking about it.

Were there any cars
in the parking lot?

Were there any
other people there?

Even if you thought they might
have the right to be there.

Like a gardener or maybe,

I don't know, electrician,
painter?

You know about my mother,
don't you?

Yeah.

Ealing said that he learned
that she and Miss Bascow

were not on the best
of terms.

My mother didn't do anything
to hurt Victoria Bascow,

and I am going to prove it.

Okay.

Look, just keep going over the
details of that day, all right?

Even if you don't think
they're important,

they might be important
to the investigation.

And anything that you find out,
you tell Ealing.

Okay, I gotta get back to work.

Oh, right. Of course.

Thanks for taking the time.

Thank you for stopping by
and feeding my staff.

Yeah, sure.

Oh.

Snickerdoodle?

It was worth a shot.

Ah, Delores, there's no time
for a hot flash.

Oh! Oh!

Hey, hey, hey, hey!
Don't touch that.

[coughs]

Oh. Not contagious.

You're not even supposed to be
up here.

Oh. So sorry, sir.

I will, uh...

I will just, uh, skedaddle
on down

to the dressing rooms then,
and just, uh...

No worries, uh...

I'll be out of your hair
very soon.

Jackson, let's reset this table
to the stage.

[coughs]

[gasps]

Her dressing room is so much
bigger than mine.

Oh. [spits]

Ugh.

All right, Victoria...

so what secrets are you hiding
in here?

Mm.

Nice touch.

Oh.

What do we have here?

Ha, ha!

[camera shutter snaps]

Oh, and that bag.

And...

Oh!

Wow.

[camera shutter snaps]

[door closes]

Oh... uh...

Hey, Lisa!
- [startled gasp]

Hi, Jennifer.

You know you can't just come
back here.

Well, it's a bit late.

Sorry I scared you.

No, you're not.

So did you ever get any
time off or what?

Well, yeah. Actually, Herb and I

were waiting around for you
last night.

You said you were joining us
at the movies.

Oh, right. Yeah, I forgot.

I'm sorry, Lisa,
I really did forget.

It's just there's been a lot
going on for me

since I got back.

Yeah. I've noticed.

I just really hope you're not
getting yourself involved

in anything that's...

Dangerous.

[whispering]
I was gonna say illegal.

Oh, please.

You always were such
a worrywart.

I'm out. Bye.

[sighs]

Wow. This backstage area
is great.

I mean, I could use it to set up
my kitchen area.

Oh, this place is
very versatile,

so if you need extra space,
just let me know.

Yeah, great.

Thank you.

Oh, and we have a crew
that can help clean up

during the event,
if that's useful to you.

Um, yeah.

Uh, I think that would, uh,
really be useful to me.

Uh, sorry.
My nose itches.

Uh, reunion...

Uh, uh, yeah.
Major cleanup at reunions.

Messy people.

Um, [clears throat]
this place is just so--

How did he know it was
a reunion?

He must have heard us
talking about it.

This place is so great.

All this work you've done
on the theater,

did you originally want to be
an actor?

Oh, me? No, no.

I enjoy bringing
the shows to life,

but I could never be
on stage.

Oh, me neither.

Right. And I'm so sorry
for what you're going through.

What everyone must be feeling
right now.

How long did you know Victoria?

Well, I don't think anyone
really knew Victoria.

She was very mysterious.

Always disappearing
after rehearsal.

Really?

Um. She has a nephew, right?
Roger.

He came to every performance,
very devoted.

Yeah. Yeah.

I met him at her last
performance here.

He told me he had big ideas
for this place.

Yeah, he said that he wanted
to be a patron of the theater.

Uh, I'm sorry.

I... I really have
to get back to work.

Is there anything else
that you want to see,

any measurements?

Uh, no.
No, this has been great.

I really appreciate your time.
- Okay.

Thank you.

Mother.

Sheriff, hi.

No.

No what?

No, I'm not going to give you
any updates on the case.

Well, I'm here to update you,
actually.

All right. What is it?

I learned more about Roger,
Victoria's nephew,

and I think he has a motive
to want her gone.

Do you remember anything else
from that day?

Is there anything else you'd
like to add to your statement?

No, I haven't been able
to think of anything.

Don't give up.

Wait! What about my mother?

What about her?

Well, you don't honestly believe

that my mother murdered
Victoria Bascow?

I have witness statements.

Who?

I'm not going to tell
you that,

but just understand that
the feud between them

was much bigger than she
claimed it was.

Okay. Even if it was, what...
what does that prove?

It shows Delores had means,
motive and opportunity.

She's a suspect.

[sighs]

[camera shutter snaps]

What do you think you're doing?!

[startled gasp]

Nothing.

No, I mean, I was...
I was... I was just looking.

Yeah, well, we've had nothing
but looky-loos

around here since it happened.

Why don't you just
get out of here!

I think I just got off
on the wrong foot here.

I'm Hannah Swensen.

I'm the one who found
Miss Bascow.

Oh, you did, huh?

Yeah.

I was delivering her
banana cream pies.

Well, it's probably
for one of her parties.

She was always making noise.

She always had a group
of people hanging around.

That must have been
so frustrating for you

putting up with
all that noise.

Did you try talking to her about
it or talking to her boyfriend?

Look, I don't know anything
about a boyfriend.

There was always a crowd.

They'd get here late,

and then they'd be going
with music

till 1:00, 2:00 in the morning.

I could only imagine how
upsetting that must have been.

Look, I didn't write into
the HOA or anything, you know.

Why not?

Because I'm not like that.

It was just a friendly
disagreement, you understand?

Yeah, I think I understand.

[camera shutter snaps]

I finally remembered where
I know the neighbor from.

Well, did you see him the night
Victoria was killed?

I saw him at L'Amore.
He was making a scene.

Because he was upset about
how loud the restaurant was.

He was really intense about it.

Intense enough to kill?

Yes.

Well, I don't know,

but I definitely think
we should add him

to our suspect list.

Okay.

That sounds--
[gasps]

Mother.

[sighs]

You were cutting it too close
this time, Mother.

I had everything
under control, darling.

I'm not sure that's true.

Oh, what's happening?
-Good.

What are you wearing?

You went in disguise
to the theater,

and she almost got caught
by the manager, Tonya.

No risk, no reward.

Well...

And I captured these
in Victoria's dressing room.

-They look good.
-They're beautiful.

Yeah, I think she was wearing
this hair comb

when she came in to buy
the pies, right?

Oh, please.

She was just wearing it
to rub it in

that she got cast in the lead
role in our next play.

May she rest in peace.

I think she said it was
a gift.

We should find out
from who.

Whom?

From whom?

Whom.

An admirer maybe.

Oh.

Or a lover.

Mm.

She was taking karate classes.

Taekwondo. Tracy and I
take it together.

She loves it.

Oh. And she was also taking
French classes and dance.

Okay, so we're gonna have
to look into all of this.

Right. Okay, great.

Perhaps she had
a whole other life.

one that we never knew about.

It turns out that that party
wasn't for the actors.

Maybe it was for her friends
in one of these classes.

Or her enemies.

Exactly.

Who wants to do what?

[both] I should do the dance.

-It's my thing.
-My thing.

Where'd you learn it from?

You.

Okay. I will do
the French class.

Um...

Darling, no one's going to
believe you're studying French.

I mean, the second
they go beyond food,

you will be dans la noir.

In the dark.

-Exactement.
-Merci.

Right. Okay, well,
I could do the taekwondo.

Okay, great.
Uh, let's see what we have.

Uh, this is the schedule
for the blue belt exam.

That takes years to learn.

I can fake it for a couple
of classes, right?

Girls, the key to this kind of
investigation is fitting in.

It's called acting.

GirI'm just gonna have Bill of
invesend my brown belt.g in.

There. Done.

Okay. Uh, well...

so then what am I
going to do?

[both] The tango.

Oh, no.

Oh, yeah.

Hello?

[knocking]

Roger?

Everything is for sale.

Right. No. Yeah.

I'm not here to buy art.

Do I know you?

Uh, I'm Hannah Swensen.

We met at your aunt's
last performance.

I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

I baked you these butterscotch
crunch cookies.

Oh, I see. Of course.

Yeah. I'll just set them
here, and, um,

you can have them
when you're on a break.

Great. Thank you so much.

You know, I feel I've seen
your art before.

Do you have a piece
on display

at the Murrayville
Community Hall?

Guilty. Right by the front.
Yes, I call it "The Delight."

Wow. Great title.

You know, I'm always trying
to think of clever names

for my cookies,

but the customers just want
to know what's in them.

Yes. Yeah.

No. The eternal conflict
between consumer and artist.

[laughs]
It's never ending.

Your aunt was
a great artist, too.

Tremendous talent.
You two must have been close.

Very.

She had told me about this
beautiful antique hair comb

that she received as a gift.
Was that a gift from you?

No, no, but she was always
getting gifts from her fans.

And Victoria and I would have
our little dinners together,

and she would tell me all
of her wild stories.

She had a lot of stories.

That sounds nice.

What did she like to cook?

Oh, please.
She couldn't boil water.

No. Aunt Victoria had
her favorite restaurants,

and they always delivered.

Right. Okay.

Well, um, thank you
for your time.

Ciao.

Thanks for meeting me late.

Oh, yeah.

Sorry, I got slammed
with cases right at 5:00.

Don't worry about it.
Anything interesting?

Don't you worry.

I'll let you know
if there's anything

that you might be interested in.
- [Hannah laughs]

What about you?
How's your investigation going?

Oh. Well, um...

I spoke to Victoria's nephew,

who's her heir,

and he seems sort of desperate
for money.

Well, money
is always a good motive.

If he becomes an official
suspect,

then he won't be entitled
to that money

until it's cleared.

Well, I don't know
what the sheriff is thinking,

but it's all kind
of circumstantial stuff anyway.

Circumstantial evidence
gets a bad rap.

There's plenty of cases that
are solved without forensics.

Really? Good to know.

So I'm also pursuing a love
interest theory I have.

She had a significant other?

Well, I don't know, but she
was taking all these classes,

so I'm going to find out

if she was involved
with anyone there.

My sister's going
to take taekwondo,

my mother's taking
the French lessons.

You don't speak French?

I speak French food,
but that's about it.

You?

[In French]

Oh, fancy.

Yeah. I mean,
I had to pick up a little

for all the different places
that I was stationed

just so I can get by.

Is that how it works?

You're deployed to
a different country,

and you have to figure out
how to communicate?

It wasn't quite as extreme
as that, but pretty much.

Wow.

Yeah. What's your assignment?

The dance class.

The what? Sorry.

So Victoria was taking tango
lessons or something.

Well, you don't sound
very excited about that.

Well, if you can see me dance,
you would understand.

I basically have two left feet.

Oh, yeah. Let's see.

Oh... oh.

This way.

Is it this--

See, I told you I can't dance.

Now you know all my secrets.

I have a sneaky suspicion

that I haven't even scratched
the surface.

Yeah, but it's a...

it's a beginning class though,
right?

So what's the problem?

Oh, there is no problem.

I'm just gonna go and audit
the class, you know, observe.

Audit? You're just going to go
and watch.

What are you going to learn
just watching?

Do you have a better idea?

Well, I think I do.

Okay.

Um, I was thinking maybe,
I don't know, call me crazy,

but you invite me to go along
with you,

and we actually take
the class.

Better than just watching.

I mean, yeah,
that would be fun.

Um, that's a great idea
except for the...

Did you leave
your door open?

I don't think so.

Light's not working.
Power must be off.

Stay here.

[fighting grunts]

[crash sounds]

[Operator] 9-1-1
what's your emergency?

You have to send the police,
there's an intruder in my house.

-[fighting grunts]
-[screams]

[crash sound]

[fighting grunts]

[grunt]

[choking sounds]

[fighting grunts]

[crash sounds]

Chad! Watch out!
Behind you!

Here, Chad!

-[grunt]
-[scream]

The police should be here
any second.

Got no ID?

What does that mean?

Well, it doesn't look like he
was here to steal anything.

I think he was here for you.

Why?

Your frying pan,
that came in handy, thanks.

Are you okay?
-Yeah.

Can I just get you--
-[winces in pain]

Should I get you some ice
or something?

You want Ealing to come here
and interview us about this

while I'm holding
a boo-boo bear?

[both laugh]

No, no.

Look, you got someplace
you can stay

until we figure this out?

Yeah, yeah, I could just
stay with my mother.

She's had her security system
upgraded again.

[sirens wailing in the distance]

Chad, I'm so sorry.

-Ow, ow, ow.
-I'm sorry.

It's okay.

I'm out of shape.

Well, she will be safe here.
That is state of the art.

They just upgraded their
smartphone integration.

Oh. End to end encryption,
I'm assuming.

Yeah, with anti-key logger
technology.

Does it automatically perform
a data wipe?

Yes, it does.

And if it senses a data breach,

it will automatically launch
an EDR counterattack.

Endpoint detection
and response solution.

Bingo.

Impressive.

He's impressive.

[Chad laughs]

Here. Thank you.

You're perp from last night
isn't talking.

We got an I.D. on him?

Anything? Name?

No. He asked for a lawyer.

The public defender
is with him right now.

What about fingerprints?

He's not in the system, Chad.

I went through everything
myself.

Well, this isn't a burglary
gone wrong.

This guy is a pro.

He was laying in wait
for Hannah.

He turned the power off.

It's a good thing
you were there.

Yeah, well, don't
underestimate Hannah.

Ooh, she's a quick one.

Believe me, I don't.

Okay. Keep the pressure on him.

Maybe his lawyer can talk
some sense into him.

We can offer him a plea deal.

All right, I'm on it.

[crash sounds]
-[scream]

Oh, Hannah.
Hannah, I am so sorry.

I did not mean to startle you.

No. It's okay, it's okay.

I'm sorry I'm so jumpy.
- I got this.

Hannah!

Oh.

Hannah, Hannah!

Andrea.

Oh.

Mother told me everything.

I'm fine, I'm fine.

You wore jeans on a date.

Oh, I see that she did
not leave out

any of the important details.

That's why it took so long.

She had to give me
a play-by-play.

Chad told me he doesn't know
who this guy is

or why he was coming
after me,

but I've been jumpy all morning.

Well, of course.

We have to be on high alert.

That's why I'm gonna
post up over there

for the rest of the day.

And then mother is gonna
take the after hours.

What exactly is your plan if
someone does come to get me?

Oh, well, I mean,
I am a brown belt.

And then... this.

Whoa!

Oh, there's a safety,
of course, you know me.

Of course.

Yeah.

I'm glad you're okay.

And I'd also like a coffee.

-Okay.
-And maybe a treat, warmed up.

Thank you.

Okay.

[in French]

[class answers in French]

[in French]

[in French]

[class chatters]

[camera snaps]

[in French]

[in French]

He's very good, isn't he?

Hey, Lisa...

I need to borrow your car.

What happened to yours?

I don't know.
It won't start.

I promise to put gas in it.

Okay. Just...
I need it back by tonight.

No problem.

Only a couple of hours.

Bye.

You are a great cousin.

I keep telling myself that.

All right. One slice,
banana cream pie.

Latte.

Who was Lisa's friend
with the Pierre Matisse bag?

The what?

Only the most famous purse
designer of her generation.

Never mind. Who was she?

Oh, well, that
was Lisa's cousin.

She's here for their
family reunion.

Mmm.

Why?

Why what?

Why was a thug in your house?

I don't know.

Maybe because I'm getting
too close in my investigation

of Victoria's murder.

No offense, but are you?

No, I'm really not.

I mean, I've been working on
my suspect list,

but I haven't been able
to narrow it down at all.

Sure.

So it could be the noise phobic
neighbor, Jacob, right?

He gets upset that Victoria's
having another party,

and he goes over there
to confront her.

Or it could be the nephew

who thought that he was getting
a big inheritance.

Or the boyfriend,

if there is one
in one of those classes

that we have to check out.

Mother's in French class
right now.

I'm taking taekwondo tomorrow.

And you are taking
the dance class.

Yes, I am.
I said I would.

Okay. Just checking.

Andrea!

What?

Is that what I think it is?

That's a Pierre Matisse
original.

It's a limited edition.

Which means...

We can't... we can't tell her
yet, though, right?

No, of course not.

Because maybe her cousin
got it somewhere else.

Yeah, sure.

When you say limited edition--

There's a waiting list.

I can check and see how
many were sold in the US.

I'm in love with your
chapeaux.

[in French]

[in French]

-Mother!
-Oh!

Ah! Allo. [giggles]

I emailed you photos
to print out.

- Oh.
- High res.

Great.

[laughter]

Laugh.

[fake laughter]

I did notice there was
one gentleman student.

Definitely a favorite
of the ladies.

Right. Do you think maybe
he was dating Victoria?

Or maybe he was
just obsessed with her.

Do you think maybe he gave
her the antique hair comb?

He's certainly not in mourning.

I'll do some more digging.

Great.

Psst.

Did you bring it?

Of course I did.

Hannah, merci.

Ooh, those French bites
just don't cut it.

Not when you need chocolate.

But they do look nice.

Being a suspect has me
at my wits end.

I understand, Mother.

Please don't worry.

We are going to find out
who really did this, okay?

I promise.
-Good.

It doesn't seem to be slowing
you down at all, though.

You look great.
-Mmhmm.

Is that a new outfit?

It's a classic
Meryl Streep operation.

Because she's such
a good actress.

So much more, Hannah.

Meryl disappears into a role.

The costume, the cosmetic,
the coif.

One must become the character.

Have any intel on the perp yet?

No, he hasn't said anything.

He did demand a lawyer.

Oh. Sounds like panic to me.

You think I'm being targeted,
too?

Mm. You were at the crime scene

moments after the killer
did the deed.

It's possible that he or she
thinks you might know something.

But I don't.

I mean, I've been over it
with Sheriff Ealing.

I didn't see anything that
could prove who the killer is.

Well, maybe you did.

And you just don't remember...
yet.

Thank you so much for coming.

Oh, the camera loves her.

I wonder who took
her headshots.

Mother!

It's probably not
a conversation.

We'll talk about
photography later.

Listen, let's focus on
finding Roger, okay?

Everyone, just keep
your eyes open.

-Right, right, right.
-Oh, wow.

Oh.

He brought the biggest flower
arrangement of anyone.

I wonder how he paid for that.

Well, I mean, he is
her only relative,

so it would make sense
that he goes all out.

I guess so.

Oh, speaking of relatives,

we have to add Lisa's cousin
to our suspect list.

Lisa's cousin?

Yeah.

She came into the Cookie Jar
with a Pierre Matisse bag.

Like the one Victoria had.

Oui, oui.

And you were gonna find out
how many of those were made.

[both] Under 1000.

You just know that.

Of course. Victoria flaunted
that bag everywhere.

I do not want to know what
she did to get on the short list

for a Pierre Matisse
limited edition.

Okay, well, now
Lisa's cousin has it.

Right, and we need
to find out why.

Hello, ladies.

Sheriff.

They've put together
a nice event here today.

We all cared about Victoria
very much.

Now, if you'll excuse me.

She has to know
I have a job to do.

Of course.
We understand.

I think it's just a little
harder when you're the suspect.

Does the name John Smith
mean anything to you?

No.

Sounds made up.

The point is, you have real
suspects to be focusing on.

And my mother has the weakest
motive of anyone.

Her colleagues won't
even speak to her.

She doesn't have an alibi.

Well, but if she said
she was with us,

would you even believe her?

Exactly.

It would be better than nothing.

[gasp]

Let's go.

-Have a lovely day.
-Okay.

-Excuse us.
-Pardon me.

[knocking]

[knocking]

Jennifer, are you okay?
What happened?

Nothing. I'm fine.

Well, you don't seem fine.

Is my car okay?

Of course.
You always think the worst.

Your car's fine, here.

Well, you didn't come home
again last night.

Yeah, well, so much to do.
So little time.

Mhm.

Are you in some kind of trouble,
Jen?

Like when we were younger.

Look, if you're in with the
wrong crowd, I can help you.

You're overreacting
like you always do.

Only this time, don't go
tattling to my parents about it.

I don't see, Roger.
Do you think he left?

Well, oh my-- okay. Here.

What did you find out?

Just put it down.

Do we have to?

That's why I called.

It's been very strange.

I mean, actors,
you know how they are.

No, I guess I don't really know
a lot of actors.

Well, their egos can make things
quite complicated.

Right.

Now, you said you'd think
about it.

Was there anyone else
that you thought

that might have a reason
to hurt Victoria?

Besides Delores, no.

I can't believe that she would
say that about our mother.

I know, but the sheriff
has to know.

She's just emotional
about losing Victoria—

Girls... I found out that--

Shh!!!

Mother!

-Hello.
-Hi, Roger.

Sorry for your loss.

Thank you.
That's very kind.

Oh, so many cared for Victoria.

It's beautiful to see everyone
gathered here today.

In this place that she just
loves so much.

Yes, she had so many passions,

but the theater was
the greatest of all.

Oh.

We were looking
for you earlier

to offer our condolences,
but we didn't find you.

Um, have you been here
the whole time?

Where else would I be?

Um, gathering--

Gathering her... her things
from her dressing room.

Dressing room.

I plan to once the lawyers
finalize her estate,

it'll be the first thing I do,
believe me.

Good day.

First thing...

That means he doesn't
have her inheritance... yet.

Yes, I know.

I'm just saying.

All right, all right.

Now, I found out that none
of the other actors

were invited to Victoria's party

the night she died.

- Really?
- What?

So...

who was it for?

Right.

I'm going to ask at
taekwondo tomorrow.

Are you ready for
your dance class?

Yes.

Why are you saying it
like that?

[clears throat]

Chad said he would go with me.

[gasps]

Chad! Oh, Hannah!

Don't cry.

We have our work cut out
for us, don't we?

What do you mean?

Well, it's a date.
You need an outfit.

The last time she bought me
an outfit,

I looked like a mannequin
in a store window.

You were gorgeous.

Help!

It is a dance class, so we're
gonna keep it casual.

The tango requires extra--

Oh, no.

--fire, as the kids say.

The dips help twirl
the passion.

Mother.

Lose the wine. We're going
shopping now.

Oh, boy.

Hey.

No, just exit.
We're leaving, we're leaving.

-Thank you. Thank you.
-I'm so sorry for your loss.

Thank you.
It's not a show.

[knocking]

Chad, you got a second?

Hey. Yeah, come on in.
Have a seat.

Is this about Hannah's attacker?

Oh, you could say that.

He's fired his public defender,

and he's got himself a pretty
high-end defense attorney

from St. Paul.

How did he afford that?

We don't know that yet, but I do
have a name to file charges on.

Mm.

Um. John Smith.

Are you kidding me?

I asked Hannah,

and she says she doesn't
know anyone with that name

Because it sounds like
an alias.

This guy is jerking us around.

He could have been there to kill
Hannah, for all we know.

I've got some informants

trying to find out
who this guy is

and a UC, who thinks
he might have

a line as to who hired him.

Well, someone with money
and an agenda.

But we need to figure out
who it is

and quick before they try
and hurt Hannah again.

Yes. We do. All right.

Thanks.

Yep.

I can tell you still
seem nervous.

But don't worry,

we have the reunion
under control.

It's gonna be great.

It's... it's not the party.
It's something else.

I'm worried about my cousin,
Jennifer.

Oh, why?

She has been acting so strange
since she got back into town.

But you always said she was
kind of wild, right?

Yeah, but this is different.

I'm... I'm afraid she's--
I can't even say it.

Well, it always helps
to say it out loud.

I can't help but remember
that she came into town

the same night Victoria Bascow
was murdered.

That's crazy, right?

Tell me I am being crazy.

I wish I could, but Andrea and I
noticed something.

What?

The purse your cousin
was carrying the other day

it was a really
fancy designer purse.

Oh, no.

And Victoria Bascow
had a similar purse.

Andrea and my mother both say
it's very rare.

Hannah, what if Jennifer
had something to do

with what happened to Victoria?

We don't know anything yet,
right?

And the sheriff said he doesn't
think that robbery was a motive.

How does she even know anything
about Victoria?

How did she come here

and get involved in something
like this so quickly?

I have no idea,
but I'm gonna find out.

Thanks again for your time.

Yeah. No problem, Sheriff.

If you think of anything else,
give me a call.

You bet.

Well, hello, Miss Swensen.

You wouldn't be following me
around, would you?

No, of course not.

I'm just looking around, you
know, trying to jog my memory.

Well, all right then.

Did you learn anything new
from Jacob Tessling?

Just looking around.
Same as you.

How's your mother?

You mean your number
one suspect?

She's fine.

Have you found Victoria's
antique hair comb?

Are you the one who tore apart
her dressing room

in the theater looking for it?

No, but I have a few guesses
who did.

Forensics is running everything
these days.

Gut instinct won't get you
a conviction.

Yeah.

Have you found anything else
that's missing

at her house or
her dressing room?

You mean something
besides that hair thing?

Yeah. Yeah, it was a purse.

Super high end, very fancy
and limited edition.

And we saw someone come into the
Cookie Jar carrying that purse.

Same one.

Wearing the same purse
is hardly a smoking gun.

I didn't say that it was.

Thank you for the information,
Miss Swensen.

Remember to stay alert.

[tango music]

♪

Oh. Oh, no.
I'm sorry again.

It's okay.
You did warn me.

We could take a break if
you want.

I totally understand.

Are you kidding me?

You're just getting
the hang of this.

Okay.

All right, here we go.

Follow me.

Yes.

Slow.

Slow.

Quick, quick.

Slow.

Yes.

Quick, quick.

It's a 90-minute class.

Plenty of time to get
his attention.

Good point. Okay. Yes.

Let's try again.

Oh, I'm so sorry I'm late,
Eduardo.

[in Spanish]

Now, relax.

One cannot dance when one
is flustered, hm?

That explains it.

What's that?

Oh, nothing.

As you know, we have some new
students in the class this week.

So we shall begin by reviewing
the basics.

Shall we demonstrate?

Mmhmm.

Slow, slow...

Slow.

Slow.

...from the theater.

It is.

Quick, slow.

And back. Slow... slow.

Quick, quick, quick.
One more.

[in Spanish]

Wonder how many people
come to dance class alone?

Does she always get to partner
with the instructor?

Okay, now your turn.

Uh-oh!

You ready?

I hope so.

Let's do it.

Okay.

Slow, slow.

Quick, quick.

Quick, quick, slow.

Oh, I almost had it that time.

Let me see.

-Oh.
-Ready?

Pressure's on.

Yeah.

Slow... [laughs]

That way. Okay, right.

I'm sorry. I'm not very good
at this.

Oh. It's okay.

We don't all start as Fred
Astaire and Ginger Rogers.

Am I right?

Would you mind?

Uh, no. Go ahead.

Okay. And slow.

Slow. Turn, huh. See?

Wow. Thank you.

Oh, I'm so glad Victoria
recommended

that we take your class.

You're a wonderful instructor.

Thank you.

Victoria [in Spanish].

I'm so glad she brought you
to my class.

Sorry if I brought up
a sad subject.

No, no. It's okay.
It will always be painful.

She was my star.

And we mourn her,
but now we celebrate her life.

Do I know you?

I feel like you seem
very familiar to me.

I don't think so.

But I do have a cousin in Denver
who's very popular.

Oh, maybe that's it.

Must be.

-Oh.
-[in Spanish]

He said something about Victoria
in Spanish.

[In Spanish] ...which means
my better half.

Oh.

He's being very dramatic,

or she actually meant
a lot to him.

Or both.

Or both.

Ready?

Yes.

Tonya's watching us.

I guess we'd better work
on our cover story, then.

Okay.

You got this.

Just follow me.

-Ready?
-Yeah.

How did you do that?

Do what?

Make me a good dancer.

Haven't you heard?

It takes two to tango.

I don't know how other dance
classes go,

but Eduardo definitely had
a favorite, Victoria.

Oh, hello Moishe.

She sure knew how to draw people
into her web.

Well, there's no one that I
would single out

at the Dojang.

It was obvious that she had
a space in the practice,

but no one was acting out
of the ordinary.

Good work. Andrea.

Oh, did you see his picture?

I took one for you;
I printed it out.

That's Eduardo, the dance
instructor.

Handsome, indeed.

How do you fit in this puzzle?

Because if he loved her,
why would he kill her?

Maybe she didn't love him.

Jealousy.

Maybe he was jealous

because she was seeing
someone else.

If I can't have him,
no one can.

Maybe it's the other
way around.

Maybe somebody else
killed Victoria

because Eduardo was interested
in her.

Oh.

Maybe he is the motive.

Well, did you ever see him
hanging around the theater?

Oh, honey, there are
so many fans

who crowd the stage door
after performances.

He does seem familiar,
but I can't be sure.

Right.

Oh, and the sheriff did mention

I got him to admit our nosy
neighbor, Jacob Tessling

has an alibi,
so he's off our list.

Well, oh, what about this
gossipy theater manager, Tonya?

Mother, you cannot just go
around accusing people

just because she told
the sheriff

about your feud with Victoria.

What would her motive be?

She is a bit of a misfit
with the Murrayville Players.

Maybe she's always wanted

a chance to star on stage,
Hannah.

Isn't that basically what the
sheriff thinks your motive is?

Oh.

Well, what about this
money-hungry, artistic nephew?

Maybe he couldn't wait to get
his hands on his inheritance.

Classic motive.

Careful, Andrea.

I could always change
my will, you know,

just leave everything to Moishe.

Is that so?

Mother...

when you were taking
the photos

in Victoria's dressing room,
did you touch anything?

Oh, I may have,
but I had gloves.

Why?

Because the Sheriff said someone
tossed the dressing room.

They were looking for something.

So now they're going to run it
for fingerprints and DNA.

And I don't want them
to find yours.

[phone rings]

Oh.

Oh.

Sorry.

We have our phones on privacy--

I know,
I know, Mother, I'm sorry.

I forgot to turn the ringer off,
but I have to take this.

Lisa!

Hanna, I need help!

What happened?

My car's been stolen, and I'm
pretty sure I know who took it.

Right. Hang on.
I'm on my way.

It's Lisa.
She needs my help.

Just don't let Moishe
eat my dinner.

[both] Take your phone!

Thank you.

Life with Hannah.

Can't live with her,
can't live without.

Mmhmm.

Now, why don't you start
from the beginning?

Uh, my cousin has been
acting strange

ever since she got back
to Lake Eden this week.

And were you expecting
to her to return.

Yeah, well, of course we're
having our family reunion...

tomorrow night.

Okay. Um...
Please continue.

Right. Anyway, she showed up
before most of my family.

Actually, Sheriff, the thing is,

she showed up
at the Cookie Jar

the same morning Victoria Bascow
was murdered.

Okay, now, what makes you think
the two things are connected?

Well, Lisa's cousin Jennifer
is the one I told you about

who came into the Cookie Jar

carrying Victoria's limited
edition purse.

I know.

My mother said it's not just
that it's rare.

You can't get it in
any department store.

Less than a thousand
were made for the US.

Yeah, and Jennifer doesn't have
the kind of money

for a Pierre Matisse.

Well, if she just got to town,

how would she know anything
about Victoria Bascow,

let alone enough to target her

or kill her just for
a fancy purse?

Well, if it made sense,
we wouldn't be here.

Okay, but after this, Lisa,
you have to stop helping, okay?

So you can just sit back
and relax

and enjoy your family reunion.

How am I supposed
to enjoy it

when I'm keeping this secret
about Jennifer?

Well, we don't know
for sure if Jennifer

was actually involved in
Victoria's murder, right?

I mean, Chad even said that
there are several other ways

she could have gotten
her hands on that purse.

Really?

Then why did she steal my car?

Well, I haven't figured
that part out yet,

but I'm working on it.

I've just been getting
texts all night,

and everybody's here,
and everybody's so excited,

and I'm so nervous.

Well, you shouldn't be.

I mean, it's gonna work out.

It's gonna be--

[exhales]

That's what I forgot.

What did we forget?

Nothing. Nothing about this.
Nothing about the party.

Everything's great
with the party.

But I forgot one thing.
I have to handle it.

But, um... don't worry.
I'll be back plenty of time.

Have it all figured out.

So if you could finish the cake,
you know, two more leaves.

The flowers, the petals...
you know what to do.

Okay, bye.

Thank you.

Some things never change.

Going somewhere?

Hannah. Hi.
Yeah. No.

You know, just doing some annual
cleaning up around here.

You know how it is when
you just need to start fresh.

No.

You're getting rid of it,
aren't you?

I'm getting rid of everything.
Yeah.

You know exactly
what I'm talking about.

I finally remembered
your sculpture was outside

of Victoria's on the day
of the murder.

You saw that, huh?

Yes, I know it was there
when I went in to rescue her.

And it wasn't there
when I came back out.

And it's not in any of the
photos of the crime scene.

See, I knew you were going
to make a big deal out of this.

Is that why you hired someone
to threaten me?

Because you knew I could
place you at her house

at the time of the murder.

Yeah, okay.
I just wanted him to scare you.

Nothing more.

Because I knew you would
start making

wild, unfounded accusations.

And if I become a suspect,

I won't get my inheritance
right away.

[sirens wailing in the distance]

You have no idea
what you've done.

You didn't think it was odd

that your aunt offered to cook
you something on the stove?

What?

I have no idea what
you're talking about.

Hands where I can see them.

You okay?

Yeah. Thanks, Sheriff.

Roger Bascow,

you're under arrest for
the murder of Victoria Bascow.

I didn't kill my aunt.

Tell it to the judge.

Cuff him.

Really?

Now it's going to take forever
for me to get my money.

You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can
and will be used against you

in a court of law.

You have the right to
an attorney.

If you cannot afford one

one will be provided for you.

♪

Okay, yes.
Oh, thank you.

Oh, Mother, perfect.

Maybe you could pass out
the banana s'mores.

- Those are cute.
- Thank you.

Oh, smell.

Pass those around, darling.

No, don't eat them.

I just asked to smell them.

Ta ta.

Oh, Hannah.
Thank you so much.

Oh, I'm so glad your family
reunion is going well.

This is so exciting.

Yeah, and not just that, but
Jennifer brought my car back.

Oh?

And she took the bag
to the sheriff.

Apparently, she found it
behind a dumpster

and knew it wasn't a knockoff.

Okay.

Yeah, she was gonna try
to sell it,

but then she saw your photos
on the fridge

with Victoria and the bag,

and she thought
it might be important.

Well, I'm really glad
she took it to the sheriff.

Yeah, me too.

I just got off the phone
with him,

and, you know,
since my car is fine,

I'm okay dropping the charges.

I'm glad.

And now I don't have to tell
my family anything

about the murder.

No. Lisa, this is your party.
Have a good time.

And your family doesn't
have to know anything.

Family, right.

Can't choose them, but we choose
to love them.

Yeah.

Of course.
I don't need to tell you that.

Mother.

Hello?

Are you drinking the punch?

We're supposed to--

Such a good party, honey.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Okay. Hope you all are having
everything you need.

Oh. Hi, Jennifer.
I'm so glad you're here.

Thanks. Yeah, me too.

Hey. Where did you find
that purse?

Oh, it was so strange.

I found it in the dumpster
around back.

-Here?
-Yeah.

Was there anything in it?

Like money? A little.

No, I meant like a hair comb.

Um, kind of an old-fashioned
looking one.

Oh, nothing like that.

You know, that sheriff has no
idea what that purse is worth.

Do you think I could ask
for it back at some point or--

I think you should join
your family

and have a great time
at the party.

Thanks again, Hannah.

Of course.

Thanks for keeping my family
from finding out.

I'm not sure the Herman family
would understand

me being involved in a murder
investigation.

You're welcome.

It's taken my family years
to get on board.

Oh!

Hi.

Are you here to join the party?

I'm not really in
the party mood.

Right.

Okay, well, I should
probably get back to the party
because I, um...

You don't have to do this.

You've left me no choice.

No.

Okay. Okay.

You know, the police arrested
Roger Bascow.

So all's well that ends well.

How dare you quote
Shakespeare to me?

You're just like those actors
making jokes

as if I don't understand.

Were you working with Roger?

Of course not.

That stupid fool,
all he cares about is his art.

You know, you told me

that you only knew Victoria
from this theater,

but you were going to her
dance class.

It was my dance class.
My connection with Eduardo.

Oh, and your hair comb.

He was going to give it to me,

but then she ruined everything.

Well, I think you and Eduardo
still have a go.

Stop it!

Just shut up.
I need to think.

[gunshot]

You can't get out from here,
Hannah!

You don't know anything
about the theater.

That's a fake knife.

What?

[sirens wailing in the distance]

Baking is sort of like acting.

Sometimes you just
gotta improvise.

Oh!

Don't move!

Hey.

I got you.

Hannah!

What a performance, huh?
Courtesy of the Cookie Jar.

Give them a hand.
Shall we?

[cheering and applause]

Would you like to play
pretend too?

All right, let's go back
and play again.

Yeah, festivities!

Actually,
I don't think so.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...

[applause]

I got you.
I got you.

Come on, kids.
Come on everybody.

It's all coming together.

Here's our damsel in distress.

I haven't been able
to figure it out.

How did you know that
I was in trouble?

I was on my way to arrest
Miss Harmon.

I've been going through all
the cell phones that pinged

in Victoria's neighborhood
that day.

Tonya's was there.

Although she told me
multiple times

that she'd never seen Victoria
outside the theater.

Ah-ha.

We have a search warrant now

to go through her
data specifically.

My guess is that her lawyer
is going to tell her

not to go to trial.

So what's going to happen
to Roger?

Well, he's going to get
Victoria's inheritance.

He's just not going
to be able to spend it

for about three to five years.

There is justice.

And John Smith has agreed
to testify

Roger was the one
who hired him.

-Mm.
-Huh.

Okay.

[clears throat]

Sheriff, is there something
you'd like to say to me?

Um, Miss Swensen...

-Mm.
-Delores.

I do owe you an apology.

Thank you.

But if you'd allow it,

I'd like to take you to dinner
to make it up to you.

Oh.

Uh...

Well, to make it up to me...

I would be delighted.

Maybe we can make it
a double date, huh?

Ooh, I got that thing to do.
Yeah.

Yeah, okay.

Chad!

We didn't set a date.
-Mother...

-Guys...
-Just take your things.

Bye, guys.
Oh, Hannah, wait for me.
