I wonder what's keeping Marian?

I know she hadthat meeting with Gretchen

to go over sketchesfor the studio redesign,

but that was hours ago.

I still can't believe it's beentwo years since we last saw her.

Not enough Marianand too much Jasmine.

That sister of hers

is about to drive meand Maurice cuckoo!

Aunt Cassandra, I knowthis turned out to be

a little more workthan we bargained for,

but we did agree to hostJasmine's birthday party.

Because Marian asked us to,

and becauseit's her birthday, too.

Not that anyonewould know it,

because it's all aboutJasmine out there.

Aunt Cassandra...

be nice.

It is her birthday.

I think that the cakeneeds to go over there.

Thank you for taking careof this for me.

You are a peach. Mm!

Ooh... ah!

I can't believethese are gluten-free.

Gosh. Billie is such a star.

I... I can't.

Okay. Go! Take them.

I'm gonna move this table

and then I'm going backto the kitchen,

where it's safe.

You know, it's so hardto stay mad at Jasmine.

I mean, she's justso... chipper.

[chuckles]I'm working on it.

[laughing]

How did Billierope you into this?

Oh, no, not Billie.Lucy.

Lucy is the one who offeredmy services as a favor.

A very big favor.

Did I hear my name?

It's all plugged in.

I didn't know that Jasmineand Marian were identical twins.

Oh, yes. They used to switch allthe time

when they were young.

Used to get intoall kinds of trouble.

I'm pretty certain

that this is the least-creativething I've ever done.

Jasmine must've called me50 times.

These will beon the buffet table,

waiting for you.

[both chuckling]

Oh!

Hi, Aunt Cassandra.

Hi. Hi, Riley.

Those are great, by the way.

Gluten-free.Billie's own recipe.

Yum.

[background music playing]

You shouldjust take a picture.

Oh...

I just wanted to wish hera happy birthday,

but she's been so busy.

Well, she is the birthday girl,

which makes hermore popular than usual.

[Riley] Yeah, but, Lana...

we're her best friends.

I would take my cueoff of Jaz, Riley.

If she wants to hang out,she'll let you know.

You know what she's like.

I wish Stacey were here.

It's always more funwhen we were all together.

Yeah. Well...

just because the four of usare all friends

doesn't mean we haveto hang out all the time.

Oh! There's youropportunity, Riley.

Sorry.

Happy birthday.

[chuckles]

Um, what I've been tryingto tell you is--

Are you tryingto ruin my birthday?

But I've left youthree messages.

Then stop.

Now is not the timefor whatever this is.

Real friends...

Just go home, okay?

Before you ruin the partyfor everyone else.

-But I-I-I---[snaps] Go.

[hushed background chatter]

I am done with you.

You're gonna regret this.

I'm sorry.

[Jasmine] Everyone!Please! Come on.

It is time for cake!

Hey. What's going on out there?

I think Jasmine just kickedRiley out of the party.

What? You're kidding.What happened?

I don't know,

but it's the firstbirthday party

that I've ever been to

where I wanted to leavebefore I got a piece of cake.

[Billie sighs]

Ian's lucky he had an excuseto miss tonight.

Yeah, well, Ian reallywanted to be here,

but he had a father/daughterdance with Emma.

Well, I guess it's timeto light the candles.

Okay. I'm right behind ya.

[phone chimes]

[guests applauding]

Happy birthday, my love.

Thank you.

Is this what I think it is?

I like to let Aaron knowexactly what I want

and, that way,there are no surprises.

And I always like to makemy beautiful wife happy.

[chuckles]

Aww.

It's beautiful.

A perfect heart.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Uh, I havesome bad news, though.

Marian is not gonnamake it tonight.

She's feeling a littleunder the weather.

Oh. Hmm.

Well, I'm sure she'll be fine,

and we all know thatMarian is not a party person.

Okay...

Ah, no. No, no.

You're not leaving now.

Come on. Sweetie.

It's very late for me already.I gotta get back to the office.

It is my birthday.

You're telling methat these investors can't wait

one more night?

You know we havecompetitors out there.

We have to get the softwareready before they do.

-Okay.-'Kay?

-Mm.-Love you.

Mm. Love you, too.

Sorry Marian couldn't make it.

I think the last time I saw herwas a couple years ago

at that charity eventwe went to...

[all laughing]

That was fun!

Because it was likewe were twins! You remember?

We even worethe same green dress.

That's right.

Well, at leastshe gets to recuperate

in that Metro Grand Hotel.

Well, has anyone seen Stacey?

I mean, I thought thatshe, at least, would come,

even if Zach didn't.

Yeah, the-- the boys are sick.

[sighs] Okay.

Well... uh...

Well! I would just liketo thank

all of my wonderful friendswho made the effort

to come out tonight

and celebrate with me--thank you.

Yeah.

Thank you.

Ah. You know what?

My dress gets wrinkled,so be it. Come on!

[Jasmine laughs]

Okay!

More presents!

Uh-uh! Careful, careful.They're very fragile.

And-And the big onesin first, please.

[cell rings]

Hello?

Hey, Mom!

It was a great night.

Yeah, lots of people came out.

No, Marian was--

you know,she wasn't feeling well.

You know Marian, she's notmuch of a party person.

I know.

It was great, though.

[car engine starting]

[mockingly]"Big presents."

"You're a peach."

[sighs]

[Jasmine]Well, I don't think

it's necessary to go all the wayover to the hotel.

Well, yes, I knowit's Marian's birthday.

[tires screeching]

Look out!

[Jasmine yelps]

[gasping]

[Ian] I'm sorryyou went through that.

You were lucky Maurice came backwith your purse when he did.

Neither of you noticed

the driver ormake and model of the car?

No, I-I was on the phone.

And then he triedto save me.

Thank you.

Some coffee?

Um, I only drink decafthis time of night.

Sorry to be a bother.

Ian?

Thank you.

No, no. Let me do that.

I gotta go back to the kitchenand finish up in there anyway.

Can you think of anything else?

Well...

I don't want to geta friend in trouble...

[Ian] Yes?

Well, Riley was pretty upset

when she leftthe party tonight.

Upset enoughto run you over?

Well...

Riley can be a little...

off.

You know, overlyemotional, anxious.

She's just very possessiveof our friendship.

I didn't really hearwhat happened,

some kind of a disagreement,

and then Riley took off.

Jasmine's the onethat loves drama.

I just can't imagine Rileydoing something like this.

So you thinkit was an accident?

Probably.

Someone who hadtoo much to drink.

Took off so they wouldn'tget in trouble.

I'll talk to Riley tomorrow,as a favor to Jasmine.

Hey...

I know you're havinga "welcome home" dinner

for Marian tomorrow night,

but I thinkI need a raincheck.

Oh. Sure.I bet Marian won't mind.

Thanks forbeing so understanding.

It's appreciated.

I'll talk to you tomorrow.

[♪♪]

[Billie] And nowfor the fun part.

The decorations!

I thinkhow you decorate a doughnut

is a real windowinto your personality.

I love sprinkles.

[clattering]

Me too.

Especially the rainbow ones.

Happy National Doughnut Day,everybody.

And to everyone watching,

we'll see you back here tomorrowonWake Up, West Coast.

[set bell rings]

And as a surprise,

Billie made extra doughnutsfor everyone on set.

Yep! Come on, everybody.

Come on. Come get 'em!

Hey. I heardall the action happened

after we left last night.

Yeah, there was definitelysome drama.

Mm.

Is Marian here yet?

Ms. Robbinscalled this morning

and asked to postponetoday's meeting with Gretchen

till tomorrow.

Uh, did I just hear youcorrectly?

Did you just say

that the designerMarian Robbins is here?

In our humble city?

Mm-hmm.

Actually, she's my best friendfrom high school, Lance.

Are you serious?

She's totally serious.

Gretchen flew Ms. Robbins in

and is paying her a ton of money

to redo the studioand the executive offices.

I probably shouldn't havesaid that last part.

Mm. Marian Robbins.Here, in my studio.

[Hawk] I tell you,I knew I recognized the name.

[Ian] I wouldn't havepegged you for a clothing fan.

[Hawk] My wifelikes this place

and I've seen it onour credit card statements.

It's so pricey.

Okay.

Uh, excuse me.

[exhales] Ian Jackson!

Riley.

I can't rememberthe last time I saw you.

[Ian] I know.It's been a long time.

This isn't an official visit.

We just wanted to come byand ask you

if we could talk aboutJasmine's party?

[stammers] Well...

It wasn't me.

I didn't try and kill Jasmine.I swear it.

[chuckles] Uh...And the only reason

I know about it is because

Stacey Walker called methis morning

and told me about it and...

What if I told youthat someone said

you and Jasmine got intoa fight last night?

I-- it's wasn't...

[stammers]

I didn't mean...

Look.

It was a misunderstanding.

I overreacted.It was nothing.

[door bells jingle]

Well, we'll let youget back to work.

That would be great.

It's good to see you.

You too.

My wife loves your store.

What's wrong?

Why do you look like you'reauditioning for Quasimodo?

Who?

The Hunchback of Notre Dame.

Oh, no!

Don't tell me that you putyour back out last night.

I'm fine.

No, you need to gosee a doctor.

Over my broken body.

Well, that can be arranged,you know.

At least let me call inthe weekend sous chef.

so that you havean extra pair of hands.

I'm fine.

Ouch...

No, you're not.

[phone chimes]

[sighs]

Well, looks like

I'm going to be eatingmy "welcome home" meatloaf

all by myself.

Oh, hey, Ian.

Please tell me

you're un-rainchecking mefor tonight,

because Marianjust canceled on me.

No, that's not why I...

Actually, I wantedto ask you for a favor.

Oh.

Went to see Riley today,unofficially,

and something she saidin our talk bothered me.

Wait a minute.

Are you asking me to help you?

No...

this is me asking youto check in on a friend.

Mm.

I know Riley looks up to you

and I thoughtif you reached out...

She'd be more willing to talk?

Exactly.

Hmm. Well...

it just so happensthat I have the perfect cover.

Great.

It looks great on you... both.

So I decided to weardress number one.

Which is why you decidedto return dress number two.

I actually thinkyou made the right choice.

You looked great.

Thank you.

So, last nightsure was...

interesting.

Uh, not really the wordI would use.

What's wrong?

Last night...

It was awful.

I just... [sighs]

I wantedto be a good friend.

That's all.

Jaz is the best,

and I thought

she should knowthat Stacey and I...

well, we saw something.

Aaron and Lana.

They were having lunch.

But they're friends,too, right?

Only Lana was sittingso close to him

that it struck me funny.

I mean, Lana and Jazare friends.

[♪♪]

[knocking]

Hey, Stacey!

I wanted to returnyour projector.

Oh, thanks.

We missed you at the partylast night.

Yeah, uh, come--Come on in.

Thanks.

Sorry it's such a mess.

We weren't expecting company.

Oh, hey--oh, honey, you're sweaty.

I keep telling Stace

we need a date nightat the restaurant.

Though I'm sure glad we missedall that drama last night.

About last night--

I was just talkingto Riley, and...

Did she tell you

we saw Aaron and Lanahaving lunch the other day?

And that she was convinced

it means thatthey're having an affair?

That's ludicrous.

Has she ever met Aaron?

The guy's obsessedwith one thing,

and that's work.

Zach used to dosoftware development

for Aaron's company.

We were working on a program

to standardizeelectronic health care records

across all platforms,

but we had some problemswith the algorithm

and the workloadjust became overwhelming.

That sounds likean intense job.

Do you think it bothers Jasminethat Aaron works so much?

The opposite.

I think she only married him

'cause she thoughthe'd be the next Bill Gates.

What?

The last time you saw her,she said she'd divorce him

if the companydidn't hit the jackpot.

She was jokingabout being a "work widow"

and how it'd better be worth it,

that she was spendingher own money on everything

since all of Aaron'swas tied up in the company.

And she may have usedthe word "divorce,"

but I-- I knowshe didn't mean it.

I dropped the boys offat the Fergusons'.

We can pick them upafter 5:00.

-Okay.-Oh.

I thought the boys were sick.

Oh. [chuckles]

Well, that--They had a 24-hour bug.

Mm.

[Stacey sighs]

I thought you had dinner planswith Ian and Marian?

Well, they both canceled on me.

Marian is stillnot feeling well

and Ian asked for a raincheck.

No explanation.

So I made ussome meatloaf sandwiches.

Their loss, my gain.

As for Ian...

Don't solve a problemwhere there isn't one.

[♪♪]

[gasps and sighs, relieved]

What are you doing here?

I thought--

[Jasmine cries out]

Guess who?

[sets carafe down]

Marian Robbins,my favorite twin.

Oh! Yes.

[both laughing]Hi!

It's good to see you!

Do you ever age?

Oh, stop.

I can't believe you.You're so Billie

to not noticeall these little fine lines.

Oh, stop. I'm gladyou're feeling better, though.

I was beginning to be afraidI wasn't gonna see you.

Of course you would see me.Are you kidding?

[clears his throat loudly]

Oh, hey, Lance.Meet Marian, my oldest friend

Lance Tuttle is the co-hostofWake Up, West Coast

and a very big fan of yours.

It is an absolute pleasureto meet you, Miss Robbins.

I am a loyal subscriber

toArchitectural Digest, Decor, Dwell,

and I don't mean digitally.

This man is all analog.

Well, it's always a pleasureto meet a fellow design lover.

Well, that's putting ita little too mildly

for my taste.

I prefer "design devotee."

Oh. Well.

I heard Ms. Robbinshad arrived.

Hi. I'm Lucy Delaney,

Gretchen's assistant.

She's ready upstairs,to go over the plans whenever--

Before you go.

Um...

which one of thesedo you prefer?

The chartreuse or the dove?

Ilike the chartreuse,

but I'm afraidit might be a little busy.

Well, I am always partialto a good neutral.

Yes. My thoughts exactly.

Lucy, with me.

-It was nice to meet you.-And you.

Wow, he's a lot.

Whoa! Another blastfrom the past.

W...

Is something wrong?

We need to go somewhere privateso we can talk...

about Jasmine.

Okay.

[Ian] A security guardfound your sister's body

early this morning.

We think it might have beena mugging gone wrong.

I can't believe it.

[Ian] I'm so sorryfor your loss.

[Marian] God.

[sniffling]

I don't know howI'm gonna tell my parents.

And Aaron,he must be a wreck.

[Ian] We went bythe house earlier,

but he wasn't there.

We're goingto the office next.

[Billie] I'm so sorry, Marian.

Will you go with them, please?

I don't want Aaronto be alone when he finds out.

Then, um, I can just goright over to my parents' place.

Of course.

[♪♪]

When I left around midnight,he was at his desk,

and he was still there working

when I returnedaround 7:30 this morning.

I don't think he slept at all.

[Aaron] Argh!

I don't understand,why isn't this code working?

Aaron?

The police are hereto see you.

Oh, Harper,these are old friends, not...

Actually,

I'm hereon official police business.

It's Jasmine.

What? Was there an accident?Is she okay?

I'm so sorry.

What do you mean?What happened?

We found herthis morning.

We believe it was a muggingthat escalated into murder.

They took her purse...

and phone and jewelry.

No, this has to be a mistake.

I wish it was.

[Billie] I'm so sorry, Aaron.

[sobs escape]

[Aaron]Somebody sideswipes her car,

and-and now this?

it-it makes no sense at all.

Why would anyonewant to hurt Jaz?

She's the sweetest, kindestperson in the world.

We don't know if both of theseincidents are connected, but--

Billie, her parents...

I know.

Marian and Ian's partnerwent to tell them.

Okay. Good.

I know it's a shock,

but can you tell me

the last timeyou last spoke to Jasmine?

Um....

[Harper] Last night.

At 6:15.

I took the call.

[♪♪]

And did you leave the officeat any time last night,

between 6:30 and 9:00 p.m.?

[inhales sharply]Um...

it's all a daze.

We've all been working24/7 around here,

getting the proof of conceptready for the investors.

so I've been pretty muchjust living here at the office.

And I was at my desk,right at the front.

I can see anyonewho comes and goes.

Aaron never left his office.

This is the only other exit.

But it's alarmed.

I didn't want to worry Aaron,

but there's actually

something else importantI wanted to show you.

Okay.

Follow me.

[click]

[modulated voice, threatening]Suffer the consequences

of your actions.

It's the third onewe've received.

Aaron just keeps ignoring them.

Look, I'm notone to gossip, but...

two days ago,

Aaron and his wife got ina huge fight in his office.

I came back early from lunch

and all I can say isit was a real screaming match.

[♪♪]

Sounds like you were diggingfor an alibi in there.

I don't believe her deathwas a random act of violence.

Opportunity killingsusually involve knives or guns,

not manual strangulationand a perp wearing gloves.

So do you thinkit was someone she knew?

Probably.

The killer took her stuff,

but we believe they did that

to make it look likea crime of opportunity.

So you're keepingthat info quiet

to make the killer thinkyou bought their ruse.

Yeah, no need to tip them offif we don't have to.

You're pretty goodat this detecting stuff, Ian.

Thanks.

Now that everyonein Jasmine's life

has become a suspect,

what does your intuitionon Riley?

Well, that you were right.

[sighs]

She was lookingfor someone to open up to.

She and Stacey sawLana and Aaron

at that intimate lunch,

and that'swhat Riley and Jasmine

were arguing aboutat the party.

Sounds a lotlike investigating.

I was just returningthe projector back to Stacey.

She loaned it to mefor Jasmine's party.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure

Stacey was not telling the truthabout her boys being sick

so she could avoidgoing to the party.

Oh, and I alsodiscovered something else--

that Jasmine was having problemswith Aaron.

She was eventalking about divorce.

I can't believe it.

I know.

It's unreal.

First, somebody triesto run her over,

and then she getsmugged and strangled.

Lana, she was just

in the wrong placeat the wrong time.

Twice?

I find thata little too much coincidence.

So what are you saying?

That someonekilled Jaz on purpose?

Wait, do you thinkit was Aaron?

I think we better be carefulof who we accuse of murder.

No, it's just that--I wasn't accusing Aaron.

I just assumed you meant Aaron

because ofthe life insurance policy.

Wait, what?A life insurance policy?

Aaron and Jasmine

had big life insurance policieson each other.

I guess he's lucky Jaz died

before she starteddivorce proceedings.

Okay, that'sa terrible thing to say,

even if they had their problems.

Nobody was divorcing anybody.

So he's gonna bea really wealthy guy

by the time all this is over.

Yeah.

Okay, well, if we'replaying the blame game...

I do find it strange

that Jasminepublicly humiliates you

and then she winds up dead.

I did not kill Jaz!

-I wouldn't hurt anyone.-No one is saying you did.

Jasmine was my best friend.

I wouldn't do anythingto hurt her.

I thinkit's a little disingenuous

to yourself her best friend.

I mean, we all knowshe just merely tolerated you.

That is not true.That's not true.

I thinkyou both should go.

I have some new stockI need to go through,

and I want to be alone.

Please. Go.

Lana.

Fine.

Thank you.

From the medical examiner'soffice.

They've narrowedthe time of death

between 7:00and 8:00 p.m. last night.

Well, the security guardconfirmed

that she left her officearound 7:00.

As suspected--manual strangulation,

and the killerdefinitely wore gloves.

So no DNAand no fingerprints.

The report also details

a "strange interlockinglink pattern"

on the skinaround her throat.

So, like, maybeshe's wearing a necklace

and it got caught underneaththe murderer's grip?

That's exactly whatthe medical examiner suggested.

We didn't find anythinglike that at the scene.

So maybe the killertook it with them.

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

Hi, Riley.

Hey.

Ms. Smith, we havea warrant to search your car.

[Ian] It just meansour forensics team

is gonna see if there areany scratches on the car.

We have to clear itfrom our investigation.

We're talking to everyonewho knew Jasmine.

[♪♪]

I've never seen my dad cry.

And my mom just went in her roomand shut the door.

[deep breath, shaky sigh]

I brought her tea and toast.I don't think she's touched it.

How was Aaron?

Devastated.

He's blaming himself.

Yeah.

I know how he feels.

You know, I just keep thinking,

"If I was there,I-I could've done something."

Believe me, there's nothingyou could've done.

[exhaling]

[both laughing]

Gosh. You remember this?

You used to come overto our house

and Jasmine would always tryand get us to do makeovers

instead of studying.

Yeah.

Yeah, Jasmine wasa magnet for mischief.

Swapping placesand skipping school

and staying out late.

I just feel likehalf of me is gone.

Like, all of my memories,

they're me and Jasmine,together.

I don't know what to do.

Nobody can takeJaz away from you.

She's right here with you,always.

You know, my mom has beenkeeping me up to date

on everything you do.

She's so proud of you.

Aww.

So I know that you have beenhelping Ian and the police

and...

I need you to find outwho did this to Jaz.

But I don't...

I trust you and Ian

more than anyone elsein the world.

[♪♪]

[Riley] I knowJaz was attacked, but...

was it painful?

Did she suffer?

We aren't giving outany information

on cause of death.

I wish I could tell you more.I'm sorry.

So you went home

directly after you leftJasmine's party?

You didn't seeor speak to anyone else?

No.

Where were you last nightbetween 7:00 and 8:00 p.m.?

Uh...

I closed the store at 5:00,um, the usual time,

and then I, uh,

took inventoryuntil 9:00 p.m.

It's what I always doon Tuesdays.

Did you see anyone?

No.

But I did talk to Staceyon the phone...

um, about 7:00,for like 10 minutes.

She'll tell you I was here,you can ask her.

She called the store phone.

We'll talk to her.

Two nights, two crimes,no alibis.

I don't understand.

I thought Jaz was killedby a mugger.

Why would I need an alibi?

We're just trying to geta timeline for last night.

You think I killed Jasmine,don't you?

That's why you're asking meall these questions,

because you think I did this!

No, Riley, we just needto figure out your movements

over the past 48 hours.

I shouldn't be talkingto you anymore.

Not without a lawyer present.

Ho-ho, Billie!

So nice to see you.

Hey, Al! Good to see you, too!

Hey, I'm gonna bein Seattle next week,

so I hope to see youat the restaurant.

-You got it!-All right. Take care.

Always have a tablefor you, Al!

Say hi to Cassandra!

How's Marian holding up?

Yeah.

I should reach outto her parents.

See if they're doing all right.

I'm sure they would loveto hear from you.

Yeah.

Um... what did youwant to talk to me about?

Well, Marian is my best friend,

and I want to find outwhat happened to Jasmine.

I don't thinkit was a random act of violence.

Well, all I knowis what the police are saying.

Let me guess.

Your first question

is whether or not I am havingan affair with Aaron?

Do you have any idea

what it's liketo have a conversation

with your best friend,

that you're not tryingto steal her husband?

So they weren'thaving problems?

No! Of course not.

They were fine.Totally in love.

It was just Riley and Staceystirring the pot.

Look, Aaron came to me

because he knows my firm

represents a lotof wealthy people.

So he was lookingfor help raising more money?

Exactly.

His companywas having some problems.

They had a fewtechnical setbacks

and an employee was let go.

They were thinking aboutsuing him for sabotage,

something I had offeredto help them with,

if they wanted.

I don't knowwho killed Jasmine.

But whatever I can do to help...

...count me in.

[♪♪]

[gasps]

Oh! I'm so sorry.

Oh, holy cow.You're Billie Blessings.

Um, actually,do you have a moment?

So you say Jasminecame to see Lana a lot?

All the time.

But the other daywas different.

On the down-low,

I thinkJasmine might've come in

to see one ofour divorce lawyers.

After that,she went to go see Lana.

I didn't mean to eavesdrop,

but it wason my coffee break

and they were beingkind of loud.

Anyway, Lana saidsomething about a lawsuit

and then I heard Jasmine say--

they've"gone to the market now."

Whatever that means.

After Jasmine left,

Lana canceled all ofher appointments for the day.

So Riley has no alibifor the hit-and-run

or the nightof Jasmine's murder,

and when they startasking for their lawyer,

it usually meansthey've got something to hide.

Let's see what comes backfrom forensics on her car

before we make any judgements.

I didn't knowanyone was out here.

I'm Detective Jackson.

This is my partner,Detective Hawk.

We'd like to speakwith your wife.

Yeah, Stacey's inside.

Excuse me,I'm late for an appointment.

Would you mind taking offyour sunglasses?

I thinkthat appointment can wait.

What else can I get you guys?

I have some coffee cake.

Coffee's great.We're-- We're fine.

It's no bother. Really.

Tell Ian what happened.

I ran into a door.

It was just a dumb accident.

Did you speakto Riley last night?

Yeah, I did.

She was doing stockand there was a jacket

I wanted herto hold back for me.

What time was this?

I don't know.Sometime around 7:00?

Where were you guys the nightof Jasmine's birthday party?

The boys were sick,so we decided to stay home.

We watched a movieand went to bed early.

Mm.

And last night?

Billie came byand returned the projector.

[Stacey] Oh, yeah.

But that wasin the afternoon, right?

Oh, that's right.

Ohh. She's the sweetest,isn't she?

[Ian, indulgingly]Ohh.

Um, let's see,last night,

we picked up the kidsfrom the Fergusons',

and then, I guess,we were real couch potatoes,

because we stayed and watched TVuntil it was time for bed.

[Hawk] You said you were homein the afternoon?

You don't work?

Well, he's...

in between jobs right now.

I was doingsome computer coding,

freelance, from home.

But then, like Stace said,we were together

the rest of the night.

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

Oh, hi!I didn't hear you come in.

You scared me.

Well, that's because

I tread lightlyand carry a big stick.

Oh, by the way,I still haven't been able

to get Mauriceto go see the doctor.

[sighs]He's so stubborn.

Like a mule!

He was all crouched over

and complaining likean overtired baby,

so I sent him home early,

and called in the weekendsous chef to over for him.

Good.

You didn't, by any chance,see who left this, did you?

No. What is it?

"We must meet.

"6:00 p.m. at the park.

By the river.I will find you."

It's almost 6:00.

You want some company?

Yeah.

Hi, Ian.

Lana.

[Lana] I spoke to Billie.

Ah.

Yeah.

I thought I might justdo you a favor

and save you the trip.

I appreciate that.

Um...

it's come to my attention

that Riley'sbeen spreading rumors

that Aaron and Iare having an affair.

Yeah, we heard.

Yeah, for the record--

not true.

Jaz was my best friend.

She and Aaronare also clients of mine.

We were working togetheron a lawsuit

against one oftheir former employees

for sabotage.

Jaz thoughtfiring him wasn't enough,

she wanted him to payfor what he'd done.

[Lana sighs]

Also, if you'd liketo check my alibi,

tryChez Beaujolais.

I was dining there alone.

I had thecoq au vin.

I think they'll remember me.

Actually, I was...

supposed to be dining therewith Jaz that night,

but she canceled.

She was going overto the Metro Grand

to meet Marian.

Uh, they had gotteninto an argument

and Marian wanted to apologize,I guess.

Marian didn't mention anything

about seeing Jasminethe night she died.

Uh, well,that's all I know.

I've got to meet a clientin half an hour at my office,

so if there's nothing else?

No.

Thank you for coming in.

Yeah.

So it looks likewe owe your friend, Marian,

a visit tomorrow.

Yes, it does.

Let's see if we can dig upa work history on Zach Walker.

I bet you a dollarhe's the employee they let go.

I want to find out howhe actually got that black eye.

Copy that.

Hey, and get a techfrom Cyber Crimes

on Tywell Industries.

Let's see who was sendingthose threatening emails.

[♪♪]

-Were you followed?-[gasping]

No. Why all the mystery?

I don't want the policeto see us talking.

They took my car.

They're probably gonna searchmy house and my store, too.

They think I'm the killer,but I'm not.

Look.

I knowyou've helped the police

solve some reallycomplicated murders--

Look. This isn't a game.Someone was killed.

I know!

Which is why...

I wantedyou to keep this for me.

If the police found this...

well, I'm afraidIan wouldn't understand.

This belonged to Jasmine.

I was with Jazthe day she saw the necklace.

I knew Aaronwould buy it for her,

so I bought the other onejust like it.

I know it was dumb,but I thought it would be fun,

and now it makes melook like a killer,

because whoever murdered Jaz,

they mugged her,

which meansthey took her necklace.

So having that necklacemakes me look even more guilty.

Do you have any proofthat this wasn't Jasmine's?

I didn't keep the receipt.

But I-I think

the lady I bought the necklacefrom might remember me,

but the storewas really busy that day.

Keep it for me?

Please.

Nothing feels safethese days.

[train whistle blows]

[crossing bells clanging]

[sighing]

All right, well,

I guess I'll take thisto Ian tomorrow.

No. I'm gonna be close.

I can take it to himafter the farmer's market.

Okay. Well...

let me try to call him.

[phone line rings]

[message plays]You've reached Ian Jackson.

Please leave a message.[beep]

Hi, Ian. It's me.

Uh, give me a callwhen you can, all right?

Talk soon.

It's really weirdthat I can't reach him.

[♪♪]

The ex.

[Lance] We all know

cyber criminalsare out there,

waiting for usto let our guard down.

[whispers]Hey, what's with Lance?

Does he have a crush on

your friend, Marian,or something?

He won't stoptalking about her.

I think he's trying

to get herto redecorate his place

without telling her.

He keeps asking meto ask her decorating questions.

Man, sometimes,that guy is a total enigma.

[Lance speaking, indistinct]

Hey.

Ohh! Hi.

Hi.

I was going stir-crazy.

I thought maybe doing some workmight get me out of my own head.

-Doesn't mean that they are.-That's right.

What is going on?Where is Maurice?

[Maurice]What? You don't like my set-up?

Maurice?

Over here. By the spices.

What is this?

The doc said bed rest for my back.

This way I get to keep an eye on my kitchen

from the bed.

Well, as long as dinner servicegoes off without a hitch,

I don't carehow you run your kitchen.

Did you talk to Billie?

Things have beena little weird between us.

I just don't knowhow to talk to Billie about it.

Ah, trust me. With women,

it's always betterto rip off the Band-aid.

So where are wewith the emails?

Uh, the tech from Cyber Crimestracked them to an IP address

from a computerat the library.

Were they able to get usa name on the email account?

-Yes.-And?

"William Shakespeare."

Great.

[librarian] I'm sorry,but we don't keep a list

of who usesthe public computers.

-[cell ringing]-Forensics. Excuse me.

Is there CCTV footage

that might show us who wasusing which computers and when?

Sorry, we don't usesecurity cameras here.

We have a duty to protectthe privacy of our patrons.

Okay. Thank you for your time.

So what do they have?

The scratches on Riley's car

don't matchthe ones on Jasmine's.

So we're back to square one.

Yeah. And I still can'tget ahold of Marian.

Okay, let's go overto Riley's store

and let her knowher car's clear.

[Billie] I need to let Ianknow that I called the jeweler

and they remember sellinga second necklace

to someone who soundeda lot like Riley.

You know, from what you said,

it sounds like maybeRiley just needs a friend.

I was gonna go check on her.

I'll go with you.

[door bell jingles]

Riley?

Hello?

Anybody here?

[door bell jingles]

What are you doing here?

I left you a message.

[♪♪]

I'm gonna check the back.

What's wrong?

These two dresses...

Something about 'em.

You need to see this.

[gasping]

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

Looks likeit happened late last night.

We found a suicide note,and this was in Riley's pocket.

Jasmine's birthday necklace.

That's whatI was calling you about.

Riley has the same necklace,

that's the one Cassandrabrought down to the station.

She gave it to melast night and--

didn't you get it?

I didn't.

I'm gonna need it, though.

Looks like Riley confessedto everything-- the hit-and-run,

Jasmine's murder.

The note said she couldn't livewith what she'd done.

I can't believe it.

I mean, why would she wantto hurt Jaz?

Well, Jasmine embarrassed herat the birthday party.

Riley was alreadyemotionally on edge.

That might've put her over.

Marian? I just need you to signyour witness statement, please.

Yeah. Okay.

Excuse me.

Something elseI learned yesterday--

Jasmine may have been seeinga divorce lawyer in Lana's firm.

So they were having problems.

Riley wasn't wrong about that.

I know I didn'treturn your call last night.

There's something with Emma.It's a long story.

I just want you to knowthat I'm sorry.

Hey. We got to get back.

We have to get to the station.

[Marian sighs]

I had no idea that my sistertreated Riley so badly.

Ah, Jasmine didn't meanto hurt Riley.

They're friends.Friends argue.

Yeah.

But she couldn't have knownwhat would happen.

It's just another example ofJaz living in a fantasy world.

You know, in her mind,she was the star attraction,

and we're all just her fans.

You know, she even got

my parentsto remortgage their house.

Wait. What?

Yeah, to investin Aaron's company.

She told themthey stood to make millions.

You know my parents--they were teachers.

They're been on a fixed incomesince they retired,

they barely get by as it is.

I had no idea.

It's just another example ofJaz living in a fantasy world,

you know.

You know, I think she believedeverything she said,

even what she told my parents.

[deep breath, heavy sigh]

Now that she's gone, I...

I don't know,a part of me is relieved

that I don't have to worry

about cleaning upher messes anymore.

The other part of me

just doesn't knowwhat I'm gonna do without her.

Come here, girl.

All right.Thank you for that.

Hey, so I know it seems like

we have the killerand her confession,

but I just got some reallyodd news from the lab.

[Ian] Go on.

They dustedthe prescription bottle

we found at the crime scene,

but they only came upwith one set of fingerprints,

and they don't belong to Riley.

Whose prints are they?

Well, there's no matchin the system.

Well, I just got off the phonewith a pharmacy in New York.

We got a hit fromthe partial prescription number

on the pill bottle.

[sighs]

[Billie] You know,I was thinking

maybe me, you, and Ian

could have a little simple"good friends" dinner.

Make up for that "welcome home"dinner that we missed.

Mm. I think it would be lovelyto spend time with good friends.

-Yeah, thank you.-Good.

[knocking at door]

I'll get it.

Hey.

What's wrong?

I need to speak to Marian.

[footsteps]

Hey, Ian.

Hi, Marian.

I need to ask you a question.

Lana said that you were supposedto meet Jasmine at your hotel

the night she died.

How come you didn'ttell me that earlier?

She never showed.It was typical Jasmine.

You know, she's alwayson her own schedule.

I'm sorry, I didn't thinkit was important.

I'm gonna need you to come downto the station with me.

Uh...

yeah, of course.

Okay, what's reallygoing on here?

Those weren't

Riley's sleeping pillsat the crime scene.

They belong to Marian.

[Marian] I won't be long.It's okay.

[♪♪]

You should've told meyou didn't have an alibi.

I was coming to townfor the birthday party

and to take up the design jobatWake Up, West Coast,

and when I arrived,I got a very nasty shock.

My parents had just gottena call from a mortgage company,

saying that they were gonnalose their house.

You didn't knowthey were having trouble?

The house should've been fine,

because I helped them pay offtheir mortgage last year,

with my own savings.

I was in town one day,

and that's when I learned

that Jasmine had talkedmy parents into

taking every pennythat they had

and putting itinto Aaron's company.

As in investment?

[sighs] Yeah.

But they should've known theyhad a chance to lose that money.

No, because Jasmine regaledthem with all these fantasies.

They were gonna be millionaires10 times over.

So...

I immediatelyconfronted Aaron,

and that's when he told me

that his companywas in financial straits,

and that my parents' moneywas already long gone.

[sighs] So thenhe told Jaz what I'd done

and she was livid.

What'd she do?

She uninvited me to "her"--[chuckles dryly]

...herbirthday party.

[stammers]And I was heartsick

over what happenedwith my parents,

and I was mad at Jaz,

so I just texted Billie

and told herI wasn't feeling well.

Why didn't youtell me this before?

'Cause it's family business.

I don't airfamily dirty laundry.

Not even with friends.

[♪♪]

All right, tell me aboutthe night Jasmine died.

[Marian sighs]

Well, Jaz called mewhen I was out,

so she left a messagewith hotel reception.

She said she was comingto the hotel and...

I waited in my room all night,she never showed.

[♪♪]

It looks bad.

It looks really bad.

Why would she killher own sister?

I mean, what was her motive?

And why kill Riley?

There was somethingat the store.

I noticed it when Marian and Ifirst got there,

but then...

Hawk discovered Riley's bodyand things just got...

No. I understand.What'd you notice?

There were two ofthe exact same dresses

in that front window.

I'm pretty sureit wasn't there

last time I was at the store.

By "exact same,"you meanidentical?

So if this is some kind of cluethat Riley had left behind...

Then it pointsright to Marian.

[Cassandra sighs]

Hey, I almost forgot.

Ian saidhe never got that necklace.

Yeah, I stopped by the station,

but he was kind of busy,

so I didn't have a chanceto give it to him.

Oh, really?

Yeah, he wasreally preoccupied.

Yeah. That's the word.

[quietly] Oh.

I mean, he has beenreally busy with this case,

and he did mention somethingabout Emma.

I don't know. He...He's just not himself lately.

I'm beginning to thinkthere's something weird

going on with him.

But, you know, if he and Icould just connect...

I know I'd feela lot better about things.

Yeah, well, we've beentalking up here for ages.

And I left one ofthe new waiters

in charge ofthe reservation book,

so I should get back down there.

[sighs]

Marian Robbinsreturned the car yesterday

'cause the engine lightcame on.

We gave her a new oneand sent her on her way.

She got the supplementalinsurance coverage,

so we didn't say anythingabout the dent.

Cars get dentedall the time.

Okay, thank you.

[♪♪]

I'll miss you,double-boiler.

I'm sorry, did you just sayyou'd miss that pot?

It's my favorite.

You want to talk about it?

I'm just tryingto do what's best.

I hope you know that.

You and Mom only wantwhat's best for me, I know.

[chuckles softly]

[doorbell chimes]

I'll be right back, okay?

Hey, I know I shouldn't justcome to your house like this,

but it's important.

I found somethingyou need to see.

Thanks for coming overand helping.

I was serious when I said

this is a top-tendessert favorite.

Girl, you had me at "mousse."

What's wrong?

I just wish my momlistened to me like you do.

Listen,when I was a little girl,

it was just me and my father.

He was a policeman,like your dad.

He was busy a lot.

Sometimes, I thoughthe was too busy to listen to me.

Was he?

Well, I thought he was,

so one day,I decided to sit down

and tell him how I felt,no matter what happened.

You did?

Mm-hmm.So I made us some hot cocoa

and we sat downand we talked it out,

and he promised me,from that day on,

he would always listen to me.

Hot cocoa?Mm-hmm.

Hmm. I think that might work.

I'm gonna try that tomorrowwhen I see her.

Oh, you're gonna seeyour mom tomorrow?

She's in town?

Yeah. Dad and I had dinnerwith her last night.

She's not nearlyas good a cook as you are,

but Dad didn't seem to mind.

Well... I highly recommendthe hot cocoa.

It works wonders.

Thanks for being my friendand for listening.

Oh. Always.No matter what.

All right!Let's mousse going, now.

[door opens]

Sorry I'm late.

I had to go to Aaronand Jasmine's house.

Well,

we left some chocolate moussein the fridge for you,

and your daughteris a very talented chef.

You're going?

I thought we could sitand catch up.

Well, it's lateand I'm really tired, so.

There's something importantI want to talk to you about.

Look, I don't want youto hear this from anyone else...

Aaron discoveredhe's no longer the beneficiary

on his wife'slife insurance policy.

It's Marian.

Oh...

With Jasmine dead,

she stands to receive a payoutof over $2 million.

Ian, I've known Mariansince we were seven years old.

We may not be as closeas we once were,

but this just isn'tthe person she is.

I mean, okay,

maybe Jasmine made thingsreally tough

for Marian and her parents,but still...

I agree, the Marian I rememberwould never hurt anyone...

But people change.

[♪♪]

What's wrong?

I have to figure outwhat happened.

I mean...

who hatedJasmine enough to kill her?

A-And I can't take Marianout of the equation

just because she's my friend.

Gonna be okay?

I think Ian's ex-wifeis back in the picture.

Well...

she is a part of Emmaand Ian's life.

Maybe.

I just can't figure out whyhe's trying to keep it a secret.

[Lucy] I was watchingthe news this morning.

It's such a sad story.

I know Jasminewas kind of intense,

but still, her twin?

Man, my siblingsdrive me crazy,

but I can't ever imagine gettingthat kind of mad at one of 'em.

-Yeah.-Hey, guys.

Thank you so muchfor gathering those photos.

I really want to get them backto Jasmine's parents.

Well, your wish is our command.

You wouldn't believehow many pictures

I had to go throughfor the slide show.

Jasmine and Aaron sureseem like they're in love.

Wait a minute.

I know that face.

Do you have the footage

from the segment we dida few weeks ago

on medical technologiesfor smart phones?

Yeah. One sec.

I knew I knew that face!

Photographic memoryfor the win.

She was the media liaisonfor Bellflower-Franks,

Tywell Industries'biggest competitor.

Wait. How could Harper

be the media liaisonat Bellflower-Franks

and be the assistantat Aaron's company?

We need to figure outwhat Harper was doing

working for both companiesat the same time.

I'm gonna assign youboth a story.

Uh, I hate to break it to you,

but you can'tassign us a story.

You're a chef.

[Lucy laughs]

Why don't we just call it

a little extra-credit assignmentbetween friends, hmm?

Okay.

[cell ringing]

Hang on.

Oh, hey, Aaron.

Well, sure, I'll meet you therein a half-hour.

Okay, thanks.

Bye, guys.

Bye.

I still find it strangethat Jasmine

changed the beneficiaryon her insurance policy

the day ofher birthday party.

It's like she hada premonition of her own death.

Especially if she wasgetting a divorce.

I mean, with Aaron's businessfalling apart

and the marriage on the rocks,

that insurance policycould've looked like

a really good wayto save his company.

Especially if he knew thatJasmine wanted to leave him.

So you're saying

Jasmine made Marianthe new beneficiary,

and Aaron killed her

before he realizedwhat she'd done?

[Ian] Exactly.

That's an interesting theory,but he's got an alibi.

His assistant.

And there's stillMarian's prescription bottle,

with her prints all over it.

Hey, just out of curiosity,

can you get mea list of everyone

Tywell Industriesowes money to?

Sure.

It should includeall the investors.

And reach outto Fortiscue and McMillan,

to see if you can dig upthe lawyer that Jasmine saw.

Copy that.

[keys clacking]

[♪♪]

Hello?

Hello?

Hello?

Aaron? Are you here?

[♪♪]

Aaron, is that you?

[heavy door thuds and bangs]

[brakes screeching, crashing]

Zach?

Are you okay?

[groans] I'm fine.

Look, it's not what you think.

You gotta believe me.

I'm okay.I'm okay, thanks.

[police radios cracklingindistinctly]

Paramedics are on their way.

Okay.

You know, he went right throughthat emergency exit.

No alarm went off.

So Aaron could've leftat any point

the night of Jasmine's death.

And no onewould've been the wiser.

So what's gonna happento the case now?

We'll look into Aaron and Zach.

Well, what about Marian?

Ah, we still can'trule her out.

You thinkZach sabotaged Tywell's program?

I definitely thinkhe's connected

to the threatening emailsthat Aaron's been getting.

Well, I should go.

Hey.

We should talk.

Later tonight?

[♪♪]

Have you ever seen this personusing one of the computers?

Never seen him before.

But her...

She's here all the time.

She's always onone of those computers.

[♪♪]

I don't know whatyou're talking about.

I was home all night.

We have a librarianthat will testify

that you were sitting at one ofthe computers at 7:00 p.m.

the night Jasmine died.

But I-I told you,I was home.

I told you.I talked to Riley.

Your cell phone pinged a towerby the library.

So now we knowyou were at least

a 25-minute drive awayfrom Jasmine's office.

And we spoketo your neighbor.

She says that the kidswere at her house

for dinner and a movie,

then you picked them up at 8:15.

That was a different night.

My neighbor is just confusedabout the dates.

Stacey, stop!

You're not doing youor Zach any favors.

Just tell us the truth.

Jasminewas a thoughtless person.

The way she treated me and Lana,

and especially Riley.

And I'm the onewho convinced Riley

to take heradvertising business to Jaz.

You feel responsible.

Yeah.

I got Jaz the jobat the advertising agency.

I used to run their social mediabefore I had my kids,

so when she was lookingfor a new gig,

I put in a good word for her.

And she didn't have your backwhen it came to your husband.

No, and she and Aaronhad no problem

throwing Zachunder the bus.

The company was alreadyrunning through a lot of money.

It's typical for a start-up,

but then something went wrongwith a proprietary algorithm

that Zach was working on and--

They blamed him.

Yeah, they basicallyaccused him of sabotage.

The tech worldis a very small place

and nowhe can't get another job

and we're broke.

And everything we worked for,including our house,

it's all down the drain!

I'm sorry.

I begged Jasmineto talk to Aaron,

to explain that Zachwasn't the guy responsible,

but she wouldn't.

And then Jaz started hinting

that Aaronwas thinking of suing us.

I was terrified.

I knew I had to stayon Jaz's good side, if I could.

You know,talk her out of it?

But I was also angry, too.

So you started sendingthreatening emails?

Yeah.

Do you know where Zach waswhile you were at the library?

[voice cracks] No.

[♪♪]

[creaking]

[Maurice]Watch out!

No! I mean watch out behind you!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!Don't hit me!

What are you doing here?

The front door was locked,so I came around back.

[sighs]

Why weren't you at the office?

I was running late

and when I got there,

there werepolice were everywhere, so.

[Aaron sighs]

I'm sorry.

Ever since Jaz died...

...everything's beenkind of a mess.

Look, I don't wantto make things worse for Marian,

but I started thinking,could Marian pretend to be Jaz?

You know, like they didwhen they were kids?

I don't understand.Why would she do that?

Because Marianwanted the money.

So she dresses up like Jaz,

she goes inand she changes

the beneficiaryon the insurance.

Ohh.

That soundsreally far-fetched, Aaron.

No, y-you don't understand.

Marian came to my officethe day before Jaz died.

She started accusing me ofstealing their parents' money,

and then she said that I wasgonna pay for what I'd done.

So, Harper heard you arguingwith Marian and not Jasmine?

Uh, Harper never saidanything to me,

but, yeah,it was definitely Marian,

and she was angry.

She told that me that she'dspent all of her own savings

paying off their parents' house.

I didn't know that.

Jasmine never told me that.

So you think Marianpretended to be Jasmine?

Named herselfthe new beneficiary

so she could murder her twin

and then collectthe money?

Why?

To pay off their parents' house?

I don't know.

Maybe I'm grasping at straws,

but I just can't think ofany other reason

why Jaz would changethe beneficiary like that.

Aaron...

I'm not really surehow to tell you this, but...

I think Jasminewas filing for divorce.

And that would be a good reasonto take you off the policy.

This-- Is this true?

She was talking to a divorcelawyer at Lana's office.

I'm really sorry.

I didn't kill Jaz.

I loved her.

It was me.

I was the onesending those emails.

I went to the office to tryand delete them off the server.

Stacey had nothingto do with it.

It's true.

I was afraid you wouldtrace them back to me,

you'd thinkI killed those women.

Your wife already told us

you were tryingto cover for her.

We know she sent the emails,

and we also knowthat the two of you

weren't togetherthe night Jasmine died.

Look, just tell uswhere you were,

and we can verify your alibi,and you can walk out of here.

I wish I could.

I was pretty buzzedthat night,

so time was kind of funnyin my head.

I know I was at a bar.

Sometimes, having a few drinksmakes me feel like

things in my lifearen't completely messed up.

After that, I got into itwith one of the bouncers.

The black eye?

Yeah.

I-I went for a walkto clear my head after.

I didn't see anybody

and nobody saw me.

I don't have an alibi.

[sighs]

[♪♪]

Thank you so muchfor agreeing to speak with us.

I know you're justthe media liaison

for Bellflower-Franks,

but I was really impressedwith you when we met.

Well, actually, I just gota well-earned promotion.

I'm the new Executive VPof Sales.

That is so impressive.

Uh, y-yes. Very.Very impressive.

Shall we start?

-Yes. Ahem.-Great.

Okay. We are... rolling.

What's it like

working fortwo competing companies

at the exact same time?

[stammers] W-- I...

How did you know that--

I thinkwe, and the police,

will be very interestedin the answer to that question.

[♪♪]

[Hawk] We've been to every barin the neighborhood.

This has gotta be it.

Excuse me.

I'm Detective Jackson.

This is my partner,Detective Hawk.

Was this guy in the baron Tuesday night?

Yeah, he was drinkingall through the game

and being loud,

then he got mad'cause his basketball team lost,

so I told himto take it down a notch.

That's whenhe tried to punch me.

He tripped and hit his faceon the bar.

Scout's honor.

Do you rememberwhat time this was?

Maybe 7:30-ish?

Whenever the basketball gamewas over.

[♪♪]

Okay.

Here's the list of everyoneAaron's company owes money to,

including all the investors.

[phone rings]

Yeah, I can hold.

Detective Jackson.

Aaron?

And he's willingto talk to us?

[snaps fingers]

So Harper really worksfor Bellflower-Franks.

Harper was paidto sabotage Aaron's company,

guaranteeingthat Bellflower-Franks

beat him to marketwith a similar software system.

"To market..."

Now, where did I...?

Which they did.

[click]

Bellflower-Frankssent out this press release

the day Jasmine died.

The sabotage worked.

Bellflower-Franksis now in talks

with the largesthealth insurance network

in the country

to do a multi-million-dollardeal.

Which means Tywell Industrieswill be finished.

None of its investorswill get their money back.

Well, if Aaron knewabout Bellflower-Franks,

why was he still workingthe night Jasmine died?

They were still in talks,the deal wasn't done yet.

I think he was tryingto give himself an alibi.

We know he didn't realize

that Jasminechanged the beneficiary

on the insurance policy or--

Actually, even if Aarondid know about the change,

he can still legallysue Marian for the money,

so long as Jasminepaid the premiums

with community money.

Really?

We did a story a few months ago

on estate planningin Washington,

which is one of the few"community property" states

in the country.

Life insurance paidwith community money

entitles the spouseto death benefits.

And that isa $2-million motive.

So, if Aaron is the killer,

we gotta tell Ian.

[♪♪]

I can't believe this.

How did I miss this?

[Ian] Thank you for meeting us.

Yeah. Well, I was atmy granddaughter's play,

but happy to come downand help Aaron and the police,

any way I can.

So...

Jasmine was in hereat lunchtime.

I think it was her birthday.

She wanted to changethe beneficiary

because she believed

that her sister, Marian,

was the most responsible personthat she knew.

Jasmine's parentswere getting old.

She wanted to make surethat the money

was managed properly in caseanything happened to her.

According to Aaron,

Marian was in his officehaving a fight with him

at the exact same time.

So Aaron's theory ofMarian pretending to be Jasmine

is a wash.

Just so I'm sure--

if Marian murdered Jasmine,

she can't make any moneyoff this crime, correct?

Exactly.

The "Slayer Rule" states

that a murderer cannot benefitfrom his or her crime,

no matter what.

So, in this case,who gets the money?

Well, since this policyis community property,

Aaron could suefor half the money.

Only half?

Yes.

But in this case,

Aaron's agreedto sign a consent form

waiving his rightsto all the money.

Which means that the monies

would goto the secondary beneficiaries--

Jasmine's parents.

[♪♪]

[♪♪]

[Hawk] So I finallyspoke with the divorce lawyer,

and get this.

Jasmine started the processof divorcing Aaron,

but not because he was cheating.

It was purely financial.

Hmm, financial?

The company and Aaronare on the verge of bankruptcy,

so Jasmine wantedto protect their assets

by getting everythingout of Aaron's name

so that the creditorscouldn't go after any money

that was due to her parents.

So Jasmine and Aaronweren't having problems?

I guess not.

Wait a minute.

[page crinkles]

Have you looked atthis investor list?

No. Not yet.

We've been looking at this casefrom the wrong direction.

You gotta be kidding me.

Yeah, we needa GPS track right now.

Time to pick up our killerbefore someone else gets hurt.

[♪♪]

Marian?

[laughing]

Don't be silly. Lana.

It's me.It's Jaz.

You killedthe wrong sister.

No.

You're Marian,

and you sent me a text

purporting to be Jasmine,

asking me to come here.

You know, that night,

I had invited Marianback to my office,

to apologize.

I even gave her my necklaceas a peace offering.

I walked out of the buildingright behind her.

I saw you in the alleyway.

I know what you did to her.

Well, or should I say me.

I don't buy it.

Why didn't you goto the police?

Well, I wasn't gonnatell anyone anything

until I figured out howto best serve my own interests.

So I went backto Marian's hotel

and I pretended to be her.

Well, that is very Jaz of you.

[chuckles]

How did you get that necklace?

Thought they found thaton Riley's body.

Oh... they did.

Right where you planted it.

But then, uh, you know,

I talked to Billie,

and I told herhow much I missed Jaz,

and I got her to get Ianto give it to me.

I didn't want it to get stolenout of the stupid lock-up.

It is you, isn't it?

I never lied to you.

Mm.

And I wasn't chasing Aaron.

When you came to my officeto tell me

that the Bellflower-Frankswere in talks to strike a deal,

I knewthat I was in trouble.

I invested moneyinto Aaron's company

that I "borrowed" froma client's trust account.

I thought I wouldtriple my investment

and just put the moneyback in the account, but then,

when you told me thatthe company was gonna fold--

You knewyou would lose everything.

Maybe even go to jailfor fraud.

I should've knownthat you were behind this.

And I was right.

You are not Jasmine.

You killed Jasmine

so Aaron could getthat insurance money.

And you knew he'd be grieving,

so it'd be easy

to manipulate him intogiving you your money back.

And then Jasminehad to go ahead

and changethe life insurance policy,

so I had to make itlook like you did it.

Too bad the hit-and-runnever worked,

but I was really gratefulthat you left behind

your sleeping pillsin the rental car.

And then you wereonto your next plan.

The mugging.

Yeah.

Which was pure brilliance...

Until...until Riley figured it out.

I didn't want to kill her,

but, you know,she left me no choice.

I let it slipthat Jasmine was strangled

before the police reportcame out.

So Riley invited you here,told you what she knew.

Mm-hmm.Just begging me to confess.

So... I killed her.

But you missedthe clue she left for me.

Yeah.

I hadn't noticed the dressesuntil tonight.

You know, at first,

I thought that they werea reference to identical twins.

But then I found this photo

with all of youat a charity gala.

And Riley left me this note...

just in case she couldn'tget you to confess.

Well...

those stupid dresses,you know.

Jasmine knew I was gonna wear itto the gala that night.

She thought it would be funnyto show up in the same dress.

Just like herand her selfish ways, you know?

I am not gonna let youstand in my way again.

[crashing]

Freeze! Police!

[Billie grunts]

[glass shatters]

Don't move!

-You okay?-I'm fine.

Lana, you are under arrest.

You have the rightto remain silent.

[Ian] The hot cocoadid the trick.

Emma told her momthat even though

it's a prestigious academywith lots of opportunities...

...boarding schoolwasn't for her.

I'm so glad.

I'm sorryI didn't tell you sooner,

I was just worriedabout losing Emma.

Yeah, in the future,

it's probably betterto keep me in the loop.

Let me help youthrough the tough stuff.

That's what I'm here for.

From now on,no secrets.

No secrets.

All right.

[Ian] Okay.

[♪♪]

All right...

Here you go.

Happy birthday.

Thank you.

-Thanks.-You're welcome.

Um...

[puffs]

[light applause and chuckling]

Hope you wishedfor more cupcakes.

[laughter]

Here... you go.

And how do I thank you all?

I mean, without you,I would never have known

what happened to Jasmine.

I still don't understandhow you knew it was Lana.

It was the investor paperwork.

Lana gave Aaron a lot of money,

more thanshe personally had access to,

so, obviously, we wantedto ask her a lot of questions.

I GPS'd her cell phone

and when we found outwhere she was...

And he thoughtI was involved,

so he called inthe cavalry.

Lana just had no idea

how much you loved Jaz,

that you would sign awayyour rights to that money,

so her elaborate scheme failed.

Here's to...

Billie and Ian--

you put your headsand your hearts together

and you got to the bottom of it.

I want to add my thanks, too.

Uh, with Harperturning State's evidence,

Bellflower-Franksis out of the game, for now.

So Tywell Industriesis back in business.

But I just wishI could've told Jasmine.

To my twin sister...

who I'll always love.

She was certainly complicated--[laughs]

But, in the end,

she always did the right thing.

Here's to doingthe right thing.

Here's to that.

Hear, hear.

[♪♪]

Mm. So there'smore cupcakes, right?

[all laughing]
