Cheesecake is a very tricky dessert to
work with.

One wrong move and it shows.

To make chocolate cheesecake, you have
to be extra patient.

Or things start to break down.

The key to making it correctly is
consistency and timing.

Miss either one, and something is bound
to go wrong.

All the temperatures have to be the same
or the surface will crack.

Every detail matters.

It looks simple until it isn't.

Too hot and it can curdle.

And believe me, that is not an
appetizing look.

Too cold and it can clump.

Also not great. But there are techniques
for getting through that particular

disaster.

I guess you could say I have an affinity
for cheesecake.

Because it doesn't like surprises.

And neither do I.

Hi there.

Welcome to the Golden Ticket.

Why, thank you, kind sir.

This jacket looks so good on you.

My wife, Mitzi, can help you with any
questions you might have. Honey?

Customer? Oh, okay. I'll just be one
second.

Oh, no problem.

I am so sorry.

Oh, please.

Just finish the photos.

I started just taking photos at the
store, but my following doubled when I

included my meal.

Oh, that's brilliant.

I would love to follow you. Thank you.

The crossover has been amazing for
business.

Oh, thank you.

I heard that you sell special coins
here.

Yes. We have been known to find rare and
unique coins.

Well, my friend said she invested in
special gold coins that have historical

significance.

We have connections.

My husband can get his hands on gold
coins that date back to the Civil War.

No. Did you know that they hid some of
the treasury up here to protect it at

start of the war?

I had no idea.

How brave those men were.

I don't know for sure, but I think it
was the general's wife who came up with

that idea. Oh, honey.

I bet you're right about that one.

Now, I have to warn you.

They are very valuable.

The provenance is impeccable.

And they come with a C -O -A -O.

What's a C -O -A?

A certificate of authenticity.

Oh, would it be possible to look at one?

Well, my husband usually takes care of
the sales. Oh, please, men.

You know, they always go on and on about
Bitcoin or some such.

But we women know the value of precious
metals, like gold, that you can touch.

Right?

We do.

I'm going to go see if I have any in
stock.

Oh, please. Thank you.

It is your lucky day.

Oh,

look. There's smoke.

Just one second.

Shall I call 911?

No, no. It's fine.

I'm so sorry.

Is everything okay?

Yeah. Yeah, I don't know what happened.
Life is odd.

Oh, coins. Yes.

Let's talk about coins. Let's talk about
coins.

I love the tiramisu. It's a classic.

And that's why it won't win. Hannah
needs to wow the judges with something

unexpected, unusual.

Right. Okay, maybe I'll talk on my
recipe.

Yes, I love the way you do it with the
pistachios and almonds on top. Yes, and

love the way it smells in here when you
roast those almonds.

Well, here is one opinion I don't have
to wonder about. Everything you make is

delicious. Please, how would you know?
Excellent sources.

Sorry I couldn't make it to dinner last
night. I had to take over for Lucas'

vacations this week.

Again? Yeah, he messaged the team saying
he needed to take some personal time.

Oh. Well, it's a stressful job. I mean,
I can understand that. His wife wasn't

too thrilled when she called the office
this morning, and I had to break it to

her.

That's how she found out? That's
terrible.

Yeah, and the Rocket Docket doesn't have
any patients either.

The Rocket who?

The Rocket Docket. That's the nickname
we have for Judge Talley. He likes to

move at a rocket speed.

Is that a good thing?

Well, I can handle it, but with Lucas's
cases, I'm not going to get much sleep

this week.

I have a solution for that. Oh, you're
an angel. That's exactly what I need.

And so is that.

Have a good day.

Bye, ladies.

Later, gator.

Later, gator?

Mm -hmm. You are so weird.

All right. Well, we've had this juice
and everything. Mom's meatloaf Monday.

He ditched one of the lawyers for
dinner?

Okay, I don't blame him. No, no, he had
a very good reason. His friend is also a

lawyer, needed his help. He had to cover
for him.

What happened? He's sick, having a baby?

No, nothing like that.

This guy Lucas is his name.

Chad says he's a good lawyer, but
sometimes he just gets overwhelmed, you

stressed out, and so he needs to take a
few days to disappear.

It's happened before.

Yeah, that sounds like a cop -out to me.

Probably just had really good concert
tickets.

Lawyers do have high -pressure jobs.

Okay, seriously, just tell me which one
is your favorite. Ready?

Go. No cake.

I can't believe the quilting club
switched their order to whippersnapper

cookies. They decided they needed a
change.

Well, good for them.

I don't have too many deliveries to make
today, so I should be back soon.

Hey, can you look up on the computer if
we've ever delivered to the drop? F -T

-R -A -U -B.

Danielle or Lucas?

Yes. So their last delivery was
blueberry danishes for an Easter brunch.

Blueberry cheesecake.

Blueberry muffin.

I'm sensing a theme here. Hey, do we
still have those blueberry lavender

cotta? Oh, just two.

Perfect. Will you box them up for me?
I'll put these in the van and then just

shoot me a text with their address.

Thank you. You got it.

Hello? Hi, I'm Hannah Swenson. Oh, um,
the cookie jar.

Blueberry lavender panna cotta?

Yes.

Did my husband order those?

Not exactly. Your husband is working on
a case for the DA's office where my

boyfriend, Chad Norton, works.

Um, would you like to come in? That
would be great. Thanks.

So... You were saying that Lucas has
been known to disappear for a few days

time? Yeah, he's always been this way.

Even in college, he would hit a wall and
then need time to unwind.

Did you ever call the police?

I did once, but there's nothing really
they can do. I mean, Lucas is an adult.

He can disappear if he wants to.
Besides, he always comes back.

This is delicious.

Thank you.

You seem worried.

It's different this time?

Normally he would maybe go away for a
weekend. Three days at the most. But

time it's been almost a week. It is
different.

Let me show you something.

Sure.

It's over here.

He usually goes fishing if he needs time
to himself.

All of his gear disappears, he shuts his
phone off, and that's always been my

sign. Maybe he just bought himself some
new fishing equipment.

Maybe.

Is it true that you can solve cases that
the police can't?

Not officially.

If you could help me find my husband,
Hannah, I would be really grateful to

I guess I could try, especially since
the police can't get involved.

Do you mind if I take a few photos?

Not at all.

I just feel so embarrassed that Lucas
would leave Chad and lurch like this.

Oh, don't worry about that. Chad is
happy to help.

Hey, do you think maybe Lucas took off
to go golfing? Maybe he was looking for

somewhere warmer.

He's not that into golf.

I mean, he plays, but just with clients,
and he never really keeps score.

But he is a bit of a cigar guy.

Um, that's probably actually a gift.

He's always coming home with gifts like
that from his clients.

He's a very good lawyer.

Oh yeah, Chad told me that he is a very
good lawyer. He mentioned to me this big

case that Lucas had been working on last
year for the DA's office.

I didn't realize you could do both.

Yes, there are strict ethics regulations
in place.

He used to work full -time for the
government, so now he mostly handles...

cases privately.

What are you doing?

What is that?

Malvern.

Do you know what this means? Is that the
name of a client or a case he's working

on?

I have no idea.

Huh. Okay.

Well, don't worry about it.

This gives me a lot to start with and
I'll be in touch.

Try not to worry.

Your Honor.

The search was entirely lawful. The
coins and the plating machine were

exactly where the search warrant
authorized the officers to look. The

maintains that the jury is entitled to
consider this evidence.

Rebuttal, counsel?

Briefly, Your Honor, we've provided
evidence showing the officers exceeded

scope of the warrant, the seizure was
unlawful, and any subsequent reports,

scientific or otherwise, constitute
fruit of the poisonous tree.

Very well.

I will take the motion under advisement
and issue a ruling before trial.

And that sweet Mrs. Hanford was in a
state of complete panic. She had us all

high alert until the spotlight on the
cruiser revealed the culprit.

Who? A brand new garden gnome her son
had given her for her birthday.

So how about you, Chad? Any fun stories
for us? Or is it always just work, work,

work? Well, I am covering for a
colleague in a hearing.

A golden ticket case.

That's a one.

I am keeping myself well informed on the
matter.

Lolo did some good work on it. Thank
you.

This is that case.

Lolo got some photos of Jacobson's
workshop.

Yeah, I assigned Lucas Straub to this
case. He used to be full -time at the

office. He is a great lawyer
specializing in fraud law, and he still

state cases pro temp. Until he up and
disappeared.

Hannah, what do you mean he disappeared?

His wife is worried sick about him. She
said he does go on fishing trips

sometimes, but all his fishing equipment
is still at his house.

You spoke with his wife?

Yeah.

And I think you should too.

Without evidence of the crime, there's
nothing I can do. It would be a

of his rights. I'm sure Lucas will show
up soon and he can solve this mystery

for us.

Maybe we just powder it per order.

Okay, so I'll be back in a few hours.

Erin? So, where are you going, Hannah?

Nowhere.

What can I get you, Mother?

Oh, you choose.

Well, I do have a new recipe for a
picarone.

What's in it?

It's a Peruvian fritter made out of
sweet potatoes.

No chocolate?

No. Hard path.

Today, it is chocolate or nothing.

Okay. You're going to have to bring out
the big guns, Lisa.

Opera cake. Perfect.

Make it to go, please.

Oh, I'll make your coffee to go, too,
then.

Where are you off to today, Mother?

Oui, darling.

That's you and moi.

Where are we off to, then?

Wherever you were just planning to go,
Hannah.

To follow up on those words you got from
Lucas's widow.

We don't know if she has a widow. Lucas
might come back any day now, just like

Chad said.

That poor woman is distraught, and we
need to give her some answers.

Not to mention that my fraud case is on
the line.

It's my first call.

You said you took some pictures.

Did I?

Oh, well.

You drive.

I'll eat.

Hey, Lucas.

Norton again.

So I covered your motion of spread
sharing for the Jacobson fraud case

yesterday. Doesn't look like Tyler's
going to rule in your favor, so give me

call. Norton. Hey.

As soon as you can.

Actually, better yet, come into the
office. It'd be good to talk to you in

person.

Okay, so I think this is it.

So you're thinking someone here will
know Lucas well enough to give him a box

fancy cigars?

A client?

Or friend?

I figure it's a good place to start. Ask
some of his friends what they think

about his disappearance.

Good.

Look.

I see a light on back there.

Maybe there's an employee here we can
talk to.

Interesting. Who would leave the back
door to their business just open like

this?

Definitely not wise.

Should we... Oh, I guess we are.

Well, I mean, I guess it makes sense,
right? I mean, they left their door

Exactly.

As one business owner to another, we're
being good Samaritans, Hannah. Yeah.

Come on.

Well, maybe someone is coming back.

Oh, I found some receipts.

Quickly, why don't you check the
computer, will you? Okay. Remember when

used to get mad at me about doing stuff
like this? Hannah, I never get mad.

It gives one the 11th. Stop it.

Oh, see if any of those drawers say
Malvern on them.

Giza, sir, pardon me.

Maybe it's a mannequin.

Never a mannequin.

Sir, so sorry.

Yeah.

Hello?

Breaking and entering?

The door was open.

And you were looking to buy some cigars?

There is no need for sarcasm, Ronald.

Why are you here?

Oh, I saw a box. These cigars on Lucas's
desk. And his wife said he doesn't

really smoke, so I thought it might have
been a gift. So I thought... You

thought you would find Lucas.

We had to do something.

But that's not Lucas. The, um, the dead
body.

No, it's Paul Jacobson.

Who's that?

A con man.

He owns... Owned? The golden ticket.

Oh, that case that you were working on?
But I thought he was in jail.

Yeah. He was.

He's out on bail.

I think you two should leave.

Okay? We treat this like a homicide
until we know. Otherwise,

bag his hands for GSR.

GSR? That means gunshot residue.

Oh, I didn't see a gun. Did you? No.

Until we know exactly what happened
here, it's my job to make sure we cover

the bases.

Can you make

two copies of that for me, please? Thank
you.

Ewing, hey, I was just going to come
find you.

So I told Judge Talley about Jacobson's
death.

Rocket Doc is not going to give you much
extra time. Yeah, and you're telling

me. How did Jacobson's wife take the
news?

Shocked and upset. She seemed
blindsided.

And you said there's no signs of
violence at the crime scene, right?

cigar shop?

Right. No obvious trauma.

The body was sitting up in one of those
leather smoking chairs, if I haven't had

a storyline.

Poison? Possibly.

We're looking at everything. Could be
asphyxiation, use something soft to not

leave a mark.

Why would somebody try and dig him out?
Was he turning state evidence?

Or he did himself.

Couldn't face prison time.

Did Lucas think that there was a bigger
player involved in the fraud scheme,

somebody that he could point to? He had
mentioned the possibility.

We were planning on bringing Jacobson
back in to see if we could get him to

names before the trial.

And Mitzi Jacobson? His wife was
definitely in on the scam. We know she

selling the merch.

Isn't all this in Lucas's files? That's
a good question.

I don't know. I don't have Lucas's
files.

Lucas didn't leave me his files or his
laptop. He just vanished.

All I've got is what he already filed
with the court.

That's not much.

No, it's not.

Don't you find it a little strange?

I mean, it's one thing to take off, but
it's another to leave you to cover for

him and not even give you any access to
his files.

Hannah said that his wife thinks this is
not his normal disappearing act.

I guess I should pay her a visit.

I'm not going to tell Hannah you said
that.

Good.

Thank you so much for stopping by.

Hannah, the timer's going off. Oh, yeah,
my cupcakes.

What's got you so distracted today?

Oh, my mother and I found out. Yes, you
don't need to say it. I know.

And it turns out that it's a guy who was
about to go on trial for selling fake

gold coins.

Oh, yeah, I read about that in the
paper. The golden ticket?

Yes. Exactly. And one of our customers
was one of the people conned by Paul

Jacobson and his wife, Mitzi.

Wait, wait.

I thought you were looking for the
missing lawyer.

That too.

But you know that lawyer was prosecuting
the case against the Jacobsons.

Coincidence? Maybe.

But maybe not.

A lot going on at Lake Eden.

Hey, I'm at the market. You need
anything?

Uh, no, I just went. Me too.

Then why are you at the market?

Oh, because I found out that the woman
who's on trial for selling fake gold

coins loves the store.

Didn't you find out her husband is dead?
I understand that she's probably not

here today doing retail therapy. I just
think maybe someone here will know her

or have some insight into her
relationship with her husband.

Not everyone is on a first -name basis
with their grocer, Hannah. That's just

you. Are you kidding me?

Rainy Cove is the first place I look.

He loves to fish there.

She's here.

Seriously? Mitzi Jacobson?

No. Danielle's job.

Okay, now you've completely lost me.

Danielle is the wife of the lawyer who'd
gone missing.

Given the circumstances, we will agree
to a delay of trial.

Your Honor, my client would prefer not
to delay. She's waited for justice long

enough. What Mrs. Jacobson wants now
more than anything is the opportunity to

clear her husband's name. No one wants
to delay these proceedings any longer

than necessary, Your Honor, but this
date may need a few days. Justice

is justice denied, Counselor. Trial
starts Monday.

You got a second?

This is a nice surprise.

What can I do for my favorite
prosecutor?

You're just saying that because I'm the
only one who's ever beat you at trial.

I plead the fifth. So?

I need a favor.

You don't usually beat around the bush.
What is it? I need a copy of the files.

For this case?

For the Jacobson case, yes.

The state needs an entire copy of the
case from me, the defense, for a trial

that starts in four days.

Mm -hmm.

No problem, Norton. Happy to help.

Thank you. No, thank you.

This will be fun.

See you Monday.

Okay, okay, I know you like grocery
shopping, but Hannah, this is getting

ridiculous.

What are you doing here? Well, you hung
up on me earlier, and that had me

worried. What's that? Sounds like all
the good tea up here. They have great

I'll mind you. Not actual tea, Hannah.
Never mind.

Up deep. Oh, okay.

So, there's Daniel Strong, and when she
was talking to me, she was acting very

worried about her missing husband, but
now look at her, like she doesn't have a

care in the world.

She does have a really good sweater.

They're talking about her husband's
favorite fishing spot.

I know he left his gear behind, but...
Maybe you're going there, aren't you? Do

you want to come with me?

No, I have a better idea. I have new
photos to develop.

So while you go on a wild goose chase,
why don't I take your groceries home and

I'll put them in my fridge? Oh, no, I
don't need any of this. But thank you.

Oh, yeah, no problem. I'll just put all
your groceries away.

Fish here often?

Best spot in Lake Eden. Oh, I've heard
that.

My friend fishes here all the time.

Maybe you know him.

Lucas Straub.

He was supposed to meet us here, but
must have missed him.

He's okay, isn't he?

Well, that's actually what I'm trying to
find out.

You said you think you missed him. What
makes you think he was here?

I found one of his rubber boots. I think
it's his anyway.

Best way to ruin business shoes? Wear
them down here. That makes sense.

Where did you find that?

Well, we just start around the bend and
then work our way up.

Okay, great.

Hannah. Yeah.

Oh.

Okay, so this was, or is, is Lucas's
favorite fishing spot.

I talked to his buddy, who said that he
thought Lucas had left one of his boots

out here, so I came and looked around,
and I found that.

He didn't touch it, did he? No, no. I
mean, I used this to make sure that it

wasn't a, you know... It's probably a
good call.

I mean...

The water probably washed away most of
the fingerprints, but it's going to be

safe. Why do you think Lucas would toss
his laptop in the lake?

I mean, what does that mean?

Unless maybe he really did want to just
disappear and start over for good this

time.

Or?

Or someone else.

He threw his laptop in the lake. Someone
hurt him.

Chad, do you think that you're in danger
for taking over his cases?

Let's not assume anything, okay?

Hey, Ealing, I need you to send a tech
down to Rainy Cove.

Thanks.

Whoa, what happened here?

I had to ask the defense for their case
files.

And they left it... A mess?

Yeah.

Reciprocal discovery.

They have to hand over the files, but as
you can see, they don't have to do it

nicely. You're just going to have to
start from scratch organizing

Maybe you'll get all the information
from Lucas's laptop now. You know, maybe

you can salvage something from his hard
drive.

The serial number confirms it was
Lucas's laptop, but the water damage is

severe. It could take months to know
what, if anything, we can pull from it.

The trial starts Monday. I know. Is
anyone else thinking what I'm thinking?

someone in these files damaged Lucas's
laptop on purpose to hurt the case? And

maybe it's the same person who killed
Paul Jacobson? Yeah, I don't know. I've

got detectives on it. Lucas had a number
of private cases also.

We're getting a full list. I'll look
into them all.

It's about time.

Hey, he didn't have cause until now.

So just give him a minute to catch up to
you. Plus, he's got a lot of rules he's

got to follow.

Well, this is one of the couples that...

gave their entire life savings to buy
those fake gold coins from Mitzi

Paul and Mitzi Jacobson were the worst
kind of frauds. They scammed people out

of everything they owned. I'm going to
make sure that Mitzi faces the

consequences for what they did, with or
without Lucas' help.

I don't get it either.

Well, it's frustrating to me too,
Moishe.

I don't know why.

Paul Jacobson was at this particular
cigar shop.

I mean, what was he doing there? You
think it was a coincidence?

No, you can't have my dinner too, buddy.

You have your own dinner.

And I don't know how he died.

Or why he died there.

Of all places.

You're a cool boy.

You're a cool boy.

Is that the only photo in his office?

Yeah. The one of him fishing?

Why?

You see something?

Well, don't you find it strange that he
doesn't have a picture of his wife?

I mean, he has a photo of him catching a
fish, but not of his wife.

I mean, I will say I got the sense that
Danielle was withholding something when

she was showing me around her husband's
office.

Maybe they're not as close as she wants
you to think.

Yeah, right. Maybe she's just pretending
to be a worried wife, and she's just

waiting for someone to find his body
months or years from now. That is a huge

leap.

Do you think it's weird that Lucas
doesn't have any photos of his wife in

office? I don't think it's that weird. I
mean, every couple's different.

Maybe they just aren't the selfie type.
Yeah, and if she was up to something,

why would she ask you to help find
Lucas?

Well, maybe she thought Hannah could get
inside information from her

situationship with Chad.

Or maybe she was wrong, you know, since
him and Mom are together.

Okay, enough.

And if Danielle Straub thought I was
going to hand over insider information,

doesn't know me at all.

Preach.

Are you that baker?

Oh, uh, yeah.

I also do some baking.

Yeah, you're... You bake cookies or
cakes?

Oh, anything, really.

Cheesecake, that's my favorite. Every
time I follow a recipe, it always turns

out the way it looks in the photos in
the cookbooks. Wow.

Have you ever written a cookbook?

No, I haven't.

Are you a content producer?

I produce desserts.

I mean, for social media, I take videos
of all of my desserts under a different

name, of course. Of course.

My husband, Mehira, dragged me into a
difficult situation. I'm sure you've

heard. I have read about it in the
paper.

Well, as soon as they clear my name, we
should collab.

Oh. And don't say anything. No. Just
think about it. We can swap recipes.

Oh,

they have the very best produce. Mother!

What are you doing here on a Sunday? You
first.

Any news on the Lucas trial case?

Oh, no, I was talking about the Jacobson
case. Oh, um, please don't discuss

anything with your mother about the
Jacobson case.

Why? She's a witness.

Your mother's testifying in the Jacobson
trial.

I just can't believe it. You're actually
going to put my mother on the witness

stand.

The evidence she provided was pivotal in
the case. She is my star witness.

Oh, great. She's going to dine out on
that forever.

Well, she deserves to be proud.

I'm worried about this case with Lucas
being gone and whatever happened to Paul

Jacobson.

Well, the ME discovered that... The
point is, we still don't know the cause

death.

It could be exactly what it looks like.

What will that mean for Mitzi?

Well, we know she's a smooth operator.

We know she's good at selling the coin.
A lot of people lost their savings

investing in what she promised was a
sure thing.

Can you prove that she was in on it? I
mean, maybe she just believed her

when he said they were real. Her
signature's all over the forged

had to know where the coins were coming
from.

Do you know where the coins were coming
from? Who made them?

I mean, according to these files, Paul
didn't know where they were from.

Maybe somebody behind the scenes, an
outside source?

Someone who was willing to kill Paul
Jacobson to prevent him from testifying?

It is possible.

Anyway, look, I gotta get back to work.

Oh, okay.

Call you later. Yes, um, Sunday.

You know, my mother makes pot roasts,
so...

One

blueberry muffin.

And some coffee. Thank you.

I was hoping you might have some news
for me.

Oh, well, I mean, I have made some
progress, but nothing definite.

Well, I've tried everything on his
death.

Usually he writes down his new
passwords, but nothing has worked to

cloud. Have you tried variations on the
word Malvern?

Yes, but I didn't want to try too many
times because I didn't want the account

to get blocked.

Oh, that's smart.

There's been no activity on his phone.
And he hasn't used credit cards or

anything. You happen to notice...

Anything different about his behavior
before he disappeared? Was he more

security conscious, like closing the
blinds or locking the doors more,

like that?

I mean, if he was, I didn't notice.

How are you doing these days?

Honestly, it's been hard.

I had to force myself to go to the gym.

Nothing seems real.

I was wondering if you were up for a
workout.

This is a workout.

I've been walking all over Lake Eden
trying to take photos for my new

Oh, you know my customers are going to
be thrilled at the chance to buy a

Michelle Swenson original of the
piggyback. Well, we'll see. I have to

together a cohesive collection first.
That sounds good. I don't want to get in

the way of your creative process.

Since when?

Okay. So I found out that Danielle goes
to this class at the gym, and I heard

she's on her way to Heavenly Bodies
right now.

So I wondered if you would take the
class and maybe try to get some gossip

you're there.

You so owe me for this.

Thank you.

Jury selection went well?

I think so, too.

Then one of us misread the room.

You sure you don't want to offer us a
deal? It's not too late.

If you're looking for a deal, my guess
is that jury selection went better for

than it did for you. All I need is one
juror sympathetic to a new widow.

All the jurors will be sympathetic to
the victims of the Jacobsons' con.

Boring financial mumbo -jumbo.

You'll be lucky to keep them awake.

While you're under oath, do you mind if
I ask you a few questions?

Like, what is in that meatloaf?

It's your aunt's melt -in -your -mouth
meatloaf.

Did you know that Chad called you his
star witness?

Chad said that?

Mm -hmm. Wow. I just don't know how
you're going to know what to say.

I can't imagine it. Oh, well, honey,
it's not dissimilar to being on stage.

Chad told me to connect with the jury.

Explain everything to them.

Explain what exactly?

Oh, no.

He also told me not to talk about my
testimony, and so I shall not.

Well, that'll be the hard part.

I mean, being a witness is actually
pretty straightforward.

All you do is answer questions. Your
photos will do all of the work.

Chad did say that eyewitness testimony
is notoriously unreliable.

I guess people just have bad memories.
As an actress, my memory is impeccable.

Hannah, what is the latest now on
Danielle and Lucas Straub?

Oh, uh, Michelle, you were supposed to
go to Danielle's fitness class. Did you

get in? Oh, yes, no problem. It's a
great class, actually. I might go back.

Okay, well, drumroll, please.

Was... Danielle at the class?

Oh, yep. She was definitely there.

And?

What's the scoop?

Okay, fine. All the ladies were
gossiping about Danielle's behavior

Really? Her husband is missing. Of
course she's going to be behaving

differently. Not in the way you think.
Apparently, she has been sporting a

new pair of diamond earrings, and she
rocked up to class in a brand new car.

What?

I knew she hasn't been telling me
everything, but to buy a new car when

husband's only been missing for two
weeks?

You know what they say, ladies.

It's never the murder. It's always the
marriage.

Okay, but we don't know for sure that
Lucas is even dead, let alone murdered.

It's probably just Moishe. He's always
getting into trouble.

I wonder where he gets that from.

I don't think it's Moishe.

Your window's open. You left it like
that in this weather?

What? What does that say?

Stay out of my business.

Okay. Maybe we stay at Mom's security
fortress tonight. I'll pack up the

meatloaf. Leave the meatloaf! Go! Go!

Oh,

hello. I'm glad I caught you before you
started. Yeah, I'm on my way right now.

Are you feeling ready for your opening
statement?

Well, I did spend all night writing it
and rewriting, so I better be ready.

Okay. Hear me out.

Morning Glory muffin.

Brain food.

Super healthy. Not a lot of sugar.

Okay. You know, it looks delicious, but
I'm going to pass.

But everyone up there is going to love
those muffins.

Sorry, can you repeat that?

His throat was swollen shut, and how
could that happen?

Airborne triggers?

It couldn't have been something that he
ate?

No obvious... No fighting?

Yeah, definitely.

It's hard to choose. Okay, and we still
can't rule out manual strangulation,

even though there was no bruising?

All right, that complicates things. Of
course, of course, you're welcome. All

right, can we post it? Yeah.

Thanks.

There's a few left if you want a cookie.

Did not think I was going to be hungry
today, but now that I'm looking at them,

I might just take one.

Rough day?

We still have no idea how Paul Jacobson
died.

I'm starting to get the feeling that
it's going to be room to homicide.

Oh.

You here to see the sheriff?

Yeah, yeah. I mean, I know he's going to
yell at me, but I can take it. Sheriff

loves to yell at everybody, right? All
the time. He's always yelling about

something.

Hi,

Ron. Good morning. I didn't want to
interrupt.

What were you saying?

Mm -mm.

I was just coming to talk to you about
the Lucas Straub case, that's all.

We're working on it. I know. But I
thought you should know, I heard

about Danielle, his wife, that she's
been spending a lot of money since he's

disappeared. She bought herself a pair
of diamond earrings and a new car.

Okay, that's good to know.

Good. Well, and here's some cookies.

Banner.

Please take your security more
seriously.

Maybe upgrade the system?

Definitely. That's an excellent idea. I
will do that.

You got a cookie on your face.

Don't bother. I don't even get a
mention.

A what? And he calls himself a
journalist.

Who? Cecil, whatever his name is.

Plotnick? The ink slinger.

Aren't you supposed to be getting ready
for your testimony?

Are you going to be testifying?

Indeed. I'm scheduled for later this
week.

I'm going to drop the shadows and talk
straight.

It means I'm going to tell the truth.

Any progress on this missing attorney?
I'm going to swing by the golf course

today.

Honey, you're going to have to come up
with better golf plans if you're going

fit in at a country club.

Just be careful. Last time you followed
clues from his desk, you found a dead

body. I'm just going to a golf course,
you know, to find out if Lucas was

to become a member or something like
that. Well, good luck, dear.

Stay out of the sand traps.

Now that's a much better golf plan.

I'm here to deliver two dozen cookies.

Oh, all catering goes downstairs.

Right. I mean, I did check there first,
and I just couldn't find anyone.

Oh, well, it's off -season. We're short
-staffed.

I was thinking of buying some golf balls
for my boyfriend.

He's a lawyer.

Lawyers and golf, am I right? Yeah, we
do get a lot of them around here.

He golfed here with his friend. He was a
lawyer, too.

Lucas Straub.

Do you know him?

Let's ring a bell.

I talked to the guy running the driving
range and then a groundskeeper. Then I

found out they weren't doing any events
that night, so I left.

But you left them the cookies?

Of course I did. I mean, that's how I
know they're not going to complain.

Okay, well, I don't know why you
bothered. His wife told you he's not a

Well, maybe he goes there with someone
else as a guest or taking lessons or

something, but it doesn't matter anyway
because I wasn't making any progress at

the golf course.

Hmm, well...

Obviously, someone thinks you're getting
close because they threw a brick

through your window. Fair point.

Okay, enough about this. You promised we
could watch a movie if I stayed here

tonight. What do you think the cinnamon
toast popcorn balls are for?

Follow me.

You?

Malvern, Pennsylvania?

War Coins?

Close the door. Did you even check to
make sure it was me?

Of course I did. Don't be ridiculous.

So Eileen told me what happened. Why
didn't you say anything?

I didn't want to bother you. You have a
lot going on right now.

I did a perimeter check of the property.
Seems pretty quiet out there.

Thank you. I do have reinforcements. Oh,
yeah. Moishe is very brave and all.

It's me. I'm the reinforcement.

Sorry.

Can I get you some coffee and you can
tell me about your first day of trial?

Well, first day was good, but I can't
today. I've got to get back to the

Oh. Okay. Well, I'll put it in a to -go
mug. How about that? And I'll give you

some of my leftover special corn
chowder. Ooh, what makes it so special?

Some people say it's spicy.

Not spicy enough.

Peanut gallery.

Mm -hmm. Sounds perfect.

Why don't you tell me what your plan is
for tomorrow?

Well, I got to put the forensic banker
and the IRS agent on the stand.

Hmm. That sounds complicated.

And boring.

Juries, they like crime scenes and DNA,
and it's just a bunch of math.

I'm sure you'll find a way to make it
interesting.

I hope so. This is the only real
concrete evidence I have against Mitzi

Jacobson. Her signature's all over the
paperwork, and she definitely knew that

those coins were not real antiques.

Thank you.

What about my mother? I'm going to put
her on the stand at the end of the week.

I'm going to save her as a closer.

Somebody the jury will really listen to.

Well, you definitely found the right
person for that.

Hey, have you seen the word Malvern or
maybe it's a name on any of those files

with the Jacobson trial?

Malvern?

No, but I still got a lot to go through.
Why? I saw it written on Lucas's desk,

but I'm working on it.

Maybe it's nothing.

With you, it's probably something.

You know, I also ran into Missy Jacobson
at the market. She told me she's into

cooking and baking.

She's a social media influencer.

Okay.

Do you think that's important?

I don't know.

She seemed pretty confident that she's
going to clear her name and then she

wants to bake with me or something.

Well, that's not going to happen for
three to five years.

I won't hold my breath.

Well, thank you.

easy in the first few days of

prosecution witnesses have not been
filled with glitter or gold it's a trial

it's not supposed to be showy or
entertaining well didn't you say chad

worried the jury wouldn't be impressed
but this is a reporter he's supposed to

report the news i'm canceling my
subscription

Okay, well, what about this?

Mitzi Jacobson appears very understated,
even circumspect. A far cry from the

swashbuckling ahistorical tales her
victims allege she invented to sell her

wares. That's paragraph 15.

You should have started with that.

Isn't your mother testifying today?

Yes.

Lisa, to be honest, I'm a little nervous
for her.

Oh, that's the perfect dress for going
to court. You'll make Dolores proud.

Oh, I'm going to be late.

Hannah, don't run.

You're not used to wearing heel.

Pardon me.

Oh, Chad, I'm here. Hey, Dolores, just
in time.

Could we go over the questions one more
time, please? I've been practicing. We

don't want to fail practice.

Don't worry about it. Do it yourself.
Not right now, guys.

Guys, not right now, please.

Sorry. Okay, you're going to do great.

Listen to the question.

Pause. Answer. In one or two sentences.

Okay.

It's a lot in here.

I would like to call Dolores Swenson to
the stand.

I swear to tell the truth.

The whole truth and nothing but the
truth.

Proceed, Counselor.

Please state your full name for the
record.

Mrs. Dolores Swenson.

That's Dolores with an E.

And what do you do for a living, Mrs.
Swenson?

A little of this, a little of that.

I'm a private eye, so that's part
detective, part problem solver, and

part therapist.

Michelle,

Mother is doing great. Of course she is.
Did you doubt it?

Well, actually, I was a little nervous
for her.

Okay, well, that is a you thing.

Okay, okay, fine.

You're right.

Oh, I think the recess is over. I just
wanted to let you know. Okay, thanks.

Bye.

How did you determine that the coins
were fake?

They were very convincing at first.

I won't give you that.

But? The weight was off. And the etching
wasn't quite right either.

And what was the next step?

My client hired me to find proof that
the golden ticket was selling forgeries.

On purpose.

And that is a very different kettle of
fish. You know what I mean?

Please, explain.

I created a distraction to lure Mrs.

Jacobson outside her shop so I could
photograph the back room, her desk, the

equipment, everything I could see.

And when you took these photographs, did
you disturb or move anything?

No. Did you open any cabinets or
drawers?

Honey, there wasn't time for any of
that.

No. Are these the photographs that you
took?

May I?

Okay.

These are some of them.

Yes.

How would you characterize what you
captured in these photos?

This. is a behind -the -scenes look at
the Golden Tickets operation.

Everything they were up to. The hidden
equipment they didn't want the customers

to see. The certificates of
authenticity.

Ah, they were just churning them out.

How long have you been a...

Private eye. A little over two years
now.

Two years.

Hmm, all right. Is that a question?

No, no, just thinking aloud.

Why would someone come to you for this
case? Why didn't they go to the police?

Rejection calls for speculation.

I'll withdraw.

You were hired by a private client, not
law enforcement.

That's right. And you're paid when you
produce results.

I'm paid for my time.

Results. Help, though.

Results help everyone.

Including you. So, if the photos didn't
show anything incriminating, this case

would end, and you're work with it.

Objection. I'll rephrase. You had every
incentive to find incriminating

evidence, didn't you? No. No? No.

If I manufacture evidence, I lose my
license, my livelihood, and my

I did not need to invent anything
because the Jacobsons were doing just

their own. Do you normally handle cases
of this nature, Mrs. Swenson? I mostly

handle cheating spouses.

Oh.

And let me tell you, it's not always fun
having to tell the client that they

were right. But this time, my client was
thrilled with the proof that I

provided. And I took it to the sheriff's
office that day.

Let's talk about the distraction at the
store.

It's too bad that Chad and Ron couldn't
join us.

I mean, it wouldn't be a great look for
Chad. I know. He'll be with us to

celebrate. Thank you. When he's won.

It's a date.

Mother, congratulations.

You were great today.

Thank you, daughter.

How are you doing tracking down Lucas
Traub? Well, I have confirmed that he

definitely working on the golden ticket
case, that it was the last thing he did

before he disappeared.

Oh, dear.

He had written a note on his desk.

It said Malvern.

The city in Pennsylvania?

I mean, it could be.

But I did some research. It's also the
name of a ship from the Civil War.

is that it carried gold coins for the
North.

Sounds like a story that Mitzi and Paul
would have cooked up. They sell their

rotten pieces of tin.

The other thing I can't figure out is
why Lucas had that box of golf balls on

his desk like that. He doesn't even like
golf that much. You should go back to

the golf course. I need to check the
computer to know for sure if he's not a

member. This time, use a different
strategy.

Pull a double.

Wait, no. Don't tell me.

It means... Take Michelle with me.

It means...

Covert. Incognito.

Not a bad idea.

It's you.

It's Danielle Straub. What?

I'll answer it.

Hello, Danielle. Hi.

What? Hey, Hannah.

Something weird just happened. I was
wondering if maybe you could come by my

house. Uh, I mean, of course. Are you
okay? Yeah, I'm fine.

Well, I think I'm fine.

I was just hoping maybe you could help.

Yeah, no, I'd be happy to. I'm on my
way.

She wants me to come to her house now?

Yeah.

Hmm.

Let's see what fate is dealing tonight.

Check.

I am so glad you're here.

Yeah, of course. I'm glad you called.
And you should meet my mother, Mrs.

Dolores Swenson.

It's a pleasure.

I think my husband has been here, like,
recently.

What makes you think that? I don't know.
There's just some things that are

different. Maybe it's my imagination.
Why don't you just start by pointing out

the things you've noticed?

When I came home from the gym, I found
this.

And it's not normally like that? No.

I'm a neat freak. I would never leave a
cupboard like this. Huh.

And there's more.

And his office chair is not in the same
place either.

Oh.

This is a spectacular piece, Danielle.
Did I see this at the antique store on

5th? You may have.

I yearned for it for a very long time.

I just recently pulled the trigger.

Oh, um, Danielle, could you please show
me to the powder room? Of course.

Um, it's right over here.

Would you like a coffee?

Oh, no.

Thank you, though.

Are you okay to stay here alone?

Yeah. It may seem weird, but maybe if
I'm here, he'll come home. Oh.

I forgot to ask you. I saw your car in
the driveway.

Do you like it? Because I was thinking
of getting one myself.

Oh, that whole thing.

Honestly, I hardly even notice it. Oh.

Thank you for coming here so quickly. Of
course.

And please, feel free to call anytime if
you notice anything more. Yeah.

Oh, we have dinner in the car.

Ciao. Literally.

I only found a first name and a phone
number. Can you do a reverse search?

No. What is that?

I have an account.

Okay. Oh, well, here. Let me give you
the number.

You know, I could also just try calling
it.

It wouldn't be the worst idea. You could
call in the morning, offer some sort of

free cookie giveaway.

Oh, yeah.

It's one of the lines to Oak Ridge
Meadows.

The golf course?

Hmm. Huh.

Requires another look.

And did you check out that cigar box?

Look, it's sitting there almost like
it's a trophy. Well, I did look at it.

still sealed, brand new. But I still
have no idea how or why Paul Jacobson

up dead at that cigar shop.

I have to go back there, too.

We don't know if it was Lucas Straub at
that house today either.

You're right about that. It could have
been the person trying to scare me off

this case.

No. No.

No. Okay.

Okay. Malvern Incorporated. Okay.

1452 Sunnyside Lane.

The golden ticket.

So that means that Paul Jacobson owned
the...

Two?

Pick up, pick up.

So, you never actually interacted with
the defendant, Mitzi Jacobson, yourself?

No. You've never even laid eyes on her
until today?

No.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Count. Your Honor, I have no questions
for this witness.

You can sit down.

Hey, we are pretty sure Paul Jacobson
was poisoned.

Well, pretty sure is not very convincing
to a jury. The ME thinks airborne or

ingested. There's a biohazard crew going
over the cigar shop as we speak. Well,

his throat didn't just close by
accident.

There's no evidence of manual
strangulation. I get it. There's not a

on. She's going to a little manner of
death undetermined unless something else

turns up. All juries don't like
undetermined either.

I'm just giving it to you straight,
Chad. This is where we are.

I understand, and I appreciate your hard
work, but I need more. Get me something

concrete, beyond a reasonable doubt.

Oh, hey, Michelle, guess what? So many
customers have commented on your new

photo wall. They're already making
inquiries.

Oh, that's nice. Well, this one will
finish off the display.

Beautiful. Hey, Mom told me you got a
new lead. A couple, actually. I found

that the guy who owned the golden ticket
also owned the cigar shop. Okay, so I

guess it makes sense that he died there.

Does it?

I'm not sure. I don't know exactly what
it means, but what I was thinking was

that maybe Lucas bought those cigars and
then wrote down Malvern because he was

investigating the Jacobsons.

I thought he wrote down a phone number.
Well, that too.

And I researched the phone number, with
Mother's help, and found out that it's

for the pro shop at the golf course. So
I think I have to go back there, no

matter what day it is.

It's Friday.

The 13th.

Well, good thing you're not
superstitious.

Did you just knock on wood?

What, do you want some salt to throw
over your shoulder, too? What century

you living in? You can never be too
careful. Exactly.

So, anyway, can I borrow your plaid
pants?

Hannah, you can't handle my plaid pants.

I can handle your plaid pants.

I'm going to a golf course. I need them.
I have to fit in.

Fine.

On this one occasion, I will let you
borrow my plaid pants. But don't say I

never give you anything.

Oh, I won't.

Delores said yes, please.

Oh, yeah.

Direct to the source is always the best.

Ooh, what's this?

Oh, I didn't see that.

Hey, if you're not going to eat this...
Don't even think about it.

Okay, here.

Here it is.

Yeah, no thanks. What? Uh -uh.

Didn't even know this was here.

Nothing sweet, I promise. You think
better on a full stomach. That is true.

post a lot.

You want to give it a try?

Yeah.

Okay, so just feel the weight in your
hands. It's going to be exactly the

size, just for you.

What's that?

Go take a look.

Anyone know whose clothes these are?
Anyone?

Goodness.

Your Honor.

Your Honor, now that the state has
arrived, the defense is ready to

Please. We call Missy Jacobson as our
final witness.

Hey, I know it's Friday, but let's all
stay focused and try and get through as

much as we can to that.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Guest room, yes.

Guest rooms?

Huh.

Hey, did you know they have guest rooms
at the golf course?

I think that's where Lucas has been
staying this whole time.

I'm going to go talk to him. That sounds
like a bad idea. Well, I know, but I

can't think of anything better. Okay,
fine. Then we need a code word to keep

getting in trouble.

I think this is it. Be serious, Hannah.
That is a terrible code word. No, no. I

found a housekeeping thing.

And one of the rooms has trash outside
of it. A bunch of snack bags and to -go

containers. That must be him. Okay, so
what are you saying? That he knocked out

on his wife so he could eat a bunch of
junk food?

Maybe it's that simple.

I gotta go. No, safer.

Don't hang up, Hannah.

What did you do for the business?

Well, mostly I did whatever Paul asked
me to do.

Like what?

I don't really have a head for business.

My main passion is cooking and baking.

But when Paul would come home with coins
to sell, he would tell me about the

coins, tell me about the history and how
much he wanted to sell them for.

And?

And I would try to sell them the way
that he wanted me to.

Did you never question your husband?
Question the authenticity of the coins?

I loved my husband.

I never in a million years would think
that he would ever lie to me or anyone.

You don't work here.

Hello, Mr. Straub.

I'm Hannah Twenton.

Okay.

Look, I don't know how you found me, but
now's not a very good time.

Your wife sent me.

She's worried sick about you.

Listen, Lucas, I understand. You have a
lot you're dealing with.

You don't understand anything.

And just one final question, Ms.
Jacobson. Did you...

have any way of knowing that the coins
your husband was selling were fake?

No.

Absolutely not. I would have never gone
along with that. Thank you.

Your witness?

Mrs. Jacobson, you just testified that
your husband was the one to bring the

coins to sell.

Yeah. And you'd never seen them before
that?

No.

Your Honor.

The state would like to admit these
photographs as Exhibit P.

Objection. Lack of foundation.

Your Honor, these photographs were taken
by the Swenson Agency and previously

produced to the state during discovery.

Now, several of these photographs were
not submitted by the defense.

Objection. What's wrong?

Exhibit P is admitted.

Thank you.

I would like to draw your attention to
the equipment on this desk. Do you know

what that is?

No.

Well, that's on your desk, but you don't
know what it is.

Asked and answered. Sustained. Next
question, Counselor.

Can you at least read to me what the
label on that machine says?

Electroplate.

Electroplate. And what is sitting on top
of the electroplate machine?

Well, it looks like a pair of glasses.

And what color are those glasses?

Here,

you know what?

Here's a closer image of those glasses.
It might help you out a little bit.

Pink.

Pink.

Okay. Thank you very much.

I'll give you all a minute to look at
these photos.

I don't just owe a little bit of money.
And the people I owe money to, they're

not messing around.

It started off with just some unknown
messages. And it was people following

then threats at my house.

They didn't by chance break a window,
did they?

How'd you know about that?

Well, it was just a guess.

I'm also guessing they're not the type
of money lenders to allow you to make

layaway payments.

No. And they certainly don't like people
sniffing around their operation.

Why don't you tell me how you met Rod?

I left the DA's office full time so I
can make my own hours. No one would get

suspicious. And then Rod down at the
racetrack and I started this really big

streak.

Enough to buy a new car?

Exactly. Danielle and I even got to pick
out the color and everything.

And then... And then I hit a really big
win.

Rod, he brought me these victory cigars.

The feeling, there's nothing like it.

Except those weren't just any cigars,
were they?

The fact that those cigars are owned by
the guy I'm prosecuting, this is a major

case. And now I'm in a compromised
position.

The defendant, Jacobson, he could tell
the judge about my gambling.

You tank my credibility at court.

I'm taking bribes? The cigars, they get
you to the tip of the iceberg.

So you're saying the Jacobson's defense
team could use your behavior to muddy

the waters at trial?

Exactly.

But if you really wanted this
conviction, why did you throw your

lake? Don't you understand? It's all I
could do.

Anything connected to me was tainted.
The only way to salvage the Jacobson

was to let Chad do it himself.

Why, you really thought that through.

But what about Danielle?

Look, she knows I go to the racetrack.
Sometimes I buy her things when I win.

But how am I going to tell her that I
sabotaged my entire law career?

Well, I think she figured out more than
you know.

I mean, she wanted me to find you, but
she was covering for you, too.

Really?

So that's one less thing for you to
worry about?

Been here a while.

Have you figured out how you're going to
pay them off?

I had no idea that my husband was going
to pass away, Your Honor. How could I?

That wasn't the question. I just want
everybody to understand.

That's all.

Paul has been careful about his nut
allergy his whole life.

It's not like a regular peanut allergy.

People know about that. Almonds are much
more rare.

I never thought that Paul would take his
own.

You knew your husband had a nut allergy.

Objection. Relevance?

Your Honor, the witness introduced the
subject.

I'll allow it.

Mrs. Jacobson, I know this is incredibly
difficult.

Thank you. But I just want to clarify
that you did know your husband had a

nut allergy.

Of course, I did.

He had an EpiPen.

He's always been very cautious.

I can imagine.

His reaction was severe?

Clearly.

He died.

About that, do you know what he ate
before he passed?

I don't know.

I was busy doing a social media post.

I didn't even know anything happened
until the sheriff came to talk to me.

Your Honor, may we approach?

Your Honor, the state requests a break
for recess.

Come on, Counsel. We're almost done
here.

We'll begin and close the arguments on
Monday morning. Your Honor, a very

important matter has arisen. I need to
address it before we stop for the day.

Five minutes.

Thank you, Your Honor.

I know. I know. It's crazy.

I mean, Lucas is on his way to talk to
the sheriff right now. I mean, Ron. Oh,

poor Danielle.

Hannah, she's going to need someone to
sit with her while Lucas is being

interviewed by Ron. Hold on a second,
Mother.

It's Chad.

Hi, Chad. I was just telling my mother
you are not going to believe what I

found. Hannah, I can't play games right
now. I need you to listen to me. I'm not

playing a game. I just wanted to tell
you that... Hannah, I need you to get

to the courthouse.

ASAP is very important.

Thank you.

Okay.

Mother, I'm here.

Sorry about that, but actually, can you
go sit with Danielle at the police

station? I have something else I have to
do. Oh, don't worry.

I will go keep the lamp on.

What?

I'll go sit with her, Anna.

Okay. Great. Thank you. Just get them
all printed and bring them to me in a

second.

How long have you been building your
social media influencer account?

A couple years.

And what type of videos do you make?

Mostly at -home stuff.

Specifically?

Honestly, Your Honor, does counsel have
a point here? I apologize, Your Honor,

but this is going somewhere.

Go ahead.

Cooking videos.

And what was the last video that you
posted?

I don't know.

I haven't really been in the mood since
my husband passed away.

Permission to show the witness state
exhibit cue?

Maybe this?

Want to refresh your memory?

Oh, yes.

A chocolate cheesecake.

Do you follow a recipe?

Yes, I post the recipe online.

Thank you very much, Mr. Jacobson.
That's all the questions I have for you.

Your Honor.

I know this witness is not on my list,
but the state would like to call Hannah

Swenson to the stand as an expert
witness to provide rebuttal testimony.

Absolutely not. Your Honor, this is
outrageous.

Mr. Norton cannot just pull witnesses
out of thin air to drag this process out

forever. I'll decide who can testify in
my courtroom, Ms. Nielsen.

There better be a good reason for this.

Oh, there is, Your Honor.

Ms. Swenson, are you in the courtroom?

Here, President. I mean, uh... Yes.

Come forward, please.

Great.

Oh,

there you are.

Hi. You know what you need. One of these
double chocolate cookies.

Thank you.

Should we go sit?

Sure.

I can't believe he's actually finally
coming home. Believe it. He has one stop

to make, and then the two of you are
going to figure things out.

Tell me.

Is it the horse racing?

Well, it's not quite a story to tell.

But Lucas promised Hannah he would tell
you everything.

Well, whatever it is, I'm sure we can
work it out.

I have contacts who do this sort of
thing for me all the time.

What do you mean?

Rehome a few of those impulse purchases
that you couldn't resist.

Oh.

Do you mean these?

Sorry.

What qualifies you as an expert baker?

I wouldn't say I'm an expert.

So you're not an expert.

I studied at a Colford Nand in Paris,
where I focused on pastry and dessert.

I've received top marks at culinary
schools all around the world, and I have

and owned a successful bakery in Lake
Eden for almost 20 years.

I've eaten at the cookie jar. I think
she's qualified, don't you, Ms. Nilsen?

Yes. Fine.

Butterscotch, marshmallow cookies?

Thank you.

Mr. Norton, get on with it, please.

Thank you, Your Honor.

Ms. Swenson.

I'd like to bring your attention to
State Exhibit Q.

Could you please identify this for me?

A chocolate cheesecake.

Is that it?

Take your time.

It's not one of mine.

How do you know?

Cheesecake is tricky for a lot of
people. And this technique shows signs

inexperience.

You know, I'm sure it's delicious. It's
just, you know, got some mistakes.

Can you elaborate on what some of those
mistakes are?

You have to have a lot of patience when
you're cooling a cheesecake after

baking. And I can see here that there's
beads of condensation that tell me that

the cheesecake was rushed into the
fridge.

Anything else?

Sure. So the classic cheesecake crust is
made of ground graham cracker. But this

baker decided to add nuts to it. To the
crust, for some reason. At the last

minute, it seems. They're not very well
blended together.

I'm sorry. Did you say nuts?

Yeah. Almonds, judging by the color and
texture.

I'll have quiet in my courtroom. If you
cannot contain your emotions, please

leave. In your expert opinion, would you
say that these almonds were added

intentionally? Oh, yeah. Because you can
tell that these almonds have been

chopped loosely by hand and then mixed
in with the ground graham cracker. It's

two different consistencies. I mean,
maybe it was a last -minute decision.

Your Honor, may we approach?

Hannah Swenson, you are amazing. I hope
you know that. Aw, thank you.

I'm just glad that I was able to help
Lucas and Danielle.

Do you think he's going to be in a lot
of trouble for the gambling?

Well, he's not going to work for the
state anymore.

But I think the Bar Association will
probably only give him a short

I hope so.

So how's it feel to officially have the
judge rule you an expert?

So embarrassed.

I almost ruined the whole thing by
saying that I wasn't an expert. No, it

totally fine. You recovered very
quickly.

We really have to wait for my mother and
Ron to get here before you tell me

everything that happened in Judge's
chambers, because I really need to know.

No, I'll tell you.

So she admitted that she made all the
fake coins herself.

So Mithy figured out that Paul's scheme
to ruin Lucas' reputation during the

trial wasn't going to work, so she...
Made him a scapegoat.

Knowing that he was allergic to tree
nuts.

It's so awful.

And then today at trial, she perjured
herself when she talked about baking

cheesecake. And that's when it hit me
what she must have done.

You know, almonds are tricky. They're
not normally considered an allergen, not

like peanuts.

It's kind of amazing that you figured
that out.

Do you have a tree nut allergy?

No, I do not.

But you saw them in the photo. I mean,
they weren't exactly obvious.

Unless you know more about baking than
you've let on.

Your mom.

Uh, nope. No, she was not allergic to
anything either.

No.

But she was a baker.

Hmm.

And that's why you don't eat the
desserts that I offer you.

Because your mom was a big You

know she would have loved you I wish you
could have met her

Nice work, Hannah.

Norton. My little expert daughter.

Oh, Hannah.

This is what you were wearing. What?

Oh, yeah, because I didn't have time to
change. I'm sorry.

You know what? We love you anyway. Get
over here.

Yes, we do.

What?

Calls for bubbly. Come on, let's have
some champagne.

Yeah, you know what? We bought a bottle.
