[suspenseful music playing]

[twig snaps]

- Mom.
- Olive.

I really don't think the kids are
gonna like gruyere biscuits.

Oh... You're going on a field trip
to the mountains,

and I promised Mr. Bowman
that I would provide an appropriate snack.

I'm pretty sure he meant trail mix.

Gruyere is an Alpine cheese.

And we're going to the Rockies.

And Mr. Bowman's not even coming.
He says he's needed at that.

Right. So am I.
Okay, so I think they're gonna love them.

Yes, and you're gonna have the best time.

[upbeat music playing]

I love you.
You're gonna have a great time.

- Bye.
- Bye.

[gasps] Kill me now.

That is the chocolate-covered shortbread
I have read about.

- Hi, Laura!
- [laughs]

Hi, honey.

Or do I need to call you Dr. Smiley
on school grounds?

Ah, call me excited for your feast.

Oh, you're gonna be here!

Barring a student in need
of emergency counseling, I will be here.

Aw.

Well, that makes me very happy

because I would not have this job

if it weren't
for you pitching me to Adele.

Oh, I'd love to take the credit,

but when I went to Adele
to sing your praises,

they'd already been sung quite well
by another faculty member.

Any guesses as to who?

- Brad Bowman?
- Hmm, gold star for Goldy.

- Has he asked you out yet?
- No. He's Olive's teacher.

There is no policy
against faculty-parent relationships.

Did you come in here
to make me go on a date?

No.

Actually, I wanted to talk to you
about something that I've noticed.

- [Brad] Goldy.
- There's been...

Oh, hi, Laura.

Hi, Brad.

It's funny, we were just talking...

About when people were gonna arrive.

Oh. Uh, well, that would be now.
They're gathering out front.

Sending the menu in advance
was clearly a brilliant move.

Yes, it was.

So are we good to open the doors?

- Absolutely.
- I'll handle it.

Oh, I thought you, um, wanted to talk.

Later.

I was wondering...

When I was gonna finish these cookies?
Well, the answer is now.

Yeah.

[upbeat music playing]

Oh. Hi. Hi. Um...

Hi.

I'm sorry about that.

Oh, uh, no worries.

I'm just gonna say it, okay?

Okay.

I haven't been on a date since my divorce,

which technically means
I haven't been on a date

- since before I was married.
- Right.

And it's easy to say
that I just haven't had time

between Olive and being a chef
at The Bistro

and starting my own business,
but the truth is,

um...

I am terrified...

to even think about it.

I understand.

You are very understanding.

I'm a teacher.

So...

Friday night, The Bistro...

I go on my first date

in 12 years.

Uh...

- With you. [laughs]
- Okay.

If you're, uh, free.

I am.

- I'll meet you at 7.
- Sounds good.

- Whew.
- Whew.

[Adele] There she is.

And there he is.

Hey, Adele, Archie.

- Excuse me.
- Okay.

Goldy, confession.

Brad did have to twist my arm
to convince me

to use the booster club
as the beta test for your business.

But look who's smiling now.

Oh, I certainly am.

It's like I'm sitting at Café du Monde
in the French Quarter.

Yes, I had to stop Archie
from going back for second beignets.

Anyways, everything looks
absolutely gorgeous.

It's like you've been doing this for eons.

Thank you.

And thank you so much
for this opportunity.

I really appreciate it.

And you know what?

We have reserved beignets in the kitchen.

Oh, be still my heart.

All right, you.

Mmm.

[footsteps approaching]

Mm!

[Goldy] Marla!

That is exactly what
these shortbreads said when I walked in.

They went, "Marla!"

They called my name,
and now we're in love.

Well, as long as the beignets
weren't talking to you.

Archie Dennison is already
in a committed relationship with them.

Oh, I wonder if Adele knows.

Maybe she'll catch him in the act
with the beignets.

Stop it. She didn't catch anyone.

Oh, that's not the story Adele tells.

I have told you, there is nothing going on
between Archie and Laura.

Yeah, you did tell me that,

just like you told me
you and Richard weren't splitting up.

Oh! Hey, now! Going for the jugular.

No, not at all. I'm going for the truth.

He's here, by the way.

- Who?
- Your ex.

Yeah, he's cornered Brad Bowman.

- Might wanna go save Brad.
- Ugh.

There's not enough shortbread
in this room.

Not only is it a great investment,

but it's also great for the community.

I know that means a lot to you,
being a fourth-generation Elk Parker.

Wow, how did you know...?

Trust me, I do lots of research
on potential investors.

Well, I'm not sure I'm that...

Brad, I am.

You are what?

Ah, Goldy, hello.

Uh, nicely done, by the way.
I should never have doubted you.

Well, if you hadn't doubted me,

then I might not have been
so impelled to prove you wrong.

You were what?

Confident that Mr. Bowman here will invest

in a tremendous new opportunity
that will be a boon for the town.

The Elk Park Wellness Center.

What?

Yeah. I mean, you're not the only one
that can start a new business.

Forgive me, Dr. Korman.
I see a parent in distress.

Brad, yeah, thank you. I'll be in touch.

Oh, come on.

You don't have to worry
about your child support.

I'm not, I'm not.

But how much are you putting
into this thing?

I'm a minority investor.

- Come on, you and Olive will be fine.
- I'm not worried about that.

Look, my new business is just me doing
what I've always done, cooking.

Since when are you a property developer?

I'm a doctor, and the property happens
to be the wellness center.

Well, if you're hitting up schoolteachers
for an investment, I can tell you now...

I'm hitting up schoolteachers
who happen to be worth

over $5 million,
thank you to their family's silver mine.

And I'm not the only investor.

Who?

Well, um...

Archie, for one.

That doesn't make me feel better.

[scoffs]

And the other one is about
to make his way over.

Owen Gentle?

- Dr. Gentle.
- I know he's a doctor.

- Goldy.
- Hi.

The meal is sublime.

- Aw.
- I confess to inhaling my poached salmon.

[Owen laughs]

Well, I must confess
that my supplier was short

and it's actually steelhead trout.

And yet the advanced menu said salmon,
so my tongue tasted salmon.

[chuckles] Power of suggestion
at work, eh, Richard?

- [Richard] Absolutely.
- Power of suggestion?

Oh, I, uh, use it all the time
in my hypnotherapy

to treat serious addictions.

Hmph.

Oh, and speaking of treating addictions,

I was just telling Goldy
about our venture,

- and she was...
- Confused.

But so happy that you're a part of it.

I'm happy too.

Well, I have to get back to work.

- [Owen] Great job.
- Thank you. Enjoy.

Right? [chuckles]

Oh! There we go.
Sorry. It's okay. [chuckles]

Okay, that's all right. No, it's all good.

Okay, no, it's fine.

- It's the middle of the afternoon.
- I didn't bring the champagne!

Hey, I got it, I got it, I got it.

It's not a party
until someone breaks a glass. [chuckles]

I'm sorry, but, um,
I think we need to leave.

And would it be okay
if I brought you your check tomorrow?

Oh, of course, yeah. Yep.

- You okay?
- Yeah.

Okay.

Well, that was well handled.

Well, cleaning up that glass
is a lot easier

than fixing what's broken
in that relationship.

Uh, can we still talk?

Yeah, go for it.

Somewhere else.

Do you want me to meet you
at your office when I'm done?

I'm heading out.

- Counseling clinic?
- Would my house be okay?

- Yeah.
- You can meet me there?

- Yeah.
- Okay.

- I'll see you there.
- Okay.

[mysterious music playing]

Excuse me. Can I help you?

- Julian.
- Hey, Mr. Bowman.

Hey.

Uh, your mom and Archie,
they left a while ago.

Yeah, no, I'm actually not here for them.

Okay. Well, can I help you with something?

No, I'm just waiting on someone.

Okay.

Well, uh, it's good to see you, Julian.

Yeah, you too, Mr. Bowman.

[inaudible dialogue]

[woman on radio] We've got your usual
Elk Park drive-time traffic report.

Now, we are getting some reports in
of an accident

on Copper Canyon Road that could
really slow things down tonight,

so please drive accordingly.

[Goldy sighs]

Call Laura Smiley.

[line rings over speaker]

[over speaker] Hi, it's Laura.
You know what to do.

- [machine beeps]
- Hey, it's me. Um...

There's been an accident. I'm so sorry.

I just... I don't know how long
this is gonna take,

but I guess I'll see you when I see you.

Hey, Mason!

What's going on?

- Hey, Goldy.
- Hey.

- Car ran off the cliff.
- What?

Is it someone from Elk Park?

Listen, before we announce a death,
we need to confirm ID, notify the family.

[man over radio]
Vehicle registered to one Laura Smiley.

What?

No, no, no.

Goldy, you can't go in there!
Goldy, you can't go down there!

Ma'am, get back, get back.
There's already one body down there.

- What?
- Mason.

[Goldy] She's dead?

- Laura's dead?
- [Mason] Laura's her friend.

She heard the dispatcher give
the ID on my walkie.

No, no, no. I was... I was just with her.

Ms. Berry, she's gone.

- Okay? There's nothing you can do.
- No.

Mason's gonna take care of you.
I'll be by in a minute.

[dramatic music playing]

Detective Shultz is gonna talk
to you now. He's, um...

He can come on kind of strong sometimes,

but he's a great guy and,
you know, a real detective.

I just mean he's super experienced.
He just transferred from San Francisco,

and he's worked on major cases,
and he's got this wa...

Mason.

- He's right behind me, isn't he?
- Yup.

Uh, detective, I was just explaining
that you've worked on a lot of...

Major cases?

Yeah.

Thanks, Mason.

Mason. Notepad.

I have my notepad.

You have to take notes too, okay?

It's good to have
more than one perspective.

[Mason] Yes, sir.

[Shultz] Ms. Berry,

I'm Detective Tom Shultz.

I'm sorry for your loss.

I know this is the last thing
you wanna be doing,

but I have to ask you some questions
about your friend, okay?

Okay.

So how long have you known Ms. Smiley?

Dr. Smiley, actually.

She's a... Um...

Was.

She was a psychiatrist.

And how long have you known Dr. Smiley?

[Goldy] Uh...

When she first moved to town
about four years ago.

Um, she was a counselor at
my daughter Olive's school, Elk Park Prep.

But she's only been doing that
for like a year.

She... has a private practice, and, um...

Olive was a client of hers
when my marriage was coming apart.

Was she married?

No.

Children?

You said you saw her this afternoon.
Where was that?

Uh, at the luncheon, the booster club.

I was, uh, catering.

Was there alcohol at the lunch?

Mimosas. I'm sure
that Laura didn't have any.

It was just mostly for parents,
you know, the big donors.

She have a heart condition?

- No.
- Her health, as far as you know?

She was a skier, a runner, a hiker.

- Was she depressed?
- No.

That was a quick no.

Why are you asking me all this?

There's no skid marks.

No signs that Dr. Smiley tried to stop.

We'll know more
when we've done the autopsy, but for now,

we're treating this as a suspicious death.

[dramatic music playing]

[doorbell rings]

[exhales]

Hi.

Hi.

Did you figure out the, um...?

- Cause of death?
- Yeah.

Can I come in?

Sure, yes. Please.

So, uh, when is the autopsy done?

Well, in a different-sized city, not long,

but Furman County has a medical examiner

that happens to be
at a conference in Florida,

and she's not back for a couple more days.

So then what happens?

Forensics is processing her car,

and they've confirmed
that there was nothing done to disable it.

What, it...?

Are you saying that you think
that someone might have...? What?

No, I'm saying what I already said.
Her death is suspicious.

And it's my job
to look at every possibility.

[dramatic music playing]

You mind if I ask you
a few more questions?

Okay if I keep cooking?

Sure.

So, um, Laura's license,
it had a Denver address on it.

She kept her condo. Uses it as an Airbnb.

So she's not married. She seeing anyone?

No.

Why the hesitation?

There's... There's just
this ugly rumor going around

that she's having an affair
with a married man,

but it's not true,

and Laura swore it wasn't.

- Okay, well, who was it?
- Archie Dennison.

His wife's Adele.

Does Adele know about this gossip?

As far as I know, she probably started it.

Would you like me
to give you a tour of my house?

No, I'm fine.

How long have, uh, Dr. Smiley
and Mr. Dennison been...?

Look, hey. They haven't been anything.

I just told you that.

How long have Dr. Smiley and
Mr. Dennison been allegedly involved?

I heard the rumor...

a few days ago.

Were Archie and Adele
at the booster-club luncheon?

Yes, they both were because Adele is
the president of the boosters.

Anything happen there
between the Dennisons and Dr. Smiley?

What?

Archie had a few too many mimosas,
and he's a flirt, but not with Laura,

and Adele and Archie left
hours before it was even over.

What do they do, Archie and Adele?

Well, Adele is rich,
and Archie is married to Adele,

but apparently he is now...

partnered up with my ex-husband
to help build a wellness center.

You have something
against wellness centers?

Not at all, no.

I just would never expect
for either one of them

to be involved with one.

Gotcha.

Well, thanks for the coffee.

Look, I'm sorry.
I'm just usually not, um...

Dealing with the death of a dear friend

while talking to a detective
in your kitchen?

Pretty much.

I'll let you get back to your cooking.

Uh, listen.

This probably doesn't mean anything,

but at the luncheon...

Laura asked to talk to me,
and she wanted to talk in private.

That's why I was
on the Canyon Road tonight.

I was going to see her.

And you have no idea what it was about?

I'll see myself out.

[mysterious music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

Mr. Bowman?

Do you know about...?

Dr. Smiley?

I do.

And we're gonna make a lot of space
today in class to talk about it.

Go on in, kiddo.

How are you?

- A mess.
- I bet.

Listen, uh...

we can take a rain check
this Friday at The Bistro.

No, I, uh...

I actually think it'll be good.

And I'm looking forward to it.

Me too.

Take care of her.

I will.

[suspenseful music playing]

[knocking]

Excuse me. Goldy?

Hi.

Oh.

You must have heard.

It's, um...

It's devastating.

[sighs] So, so tragic.

I... The police called this morning.

I just... I...

I can't believe it.

I know. Oh, I know.

Oh, I'm so sorry.

Goldy, please let me know
if I can help in any way with the funeral.

That's so nice. Thank you.

[Shultz] Dr. Gentle?

Dr. Gentle?

Yes.

Detective Tom Shultz.

- We spoke earlier.
- Owen Gentle.

My condolences.

Thank you.

Ms. Berry, what are you doing here?

I... I just came by to make sure
that Owen had heard the news.

Well, I told you
not to touch anything in her office.

And I heeded your wishes.

So, what were you doing in there?

- Uh...
- Actually, I was in the office.

Okay.

Well, I need to speak to you,

but I have to talk to you first,
Dr. Gentle.

- I need to get to work.
- That wasn't a request.

- You have somewhere we can talk?
- [Owen] Uh, of course.

My office is right over here.

Have a seat.

- Look, I don't...
- Come with me.

What were you doing
in Dr. Smiley's office?

I was...

- What does that mean?
- It's a pretty direct question.

I wasn't doing anything.

I was only in there for 30 seconds
before Owen came in.

Unfortunately, we don't have
security cameras to prove that, do we?

What are you implying?

I think your behavior is suspicious.

- [scoffs] Suspicious?
- Yes, it's suspicious.

So answer my question.
What are you doing here?

I was dropping Olive off at school

when I saw Adele coming
out of Laura's counseling office.

Adele didn't see me,
but why would she be in there?

I went to open the door,
but it was locked...

Why didn't you call me, Ms. Berry?

- Well, next time I will.
- Good.

You being here,
did you find out more about Laura's death?

Did you bake chocolate-covered cookies
for the luncheon?

Chocolate-coated shortbread.

We recovered chocolate-covered shortbread
from the front seat of Dr. Smiley's car.

Well, she probably just took some to go.

Why are you asking me this?

Yeah, well,
we're still processing her office.

But if you hear or see
or even think of anything else,

you call me.

Of course.

Good.

One more thing.

You know Julian Geddes?

- That's Adele's son.
- From her first husband.

- Right.
- Yeah.

Did Laura mention anything
to you about him?

Why would Laura talk to me about Julian?

Why would she?

[suspenseful music playing]

- Ah!
- Hey.

- Well, this is kismet.
- What is?

I was just coming to find you.

I, um... I actually had a question.

Did you ever teach a Julian Geddes?

- That's weird.
- Why?

Well, Julian was a junior
my first year here,

but what's weird is
that I saw him yesterday.

Where?

There. I was on my way
from the dining hall after the luncheon

and saw him pacing around the parking lot.

And you... You recognized him?

Not at first, no.

I just saw a man lurking around the school
parking lot with a hoodie on, so...

- Hmm.
- Yeah. Said he was waiting for someone.

Can you show me
where exactly he was pacing?

Yeah.

I was there. Uh...

He was...

He was probably here.

Yeah.

Why? Is...?

Is he in trouble or...?
Is everything okay?

[Goldy sighs]

[Brad] That's...

Suspicious.

Yeah.

[intercom buzzes]

- [Adele over intercom] Hello?
- Adele? It's Goldy Berry.

- Hi.
- Hi.

You found the place?

I did, yes.

You'll have to forgive me. [sighs]

My mind has been
in a million different directions.

Ah, I know the feeling.

I'm sure you do.

That meal yesterday? My goodness.

I mean, I can barely manage
not to burn toast.

Oh. I don't believe that.

Well, you don't know me.

Did I see your son at school yesterday?

- Julian?
- Yeah.

I can't imagine he'd be back
at his alma mater.

And he lives here now with you, right?

In the guest quarters, for now.

Hmm.

Why do you ask?

Oh, um...

I'm always on the lookout
for potential cater waiters.

Well, I will...

pass that along.

- Here you are.
- Thank you so much.

[drawer closes]

Goldy.

I heard about Laura Smiley,

and I know the two of you were friends,
and I am so sorry.

Thank you.

I mean, I can't understand why the police
are calling her death suspicious.

Haven't they heard the cliché:

"Doctors are the last people
to seek help"?

Well, I don't know
that we should be making assumptions.

What else could it be?

I think that she was more fragile
than she let on.

Working those two terribly draining jobs?

Is it any surprise she literally ends up
driving herself to death?

Well, I, um...

I realize that you...

probably weren't the president
of her fan club.

[dramatic music playing]

- You heard the rumors.
- I did.

And Laura assured me
that there is no truth to them.

Goldy...

I saw her.

I saw her sneaking out of here
late at night.

When?

About a week ago.

I was in Denver at the opera,

and I had a headache,
so I came home early.

And my husband claims
that he didn't even know she was here.

Oh, Adele, I'm so sorry.

My father warned me:

"Never marry a handsome man,"
and I married two.

I never met your first husband.

Uh, he was gone before
Julian and I came back to Elk Park.

"Gone" as in...?

[intercom buzzes]

There's someone at the gate.
Would you excuse me?

Of course, yeah.

Ms. Berry. You gonna tell me
this is a coincidence?

- I was just...
- [Adele] Detective?

I've just been advised
by my husband not to speak to you.

Seriously?

I wouldn't joke about legal matters.

Look, I just...
I just wanna ask you a couple questions.

You're perfectly welcome to do that.

I'll have my attorney contact you
and schedule a meeting.

Goldy, thank you so much.

No worries.

What are you doing here?

- Getting paid for yesterday.
- Oh, yeah, really.

No, seriously. Look. See?

So you're telling me you didn't come here

because of what you told me
you saw her doing?

I will tell you that,
and I will tell you more.

Just not here.

Fine.

Follow me.

[suspenseful music playing]

[indistinct chatter]

As you can see, a lot you don't know about
goes into solving a crime,

which is why I need you
to stop trying to do my job for me.

I'm not trying to do your job.

I care about Laura
and about what happened to her.

And I know this community.

What did you wanna tell me?

So after you mentioned Julian to me,
I went to ask a friend about him, and...

You told somebody
I was looking into Julian?

Oh, give me some credit, detective, no.

I just asked a friend...

- Name?
- Brad Bowman. He's a teacher.

Teaches history and was at the luncheon.

Yeah, give me some credit, Ms. Berry.

Well, I asked Brad
if he had ever taught Julian,

but he said that he actually saw Julian
in the parking lot after the luncheon.

Yeah, I know, I know.
Dr. Gentle saw him there too.

So that's why you asked me about him.

Well...

Brad also said that he asked Julian
what he was doing there,

and he said
that he was waiting on someone,

and he was standing
right in front of Laura's car.

Yeah. Dr. Smiley invited him there.

How do you know that?

'Cause she sent him an e-mail.

What did the e-mail say?

I'm not discussing this with you, okay?

- Okay, okay.
- Yeah.

Thank you very much, Ms. Berry.

There's just one more thing. Um...

I did go to Adele's house
to pick up my check.

But, also,
she has a desk drawer in her office

full of prescription medications,

and she tried to convince me
that Laura took her own life,

and I am pretty sure
that her ex-husband was unfaithful to her.

[sighs] Where did Adele live
before she came back to Elk Park?

Salt Lake.

[keyboard clicking]

Whoa.

"Mr. Geddes' car...

found by hikers."

He drove off a cliff.

Vincent Geddes seems like...

A con artist who married rich
and sponged off his wife?

You know, Adele filed for divorce
a couple months before the crash

and then she rescinded it.

Why?

Well, maybe they made up.

Or maybe she didn't file a prenup.

I bet I could find out from Adele.

And she won't have her lawyers there
when I talk to her.

- Ms. Berry.
- You gotta stop with the Ms. Berry.

It's Goldy.

Okay, Goldy.

You might think
you're in a position to help.

I am in a position to help.

People talk to me. They trust me.
And I've already helped you.

Well, I don't need your help.

- [scoffs]
- [knocking]

Oh, am I interrupting?

- [Shultz] Yes.
- No.

Call me if you need more help.

Good to see you, Mason.

More help with what?

This case.

Oh.

Well, she is very helpful.

Uh, I...

Drop these off.

- Hey, Mar.
- [Marla] Hey, Goldy.

I am so sorry about Laura.

Yeah, it's awful.

I'll swing by her house to make sure
everything's okay. You know?

Trying to stay proactive.

Hmm. Well, speaking of proactive,

I was talking to Archie Dennison.

Yes, I cleaned up the glass, remember?

No, just now.

Actually, we had lunch.

Marla, he is after you.

Well, and I'm after a job.

So I know that we were both invited
to Adele's birthday,

but how would you like to work it?

Seriously?

[chuckles] Yeah, Archie had
a different caterer and florist set up.

He was so wowed with the luncheon
that I convinced him to go with us.

Now, I know it's coming up fast

and you'll have to spend more time
at their house, but...

I'll take it.

Oh, that was easy.

Shall we make a plan over dinner,
chez you?

As long as you bring me flowers.

Of course. I'll see you tonight.

[chuckles] Bye.

[suspenseful music playing]

[footsteps overhead]

[ominous music playing]

[cupboard door slams]

- [line rings]
- [cell phone ringing]

[whispering] Pick up, come on.
Pick up, pick up, pick up.

- [Shultz] Goldy. What?
- I'm in Laura's house.

And somebody else is
in the house, upstairs.

- What are you doing?
- And I'm hiding in the closet.

Stay there and stay hidden.

- I'm on the way.
- They're banging around.

I think they're looking for something.

I can't see.
If I could just get a little closer.

Stay there and don't hang up.

Okay, okay.

Hey! We need a patrol car
to Laura Smiley's house right now.

Sirens and lights.

Yeah, we're coming.

Okay.

[sirens wailing]

We're rolling. Stay put.

[sirens wailing in distance]

[footsteps retreating]

They're leaving.

We're almost there.

Okay.

Better?

Thank you, yeah.

[Goldy clears throat]

[Shultz] Well, you were definitely
trespassing this time.

You gonna arrest me?

Don't tempt me.

- Did they take anything?
- No, no, nothing important.

We'd already been here yesterday
and took all of her files.

- Her laptop?
- At the station.

I wanna show you something.

I promise, that key was not there
when I got here.

Well, you know what that means.

Whoever broke in the house knew
that there was a key under there.

I knew because I water her plants
when she's out of town.

And you haven't told anybody else?

No. No.

[Richard] Ah, there she is.

Tell her how many goals you scored?

- Yeah.
- You gonna brag?

- Maybe.
- [laughs]

Sorry, sorry, sorry, ugh.

Ah, that's okay.

I was just in surgery
and handed over the scalpel.

He's kidding, Mom.

We were five minutes away
when you texted him.

- Guys.
- [Richard chuckles]

We were with Owen.
We were scouting the wellness-center site.

Wow. You guys have land already.

Yeah, Goldy, I told you,
we're serious about this.

Well, thanks for being here.

Ah, don't worry about it.
You've got a lot going on.

[Goldy] You have no idea.

And I just got a new gig.

- Adele Dennison's birthday party.
- Wow.

Means I am already a week behind.

[chuckles] Okay, I'll tell you what.

What would you think about
staying at Dad's house tonight?

- Can we order Vietnamese?
- Anything you want.

- Ah, you don't have to.
- No, I know, but I want to.

Go on. Give your mom a hug.
Let's head out.

[Marla] Well, as lousy
as he was as a husband,

Richard is really coming through as a dad.

Well, Olive has this magical power

of making him forget his gigantic ego.

Well, he could've used Olive
at the luncheon.

He can really go off on people.

- Don't ever let him do that to you.
- Oh, I am not talking about me.

Who?

Okay, don't get upset, but toward the end
I was taking out some trash,

and I saw him and Laura arguing.

About what?

I don't know. I was too far away to hear.

Hmm.

All right. All right, ready?

Yes, please.

Oh, my goodness.

What is in this?

- Guess.
- Okay, well, um...

Tomatoes, obviously.

- [laughing]
- [doorbell rings]

- Oh, I'll get it.
- Okay.

Mmm.

[Goldy] Detective.

Did you come to arrest me?

I'm beginning
to think you wanna be arrested.

I came to tell you
that I got the medical examiner

to come back a day early.

Autopsy's gonna be done tomorrow.

Okay.

Goldy.

You gonna introduce me?

Um, this is Detective Tom Shultz.

Tom, this is my friend Marla.

Um, Marla McGuire.

You did the flowers for the luncheon.

I did.

Did you wanna question me or...?

Marla and I are working
on a party for Saturday

for Adele Dennison.

Oh, you should come.

You know what? I should come.

- But she'll never invite me.
- Tsk. Oh.

I'll let you two get back
to what you were doing.

- Nice to meet you.
- You too.

Good night, detective.

Okay. [clears throat]

- [scoffs]
- Um...

When were you gonna tell me
about this cute detective

that has a crush on you?

He does not.
I'm helping him with something.

Uh-huh.

I am, and it would be weird
and unprofessional,

and besides,
I'm going out with Brad Bowman.

Oh. And you don't think that's weird?

Because he's Olive's teacher?

Because of him and Laura.

Him and Laura what?

He's Laura's ex. She didn't tell you that?

[dramatic music playing]

No.

And neither did he.

[Shultz] How does Marla know this?

She said Laura told her years ago
when she first moved to town.

- And Laura never told you?
- Nope.

- Maybe it wasn't a big deal to Laura.
- You know what? Maybe... I don't know.

Maybe I could do
some more digging tomorrow night.

Tomorrow night?
What do you have tomorrow night?

Brad and I are having dinner.

Oh.

Unless you think it's a bad idea.

No, I don't think that's a bad idea.

[Shultz clears throat]

Where's this dinner taking place?

The Bistro.

You know it?

Yeah. Yeah, yup, heard of it.

Hey. Maybe you could be there too.

I don't think Brad wants me
at your dinner.

No, not with us.

You know, just in case
he tells me something

and I have to tell you something or...

something.

[lighthearted music playing]

Yeah, okay.

But you know, um, I should bring a date.

- Oh.
- Mason.

- I'm taking you to dinner tomorrow night.
- Me?

- Hi.
- Hi.

I have to tell you, I was over the moon

when I found out
Archie had this inspired notion

to get you to handle the event.

Ah, me too. Although I was looking forward
to getting dressed up to attend.

You'll still be attending.

No, no, no, I'll be working.

You'll be working in a dual capacity,

so you can get dressed up
and bring a plus-one.

You're the boss.

Literally.

So how can I help you?

I have the guest list.

I just need to scout,
make a detailed plan.

I won't trouble you
unless I have any questions.

Sounds like we're in excellent hands.

I'll let you get to it.

Thank you.

Hello?

[mysterious music playing]

- Hi.
- Oh!

Archie!

Oh, you startled me.

Whoops. Sorry.

Oh, it's... It's okay.

Um... Do you, uh, know if this oven works?

Well, we'd get it fixed

if the current tenant would do
any cooking.

Oh. Is this where your stepson is staying?

Oh. It's okay.

I think this will work better

for a staging area for my crew.

Do you think Julian will mind?

Maybe I can use it
as an excuse to evict him.

Yes, I know, I'm awful.

I should be grateful to Julian.

His troubles are what inspired me
to build the wellness center.

Oh, I guess I thought Richard had...

No, no.
I wanted to bring in medical partners.

- Mm.
- As I told Owen, it's my vision.

A state-of-the-art treatment facility

for anyone battling
the illness of addiction.

- Like the Betty Ford Center.
- Exactly.

We'll have capacity for 100 residents.

Wow. That's amazing.

So I'm assuming, then,
that Julian will be at the party.

Who knows? He's as reliable as the wind.

Adele's been trying to reach him for days.
No answer.

[cell phone buzzing]

And speak of the wife.

Hello, darling. Just helping Goldy.

On my way.

Excuse me.

Do you mind? It's a bit warm in here.

Not at all.

Ms. Langsam. Detective Tom Shultz.

- Sarah's fine.
- And this is my husband.

Archie Dennison.

This is Deputy Kildea.

Mason.

Uh, my first name, Mason.

I thought we were all saying
our first names. Sorry.

- [Shultz] Mind if we take a seat?
- [Adele] Please.

[Shultz] Thank you for seeing us today.

As I said on the phone,
we're viewing this as a suspicious death.

I'm not sure what's suspicious about it.

She was a deeply troubled woman
who decided to end it all.

What makes you say that?

Well, isn't it obvious?

Can you be more specific?

Uh... I didn't know her terribly well.

You knew her well enough
to diagnose her mental state.

Detective.

How well did you know her, Mr. Dennison?

Only socially.

'Cause, um, a week ago, Mrs. Dennison,

didn't you see Dr. Smiley
leaving here late at night?

[Sarah] Do you have an eyewitness to that?

Mrs. Dennison told several people.

[Sarah] So no eyewitness.

I'd consider it idle gossip not worthy
of your taxpayer-funded time.

Well, gossip starts somewhere, right?

And I'm afraid it started with me.

- [Sarah] Adele.
- [Adele] I...

I imagined an affair.

Did you imagine the same thing
with your first husband?

Vincent?

I'd love to speak to Vincent...

but that's not possible.

I'm not sure what Adele's prior marriage
has to do with any of this.

You haven't told your attorney, Adele?

Vincent Geddes was killed
in a car accident.

The kind where the car falls off a cliff.

- [Sarah] This interview's over.
- Hold on a second, okay?

Detective, my clients have
nothing further to say.

So unless they're under arrest,
I'll show you both out.

- We'll be in touch.
- You have my number.

- He was accusing you...
- Yes, of killing Vincent.

Archie, I figured that out.

And of killing Laura.

[tense music playing]

My darling Archie,

what possible motive would I have
for killing Laura?

You told me there was nothing
between the two of you.

There wasn't.

But...

hypothetically,

if I did discover that you lied,

then I guess
I would just simply divorce you,

as per our prenuptial agreement.

All that money...

gone.

And that is a lot of money to lose.

That would be a perfect motive
for you to keep Laura quiet, wouldn't it?

Take this, will you?

I'm heading to book club.

[Adele on recording]
I'm heading to book club.

[footsteps retreating on recording]

- [glass shatters on recording]
- He threw his glass?

He threw his glass,
and it was nice crystal.

Well, I mean, Adele did it, right?

- Deputy.
- But the way Archie lost it, maybe he did.

- Mason.
- [Mason] What happened to Julian?

- Maybe he's dead too.
- [Shultz] Mason.

Sorry, I got excited.

Never been part
of a homicide investigation.

You still might not be
when we're waiting on the autopsy.

Oh. Yeah. Sure.

But you said it was a suspicious death,

and now it's really suspicious
with these two.

Yeah, now they won't talk to me.

Why don't you come to Adele's
birthday party with me as my plus-one?

- Could he do that?
- Yeah, could I do that?

The invitation said "you and a guest."

Do I have to wear a tux?

Fresh tie will do.

Anyway.

I have to go talk to my daughter's father.

She's divorced.

That's why she said it like that.

I know that.

I think it looks nice.

[indistinct chatter]

[knocking on door]

Enter.

Uh-oh.

Am I in trouble?

Now, why would you assume that?

[Goldy chuckles]

Skier?

No, snowboarder,
but that was from a car accident.

Oh, no.

He okay?

She, and she will be when I'm done.

Okay, really, though, am I in trouble?

Not trouble, no.

Um...

I just, uh...

Were you and Laura fighting
outside the dining hall

the day of the luncheon?

Wow. Seriously?

I'm just asking a question.

Oh, just like old times,
when you would just ask a question

that sounded a lot more
like an accusation.

This is not about us.

- No?
- No.

Okay, well, um,
I wasn't fighting with Laura.

I was just passionately
conveying an opinion.

Okay. What about?

I was concerned about all the rumors

and gossip about her and Archie

and how it might impact
the wellness center.

I can fix bones in a few hours,

but what Owen does, it takes longer.

He fixes lives.

Did you know
that his mother was an addict?

I didn't.

Yeah, he was gonna be a surgeon,

but when she died,
he switched to psychiatry.

The man is on a mission,
and I'm doing whatever I can

to help him.

As I passionately conveyed to Laura,

more people need access
to what her and Owen actually do.

And... I'm living proof of that.

You're in therapy.

[clears throat] Yeah.

[sentimental music playing]

- Good for you.
- Oh.

Yeah, well,
maybe I should've done it long ago,

like you wanted me to,

and things might have
turned out differently.

Well, how did, uh...?
How did things turn out with Laura?

I didn't get a chance to talk to her.

She got a call from a patient.

Goldy, what is with all the questions?

I'm sorry.

I'm just trying to understand
how my friend...

[sighs] Of course.

Look, I'm sorry.

The one thing that I've learned

from all of this therapy is
that life is like a mystery

and sometimes you just have
to accept that.

[cell phone ringing]

- Shultz.
- Hey, it's Goldy.

My ex-husband did talk to Laura
after the luncheon

before she got in her car and left.

Did he see something?

No. He did say
that she received a call from a patient.

Around what time?

Probably 4-ish.

Hey, you're looking
at incoming calls, right?

What do you need?

Check out a call before the crash,
around 4.

Hey, this number.

It's Julian Geddes' number.

- They talked for just a minute.
- It was Julian.

He probably was calling to tell her
he was coming to the parking lot.

She got another call nine minutes later.
An unlisted number.

This call was for 30 minutes.

- [Shultz] Hang on. Wait.
- What? What's going on?

The distance from the school
to where she crashed, it's...

Tom?

We just figured out
that Laura was on a call

when she went off the cliff.

With who?

That's an excellent question.

[jazz music playing over speakers]

If Goldy's going to ask Brad about
his relationship with Laura,

shouldn't she be wearing a wire?

We're not there yet.

They're here.

I used to have a major crush on Goldy

- when she was my babysitter.
- [Shultz] Really?

She used to bring me delicious treats
she'd cooked in mason jars.

Thought she had the jars
specifically made for me.

I don't have a crush on her anymore,
for the record.

Mm.

She's cool, but, you know...

- Think we'd be a bad fit.
- Uh... Yeah.

Who would date a prep?

Technically, two. Um...

I guess it just feels like one.

[Goldy chuckles]

I have to confess,

I'm a little bit disappointed.

About what?

I knew you were going to Adele's,

and I was really hoping to dance with you.

Well, that can still happen.

Adele made me promise

that I would at least spend
some time as a guest.

They seem to be having a nice time.

Do you think she's into him or, you know,
playing along for the investigation?

You know her better than I do.

[Mason] True.

I think she's playing along.

He reminds me of Richard.

- He doesn't look anything like Richard.
- He's good-looking, slick, well dressed.

And wrong for her.

- Yeah.
- [Goldy chuckles]

Listen, I, um...
I have to ask you an awkward question.

As Olive has heard me say a hundred times,

I have never heard a question
that I didn't appreciate.

Just ask.

Okay.

Is there any truth to the rumor
that you and Laura once dated?

Oh, no. I...

I just asked you a question
you didn't appreciate.

[Brad chuckles]

No, it's just... a pathetic story.

I'll be the judge of that.

Laura and I met in Aspen, skiing.

Cliché, I know, but we really hit it off.

We made it work
for a couple years long distance,

and then she decided
she wanted to move to Elk Park.

She said she just fell in love
with the place,

but... I thought it was more than that,

and I bought a ring.

Which... [chuckles] I returned
a couple days later. [chuckles]

Well, that couldn't have been easy.

No.

I'm sure it was even harder
when she took the school counseling job.

I handled it.

[cell phone chimes]

[Brad sighs]

Now you owe me a painful romance story.

[Goldy] I have one or two
of those stories. [chuckles]

[Brad] Well, ante up.

I definitely will.

I'll be back.

[indistinct chatter]

[suspenseful music playing]

What's going on?

The autopsy came back.

The crash didn't kill her.

She was poisoned.

The ME said the poison was water hemlock,

which apparently grows
all over the place here.

I'm having Forensics test
the chocolate-covered shortbread

that was in the front seat of her car.

Chocolate is a great masker of flavor.

- Wait a minute, you don't think that...?
- You're the killer?

You've been helping me
in the investigation

because you wanna get caught?

No. Okay?

But there's no question
that there is a killer now.

And hemlock takes 30 minutes
to take effect.

Laura was on the phone with someone

- for 30 minutes.
- Thirty minutes.

Yeah, and since nobody came forward
after her death,

I'm assuming the killer was
on the phone with her...

- To make sure that she died.
- Yeah.

That is awful.

Well, Brad, Brad just admitted to me

that he proposed to Laura
and she turned him down.

I mean, he was trying to joke about it,

but it was clearly still painful to him.

I mean, do you think that he...?

I have to look into it.

God.

You should probably get back
to your dinner.

I've lost my appetite.

[Goldy] I'm so sorry.

- It's Olive. I need to go.
- [Shultz] Okay, let's get out of here.

Olive needs you.
You're just being a great mom.

You still owe me a story.

Tomorrow, while we're dancing.

[Goldy] That sounds great.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Good night.

[suspenseful music playing]

[doorbell rings]

I just... I thought I'd check in on you.

Thank you.

[stammers] I'm actually, um...
doing an impression of you.

So these are for the party tomorrow.

They're not quite as, uh,
visual as your board.

- I like what you're doing here. Yeah.
- Mm-hm.

Well, I'm just trying to figure out

who was at the luncheon
that had access to the shortbread.

All of them?

When it was on the buffet, yes,

but that was in plain sight.

How about before you brought them out?

Well, I was in the kitchen with Brad,

but we were together the entire time.

- But then...
- What?

I just... I went out in the hall,
and when I came back,

Marla was in the kitchen alone
eating the shortbread.

She was the one who told me
about Laura and Brad,

and she was the one that invited me

to do this last-minute gig
after going out with Archie.

Going out?

- On a date?
- I don't know.

They were clearly flirting
at the luncheon.

Wow.

But the thing is,
I've known Marla for years.

There's just no way that she's a killer.

[Shultz] In my experience...

there's always a way...

for any one of us.

It's just a matter of things
coming together in a way...

that makes it happen.

[tense music playing]

Take the appetizers to the staging area.

Thank you.

[gasps]

So beautiful.

You as friendly with Adele Dennison?

As friendly as I need to be.

What about Julian Geddes?

That's Adele's son.

I was his teacher for a couple of years.

[Shultz] How's he doing now?

I'm sorry, but that would be violating
doctor-patient privileges.

[band playing classical music]

[indistinct chatter]

[Owen] Mmm. Excuse me.

- I'll see you later.
- Wow. Goldy.

- Yeah?
- We're only on the appetizers,

and it's already magnificent.

Thank you. I appreciate that.

However, I have been instructed
by the hostess

to ask you to shed your outerwear.

Okay. She's the boss.

I'll go stow this.

Let me. I can take it for you.

- Really?
- I actually have to use the restroom.

[Goldy] Oh, thank you. Thanks.

[sighs] Goldy, you look...

Oh, my.

You struck Richard dumb, Goldy.
Is there anything you can't do?

I don't know, I'm sure
Richard can think of a few things.

Oh, yeah, you two are hilarious.

Owen, the O'Connors would love
to hear more

about the wellness center. Can you...?

- Oh. Duty calls.
- Have fun.

[suspenseful music playing]

[grunts]

[man] Don't scream.

It's me.

I didn't wanna scare you.

- [whispering] Well, you failed.
- [whispering] I'm sorry.

And first off,
what are you doing without gloves?

Put these on, okay?

You wanna be a detective,
you gotta get better at sneaking around.

This is Adele's desk.

[suspenseful music playing]

Look.

Clonazepam.

Isn't that for seizures?

I worked with a chef who had them.

- Well, they're also for anxiety.
- Hmm.

[pills rattle]

Looks like he hasn't taken them in months.

[Shultz] "Stay away from my husband
or I will end things for you here."

Maybe she was talking about
getting Laura fired from school?

Yeah, maybe.

Don't you wanna take that?

Not until I come back
with a search warrant.

[Goldy] Oh, yeah. Yes.

I was, um, starting to think
that you weren't gonna make it.

Needed to buy a fresh tie.

You did good.

[band playing classical music]

Wow.

You are good at what you do.

So are you.

You know, I've been meaning to ask you...

What are you doing here?

In Elk Park, I mean.

That's a...

That's a funny story, actually.

My ex-wife is from here.

- Ex-wife.
- Yup.

Yeah, she was always talking
about how much she missed it,

especially when we were
going through a rough patch,

which was a good description
of all three years

of our marriage.

[Goldy chuckles]

Anyway, I saw this job listed,
and I thought,

you know, maybe that'll be the thing
to save our marriage.

She served me with the divorce papers

the same day the job offer came through.

But you came anyway.

Yeah, San Francisco just wasn't the same.

And I needed a break from all the crime.

What was her name?

Jessamine.

Jessamine?

Jessamine Cole?

- You know her?
- Since kindergarten.

I'm surprised you lasted three years.

Ladies and gentlemen,
will you please head this way?

Dinner will be served shortly.

[mysterious music playing]

[cabinet door slams]

[Goldy] Owen.

Goldy.

What are you doing?

Hoping not to find something.

I don't understand.

My patient Julian Geddes
lives here, and, uh...

What?

I'm afraid Julian has, uh,
developed an unhealthy fixation.

An obsessive attraction, really,
to a mutual friend of ours.

To Laura?

She obviously didn't tell you.

Probably trying to protect him, I'm sure.

But my concern was
that he might have somehow...

Do you know
that Julian's father was killed

the same way, driving off a cliff?

I did, actually.

I was praying that...

That's water hemlock.

The police said it was in the shortbread
that Laura ate before she died.

Your shortbread?

Same recipe, minus the poison.

I posted the menu online
a week before the luncheon.

Goldy, Julian was in the parking lot
with Laura that day before she left.

- Do you think...?
- What I think...

is that the person who planted
the hemlock in the drawer...

should've gone to the trouble
to look in Julian's kitchen.

Do you, uh, know if this oven works?

We'd get it fixed

if the current tenant ever did
any cooking.

[Goldy] Julian couldn't bake shortbread...

but I bet your oven works just fine.

[stammers]

Hang on. You...

You think that I...?

Planted the hemlock in the drawer
before I walked in?

Yeah, I do.

But I'm not a detective, so...

maybe I'm wrong.

- I'm gonna run it by Detective Shultz.
- Wait.

- Goldy!
- What?

Owen!

[cell phone ringing]

- You at the station?
- No, we're coming to you.

- [siren wailing]
- Mason, we're about to have dinner.

We're watching Julian's
surveillance camera. Goldy's in trouble!

He's taking her into the forest.

Go on, deeper into the woods, hurry.

- Okay, just...
- Come on.

Just let me take my heels off, okay?

- What?
- I can't walk in them.

[suspenseful music playing]

Goldy!

Goldy!

Goldy!

Goldy!

Goldy!

Hey.

- Your head. Are you okay?
- Yeah.

It's... It's Owen.

He killed Laura,
and he's trying to frame Julian.

[Shultz] Owen, put the gun down.

Owen. Owen, look at me, look at me.

You knew.

- Hey, Laura.
- Hi.

Here. For you.

What is this?

I don't know. Goldy just...

[Goldy] You knew
if she started eating right away

that the hemlock would hit
as she was driving up the mountain.

And you stayed on the phone with her

just to make sure
that your plan would work.

- You should've stayed out of it, Goldy.
- Stayed out of what?

- I'm trying to help people!
- You killed Laura!

No, you don't under...
You don't understand.

Don't you see?

The wellness center can help
treat people with addiction.

Oh, I use it all the time
in my hypnotherapy

to treat serious addiction.

Modify behavior, help people break
through limitations in their thinking.

The power of suggestion.

What if Julian was the inspiration
to build a wellness center?

His troubles gave me the inspiration
to build the wellness center.

And what about Julian?

You were supposed to help him.

Julian, tell your mother
that the wellness center

is a wonderful investment
and to give Archie the money.

[Shultz] But Julian realized
what he was trying to do.

Because he stopped taking his medications.

You both think
you're so clever, don't you?

It wasn't Archie
that Laura was gonna see that night.

It was Julian,
and he told her what you did.

And Laura made a complaint
to the state medical board.

How did you know that?

You know
the state of Colorado has strict laws

against the misuse of hypnotherapy?

- You're probably gonna lose your license.
- Answer me!

How did you know that?!

So, what's your next move?

You gonna shoot us both?

Put it on Julian?

The thing you don't know is
that Julian has an alibi right now.

For the past hour,
he's been with Deputy Kildea.

No. No.

No, you're... You're bluffing.

Just like you bluffed Julian

when you sent him that e-mail
from Laura's work computer.

You needed people to see Julian
in the school parking lot

with Laura before she died

because all you did was tip Laura off.

[Shultz] As soon as Julian told her
that she sent him an e-mail,

Laura suspected that he was in danger,

and she sent him somewhere safe.

Julian's got a lot to share
with Deputy Kildea.

Like the thumb drive Laura gave him

with the medical board complaint on it...

[siren wailing in distance]

And the fact that two weeks ago
Julian installed hidden security cameras

at the guest quarters.

That's how you knew we were in the woods.

You're lying. You're lying!

Owen had to plant the poison tonight

so by the time the medical examiner
got back from her conference,

I'd have reason to search Julian's room.

But, Owen, I had
the ME come back a day early,

so we're a few steps ahead of you.

- It's over.
- [Owen] Don't!

- [Shultz] Hey, hey! Owen.
- Don't.

Don't get any closer, Goldy.

Owen, look.

I know, I know,
that you just wanna help people,

and the wellness center,
it is such a great cause.

But, Owen,

your mother, she wouldn't want this.

Did you know
that his mother was an addict?

- I could've helped so many people.
- I know.

[Mason] Detective! Goldy!

- Hey.
- Hey.

Take him away.

[Mason] You have the right
to remain silent.

Anything you say can and will be used
against you in a court of law.

I was closer.

- You're good.
- Yeah.

[Shultz] Hey. Doing all right?

[indistinct chatter]

So you, like...? You, like, disarmed him?

Well... I tackled him.

You're like the coolest person I know,
and that even includes Detective Shultz.

Mason.

I'm gonna head to the station now.

Well, I hate to be uncool,

but I gotta head there as well.

Got a long night of paperwork ahead of me.

I'll need you to come
to the station tomorrow. Is that okay?

Of course.

[Shultz] Nine a.m.?

Try to get some sleep tonight, all right?

Thank you.

I'm just doing my job.

Well...

thank you for doing it so well.
