These floors are newly installed. Oak, steel brush finish, very stylish.

- How much? - Oh...

numbers can be negotiated.

What is important, Michelle, is that you can visualise

yourself starting an exciting new chapter here.

That means it is expensive.

Listen, Joanna, I'm on a budget.

So, I'd be happy to find a house where I can start a new boring chapter.

Why don't you just have a look around?

Houses have been on the market for months, so it's a great time to buy.

At this rate, I am never vacating your guest room.

Well, that's ok. You can stay as long as you need to.

Hannah, I just feel bad.

encroaching on your space, eating your food.

Losing all my the hot water. Not that I mind.

Oh, do you want to have dinner with mother? Eight o'clock?

Why does she uses so many question marks?

Honestly, I don't.

Oh, it's because I ignored her last text from 10 minutes ago.

Of course.

You asked him for space. He is giving it.

I know.

Ladies, I have two words for you.

Quartz countertops.

- Oh... - hmm...

Next house.

All right, Jed. What's the verdict?

Well, just a faulty coil. Should be good to go.

I'm so relieved. That oven has been out for two days, you are a lifesaver.

- Here's your check. - Thank you.

And can't let you leave empty hand.

Oh, Hannah, I really appreciate the call.

Of course.

- See you around, Jed. - Bye.

We are back in business, the ovens had been fixed. No worries.

Nothing like a little customer revolt

midway through breakfast, when we ran out of croissants.

Led by my mother, no less.

Oh, don't forget we still have to get back to Ken Purvis about

- catering his Booster Club fundraiser. - Oh, right, right.

Don't worry, we have restocks on everything,

so, you are gonna all get your favorites, okay?

Do we know the headcount on that?

Ah, you know, he said they're expecting over 100 people,

- but not until the end of May. - Okay.

But I still think I should go over the catering menu with him.

- I have time tomorrow at 06:00. - Okay, yeah. I'll let him know.

Vanilla bean and chocolate supreme cupcakes.

The cookies are still warm.

- Mike. - Hey.

- Why haven't you called my sister? - She told me not to.

- And you listened? - Look...

Hannah needs time to figure things out. I'm willing to wait because she's worth it.

Hmm. I think you're both impossible.

So, you stopped by just to grill me?

No, I promised Lonny that I would bring him donuts to The Cookie Jar.

Hungry?

I'm not much of a donut guy. Thank you, though.

Mm-hmm, which is why Hannah packed you a peanut butter cookie.

Call her.

You're welcome.

The first thing any good baker will tell you

is that mistakes are inevitable.

No matter how many times you've made a recipe

or how carefully you crack an egg,

your best intentions can sometimes end in a mess.

There comes a point in life

and in baking,

where you need to decide if something can be salvaged,

or if it's time to start over.

Mike.

Jed. I heard you're back in town.

About three weeks now.

Is everything all right?

Yeah, I haven't written a hydrant ticket for a long time,

but I'm guessing they're pretty expensive.

I'm doing some work for Mrs. Grimes in a bit down the road.

I just pulled over for a quick lunch. I didn't even see it.

I fixed an oven for Hannah earlier.

She wouldn't let me leave without a box of macaroons.

Yeah, she takes it as a personal insult if you leave the bakery without some pastries.

You're lucky to have her.

I'll move. No problem.

Okay, you enjoy those macaroons.

- Thanks, Mike. - Good to see you, Jed.

Oh. Hey, Lisa. Come here and taste this.

It's supposed to be a cross between, like, a danish and maybe a chocolate eclair.

What do you think?

- Delicious. - Oh good.

Hey, what's that?

Yeah, Rhonda Scharf never picked up her pie.

Her lemon meringue? This is not like her.

Oh, Ken called.

- He confirmed your 06:00 meeting tomorrow with The Booster Club event. - Okay.

- Is everything alright? - Yeah. Oh, it's fine.

That was just my brother, Thomas, family dispute.

Oh, I know all about those.

I have them with my mother almost every month.

Sometimes I don't even know they're happening.

- I brought your lemon meringue. - Thank you, Hannah.

Just, I forgot about it. Come inside.

Your lemon meringue pies are always a big hit at mahjong nights.

So happy to hear that.

- Do you play? - No.

Oh, you should swing by.

Yeah, we're meeting tonight at... oh, Betty Dwyer's.

That reminds me, actually, I have a lunch date with her next Friday.

If I don't write something down, I just completely forget about it.

I hear that.

So, can we expect to see you there tonight?

- Maybe next time. - Okay, next time.

- Thank you again. I really appreciate you dropping that off. - Of course.

My flight just got in late last night...

Were you on vacation?

No, actually, um...

I was in San Francisco for my aunt's funeral.

I'm so sorry. Were you close?

She was like a second mother to me.

This was hers, actually.

- My aunt was a collector. - Wow. They are beautiful.

She had a story behind every coin.

When I was a little girl, I would spend the summers at her house.

And I remember I would sit

and listen to her talk about her antique pieces, just for hours.

- May I? - Hmm-mm.

- These were my favorite. - Wow.

She would even indulge me when I would bring her coins that I have found on the playground.

She would simply thank me and just add it to her collection.

She sounds like a wonderful person.

Yeah, she really was.

It's nice to have a little piece of her with.

I'm just gonna put this away.

Oh, yeah, of course.

Hey, you know, I saw the "for sale" sign out front.

Yeah, I need a change.

I just... I don't think Lake Eden is the right place for me anymore.

Oh, wow. Do you know where you're gonna go?

I was thinking maybe the East Coast.

You don't know where?

That must sound strange.

I'm just ready for a fresh start.

Well, I, for one, think you were doing the right thing, honey.

Can I disagree, yes?

Marriage is forever Hannah.

You must go into it with clear eyes.

Well, I disagree. You miss him, so text send him.

Phone calls go both ways.

I guess I just thought that Mike and I were a team.

And obviously, he doesn't see it that way.

Well, I always thought that you and Norman made an excellent team.

- So you said. - Repeatedly.

You are aware that Norman has a girlfriend now, right?

Yes. And if she is smart, that Diana person will not let him get away.

- Can I say he may be proposing soon? - Yes, he might.

And I'm very happy for him.

I just had this vision in my mind of how Mike and I were together.

And now it's all been turned upside down,

and I don't even know where to start.

- How about hello? - It's not that simple.

I just think if you talk things through,

you'd be able to find your answers together.

You sound so sure.

I am the optimist of the family. Andrew is the realist.

Oh, girls, did you see that video that Andrea posted

of my granddaughter Hannah Tracy in ballet?

So cute.

I'm gonna send her pointe shoes for her birthday.

Yeah, I don't think that you're allowed to do pointe when you're so young. Right?

They make you wait until 11 or 12. They probably don't even have shoes that small.

- Although I'm sure mother could get her hands on anything. - Yeah.

So is that who I am in the family? The one who can get things done?

- Oh... - Yeah.

- I don't know if I would think. - You are very capable.

Of course I am.

Right.

- Who am I in the family? - The overthinker.

Great at solving mysteries, terrible at relationships.

- But I'm also the fun one. - True.

- Yeah. - Mother.

- And here you go. - Thank you.

Thank you so much. Everything was wonderful.

- Well, tomorrow's special is even better. - It's Osso Buco.

- Oh, wow. - Not to be missed.

All right, I had E.P. eggplant parmesan, and yours, Hannah.

Okay. Truly, girls. Who am I in the family?

Oh, you are the stylish one.

Oh, definitely.

Right, right, right.

- That's sage. - I know.

I can hear you

If you're having a problem with your faucet, I could have Jed to take a look at it.

I know what everyone says about him, but I wish you would give him a chance.

Alice, I just, I don't know what you see in him.

You could do so much better.

He makes me happy.

- I'm just calling a plumber tonight. - Good luck with that.

It took me two weeks to get an plumber to come out and look at my water heater.

- Really? - Hmm.

He can be there tonight.

05:30.

Thank you.

Hmm.

There used to always be pastries from The Cookie Jar here with the coffee.

Yeah. Yeah.

You and Hannah still in the rough patch?

You could say that. Yeah.

Well, tell her we all could use a little sugar boost.

- I will be sure to do that. - Great.

Yeah, I think I'll take one of those sesame seed tea cakes, please.

- Yeah, we're just closing up. Do you mind if I put it in a box? - Oh, sure.

I can't believe Ken Purvis was a no show.

- You don't mind if I head out, right? - No, go ahead, Hannah.

- Miss Winston. - Bradford Ramsey.

- Hello, hello. - Hello.

Wow, what a pleasure to see you again.

Wow.

What brings you to Lake Eden?

Well, I just accepted a position at the university.

Oh.

How do you two know each other?

Well, I... we, um...

We were graduate students at Minneapolis together.

Yeah, I think there was a year that we had almost every class together.

Yeah, such a great school.

And now you're a professor here?

Yes. Yeah.

Well, I'm here for year, but, you know,

perhaps it will turn into a permanent position.

That's great, that's great.

I certainly look forward to being a regular at The Cookie Jar.

I would love that.

Oh, thank you so much.

- Yeah, bye. - Bye.

Ken didn't leave a message, right?

No, I don't think so.

Wow.

- This is delicious. - Oh, thank you.

See you again.

- I'm just gonna go. - Okay, fine.

Well, here we are.

So, did Andrea give you any good advice about house hunting?

Well, I did learned one thing,

and that is that when your sister is a realtor, no other realtor is not good enough.

Well, you know, I feel the same way if I caught you in another bakery.

I can't believe Ronda is selling her house.

Yeah.

Hello Hello.

Are you ready to see your new home?

Oh, sorry. I'm running late. I had to stop and pick up.

Yoo-hoo, girls.

- Did you invite her? - No.

- Well, then how does she know? - I dont know. She has her ways.

- Mother. - Hey, Mom.

Now, buying a house is a big investment.

It requires careful deliberation.

There are many things to consider. Recessed or track lighting.

Carpet or wood floors.

Traditional or open concept?

- Well? - Well what?

What are your thoughts on recessed lighting?

I'm not sure I have thoughs on recessed lighting.

Oh, I've come just in time.

4441. Right.

Now she is very eager to sell, so I can give you a great price.

- Good. - Now, this house has everything.

It is functional. It is affordable.

And it's only a few blocks from me.

Oh, isn't that exciting? You will be like neighbors.

Hannah, Rhonda was so excited to learn I'd be showing your sister the house.

She said to come back anytime and look around.

Aw.

Hum?

And the best part is is turnkey ready.

Except for that, of course.

There's four bedrooms, two bathrooms.

The spare on the second floor can be used as a home office or a nursery.

Any plans to start a family?

Yes, Michelle.

Any plans?

Do the appliances come with the house?

I can certainly ask.

Which way to the master bedroom, please?

Second floor, straight down the hall.

Girls, everything you need to know about a house

you can tell by the closet space.

Did Rhonda say why she was so eager to sell?

She's thinking about moving back East.

And I've recommended some people who can help her find a place as wonderful as this.

Now, there's plenty of house to see,

including a beautiful en suite.

You know what? I was thinking I should bake Rhonda

some double fudged brownies to thank her and let her know

that we like the house. What do you think?

- I think it has potential. - Wonderful.

Wow, I just knew we were looking in the right place.

Hannah.

Mother, what are you doing?

Just a second.

Excuse us.

Mother, what is the problem?

Rhonda?

We're waiting on the coroner's report, but it looks like

unforced trauma to the back of the head.

So, we know she was struck from behind.

Do we have a murder weapon?

No. We've done an initial sweep of the house, but nothing yet.

I'm having K9 bring the dogs out. They will be here soon.

Okay, in the meantime, we'll just keep looking.

Let's widen our search perimeter. I want to make sure we don't miss anything.

- Yeah, you got it. - Sounds good.

She said she'd be at work.

She said I could use the lockbox key anytime.

Did you noticed anything strange when you entered the premises?

I simply wanted to check out her closet space.

Closet space is everything. You know right back down.

Do you think it was a break in?

Well, we went on a whole tour. There was no sign of forced entry. Nothing was taken.

So, you think that whoever did this was invited in?

So it makes sense.

I'm gonna go check on mother.

Hey, you okay?

Just in shock. I saw Rhonda the other day.

- Did you know her well? - She was a regular.

She came in on Saturdays for coffee and she had a weekly pie order.

Any idea who would want to hurt her?

I can't imagine anyone hurting Rhonda.

She volunteered at the library. She was a member of The Booster Club.

- She was a good person, Mike. - Okay.

Have you already given your statement?

- Yeah. - Okay.

Mike, the dogs will be here in five minutes.

Okay, great. Thanks.

We're expanding the search. And don't worry.

If the killer left any bit of evidence around, you know, we're gonna find that, okay?

Mike.

Nevermind. It's nothing.

If it triggered your alarm bells, it's probably something.

I came here the other day to see Rhonda,

and when I got here, she was talking to her brother Thomas.

the conversation seemed sort of heated.

Okay. Well, this is a good place to start. Thank you.

Does day or evening work best for you?

Either is fine for me, Ken. It'll only take 15, 20 minutes.

We'll go over the menu options and there will be samples.

Oh, I'm sure they'll be delicious. You are the anonymous choice to cater by members.

You have many fans on The Booster Club.

Oh, thank you.

You heard about Rhonda Scharf?

Oh yeah, very sad.

She was a member of The Booster Club. You must have known her well, right?

Well, for the last five years, she was always a bright spot.

How does this Friday work? Noon?

Yeah of course.

Noon will be fine.

You missed our appointment the other night. What happened?

Got caught up at work. Lost track of time.

I should have called. My mistake.

Yeah, no, of course. It's okay.

Happens to all of us.

Well, it doesn't give us much to go on.

- What is that? - Our suspect list.

Mother, you are not suggesting that we get involved in a criminal investigation, are you?

Well, you can't possibly expect me to just sit idly by and do nothing.

I discovered her. I have an obligation.

Isn't that how you felt about the many bodies you've discovered?

- Many is an exaggeration. - Hmm.

Jed Sawyer.

So, I overheard Alice tell Rhonda that he would swing by there

that night to look at her leaky faucet.

- Did you tell the police that? - Of course.

Wait a second. Why is my name on your suspect list?

Because it is always the person that you least expect.

And you were at the house.

So was Michelle.

I was.

Okay.

All right, ladies.

We are gonna have to split up and cover all our bases.

I am going to start with Rhonda's weekly mahjong group.

If they're anything like the ladies in my rotary club,

they will know everything down to her shoe size.

I'm gonna have to sit this one out.

Why?

Well, I'm helping Michelle with the house hunting and The Cookie Jar.

It's just got me stretched thin.

And she's very busy trying to avoid the lead detective.

Oh.

Well, I suppose it just all falls on me, then.

Ciao, girls.

Are you really going to let our mother attempt to solve a murder alone?

She's a capable woman.

Hannah, she called me in a panic last night at 10:00 p.m.

because she couldn't figure out how to download a PDF.

Besides, we know that you are incapable of sittting on the sidelines.

I bet you already have a working theory.

I don't.

Though I did notice there were two takeout containers from Alfredo's in Rhonda's refrigerator.

So, she did had a guest.

Mm-hmm.

Hey, let's print out those photos you took that day.

Oh, I already did.

Still trying to track down the brother.

Coroner puts Rhonda Scharf's time of death between 06:00 and 06:30 p.m.

According to the victim's employer, she was at work until 04:00.

The nearest neighbor was out of town on a vacation.

Didn't get back until this afternoon. But get this.

Rhonda was supposed to have Jed Sawyer come over

and take a look at a broken faucet that night.

Sawyer? Didn't just get back from state prison?

Earlier this month. Get two years larceny.

Okay.

Get a story? Cell phone?

Retrieved one on the scene, but we don't have the passcode to unlock it.

Subpoena her call records. Let's see if we can establish a timeline.

Copy that.

Kingston.

Mike, we found something.

I don't think Rhonda was here last night. Why?

Well, because she had two takeout boxes in her refrigerator.

Well, they could be old.

But it had "OB" on it and Osso Buco was a special last night, right?

Well, if there was two takeout boxes, then maybe someone else picked them up.

Maybe.

Do you have security cameras in here?

No.

Could I go through your receipts from last night?

Okay. I'm sorry, Hannah. You lost me.

Well, I'm just trying to figure out who Rhonda had dinner with.

That could be the last person who saw her alive.

That could lead us to our killer.

You're gonna have to talk to the owner when he's back tomorrow.

Thank you.

Michelle.

Why did I come all the way down here if you were already here?

I'm not gonna interrogate someone on a date.

Oh, well. Hi, Lonny.

Scooch.

Interrogate?

Oh, I was just asking Karen some questions.

Oh, she's gonna solve Rhonda Scharf's murder before you guys.

- Are you gonna eat these? - It's all yours.

- Good. - Awesome.

Look, I'm sorry, Hannah, but there is not realy much left to solve.

We've got the murder weapon.

K9's found a wrench buried in the woods by her property.

Forensics are testing for a match, but...

How do you go from a buried wrench to a murder suspect?

It was engraved with initials.

- Jed Sawyer? - Yeah.

Just to be clear, you are not being detained.

You can stop at any time. Or, of course, you can seek legal counsel.

I understand. I got nothing to hide.

I got to Rhonda's house around 05:30. Maybe a little later.

Okay. And how long did you stay?

Ten minutes.

Ten minutes? Took you ten minutes to fix the sink?

I didn't fix it. I needed parts, so I left.

Do you normally leave your tools behind?

- No. - But you left your wrench.

I must have missed it.

I had used it to turn off the water, then turn it back on.

But you didn't notice it was gone.

Of course, he didn't.

We know what this is about, detective.

He made one mistake and no one in this town will let him forget it.

Ma'am, we're just talking here.

He called me on his way there.

He was home by six. We had dinner.

That's all you need to know.

I am sorry.

It's been difficult for her. Rhonda was a friend.

According to Rhonda's manager, you two had an argument

in Caine's shop earlier this month, and you were asked to leave.

I was picking up Alice from work.

Rhonda wasn't too happy that she and I had started back up after I got back from prison.

She was not shy about it.

Alice was always trying to play the peacemaker.

It's kind of strange that

you would do a favor to somebody that disliked you so much.

I did it for Alice.

Okay.

Oh...

Hey, um...

Sorry, one last question.

Why didn't you come back to finish the job?

I did. The next morning.

But when I got there, I saw the cop cars and

I freaked out and left.

Mike, I didn't hurt her.

I swear.

What?

Are you gonna fill me in about this Bradford situation?

We dated in grad school, a little bit.

It was nothing.

If there was nothing to tell, you would have said something when he first came in.

He probably doesn't even remember.

Oh, he remembers.

The question is, how do you feel about that?

Well...

Gotta go. Alice is here.

How is Jed doing?

He is scared.

How are you doing?

Um, terrified, but doing my best not to show it.

I just got him back, and now I may lose him again.

What happened?

I don't know.

He told me he was only at Rhonda's for a few minutes.

He even said she was nice to him. They talked about her trip.

Things have been hard since he's been back.

After that disaster with Joanna Grimes kitchen,

he was afraid no one would hire him.

But we just can't afford to up and leave town.

You never judged him, Hannah.

You don't know how much that means to him.

Well, if there is anything I can do to help, you just have to ask.

Actually, there is.

The police are convinced of his guilt.

Our lawyer said it's only a matter of time before Jed is charged.

I know that you are good at these kind of things,

that you find the truth.

It's like Eden's worst kept secret.

Are you asking me to look into it?

Can you?

I kind of already am.

I just feel so terrible about the whole thing.

Jed only went there because I asked him to.

He wouldn't be in this mess if it weren't for me.

You cannot blame yourself for this, Alice.

All I know is that I'm wanna do everything I can to protect him.

I know if it were reversed he would do the same.

I do have to ask you one question.

Is there any chance in your mind that Jed is responsible?

He told me he was innocent.

What good is a relationship if the person you're with doesn't believe in you?

- Miss Swenson. - Oh, hello, sheriff.

We haven't seen you here for a while.

Yeah, yeah, no, I'm just here to see Mike.

Oh, that's great.

The whole station has been wondering when you're gonna forgive him.

Really?

Oh, great.

Look, I'm not one to play matchmaker, but I have been married a lot of years,

and like as the wife always says, it's all about communication.

I guess that's true. Thank you. This is good advice.

Why don't you have a seat? And I'll let him know you're here.

Have a seat.

- Mm-hmm. Right there. - Right. Okay.

Yeah, sure. No problem. Thank you.

You're welcome.

There you are.

Mike, hey. Had sort of an interesting conversation with the sheriff.

Yeah, I heard. He is taking it as a good sign that you're here.

And you're not?

Well, I know why you're here.

His fingerprints aren't even on the wrench, Mike.

I mean, I didn't meant to look, but, you know, it's right here.

There's no fingerprints on the wrench because it was wiped clean, Hannah.

Look, it's from Jed's toolkit. His initials are on it.

Exactly. Why would he leave it behind? He knows it links back to him.

Hannah, it was buried under a foot of dirt. It took bloodhounds to find it.

And come on, he was the last person to see Rhonda alive.

And the guy does have a criminal record.

As a thief. He is trying to turn his life around.

I'm not saying that he is guilty. I'm saying it's my job to follow the evidence.

And right now, I have Jed at scene of the crime

and I have a murder weapon that ties to him.

I, uh...

I better get back to work.

Me too.

Rhonda never mentioned a boyfriend.

She didn't talk about a guy?

Someone came to pick her up after work sometimes?

No.

And I feel like she would tell me.

Lord knows, I poured my heart out to her.

Though, there was one thing.

She bought a bottle of this a few weeks ago.

Bay Harbor cologne.

- I'm guessing it wasn't for her. - Right.

- Excuse me. - Okay.

Work, huh?

If you're shopping for me, I wear Old Spice.

Oh, I know.

I just had an errand to run.

But I found out that Rhonda just purchased this cologne not long ago.

I'll admit, I'm dying to know what rabbit hole you're falling down now.

Clandestine love affair. But it's just a working theory.

No, it's always possible. But we processed the scene, Hannah.

All the evidence points in one direction.

Jed.

Sorry about that.

Hello, detective.

Hello, Alice. Do you have a minute?

- Of course. - Great.

You said you had dinner with Jed that night at 6:00 p.m.

That's right.

We've got a witness that puts you on the other side of town,

at Heavenly Bodies Gym. Until 09:00.

I thought it was six.

I guess I was mistaken.

So you didn't see Jed that night until well after 09:00.

I guess not.

Sure.

I understand you are on the fence, but these kinds of deals they just don't last forever.

Okay, sure, sure.

Well, hope to hear from you soon.

Joanna. Hi.

Hannah, hi. What are you doing here?

Well, I called your office and they told me how busy you are.

- with all these open houses. - Uh-huh.

And I just thought I would drop by and maybe offer you some

almond kisses.

Oh, my.

- Oh, so good. - The whole box is for you.

- Thank you. - You're welcome.

And I wanted to ask you,

when was the last time you spoke to Rhonda?

Hmm.

I called her the day before the tour to arrange the details.

- Do you need help with that? - No, no, no, I'm fine.

- Okay. - Thank you.

Day before. Do you remember what time?

Um, around 08:00 am. Right before she went to work.

Does she seem off to you?

Does she seem, you know, I don't know, maybe desperate?

No. She seemed determined to get the sale over with.

Right.

Do you know if she was seeing anyone or had a boyfriend?

Uh, no, no.

No, no. She always seemed too busy

with The Booster Club and everything to date.

Right.

Hey Hannah, I do have to get going. But can I ask what this was about?

Jed Sawyer is maintaining his innocence.

Oh, I see.

Do you know something?

I hired Jed to replace my cabinet shortly after he'd returned to town.

I believe in second chances.

And he gave me a great quote.

Hannah, I didn't want to say anything, but I can't tell you what a mistake that was.

The work was not good and

he tried to charge me for days that I know he didn't show up.

- What did you do? - Well, I refuse to pay him.

It's gonna cost me double to finish what he's done.

He got so angry.

Hannah, I was like you. I wanted to assume the best.

I won't be making that mistake again.

- Thanks for the cookies. - Of course.

- What are you looking for here? - I don't know.

But I'll know it when I see it.

Are these all the photos that you took?

Well, after we found the dead body, it felt impolite to continue.

Mother.

- I have news. - Hello to you too.

So, I was able to catch up with some of the ladies from Rhonda's mahjong group.

And?

And I apparently have a knack for the game.

- I won $15 and their respect. - Mother.

Oh, yes.

So, it turns out that Rhonda was seeing someone.

- Socially, I mean. - Oh.

Hold that thought. Let me get the door.

Who just turns up unannounced like this?

You. You literally just did.

Andrea.

What?

Oh, honey, it's been so long since I've had all my girls together.

I had no idea you were coming to town. - Surprise.

Surprises are not good for their complexion. A little stinker.

After what happened with you taking Michelle house hunting without me, I figured that you needed me.

Oh, she has a point. How long can you stay?

Bill and Tracy are doing a little father daughter camping trip,

so, I figured it was a great time to take a few days away.

Wait wait wait.

He is taking my little Hannah Tracy camping?

She is seven and she's dropping "Hannah", and would just like to be called Tracy now.

Oh. She is an little independent woman.

- She gets that from me. - Fill me in on the investigation.

Well, wait. How did you know?

Oh, sweetheart, please. Your sister is a mother now.

- You can't get anything past her. - She told me. - All right.

So, I discovered that Rhonda was having an affair.

It Must have been an affaire du cour.

- What? - A romantic entanglement.

- She was keeping it secret. - Ohhhh.

Either way, that means there's somebody out there with the motivation to hurt her.

But if she's keeping it from those closest to her, how are we gonna find them?

Maybe I need to go undercover again.

- Oh, dear. - No, yeah, uh... maybe not. But I was thinking...

that the police might have overlooked something at Rhonda's. So, we should check it out.

I could use some help.

Oh, I'm supposed to meet Lonny later.

Oh, Michelle.

Your generation has no dedication to the cause.

- Okay, that's not the same. - No, no, Michelle. You do you

And mother, maybe you could just take Andrea out for a nice dinner. I'll handle it.

Um, no way. I'm not missing out.

Ladies, we ride at dark.

Should've brought a real flashlight.

- I didn't want to draw attention to us. - Uh, hello.

What exactly are we hoping to find?

Well, I think that maybe Rhonda was seeing someone.

But mother can't find out who.

Don't blame this on me.

I can only do so much.

So, I thought maybe there might be some sort of clue in the trash,

like, I don't know, love letters or receipts or something.

I'm just shocked. She doesn't separate her recycling.

Okay, mother.

I just feel like I'm running out of time to help Jed.

I don't want him to take the fall for something he didn't do.

And why are you so sure that it's not Jed?

Because I have to believe that people can change.

And grow and that we are not doomed to repeat the same mistakes over and over again.

Are we talking about Jed, or are we talking about Mike now?

Not you too, Andrea.

For what it's worth, Bill said that you can't be easy to work with.

Oh, really? You and Bill are perfect.

Bill would never do that to you.

Are you kidding me? We've made plenty of mistakes.

There's tons that we both wish we could take back.

Hannah, do you meet your point.

Mike is not gonna make the same mistakes.

You don't know that for sure.

Look at this. She might have already won the sweepstakes.

Oh good.

All right, it's time to go, girls. It's getting hot around here.

Hot?

When I picked her up, she was watching a black and white whodunnit like it was a masterclass.

Okay.

Oh, shi... sorry.

Oh, no.

- I'm gonna go inside. - What?

Yeah, Rhonda invited me, right? So, just a few minutes. Five minutes.

- Wait in the car. Okay? - Hannah, Louise.

Uh-oh.

Oh, um.

Thank you.

- Thank you. - Five minutes.

Well...

Follow me.

Okay. 4441.

She'd say I could come back anytime.

You okay?

It's too cold for my vocal cords. It's a five-minutes chat.

Duck.

Hannah, get out.

Well, that was a quick five minutes.

It's okay. It's okay. It's all right.

He is in the bedroom. I'm gonna get you out of here, okay?

- Okay. - Okay.

Okay.

Just follow me.

Police, stop where you are.

Oh.

Well, what happened? Did he get away?

- No. - We called 911, They're on their way.

Thank you. I canceled it.

Why would you do that? Aren't you gonna arrest him?

What went down in there?

I convinced him not to press charges.

- Against Hanna. - Me?

That was Thomas Scharf, Rhonda's brother.

Yeah.

- My world's really dark. - Oh, Hannah.

Can I have the keys to his house, please?

I think you guys should get out of here.

- Thank you for calling me, Andrea. - Of course.

Yeah, thanks for calling him.

What are sisters for, though?

Drive safe.

So, you met Rhonda's brother.

Sort of.

- Were they close? - No.

I don't think they happened for some time.

It's one of the reasons Rhonda was anxious about attending her aunts' funeral.

Was there a particular reason for the bad blood?

From what Rhonda told me, they are just very different people.

He's kind of stuck up.

He works in finance.

Finance? I would never have guessed that.

Why not?

He just didn't have that finance guy vibe.

I saw them arguing at Rhonda's house the day before she died.

Rhonda did mention that there were some disagreements about her aunt's estate.

She felt outgunned by his team of lawyers.

Over inheritance?

Their aunt was very wealthy.

Hannah, any new clues?

Well, mother, I'm here with Andrea.

And we were thinking that maybe you would take her to the airport tomorrow

so, that I could attend Rhonda's funeral.

Of course. The killer always turns up at the funeral.

Right. Well, maybe.

So, you'll do it? You'll take her?

Darling, you're gonna need backup at the funeral.

Wich is why I invited Michelle. She'll meet me there.

Mother, I agree with you.

I think you should go with Hannah. I'll just get a car.

- Ow. - Thank you, Andrea.

And please make sure that your sister wears something appropriate.

Thanks, mother.

Hello, Dolores.

Oh, Ken.

Hello.

How are you today?

Is there something I can help you with?

I don't think so.

Well, I've been told you've been talking to members of The Booster Club,

Asking questions about my relationship with Rhonda Scharf.

Well, I've been talking to a lot of people about Rhonda.

Her death came as quite a shock.

I was there if you must know.

Well, if there is something you'd like to know

I prefer that you ask me directly. All right?

I've been here for almost two days, and you still haven't said

anything about the new professor at the university.

Why would I?

Uh-huh. Nice try, Hannah.

Michelle may have been too young, but

I remember how much you had a crush on him at college

and how hurt you were when he moved on.

Listen, I'm not interested in Bradford Ramsey.

I just want to be with Mike.

I know. I just wanted to hear you say it.

- Mother. - Ken Purvis threaten me.

What?

Oh, yes, I ran into him at the Caine's Shop.

He demanded that I stop asking around about his relationship with Rhonda.

Why were you asking about Ken Purvis?

Well, Hannah mentioned that he missed

an important meeting with her on the night of the murder.

Giving him opportunity.

I was curious if maybe he had a motive.

Mother, I have to be honest.

I'm not comfortable with you putting yourself in a dangerous situation like that.

My, how the tables have turned.

If I am ruffling feathers, it means that I'm on the right track.

I will not be intimidated.

Well, that is definitely true.

- Do you want to tell us all about what you learned? - Yes. Come, sit.

All right.

Earlier this month, Ken Purvis fired Rhonda

abruptly from her post at The Booster Club.

Stranger yet, no one I spoke with knows why.

- Oh... - That is good work, mother.

And that's not all, folks.

When I looked down into his basket,

there was a bottle of Bay Harbor cologne.

- Really? - Hm.

My car is here. Gotta go.

- Oh. - Oh no.

Keep me posted on what you found out at the funeral.

Oh, and I will see you next month. My little Hannah ne...

- Tracy needs me. - I love you.

- I love you too, sis. - I love you.

- I'll see you soon. And stay safe. - I will try.

- You're such a perfect daughter. - Oh, stop it.

Miss you already.

I can hear you

So nice to see so many came out for this service.

Seems like Rhonda had a lot of friends in this town.

But you know who I didn't see?

I didn't see Rhonda's brother.

Perhaps he left because of an unpleasant home invasion.

Ooh, a singer.

Oh, Johanna, your poem recitation was so moving.

- Thank you so much. - Yeah.

Mike, what are you and the sheriff doing here?

Well, the sheriff just wanted us to have a presence here. You know, keep an eye out.

Hello, Hannah. Dolores.

Did you know Rhonda well?

She was one of Hanna's dearest customers.

Right, of course.

I was hoping to offer my condolences to Rhonda's brother, but I didn't see him.

Hannah, I'm not sure that's such a great idea.

Thomas? He is just over there.

I can introduce you.

Great. Thank you.

Thomas.

How are you holding up?

As well as can be expected. It's very good to see you, Johanna.

- I'd like to introduce you to... - Miss Swensen.

We are so very, very sorry

About your loss. Rhonda was such a lovely woman.

Thank you so much.

My sister would have been heartened to see how many people showed up to celebrate her life.

If you excuse me. Thank you all for coming.

- That is not Rhonda's brother. - What?

Yeah, I saw him at Rhonda's house the day before she died.

And that's not Thomas Scharf.

- Well, does she have another brother? - No.

Hannah.

I assure you, I've known him for many years.

I don't know who you think you saw, but that is Thomas Scharf.

I don't understand what you're telling me.

You think that the man that was at Rhonda's funeral,

who's actually staying at her house, you think he's an impostor?

Yes.

Well, no.

Maybe.

It's just he's not the man Rhonda claimed was her brother.

- So, you think he's lying? - Or Rhonda was.

- And what would she have to gain? - What would he have to gain?

Hannah, I checked his identification when he first gave me his name.

These can be faked, can't they?

This is an ongoing criminal investigation. We have done our due diligence.

No, of course. I get that.

It just feels like something weird is going on here.

Johanna told me that Thomas has taken Rhonda's house off the market.

That does not seem weird to me.

He just lost his sister. He probably wants to go through her belongings.

Is there any chance that you misheard what Rhonda told you?

Hannah? Ken Purvis is here.

Here are the most popular options.

Go ahead, try.

We'd like to choose four to six different options.

Wanna make sure your guests have plenty of variety.

- What do you think of the cannoli? - That's amazing.

Amazing. Add him to the list please.

- Okay. - Also, do you make...

What is it called?

A pastry tower with sponge sugar?

- Oh, a croquembouche? - That's right.

My wife and I recently got back from Versailles.

- It was our anniversary. - Wow.

And we saw one in a patisserie window.

- It made quite a statement. - They sure do.

I do know my way around a profiterole.

I'd be happy to place that out for you.

- Please. - Okay.

My mother mentioned that she saw you at Caine's Shop the other day.

I'm afraid I might have been a little curt.

You have to understand, Hannah, this is a small town.

Rumors have a tendency to catch.

Having my name associated with a murdered woman?

I heard that Rhonda had been fired from The Booster Club.

Can you tell me why?

I don't like to speak ill of the dead.

Rhonda was an invaluable member for years.

She ran points on many of our fundraisers.

She just became unreliable.

Unreliable? How?

Late for meetings, sloppy bookkeeping.

She just seemed distracted by something else going on in her life.

And it had affected her work.

It was nothing against her personally.

I just couldn't justify having her in that position.

Of course. I understand.

Help yourself to a macaron.

Do you want to add those to those two?

- Please. - Great.

I don't get it. We have Sawyer at the crime scene. We have his wrench.

Why is the DA dragging his feet on this?

He wants a motive. Case is purely circumstantial.

Bring Sawyer in for another round of questioning.

And this time, press his story.

- Kingston. - Detective, this is Thomas Scharf.

Mr. Scharf, I'm sorry. I don't have any updates on your sister's case.

I'm not calling about Rhonda's murder.

Okay. So then, how can I help you?

I'd like to report a theft.

So, what happened to Johanna Grimes?

It was a good work, Hannah.

I paid for the materials, and then she just stiffed me.

She says you didn't show up and that she's gonna have to pay to have the work finished.

I take pride in my work.

I shouldn't have walked away,

but I needed to cut my losses.

When you were working at Rhonda's, did you notice anything unusual?

No.

Did she ever mention her brother?

You know, now that you mention it,

when I was there he kept calling her cell phone, but she wasn't answering.

- She just sent it to voicemail. - Like she was avoiding him?

She certainly wasn't doing it as a courtesy to me.

I got a warrant to search the premises.

When Rhonda was in San Francisco for her aunt's funeral,

she took something from the estate.

- Took, as in stole? - Yeah.

A box of antique coins, they were worth a lot of money.

Thomas claims that they were supposed to split them,

but Rhonda disappeared before the lawyer got there.

And I guess Thomas turned the house upside down looking for it.

Wait, doesn't that give Thomas a motive?

Yeah, but he would have had no way to get his hands on Jed's tools in order to frame it.

I think I know where those coins are, Mike.

- They were right here. - Did she have a safe deposit box?

No, I've already spoken to the bank.

If you saw them the day before she died, then they've definitely been stolen.

Hannah, those coins were worth six figures.

If Rhonda caught Jed trying to steal them, that is grand larceny.

he'd be going back to prison for a long time.

I should give a motive for murder.

- Hi. - Bradford, hello.

Welcome back. What'll you have?

I will have the same again, thanks. The tea cake was delicious.

I'm so happy to hear that. But I do have a rule about repeat orders, professor.

Really? What kind of rule?

I like to encourage people to try at least three different things

before they get hooked on one, and then they just order the same thing over and over again.

I like that rule.

Yeah, in that case, I'll have a slice of lemon meringue pie, please.

Okay, sounds good.

What is this?

That is a logo that I saw on a t-shirt.

I'm just trying to remember as much detail as I can

because it would be great if I could identify the company.

Here you are.

My sister thinks it looks like a turtle.

Yeah, I think I know what this logo is.

- Really? - Yeah.

Yeah. Is that what you saw?

That's exactly it. Yes, thank you so much.

- Lemon meringue is on me. - Oh, thank you very much.

Thanks.

It is a logo for a construction company in Bloomington.

- And you saw this on his shirt? - Definitely.

Do you think you'd recognize the guy if you saw him again?

Let's take a ride.

So, how did you figure out the logo?

Oh, well, I've been trying to sketch out what I remembered from that t-shirt design.

Not the best work, but a customer recognized it.

A customer?

Yeah, it's someone I knew from college and has moved to town.

Huh.

So, what do you mean by "huh"?

Three separate people have told me about the new university professor

that has been coming into The Cookie Jar... every day.

Sometimes living in a small town is very difficult.

I agree with that.

But I'm sure you noticed that you were choosing to withhold information from me.

It's not the same.

Okay, well, then why didn't you tell me about an old college flame that moved to Lake Eden?

Okay, because there's nothing to tell.

I haven't spoken to Bradford in 20 years, and he just showed up.

and he was definitely not an old college flame.

And we just dated briefly.

I am very happy to hear that.

And Hannah,

I wish that I handled the McDowell case differently.

I'm so sorry

that I didn't tell you about the pressure the sheriff was putting on.

Thank you, Mike.

That means a lot to me.

And...

I think we could both work on being more honest with each other.

And now...

why don't you tell me what you have on this construction company?

Well, I've done a lot of research since I found out about them.

How much time do you have?

20 minutes drive to Bloomington. I got all the time.

You want to see the best in people.

You want to live in a world in which Jed is a good guy.

He comes over, he fixes your oven and you give him a box of macaroons.

- Macarons. - What?

I gave him a box of macarons.

Are we not saying the same thing?

Macarons are a little French cookie. A sandwich cookie.

Macaroons are made with coconut.

Okay, that's not really relevant.

It's an entirely different cookie, Mike.

The point is, I think you should start preparing for the very real possibility

that Jed is not the person that you think he is.

But he might be exactly the person that I think he is.

Hey, hey, that's him right there.

- Are you sure? - Yeah, 100%. That's the guy.

Excuse me.

Can I speak to you for a minute, please?

- Is there a problem, officer? - No problem. Mister...?

Abrams, Clint.

Mr. Abrams, I'd just like to ask you a few questions about Rhonda Scharf.

I don't know a Rhonda Scharf.

Really? Why were you at her house the other day?

We have an eyewitness that put you at 32 Cedar Drive in Lake Eden a few days ago.

Me, I'm the problem.

Hi.

Right. Rhonda Sharf. Now I remember.

She wanted some work done in her kitchen, called me in for an estimate.

Then why did you say you were her brother?

You said you gave her an estimate.

I'm assuming you have some paperwork on that?

Yeah, I'm sure I have something.

Do you mind if I take a look?

With a warrant, sure.

I'm not about to volunteer myself for a criminal investigation.

Now, if you excuse me, I'm late for a job crosstown.

Thanks for your time.

- What a liar. - Yeah.

Why would anyone get an estimate on a renovation

after you put your house up on the market?

Yeah, well, that too.

But he's wearing Bay Harbor cologne.

A lot of it.

Mother, can I get you something?

I'm hot on the trail. I need a double chocolate, stat.

Okay. Why? What are you up to?

I've been tailing Ken Purvis. I always think better with a cookie.

You know, he was here earlier.

Oh, I know. I've been tracking all his movements.

I do think he's hiding something.

He was very quick to jump into all of Rhonda's faults.

Of course he's hiding something. He was having an affair with her.

Oh, I actually don't think that was him.

I think that might have been a different man

Really? Can the plot thickens?

So, where did you see Ken?

I got the drop on him over at The Chameleon.

He was giving Ellis a hard time for putting tuna in his salad. Niçoise.

But that doesn't make any sense.

The whole point is to have tuna in an niçoise salad.

Exactly.

Turns out that our Ken purvis is a vegetarian.

Wait, mother.

Are you sure? Really?

But that's the least of it. I will not stop until I uncover all his secrets.

For Rhonda's sake.

Oh, put on my tab, honey.

You don't have a tab.

So, you think Rhonda was dating this Clink guy?

Well, the cologne fits.

Okay, but Ken Purvis also had the same cologne.

- So, maybe it's just that popular. - Right, I forgot.

My Ken purvis theory is in the trash.

Turns out he's a vegetarian.

- Ah, so it's a no go on the Osso Buco. - Exactly.

So, what did you and Mike talk about on your way to Bloomington?

- The case, mostly. - Mostly?

We also talked about us.

And did Mike apologize?

What's this all about? I thought you were team Mike.

The only way for you two to move forward is to confront what split you up head on.

You can't keep avoiding the elephant in the room.

It'll just come back to haunt you.

He did apologize.

- Sincerely. - Good for him.

And by the way, I'm Team Hannah.

Now let's see what I can dig up on bachelor number two.

You know what I don't get?

Is why Rhonda had to keep it secret from her friends she's dating Clint.

Why wouldn't she just tell them?

I may have a theory on that.

Hey, isn't that Karen, the bartender from Alfredo's?

Mm-hmm. Mother was right.

Romantic entanglement. Affaire de coeur.

Okay. I get it.

- She was keeping it a secret. - I remember. - Yeah.

- We can't ever tell her she was right. - No, definitely not.

I told you Rhonda wasn't here.

The police have her credit card statements.

You're telling me they're not gonna find a charge from this restaurant on the night of her murder?

She may have been here. The restaurant gets very busy.

Did you know that she was seeing Clint?

What do you mean?

Well, you were dating Clint Abrams, right?

How do you know that? Do you know Clint?

He did some roof work for a friend.

Did you talk to Rhonda that night?

Is that what you don't want me to know?

He was seeing her for six months behind my back.

- How would you feel? - When did you find out?

Two weeks ago.

She left something in his car.

Maybe she did it intentionally, so, I'd see. I don't know.

- What did you do? - I confronted Clint.

He swore that he'd end it.

But when I saw her in here the other night

- ordering two meals to go... - You assumed the worst.

I followed her into the parking lot, and we argued.

She told me that she hadn't spoken to Clint in weeks.

But you didn't believe her?

No.

Look, I'm sorry that I lied.

So, when she turned up dead, I got scared that someone hurt a spite.

Do you think that Clint met with her that night?

I don't know. I haven't heard from him since.

- Hello. - What a surprise.

- Please, come in. - Thank you.

I just brewed a pot of tea. I'd love you to join us.

- Us? - Good morning dear.

- Mother, hello. - Are those croissants?

No, they're ginger apple scones.

So, what are you doing here?

Thomas was just telling me the most delightful stories about Rhonda.

Oh, and were you too close?

Well, as children, I suppose. But siblings grow up and apart.

One of my sisters lives in my guest room. - Yes.

Oh, how unique.

- Would you mind if I... - Where I find the bath?

She is...

- The third door on the left. - Thank you.

- Lovely. - Mmm.

I understand your daughter doesn't share my suspicion about Jed Sawyer.

Oh, we don't.

So, who has aroused suspicion then, if not the last person to have been seen with her?

There are multiple suspects.

We have a few theories, but nothing...

concrete.

Oh, pardon me. Would you like some honey?

Oh no. I'm a purist.

You know, um...

they searched Jed's entire property and never found your box.

Well, maybe he sold it.

It's not a stereo, or a flat screen TV.

You and I both know that you can't sell something like that without a paper trail.

You'd have to fence it.

What is it you do exactly, Miss Swensen?

Dolores, please.

Do you think that Ronda planned to sell those coins?

No, my sister was sentimental.

The idea of ​​those coins being in the someone else's possession

- would have hurt her deeply. - Oh, but not you.

Well, unlike my sister, I don't have time for sentimentality.

I don't see any sense in holding onto the past.

That money could have been invested for both of our futures.

My sister always had a hard time letting go.

Oh, pardon me.

Hello.

Mother, I kill you.

We need to develop a better code system.

Your signals are simply inadequate.

Later, okay? Look at this.

I found a letter that she sent to the vice president of The Booster Club,

but she forgot to put a stamp on it, so it was returned.

- Oh, so sorry about that. - Mm-hmm.

Now,

- where were we? - Scones?

- Officer, see you got your warrant. - Hmm.

We subpoenaed Rhonda's phone records,

and there were dozens of phone calls made to and from your cell phone number,

dating back the last six months.

So, you want to tell me the real reason you were at Rhonda's house that day?

I was having second thoughts about breaking it off.

I told Ronda that I wanted to be with her instead of Karen, but

she said he was moving away.

Did she say why she was moving?

All she said was she had something to do and that was going to cause some trouble.

Didn't want to be around for the fallout.

- Fallout? - She kick out me.

But she seemed pretty upset.

Hmm.

And where were you the night that Rhonda was killed?

Fishing, out on Lake Eden.

At night?

Best time for Walleye.

Anyone with you?

Nope.

In this letter, Ronda talks about how

she discovered discrepancies in The Booster Club finances,

and how she went to Ken Purvis thinking that he would want her to investigate.

Instead, he fired her.

So, she immediately became suspicious.

So, Ken Purvis was embezzling money from The Booster Club.

And using the money to jet set de Versailles for Croquembouche.

At least, that's what Ronda thought.

I mean, everyone knows you go to Paris for Croquembouche, but...

I just think the timing is suspicious, you know?

I mean, she gets murdered right when she was about to blow the whistle.

I mean, no wonder Ronda wanted to skip town.

Her boss was a crook, her boyfriend was a cheat.

Oughta been gone yesterday.

Well, Thomas did say she had trouble letting go of the past.

Hold on.

This photo shows the calendar on May.

That's weird. We're only halfway through the month.

And in your photos, I could have sworn…

Yeah. In your picture the calendar is on April.

How is that possible? These photos are taken less than 20 minutes apart.

I think I know who killed Rhonda.

Mike, I'm at Rhonda's. I... Oh. I gotta go.

Sorry to bother you. Can I come in?

- I'm afraid this isn't a good time. - It'll just take a minute.

Thank you.

I do think that Ronda was killed because of the coins, but not by Jed Sawyer.

How can you be so certain?

Because when I was on the tour with my sister,

she was taking photos of the house and she took a picture of this kitchen

and you could see that the calendar was on April.

But now it's on May.

I don't understand what you are implying.

And what does the paper calendar have to do with anything?

Well, there was no sign of forced entry.

And when we were, there were two takeout containers in the fridge.

So, I think Ronda invited the killer in.

I think they had planned to meet.

Meet with Joe?

Joanne?

Yeah, I can show you that property tomorrow, Nicole.

Okay. Bye bye.

You killed Rhonda?

It's not what you think.

It's exactly what I think.

You wanted to rip April off from the calendar

because Rhonda's note proves that you were at the scene at the time of her death.

You told me that you only spoke to her on the phone the morning that she died.

but that's not true. You came here that night.

You two had dinner together.

And then she told you about the coins.

And she showed you where they were, didn't she?

Just like she showed me.

I only took a few of them. Just a few.

I didn't even think she would miss them.

But she caught you.

She threatened to phone the police. She wouldn't listen to reason.

Why?

Because houses are sitting on the market for months and you work on commission.

That's why you didn't pay Jed Sawyer, right?

Because when he time came you couldn't afford it.

My life would be ruined, Hannah.

Who would let me show their house after I was branded a thief?

I didn't want to hurt her. I didn't... - But you did.

Thomas.

She trusted you. She considered you a friend, we both did.

How could you do this?

No, Thomas, no. You can't do this, please.

- She killed my sister. - I know, but you...

Police. Thomas put the gun down.

Put it down

Put it down

Step away. Keep your hands up.

You, keep your hands where I can see them.

Just going 10-15.

I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me.

Oh, it's okay. She was your sister and you loved her.

Thank you.

You make a strange first impression.

I heard that before.

But I'm glad to have met you.

- Cutting it close. - Traffic.

Hey, when I told you to call me before you run headlong into danger, I should have specified.

A head start might be nice.

Next time.

I wanted to deliver this lemon meringue in person.

Is this gonna be a weekly order?

Rhonda always wanted me to join her mahjong club.

It's just a little way to honor my friend.

I think that's so nice.

- Thanks, Hannah for everything. - You don't have to thank me.

Who you are shouldn't be determined by a past mistake.

Maybe not.

We only get the second chances that other people give us.

I tried to warn you about using Johanna as your realtor.

You have good instincts, Andrea.

So, Johanna let us into that house,

knowing that her victim was right there inside.

How dare she use us like that?

Well, she wanted to control how the body was found.

And she knew that if her name apperead on a forensics report,

it would only be because she was showing Michelle the house.

So, what about Ken Purvis?

The sheriff is having Mike investigate him.

And I'm sure that his comeuppance is on the way.

Cracked your own case, mother?

Yeah, mother, you really came through.

Yeah, if you hadn't distracted Thomas, while Hannah found that letter

we might never have gotten to the truth.

Huh? Well, Hannah,

I've always suspected that your analytical mind is an inherited trait, honey.

- Oh no. - Oh no.

How is my little ballerina? And I love your ensemble today.

Okay, so, tell me all about you.

Mike.

Hi.

I just wanted to tell you that Johanna turned in the coins.

And Thomas is very grateful.

Wow, that's great.

Hey, um, Hannah.

Turn it around, mother. Let me see.

- Turn the phone. - Shh.

Yeah?

I miss you.

I miss you too.

Can we just start again?

And just take things day by day.

You know, you and me being...

Us?

Yeah.

What do you think?

I'm working on a new recipe, Mike.

I could use an impartial judge.

Wow.

I mean, I'm your guy.

Yes.

Mistakes will be made.

Souffles fall, cakes burn, custards break.

But some recipes are always worth another try.

Hmm.

So it's part eclair, part danish. Kind of a profiterole thing.

What do you think?

Give me a minute. These things can't be rushed.

- Honestly? - Yeah.

Incredible.

Thanks.

It's the truth.

- I'm gonna eat one more piece... - Yeah, please, help yourself. Enjoy it.

- Oh, Mike, I've been meaning to show you. - Mm-hmm.

Look who loves his new house.

- He is so happy. - I know, that's...

That's actually him looking interested when I come over. He's adorable.

He knows that you need him.
