I'm trying to surpass the Burj Khalifa

as world's tallest structure.

The bride wanted seven tears for her lucky prime number.

Maybe we will get lucky this weekend

and meet a couple millionaires of our own.

I feel like I'm going to be piping champagne buttercream

in my sleep tonight.

Well, you're optimistic.

What sleep?

Hmm.

Is this side an eighth of an inch shorter than this side?

Okay, is this because you are catering the society wedding

of the decade or because it's Jess's wedding?

Both.

And no particular order.

Admit it.

You just want Justin to eat her words

about your little business.

Is that so wrong?

Did I hear my name?

Oh, Goldy your cake, it's stunning.

Well, it's not done, but thank you so much.

What are you talking about, mother?

Those are macadamia nuts on my wedding cake.

I told Goldy a thousand times,

Sterling's allergic to tree nuts.

And is that a Juliet rose I see?

You know that Romeo and Juliet's love

went from epic to tragic almost overnight, right?

Why don't just break a mirror on my cake?

Jess, Jess...

- Well-- - Well,

we can replace the Juliet rose with a, um, um...

A Paeonia lactiflora.

A peony, those stand for love and good fortune.

Love and good fortune.

Good.

And also they aren't macadamia nuts.

They are pure Madagascar white chocolate.

There is not a nut in sight.

Except for the one in front of us.

Mm.

Still, get rid of them.

Pearls of any sort

represent future tears and heartache in a marriage.

Do I have to micromanage everything?

Let's go, mother.

Thank you.

Well, as expected, she is the ultimate bridezilla.

And she is also our client.

And nothing is gonna stop us from putting on the most

memorable rehearsal dinner,

and wedding reception Elk Park has ever seen,

even if it kills us.

Now, let's go find some peonies.

Hey.

Is that him, is that the guy?

Mom, boundaries.

He's cute.

Mom, that is so (indistinct)!

My baby has our first crush.

Hunter.

What's up man?

Sterling Bridgewater finally came back to Elk Park.

Golden Berry.

Oh, I haven't been called that a forever.

You haven't aged a day.

Oh, and you're still the charmer.

Apparently not charming enough.

Let's just say not everyone has given me

as warm a welcome.

Well, you and Hunter are gonna be family now,

so you're just gonna have to play nice.

I always play nice.

Even if my future brother-in-law doesn't.

That is Elk Park for you.

Yes more, more ladies, more.

Big smiles, ladies.

All together.

She does light up a room, doesn't she?

I mean...

- Excuse me. - Yes, of course.

Ladies.

Pinch me, am I dreaming or is this actually happening?

Ah!

For a delicate flower, you are stronger than you look.

It's all the espresso.

Goldy and Marla, you guys.

It's been forever.

Katie!

I thought that was you out there.

So you're a bridesmaid

Maid of honor, actually.

Wow.

I guess I didn't realize that you and Jess were friends

in high school.

Yeah, we kept in touch even though

we went to different state colleges, but we're BFFs now.

Crazy, right?

Well, you look great.

How are you?

Never better.

- Here you go, babes. - Oh, thanks hon.

Goldy, Marla, this is my boyfriend Ray,

and Sterling's best man.

These are my old high school friends.

Minus the old part.

So did you guys meet in San Francisco?

Born and raised.

I was classmates from Sterling in college and Katie had just

broken poor Sterling's heart.

Oh, please.

You love that you got the girl.

Guilty.

I'm a lucky man.

And is that when Jess and Sterling

started seeing each other?

No, that was way after that.

They reconnected at one of our house parties, right babes?

Yeah, yeah, just after she and Tom got divorced.

She'd been living in San Francisco for a few years by then

and we were hanging out.

Ray and I invited her over.

She and Sterling reconnected and here we are.

Hey Ray.

Sorry ladies, there's a 30 year single malt calling.

Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Hey, let's all grab lunch after the wedding to catch up.

That would be great.

- Yeah! - Have fun!

Ah, what a cute couple.

Don't you hate being single at these things?

You'll always be my plus one.

Man, these are so good.

You're liking those, aren't you?

I'm loving the parsley chips.

She's perfect.

Oh, thank you.

Thank you so much, it's such a beautiful spread.

Oh, you're welcome.

Don't you think, Laurence?

Oh, yes, yes.

Nothing too good for your daughter.

Loving these beef sliders.

Actually, they're bison.

Bison.

Per the bride's request.

Of course they are. Well, I better grab a couple of more.

Get my money's worth.

There you go.

He's accepted Jess as his own.

She looks so happy, doesn't she?

With her band of besties.

Well, I think it's really nice

that so many people have found love a second time around.

Can I get a scotch, neat?

Chester, taking a break from

all that wheeling and dealing.

Work can wait.

Tonight is all about sporting Jess.

Right.

Doubt it all you want, Jess and I make solid partners.

We've got big goals for Whitetail.

I don't doubt Jess's sincerity.

I doubt yours.

While she's distracted planning this wedding,

you're quietly trying to poach her high end clients.

What you talking about?

I'm onto you.

And as soon as this wedding's over, Jess will be too.

Man, this is busing.

Oh, I gotta talk to Tommy.

Hey Katie.

Well, hello.

Hello, hello.

So good to see you.

You too. You too.

- Have a seat. - You look great.

Thank you.

I really appreciate you coming, Tommy.

Well, I appreciate the invite.

Take a picture mom, it'll last longer.

What?

No, see, I was, I was, you see back there?

I was just trying to make sure that the waiter was,

you know, doing the thing.

Uh-huh.

Anyway.

Um, I'm headed to Charlotte's house.

Her mom's here.

Oh, okay.

I love you.

Text me when you get there, okay?

Tell Charlotte's mom. I said thank you.

Okay.

Oh, shoot, man!

That's expensive.

If looks could kill.

It's a far cry from city hall, huh?

Oh, come on.

City hall worked.

Worked?

No, it didn't, we're divorced.

Anyway, water under the bridge now.

This time I'm doing it right.

I hope he makes you happy.

I hope the same for you too one day.

Congratulations.

Excuse me.

Am I loud in here?

It's my kitchen.

You can be here anywhere I am.

Well, you did it again.

Oh.

And to put a smile on Jess's face.

That's not easy.

She wasn't that bad.

You know, it was um, fun.

You're a terrible liar.

I know.

This is why I'm the chef and you're the detective, right?

Oh, I'm off duty tonight.

Is a cop ever off duty?

Stick around, you'll find out.

Mm, but can you handle the heat?

Try one.

- The heat? - Yeah.

- Child's play. - Mm-hmm.

See now this is fun.

Hey.

Is that him?

The famous detective?

You're drunk and soaked in champagne.

I'm so celebrating.

I'm getting married to the most gorgeous bride in Elk Park.

Yeah, you are.

Do they look like a couple to you?

Does it matter?

Look at you now, honey.

I'd say you upgraded.

Ooh.

Oh, easy.

What?

You're drunk.

Take a walk, get some coffee.

- You know I'm-- - Thank you.

- Hey. - Hi.

You leaving?

- I had fun. - You did?

I did have fun, yep.

So my fiance is upset at me for some reason.

Katie, how about you and I grab a drink

fr old times sake, huh?

Maybe you and I could give it another go.

Ray!

I'm just, I'm kidding.

Lighten up. - Oh!

Lighten up, is this a party or a funeral?

Leave my girlfriend out of it.

I'm gonna need you to handle that.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

I was just joking.

Come on, man.

I'm getting married tomorrow.

Yeah, well, some things aren't funny, man.

You know what's not funny?

You ruined my watch.

You don't see me complaining about that, okay.

Oh yeah, as you keep telling us it's a Rolex.

Well, what's the little champagne gonna do?

You know what?

I think you've had enough.

No, I think it's past your bedtime.

Okay, well, maybe if you hadn't spilled

all my dad's champagne on your watch,

you'd still have a functioning Rolex.

What's your problem?

With you?

I don't know.

You're entitled, spoiled, narcissistic, can't dress.

Oh, big words from a little man.

You know what?

Maybe you should sell some more of your daddy's flawed

software to the town,

that he can buy you a new Rolex, huh, big guy?

- Watch your mouth. - Hey, hey, hey, hey.

Knock it off.

Think of Jess.

Don't tell me to think of Jess.

Relax, all right?

Hey, hey.

Go home and sleep it off.

You don't wanna do this.

Ugh, let's go make some coffee.

500 unlucky white chocolate pearls need to be refashioned.

Hey, come with me.

I'll get you some ice.

- Thanks. - Yeah.

Should have gone home earlier.

- Gold. - Hmm?

Have you seen Sterling?

He's gone and not answering his phone.

Hey, Quinn.

I need you to stay back.

Detective?

Where's Jess?

We can't find her,

but I notified next of kin, Sterling's parents.

Send a squad car to her hotel.

We need to find her right now, Mason. I'll call Jess's mom.

Okay.

Goldy and Marla are upstairs.

Okay.

Hey ladies.

Hey.

Okay?

You know where Jess is?

No.

I hope she's okay.

Detective?

- Yes? - Yes.

Uh, sorry boss.

What you got?

Nothing conclusive,

but looks like blunt force trauma

to his right temporal region.

I won't know more until I do the autopsy.

TOD?

I'd estimate time of death within the last few hours.

What's this?

Some sort of rash, forensic swab.

Strange that it's only on his right hand.

Yeah.

Did you find a cell phone?

They're searching the perimeter.

Impact blood spatter.

What you thinking, boss?

I don't know, detective, what do you think I'm thinking?

You want me to...

Um, medium velocity forward spatter.

If the victim died from blunt force trauma,

this may be our murder weapon.

Very good.

Yes!

If it was foul play, don't jump to any conclusions.

You still need to get statements, DNA swabs,

and fingerprints.

Okay.

Ray, this is Detective Kildea.

Mason.

Ah!

You okay?

Yeah.

Well, can I have a seat, Ray?

Sure.

So when was the last time you saw Sterling?

This morning, around 9:00.

He stepped outside for a few minutes,

but he never came back.

Did he say he was meeting with anybody?

No, we were ready to go to the church.

I tried texting and calling, but he never responded.

Have you seen or heard from Jess?

No, not since last night.

I was in the kitchen all morning prepping hors d'oeuvres.

Nothing was off on my end.

Well, from my end, something was off.

I passed through the lobby and that's when I found Sterling

and we checked for a pulse.

We tried CPR, but nothing worked.

What time was that?

10:30.

Were the doors locked?

Yes.

No, Goldy had already opened them.

Deliveries were coming in and out.

I'll need a list of those vendors.

What was Sterling's mood like the last time you saw him?

Combative.

He was in a great mood.

He wasn't in a great mood.

How'd you get that black eye?

I tripped and fell.

Hit my face right on a doorknob.

Uh-huh.

Did Sterling have any enemies?

Everyone loved Sterling.

Everyone hated Sterling.

I liked Sterling.

Anne didn't like Sterling.

Call if you remember anything else.

Is it just me or are these people

contradicting each other?

Eyewitness testimonies are like slogging through mud,

but somewhere in between lies the truth.

Boss, they found Sterling's cell

a hundred yards from here.

Jessamyn purse, key fob and car keys

were at her hotel room with signs of a struggle.

No cell phone, no Jess.

Tell them to seal off Jess's hotel room.

Nobody goes in.

Hey.

Thank goodness you're here.

Jess is missing, what is going on?

We're gonna find her

Is, it true, is Sterling really dead?

I'm afraid so, yes.

Who would wanna do this to Sterling and, and Jessamyn?

I, I don't...

When did you last see Jess?

This, this morning.

We were all taking photos and, and drinking mimosas.

She said she needed a moment and wanted us

all out of her hotel room, so we, we gave her space.

You know how she gets sometimes.

What time is that?

I don't know, eight-ish, maybe.

I mean, I started getting worried

because when it was time to leave,

she wasn't answering her calls.

Yeah, Ann stayed here and I, I drove around

looking for her. - Okay.

Where's Laurence.

He went home earlier, he wasn't feeling well.

Is there some place Jessamyn could have gone?

She wasn't getting cold feet, was she?

No.

She loves Sterling.

I mean, Jess has been known to take off.

Remember Bali?

I mean, she went there for two weeks without telling anyone.

- No, no, no. - Just because.

This is different.

This is her wedding day.

Laurence...

What about Jess, any news?

No.

We have to treat Jess as a missing person.

Oh!

What is it?

Find something?

How do they fold the towel to look like a swan?

Doesn't make sense.

Mason, focus.

Sorry, crime scene.

Money and credit cards intact.

It's definitely not a robbery.

Boss, do you think it's possible...

I'm not saying your ex is a cold-blooded killer or anything,

but could Chessman have done it and skipped town?

Not a chance.

She'd never have left that Chanel purse behind.

There's only one candle holder.

Its pair's missing.

Oh, let's keep her eyes peeled for the other one.

What else is off in Miss Cole's room?

Oh, it's messy for a lady.

You don't know Jessamyn.

Aside from that, her clothes are all here,

but there's no suitcase.

Hi. Welcome.

How you doing?

I don't, I don't get it.

Is this a floral shop or a coffee shop?

It's both.

Both.

Do you sell tires and mosquitoes too?

No.

But you can find an abundance

of sass, spunk and shell shock.

Sorry, it's been a long and trying day.

What can I get you?

Just a black coffee, thanks.

You uh, sure you don't wanna try one of our specials?

It's all a bit uh, exotic for my taste.

I mean, the grilled cheese sounds okay,

but why you gotta mess it up with truffled cremes,

whatever those are.

Raminis.

They're mushrooms and they are full of antioxidants.

It's a pass on, just the coffee's good.

Okay. Enjoy.

Oh.

Oh, you're good. Keep it.

Oh, Marla, it's your lucky day.

You can finally get those Gucci heels you wanted.

It looks taller than I thought it would be.

Yeah.

Let me give you a boost.

Why can't I give you a boost?

I've been working out.

You think I'm going in there?

No.

Don't argue, Mason. Come on.

Get on my knee. - Fine.

Is that okay? - Yeah.

Knee on my shoulder.

Yeah. There we go.

What'd you have her breakfast?

Oh, my mom made me an omelet,

but she ran outta hash browns.

It's a rhetorical question, Mason.

It's disgusting in here.

Just stay focused.

Dig.

Oh wait, I see something.

I got it.

And look, there's blood and hair.

Try to curb your enthusiasm that my ex might be dead.

I hate to say it, but he had it coming.

Sterling waltzes into town

and the butter doesn't melt in his mouth.

Catering swanky dinners with ice sculptures and fountains

and my dad has to foot the bill again.

Trust me, I am not losing sleep

over either of those two freeloaders.

Hi.

I gotta go.

Hi.

I'm sorry, is this, is this a bad time?

No, no, not at all.

Okay.

Thank you so much for bringing the wedding cake.

Yes, of course.

Would've been a shame for it to go to waste.

Well, the Hoops for Teens Foundation is grateful.

We've had to shut down the programs for two weeks

while the gym was being repaired.

But the kids are back tonight.

They're gonna enjoy the meal.

You're really making a difference.

Trying to.

I'll talk to Quinn about the autopsy report.

You look into the hotel footage.

But first bring the candle hold of the forensics.

Even with the rush order, could take a couple days.

Well, it's still backlogged, huh?

Schultz.

Track.

What do you doing here?

Nice to see you too.

I've been transferred.

Temporary assignment.

Mason, this is Detective Dave Track

from Third Precinct.

Track, this is Detective Mason Kildea.

Look at us, three seasoned detectives

all in the same room.

Yeah, I'd say two seasoned and one bland

but I'll let you geniuses figure out which one's which.

Yeah, Tom's the best.

Taught me everything I know.

Ah, sorry to hear that.

Tom "Buy the books" Schultz.

It's better than Dave "Bend the Rules" Track.

Why are you here?

Well, it seems that I'm in and you're out.

You're officially on desk duty, Tom.

So I'm gonna need the case files for Coil and Bridgewater.

What?

The missing bride and dead groom.

Yeah, I know who Coil and Bridgewater are.

Why am I off their cases?

Conflict of interest.

I mean, your missing ex-wife plus your association

with the deceased.

There's no way I'm compromised.

Sheriff says otherwise.

Sheriff?

I bet you couldn't wait to come in here and tell me this.

It's always the high profile cases with you, huh?

Beats traffic duty.

Mason, give track the case files.

Bring him up to speed.

Oh, honey, I'm so glad softball went well.

Your backpack?

I don't know, but I can check the car.

Okay, hold on.

Let me see here.

Oh, yeah, it is right here.

Do you want me to leave it with dad?

Okay.

I'll drop it off at X-ray.

The hotel fob sees Jessamyn entering her room at 10:40 AM.

Is there security footage?

Mostly at the front with a couple of blind spots

at the side exits.

So we never actually see Jess coming or going.

She could have left on her own or been abducted.

We also got an anonymous tip, alibi.

Anonymous, huh?

Yeah, it was, it was anonymous.

ester.

Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you.

I saw you in x-ray, but you were walking away so fast.

Yeah, basements and hospitals aren't my favorite.

What are you doing in x-ray?

Is it about the bruise?

My ego is more bruised than this eye,

but I got the all clear. It's not a concussion, so.

Well, that's good.

What did happen?

Just a heated basketball game.

It serves me right for trying to show up a bunch of teens.

Mm, the morning of the wedding.

That's, that's brave.

It was a, it was an early game.

I coach underserved kids, basketball.

I didn't know that.

Yeah, Hoops for Teens.

Jessamyn signed me up.

She said it would be a good image for our brand,

but it's fun.

I, I could have sworn Hunter said

that the program was shut down for two weeks.

Hm.

Hey, what's up?

I just ran into Chester and you need to recheck his alibi.

I think he's lying about how he got that eye.

Well, I wish I could.

I'm off the case.

What?

Conflict of interest.

I'm pushing paper now.

Then, who's running the case, Mason?

No, no.

They brought in an outside detective, this guy, Dave Track.

You say his name like you know him.

There's history there.

He's done some shady things to solve crimes.

Why would they bring someone like that in?

It was out of my control.

I'm sorry.

Look, whoever killed Sterling

is also responsible for Jess's disappearance.

The first 48 hours are crucial.

Okay. So what can I do?

How can I help?

Can you break into Quinn's office

and steal the autopsy report?

What?

No, no, I was kidding.

- Listen-- - You can't do that.

I know you have to say what you have to say, but like we,

I got it, I got you.

- You can't-- - I hear you.

If you hear, don't worry about it.

It's gonna be fine.

Hey Mason.

Hey Goldy.

Hi.

Are those Snickerdoodle muffins?

Those are like my favorite.

Really?

I didn't know that.

Well, I was bringing 'em to the precinct, but here,

help yourself.

If you don't mind.

Yeah!

Oh, these are so good.

Aw, thank you.

You must be so busy with both cases.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

But I can't really talk about it, you know?

Of course.

I just can't stop thinking about Sterling

and, and what happened and, and just the pain

that he must have been.

I mean, he had blunt force trauma to the head,

but Quinn found champagne in his lungs.

Drowning is not as painful as you think.

Sure the champagne burns a bit,

but then Sterling probably drifted off to sleep.

So you know, if it helps. I hear it's a peaceful way to go.

Mm, so cause of death was drowning.

Wait, what's in these Snickerdoodle muffins?

Truth serum?

Gotta go.

Oh, Mason.

Oh, thanks.

Bye Mason.

Bye, Goldy.

Here you go.

CCTV cameras around town showed no sign of Jess,

but the forensics came back on the candle holder.

It's a match to Jessamyn DNA.

The thing is,

there are multiple prints from the wedding party,

plus a few partials,

but they're too smeared to ID.

No hits in CODIS.

So whoever ditched the candle there

is likely our murderer.

They're either very sloppy or brilliant.

With all the prints,

we would be just spinning our wheels going nowhere.

And they know it.

Whose idea was it to search the dumpsters outside the hotel?

Tom's, but--

It's also Tom's DNA on the victim's shoe, right?

Yeah. But that--

And guess who's the beneficiary

of Jessamyn life insurance policy?

I hate to say it,

looks like we have a new person of interest.

No, exactly.

When does that happen?

Hi, can I help you ladies with anything?

Just looking for now, thanks.

Okay.

Yeah honestly, so weird.

I know, the lab results were so random,

but I saw Quinn emptying his stomach contents myself.

Newly dead on his wedding day.

Poor guy.

He had a swollen tongue, contact dermatitis on his hand,

but no food in his stomach.

It's plain weird.

Hey, how about this?

Your mom loves lilies.

Do this one.

And I had to.

Does it ever stop?

No, no.

Well, thank you for feeding me.

You know, you didn't have to.

Have you met me?

You know your food's good, but your company's even better.

It goes both ways.

How are you holding up?

I mean, I know you and Jess aren't together anymore,

but still this has to be hard.

I might not be in love with Jess still,

but I just don't want anything bad to happen to her.

You know?

Of course not, no one does.

I feel stuck now that I'm desked.

I feel lost without my murder board.

What?

What?

Not again.

Goldy.

Okay, listen, don't be mad.

All right?

I, you know, printed out pictures of the bridal party

and used Marla's leftover flowers, and then they threw

the seating tread out.

So I took that and, well, those were just pretty, and I,

you know, made a murder board.

Yeah.

Well, it's certainly the prettiest murder board

I've ever seen.

Thank you.

You're not gonna lecture me, are you?

I think it's downright brilliant.

Well, in that case.

Okay.

Blunt force trauma.

Cause of death drowning.

Wait, are you...

Are you just guessing?

It's uh, it's a little more than a hunch.

Allergic reaction, that's a question mark.

How did you get your hands on the autopsy report?

Nothing illegal.

Stomach was empty.

Goldy, you're something else.

Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

It's definitely a good thing.

Okay, so Hunter was saying something about

selling bad software.

You know anything about that?

Oh yeah, well,

when Sterling's family moved here from New York,

his dad convinced a lot of people to fund a startup

whose software was supposed to be fail safe.

Well, they didn't read the fine print

and he wanted it that way because in the end,

his bad software caused, well,

pretty much everybody to lose their money.

The only people that made money was Sterling's family,

who then skipped town.

Wait, that was years ago.

Sterling was just a teenager.

It was his father that scammed them, not Sterling.

It's Elk Park, it's a small town.

I mean, people remember these things.

Yeah, revenge is a timeless motive for murder.

I wonder which families were affected?

Good question.

One second. - Yeah.

Hi, ma'am.

I'm detective Track.

Sorry to intrude.

Hi Goldy, Marla said Tom would be here.

She did. Did she?

Mason.

Track, what's up?

Tom, in light of new evidence,

need to hand in your badge and gun and come with us.

My badge and my...

What new evidence, what do you mean?

Yeah, what evidence?

And also, you are clearly making a mistake here.

Furthermore, I don't like how you're going around town--

Goldy, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay.

I'm coming.

Hey, go to City Hall.

Search land registry records for foreclosures

around the time of the scam.

Okay?

Stay safe.

Let's go, Schultz.

Yeah, I'm coming.

Sorry, boss.

ightly t)

Piece of cake, Golden Berry.

All right, maybe not a piece of cake.

Okay.

Yes.

No.

I can't, can't, can't, can't.

Ann lost her house.

The evidence points to you.

Motive, opportunity, intent,

confess, and maybe you'll get leniency on sentencing.

Jess called you in the morning.

She disappeared at 10:03.

Why?

I told you.

She left the voicemail,

I called her back and she didn't answer.

Is it normal for a bride to call her ex

the morning of her wedding?

Nothing about Jess is normal.

What's your angle, Tom?

Kill Sterling, with Jess gone, collect her life insurance?

Or is it that she's waiting for you and that this was your

plan with her all along?

That's your theory?

It's absurd.

Mason, you still looking for her?

Okay, we're gonna play this my way.

I guess the apple doesn't fall far from the tree, huh?

Who knows?

Maybe you and your old man will be cellmates.

It's been what, 25 years?

24, but who's counting?

Where's Jessamyn?

Sterling cut my hand.

So yeah, there'd be blood transfer on my shoe

as well as the champagne glass.

As for the life insurance policy,

Jess obviously forgot to change the beneficiary.

You know, the DA hasn't filed charges yet,

which means your case has too many holes.

So unless you arrest me, can't keep me here any longer.

So I'm leaving.

Don't leave town.

It wasn't right.

Turning off an audio recorder during an interview.

And there you get fired if you play by the rules.

Evidence gathered deceitfully is inadmissible in court.

God, wake up.

Judging by that deer caught in headlights look,

you didn't even know Tom's dad was in the slammer.

That's just, it's just my normal look.

I'm just saying maybe you don't really

know your mentor that well.

I'm gonna need you to tail him.

Room service.

Goldy, what a nice surprise.

Ah, I have a question.

Would you think less of me as a mother if I had you

surgically attach this to our daughter's back?

She gets her absent mindedness from me.

I'm sorry I muddled the gene pool.

Are those eclairs?

Okay. What do you need?

Who said I needed anything?

Goldy, we have known each other

for a very, very long time.

I love-hate that about us.

Tom got suspended.

What, what happened?

There's this new cop and he is trying

to pin Sterling's murder on Tom.

Wow.

And he would never, ever, ever, ever ask,

but he really needs our help.

Ah...

You know, Goldy, I would really love to help Tom.

You know, I would,

but I can't tell you anything about someone

from the wedding party who came to my office

Saturday afternoon with a broken hand

and a really lame excuse on how that happened.

Mm-hmm.

See, I could lose my license.

Of course.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

So I'm just gonna go look for a coffee

to pair with my eclair.

Okay.

Yeah, I might be 10, maybe 15 minutes.

Ray.

Oh, hey. - Hey.

Are you cleared?

Yeah. No.

No, not yet.

Thanks for coming to get me.

Yeah, I was so worried.

Maybe you should keep your distance.

Stop, don't even do that.

Nobody believes that you had anything to do with this.

It's not that.

It's something Track said about my dad.

What about him?

I haven't shared this with anyone,

but my dad's in prison.

See, that's the look. That's why I don't talk about it.

I'm sorry, I...

I have a lot of questions.

But first, how does Track even know about this?

It was his dad that put my dad away.

And you're afraid he's gonna

use that information against you?

Look, I just, I wanted you to know before anybody else.

I'm sorry.

Thanks.

You are not your dad.

And whatever he did,

it doesn't change who you are or what you mean to me.

Or you know, there are people, other people and hey,

welcome to the club.

Everyone in Elk Park has been a suspect for murder

at some point in this past year, including me.

And you're still talking to me.

Well, the night's still young.

Let's go get your car.

So Ray showed up the morning of the wedding

with a busted hand, but he didn't have a cast.

He flinched and Mason shook his hand.

Which begs the question, when exactly did Ray do it and how?

Well, I'm headed to the ground search right now,

and Ray will be there.

So why don't you go home and then you come back later

and we can put our heads together?

Okay. Okay.

Look out, coming through.

That's my best friend's wedding.

Come on.

No!

Ray, I...

Here, you and I, we'll go up here.

You remember these woods?

We'd come here, me with Sterling.

You with that Freckly ginger.

Freddy.

My gosh. Yes.

Such innocent and happy times until it wasn't.

I couldn't help but notice you and Ray earlier.

Is everything okay?

I found an engagement ring in a suitcase,

and when I asked about it,

Ray admitted he was going to propose this weekend.

That's wonderful?

Except I said I'm not ready.

He didn't buy it.

He thinks there's something more.

Is there?

No.

No, timing is everything.

And with all this going on...

Well, relationships are hard,

even on their good days.

You'll get through it.

Yeah.

He's my person, but Ray can be insecure.

Sterling's ribbing at the rehearsal dinner

about getting back together with me didn't help.

Anyway, it's like Ray and I always say,

there's nothing more important than love.

Never take it for granted because it can be too late.

I'll never love again.

Of course you will.

No, "I'll Never Love Again."

It's a book.

Wait, Jess was reading that.

I lent it to her.

Okay. Don't touch anything.

Flag it and I'll, I'll grab a cop.

Hey, over here.

I think I found something.

It's Jess's cell.

She loved her Zuwalksi Crystals.

Loved?

It's okay.

You referred to her in the past tense.

You know what I mean.

Why would I ever want anything to happen to her?

You'd get sole possession

of Whitetail Realty for one.

With her gone, my workload has just doubled.

I have to take on all of her clients.

And we all know you weren't a fan of Jess or Sterling.

I have nothing against them.

We just had different priorities,

and I'm tired of them taking my dad for a ride.

Hey, will you just stop it, the both of you?

Can't you see what you're doing to my wife?

My apologies.

Sorry.

It's okay.

God, this is just so distressing.

What can I do to help?

We're holding a candlelight vigil

outside our home this evening.

Do you think you could do a rush order on some finger food?

Just whatever you can--

Of course, I'll drop them off later.

Thank you.

Yeah, I'm a mess.

Where's my, where's my Jess?

I mean, where could she be?

We'll find her.

We'll find her.

Hi Goldy.

Hi.

Your food was a huge hit with the kids.

Thanks again.

Thank you.

And I'm sorry about earlier at the park with Chester.

I got carried away.

You don't need to apologize to me, I understand.

Emotions are running high right now.

Yeah.

Feels like it's been one nonstop fight since the wedding

came to town.

First, the one at the reception,

then the one the parking lot after.

What, what happened in the parking lot?

Well, I only caught the tail end of it,

but Chester and Sterling were at it again.

And obviously Chester didn't come out of it too well.

See ya. - Yeah.

Hey, one dopeo double espresso macchiato.

Thank you.

Let's get to work.

Yes.

And working on Ann's rushed order.

Ooh!

Hold on.

Hey Marla.

He's right outside my shop.

I dunno.

Who's right outside your shop?

Ray, you said you wanted to talk to him.

If you hurry up, you can catch him.

Just be careful because Mason and Track are here.

Okay. Thank you.

What's up?

Ray is outside Marla's shop.

Well, let's go talk to him.

You can't be be seen interrogating Ray.

And I can't leave my dough

or the baking powder will go flat.

I have a crazy idea.

Okay, you wanna preheat the oven to 350.

You're gonna roll the dough evenly.

Then you're gonna add a teaspoon of the filling,

first the cheese, then the mushroom mixture.

You wanna pinch the edges of the dumpling and then brush

each dumpling with the egg wash.

Then you bake.

Are you good?

You lost me after preheat the oven.

You'll be fine, just don't overwork the dough.

But you know, that goes for you too, okay?

Don't press Ray too hard or he's gonna clam up.

Okay.

Find out how he broke his hand, but act natural.

Act natural.

Got it.

All right. I see him.

I'm switching to Bluetooth.

Okay.

Well, there's a $300 charge on my credit card

that I never authorized.

I'd like the charges reversed please.

Car key replacement?

What are you talking about?

The contract never said...

Ah, fine.

Stupid car rental agency is sh...

Ray, hi!

It's so funny meeting you here.

Hey, Goldy.

I said act natural.

Whoa, your cast.

How did that happen?

Easy, Berry.

It's too heavy handed.

I'm trying.

You're trying?

Focus, Goldy.

Trying to understand what happened to your hand.

You look like you got yourself in a pickle.

A pickle?

It's nothing.

I just fell in the shower.

Wow, it just must have been a really hard fall.

You lost him, Barry.

You did it, you overworked the dough.

Okay, I cannot do this with you in my ear, okay?

Just don't burn my pastry, Schultz.

Barry.

Goldy?

You know what?

Let me help you.

Thank you.

Of course.

Got some orange smudge on your cast.

Oh, yeah.

It was these cheesy crackers Ann was giving everyone,

we were all snacking on them.

Casa...

Cassava.

They uh, they get everywhere.

Yeah, probably not a good idea

to have everyone sign my cast afterwards.

We uh, we missed you at the ground search.

Yeah, I just needed some time alone.

I can't believe he's gone.

Some best man I turned out to be.

Ray, this was not your fault.

Yeah...

I'm so sorry.

I know he was your best friend.

You know, I always envied Sterling, thought he had it all.

And the night before the wedding,

oh, he's getting cold feet.

You think he'd have his mind made up by then.

So what did he do?

Oh, he went out for air after midnight.

Next thing I know, it's morning and he's in full tux

ready to go to the church.

Someone or something changed his mind.

Well, it's not a perfect dumpling.

Not exactly sure what it is.

I'll add parsley.

- Yeah. - Okay.

Yeah.

Thanks for hanging up on me, by the way.

You were distracting me.

You were going rogue.

Do you wanna talk about somebody going rogue?

Stick to our day jobs?

- Deal. - Okay.

I think we're gonna need something more than parsley.

Did he get cold feet?

Got the candle holder right here.

Mm-hmm.

You still have some flour on your face.

Hold on, you.

Thanks.

Yeah.

- Ray was jealous. - Yeah.

Yeah, missing suitcase.

We need to find out what caused

Sterling's allergic reaction.

I did find an orange substance

in the back of Sterling's hand.

- Orange. - Yeah.

You sure?

Oh, positive.

Because Ray had an orange substance on his cast.

He said it was from eating cassava crackers.

But cassava, it tastes nutty,

but it's not from the nut family at all.

We need to talk to Chester.

Yeah, let's see...

Orange powder.

Wow, Chester's Realty business is booming.

Yeah?

Someone's making a killing commissions this month.

Wanna go house hunting?

Always.

Let's go.

- Nice house. - Yeah.

Above my pay grade. - Insane.

Let's take a look around.

Be back here in 20.

Okay.

- You back-- - Okay, I'll go this way then.

As you can see,

there's a spectacular chef's kitchen,

newly renovated with slide out shelves.

I'll let you folks walk around though.

Let me know if you have any questions, okay?

Thank you so much.

What a nice surprise.

I can see you working your magic in here.

Oh, well.

Unless that magic increases my bank account,

I think I'm gonna have to stay put.

So what brings you by?

Oh, we're friends, right?

Of course.

I, I just needed to ask,

why didn't you come clean about Sterling hitting you?

Because he didn't.

Chester, I know you didn't get the black eye

playing basketball like you said.

Sterling didn't hit me, Goldy.

He was fighting with Ray in the parking lot

after the rehearsal dinner ended.

And when the groomsman and I went in to break them up ,

my eye hit Ray's fist.

Sorry I lied.

I didn't wanna look suspicious.

Why was Sterling fighting his best ,an again?

I'm sorry, Goldy.

I have to work.

I want to find Jess too.

But what about Hoops for Teens?

If you're willing to spend that much on Jess's

over the top wedding,

then why not put it towards something more meaningful?

Now is not the time or place.

When is the time, Dad?

I have done everything you asked

and kept it quiet all these years.

What's up fellas?

You, you kept what quiet?

I wouldn't have thought this type of house

would interest you, Tom.

Well, lots of things interest me.

What are you doing here?

I happen to own this house.

This was supposed to be Jessamyn listing,

but Chester has it now.

Well, why does it say it's under Westco property?

Yes, it's one of my holding companies.

Is that a problem?

It's not a problem, I just,

I'm just wondering what the big secret is.

Did you happen to be involved in the, in the,

in the failed software company?

This is sounding like a police interrogation.

And you don't have your badge, do you?

It's just a friendly observation.

Well, I think it's time for you to leave.

Okay, well, hey, good luck with the listing.

I still think Chester is hiding something,

but at least now we know how and when Ray broke his hand,

we just don't know why.

Well, in my experience,

when two guys fight after a few drinks,

it's usually over a woman.

And we still don't know how Laurence and Hunter

fit into all of this.

And also, what is Hunter hiding?

Well, I think we're getting close to the truth.

Based on Laurence's reaction.

Do you really think that Laurence is involved

in all of this?

I think that if he was an investor,

he sure didn't lose his shirt like everybody else.

We need to get our hands on the police records.

- Yeah. - Yeah.

What's the one thing that's in abundance at weddings?

Puff pastry.

Puff, puff pastries?

Photos, Goldy, photos.

Oh, photos.

That's much better.

We need to talk to the photographer.

Okay.

Yes.

Smile, show some teeth, yes.

Excuse me, hi.

You, you're early.

The station said a detective would swing by later.

I'm in the middle of a photo shoot.

He is the detective.

- I'm the detective. - Yep.

Let's get it over with, I'll pull up the files.

Oh man.

Breaks my heart a little to see these.

You have to detach yourself in an investigation.

Can't let it affect you.

Wait a second.

Hey, hey, hey.

Track is here.

We gotta hurry.

Look at, look at this.

- Oh. - Yeah.

Is that sweet, gentle Ann slapping

her soon to be son-in-law

the night before he was killed?

Get a picture.

Come on, close it out.

Thank you!

Thank you very much.

Hey, you got Ray.

Leave a message.

Ray, where are you?

We're starting.

I hope wherever Jess is, she can feel the love.

- Let's find the crackers. - No.

It is not the time. - Yes.

Come on, come on.

Ann?

Um, this is the silliest of questions, you know,

considering, but where did you get these crackers?

I think from Hunter, maybe, the bridal party.

I don't remember.

Would you, would you like some?

That would, yes, that would be great.

It's always good to learn about new snacks for parties and--

Events.

Charcuterie boards and...

- We were throwing parties. - I am, so many parties.

Well, I think you'll like these then.

They're cassava and cheddar.

They're the only things

that would settle Laurence's stomach.

I got it. Thank you. Thank you so much.

Ann, after the rehearsal dinner,

you met Sterling in the hotel foyer.

What exactly did you say to him?

I don't recall.

It was a busy day.

Oh.

I don't mean to make you uncomfortable,

but you slapped him.

Timestamped at 12:05 AM.

I, I I think what Tom is,

is trying to say is we would understand if you had

resentment towards Sterling's family.

I mean, after all, you, you lost your house.

Gosh, no.

That's, that's ancient history.

I mean, yeah, it was hard.

Some people didn't get over it, but many of us did.

I mean, look at Jess and Katie.

Katie?

Well, she and Sterling were once engaged.

Well, Katie moved on.

Her dad never forgave Sterling's family after almost losing

his farm for investing in that stupid startup.

I'm, I'm sorry, I didn't know

that Sterling and Katie were engaged.

Didn't last long.

I think Katie broke it off with Sterling after she followed

him to San Francisco.

I mean, her dad would've never given his blessing,

but it all worked out in the end.

She met Ray and my Jess ended up with Sterling.

So why were you so mad at Sterling?

He said he was gonna call off the wedding

and I wouldn't let him do that.

So yes, I lost my temper,

but I set him straight because I'll do anything

for my daughter.

Anything at all.

Why didn't you tell us this before?

Because it wasn't my finest moment.

Ann, I, uh...

What's going on?

Ann, what's happening?

They find Jess?

No.

No.

What did you do to upset my wife?

I've asked her some questions, Laurence.

You know, I've just about had enough outta you.

Now get outta here.

Stay away from my family.

- We're gonna go. - Yeah.

We are leaving.

Thank you.

He gets in a fight with Ray.

Chester stands to get Whitetail Realty,

and then Hunter stands to inherit.

Ann slap Sterling

and also she might be responsible for the orange crackers.

So what am I looking at?

I tried to recreate Anne's crackers.

Both she and Ray said that they were cassava,

but they're not.

So I whipped together three different recipes.

I need you to try 'em, starting with her original.

Huh?

Now try the corn flour.

It's not that one.

Cauliflower.

Not it either.

No, try the one in the middle.

It's that one.

- Yeah. - That's it.

- Yeah. - What is it?

Avocado.

- Okay. What does that mean? - It means someone is lying.

They're not cassava crackers.

And the interesting thing is that people

with tree nut allergies, a lot of them

are severely allergic to avocados.

So Sterling was likely exposed

to the allergen around 9:00 AM.

And I am willing to bet that someone saw something.

Well, outside of security cameras,

what's the next best way to get eyes on people?

Spy glasses.

Loitering teenagers on skateboards.

- That's better. - Mm.

Yeah.

There he is.

Mom, promise you won't embarrass me.

What, me?

Okay, fine.

All right, you stay in the car.

We'll be right back.

Hey Lucas, I'm Goldy, Olive's mom.

And this is my friend Tom.

What's up?

I know who he is.

We can skateboard here.

No one said we couldn't.

Relax, relax.

We're just trying to figure out what happened

to Sterling Bridgewater.

Yeah, have you seen anything suspicious the last few days?

Nope, I already told the cops.

Lucas, it's, it's okay.

You can trust Tom and my mom's the best.

And you can trust me.

If there's anything you know, just tell them.

Morning of, I was grinding with my board

somewhere I shouldn't have.

Please don't tell my mom.

And I saw the groom.

He was like arguing with the bride before she kissed him

and he sort of pushed her away,

and she kinda like fell backwards.

So what?

So you saw the bride and groom together

the morning of the wedding.

Most definitely.

She was in a fancy dress with a jacket that said

"besties" on it with flowers, and he had on his tux.

So.

What time was that?

9:00, 10:00 ish.

You know what they were arguing about?

No, I tailed straight past 'em.

Can you take us to where that happened?

Thank you.

It was here.

After he pushed her, the groom walked that way.

Bride was on the ground

but she was like alive and everything, so.

Okay.

Okay, thank you Lucas.

Mom, is it okay if me and Lucas walk back to the van?

Sure.

Yeah. Yeah.

But go directly to the van and text me when you get there.

Okay.

I'm not a cool mom.

All right, so the morning of the wedding,

Jess and Sterling come out here.

Emotions are running high,

they had a big fight the night before.

So maybe they come out to talk.

Okay.

Jess, she goes in, she goes to kiss him.

Then he uh, pushes her.

Right, she goes down.

Sterling had an orangey rash in the back of his hand.

What do you do when you wanna wipe a kiss off your face?

What are we missing?

Rental car keys.

Jessamyn would never rent a car.

She's always chauffeured.

Something tells me this car is parked at the hotel.

Go to the hotel. - Okay.

Schultz.

What's up, Track?

Let's go.

Under Colorado law section 18-81-12

I'm arresting you for class six felony,

offense of a impersonating police officer.

You're making a big mistake.

No.

No, Tom, you did when you interfered

in an active investigation under suspension

as the prime suspect and posed as a cop to a photographer.

That's a mouthful, isn't it?

Let's go.

I'll be okay.

Yeah, there's a $300 charge on my credit card

I never authorized.

She was in a fancy dress with a jacket

that said "besties" on it.

She and Sterling were once engaged.

Well, Katie moved on.

Her dad never forgave Sterling's family

after almost losing his farm

investing in that stupid startup.

There's nothing more important than love.

Never take it for granted,

because it could be too late.

Detective, the last call Sterling made was to Jess

before he dropped the cell

according to a fall detection alert software.

And...

Why is Tom here?

Well, our suspect's in custody.

He just needs to confess her whereabouts.

We have new evidence that could help us crack both cases.

Shut it down, Kildea.

Hey.

Hey.

So just got back from Whitetail, like you asked.

I compared what you found at the land registry

to the MLS listings.

And guess who bought most of the defaulted properties

after Sterling's families skipped town?

- Westco Realty. - Mm-hmm.

Laurence gave out a lot of private loans

for business owners to save their properties.

So Tom's hunch about Laurence was right.

He was involved with a startup

and there's something he's not saying.

But it doesn't matter because I think I know who did it.

You think this is gonna work?

Only if Jess is alive, but we know how small towns work.

We tell one person, one thing, and before we know it,

it gets all over town and flushes out the killer.

Hopefully.

- Detective? - Mm?

A witness has come forward with new evidence

on the Sterling murder.

What witness, what evidence?

They only wanna speak with you.

I'm Detective Track.

Hi.

- You. - Hmm.

Before we begin, I'm a little parched.

Can I have some water?

Sure, sparkling or still?

Oh.

I, I'll get it.

Well, thank you Mason.

Hey.

What took you so long?

I went as fast as I could.

Mason.

Okay, what's going on?

What, what is this?

Well, I've got some new evidence for you.

You've been barking up the wrong tree, Davy.

Have a seat.

This might take a while.

It's a miracle, Jess escaped.

We are meeting at Elk Park Hotel lobby.

Where's Jess?

Is she okay?

I don't know, she hasn't shown up yet.

Goldy?

Where's Jess?

I don't know what you're talking about.

Everybody else is at the hotel,

but you came here because you wanted to see

if Jess had actually escaped.

So where is she?

How'd you figure it out?

There was a witness who saw Jess and Sterling kissing

the morning of their wedding.

But someone as superstitious as Jess

would never see the groom before her wedding.

It was you who was kissing and arguing with Sterling

after you had eaten avocado crackers.

And after you kissed him, he pushed you away.

You lost your keys,

which is why Ray was charged for an extra set.

This whole time,

you have been in love with Sterling.

You heard him, Goldy,

he talked about getting back together.

He wasn't serious, Katie.

I know that now but between that and hearing

he had cold feet, I...

I thought he wanted me back.

Where's Jess?

What did you do to her?

Sterling called her to confess that I kissed him.

He was sorry for having doubts and fighting with her.

But Jess went off on me.

She was gonna tell Ray,

I don't even remember what happened next.

Jess was on the floor and I,

I was holding a bloody candle holder.

So you panicked.

Instead of coming clean, you kidnapped her.

You brought her somewhere here.

I saw the mud and the hay on your tires.

You planted her phone, her book.

You had everyone thinking there were cassava crackers.

You, you, you spread rumors about Tommy, he lost his badge.

I, I didn't know what to do.

Did you just decide that since you can't have him

then no one else can?

No, I didn't know people with nut allergies

could have a problem with avocados.

I only fund out later.

Well, unfortunately, it was too late, Katie.

Oh!

Put that down, drop it.

Got it.

Katie, where's Jessamyn?

I'm done talking.

Look, she could be anywhere.

I, I used to play hide and secret with Katie

on this farm when we were little and I would never find her.

Jess.

Jess?

Jess.

Jess. - Jess.

Tommy!

Jess!

Tommy, I'm here!

- Jess, we're coming. - We're coming in.

- Here. - Okay.

Hurry up!

Jess, it's okay! It's okay.

Hey, you okay?

Oh, Jess!

Where's Sterling?

Where's my mom?

You're safe now, Jess.

Wait.

You were actually gonna wear that to my wedding?

A hamburger is not a sandwich.

It is the literal definition of sandwich.

Bread, meat, bread.

That is not how this works. - Sandwich.

- We should go. - Yeah, okay.

What's gonna happen to Katie?

She's gonna be charged.

But hopefully she gets the help that she needs.

It's so sad.

You know, all she never wanted was to love and be loved.

Thomas.

Hey.

I, I just wanna thank you both for bringing Jess back.

And I want to apologize.

No, no need, Laurence.

- No, no, no. - It's okay, I misjudged you.

I should have said something back in New York

when I discovered that Sterling's dad's startup

was a scam, but I didn't.

Anyway, thanks again.

You're welcome.

Oh man.

Schultz.

Track.

I was told to uh, apologize.

So this is me apologizing.

You've been reinstated.

I don't know how you two did it, but case is closed.

We did it because Goldy and I make a really good team.

Jess is under medical evaluation, but I got her statement.

Boy, did she have a lot to say.

Hey.

I should be mad, but I'll let it slide

since he did what I would've done, break a few rules.

No hard feelings then?

Oh, there's definitely hard feelings.

Sheriff put you on traffic duty for the next month.

Sorry, Mason.

So does this mean you'll be staying in town?

Depends if hamburgers make it on your sandwich board.

Oh.

You'll have to stick around to find out.

Can I give you a lift?

Yeah, thanks.

Hah!

I don't know how I feel about that.

Goldy, I wanna thank you.

You don't need to thank--

No, no, I do need to thank you.

You never once stopped believing in me.

Goldy, will you...

Go out on a date with me?

If your plate has any room left on it, that is.

You know what you feel like when you have

the really big meal and you are so full

that you couldn't possibly eat another bite,

but then you make room for dessert?

Are you suggesting that I'm the dessert?

Because I'm, I'm okay with that.

I'm gonna hold you to it, okay, Ms. Berry?

Okay.
