- [Poppy] Oh, [chuckling]
it's gonna be great.

- [Cara] I know, I can't wait.

- [Poppy] Bye.

- [Cara] Bye.

[gentle foreboding music]

[suspenseful music]

[car engine revs]

- Here we go.

- Hey, Bubba!

Oh, I'm so glad you're here.

The best part of my day.

[gentle uneasy music]

[sweet contemplative music]

- Hi, Martin.

I'm sorry I missed you again.

You'd love this house.

There are even bookshelves
in the kitchen,

so of course I had
to buy it. [chuckles]

I, uh, signed the closing papers

and I picked up the
keys this morning

and I move in next week.

And you had told me to,

to let you know, so I'm,

I'm letting you know.

And I, uh, hope that
you're doing well

at your new post.

Take care, Martin.

- You still miss him, don't you?

[Aurora sighs]

- So much.

[Aurora sighs]

I can't believe he
went back to the CIA.

[Aida sighs]

I know he wants to
serve his country,

but I just keep thinking
that he's gonna call me

and tell me he made a mistake

and he'll be on his way home.

Ah, maybe we were
really mismatched.

[Aurora chuckles]

The librarian and the spy?

[Aida chuckles]

Sounds like the
title of a bad novel.

[Aida laughing]

- I thought you two
were a fabulous match.

- Yeah, we really
were, weren't we?

[wistful piano music]

[phone beeps]

[Aida laughs]

- It's Poppy again. [chuckling]

She's coming over in a bit.

What could possibly be
wrong with the condo now?

- Well, you have
to admit, Mother,

life's gotten a lot
more interesting

since Poppy came back to town.

[wistful guitar music]

- So, um, I don't think

I'm gonna be able to make it
to your awards dinner tonight.

I'm sorry, Dustin.

- Wait a minute.

You're not coming?

- I just don't think I should,

especially after-

- No, no, no, no, no.

Poppy, you have to come.

Okay? Please?

It means a lot to me
to have you there.

- Okay, I'll come.

Um, but I'll meet you there.

- No, no, no, I'll just,

I'll just pick you up.

- No, I'll just meet you there.

Um, I have to go now.

I have a lot of things to do.

I'm, I'm on my way
to Aida's house.

- Okay.

[gentle uneasy music]

[lips smacking]

- Bye.

[gentle uneasy music]

- I'll see you tonight.

[gentle uneasy music]

[Dustin sighs]

- Look at this.

I bet it's expensive.

- Let me guess. For Dustin?

- From the mayor.

- Hmm.

- You know that homeless family

that Dustin just
did the story on?

- Mm-hmm.

- They moved into
their own apartment.

- Yeah, I read his follow-up.

- We're so proud of him.

- So proud.

- Here he comes.

Hi, Dustin. Another gift.

- Dustin! Maisie's
talking to you.

- What?

- Just another gift.

- Oh, oh, yeah, yeah.
Thank you, Maisie.

[Maisie chuckling]

- I'll just put
that on your desk.

- Great, thanks.

- Hey, Sally.

Taking our hometown hero
here out to lunch, so-

- Okay, I'll grab my bag.

- I just need you to
answer the news lines

while we're gone. [chuckling]

[playful instrumental music]

- Of course.

- Well it was driving me crazy,

the drip, drip, drip.

- Well if you had called me,

I would've had a plumber
there in an hour.

- I know, but it was late.

So I got out my toolbox and-

- That's my girl.

I used to refuse to
tie her shoes for her.

I'd always tell her-

- To rely on myself,
not other people.

Best thing anyone
ever taught me.

Anyway, I found an
instructional video

and I followed it exactly,

except for the part about
shutting the water off first.

But I cleaned up
all of the water

so the floorboards near the
sink weren't warped at all,

except for maybe one tiny corner

or two.

Please tell me you don't regret

renting your condo to me, Aida.

[Aida chuckling]

- Your mother was one
of my dearest friends.

I'm happy to keep a
roof over your head.

If I'm gonna keep a
floor under your feet,

I'd better call my handyman.

[gentle playful music]

- You think she's mad at me?

- Oh, that's just
her landlady face.

She knows repairs
come with renting.

- Well, I am gonna
make that condo famous.

Cara and I have been
making more videos

for our YouTube channel.

Do you wanna see the latest?

- Yes.

[upbeat music]

- Hi, everyone.

It's Poppy Wilson
with another great way

you can use embroidery to
make your wardrobe pop.

You've probably noticed
a ton of celebrities

wearing bomber
jackets this season.

One of the reasons?

Embroidered patches.

Right, Cara?

- Right, Poppy.

And, um, oh, you can embroider

any kind of design you like.

Like, I made these suns here.

- [Poppy] I am all about
flowers, so here's my jacket.

[Poppy chuckling]

- Cute.

- Now I have a
totally unique jacket

that no one else
in the world has.

- That is awesome.

You're a natural in
front of the camera.

- Thank you.

- Okay, Poppy, the handyman

will be at your place
tomorrow morning at 10.

- That works.

This video already
has a ton of views.

My editor said I'm starting

a new modern embroidery
craze. [chuckles]

- There's a craze?

- And when we get our
book published this year,

we will own the embroidery niche

by making it cool
and contemporary.

From there, we can start
with knitting and crochet.

We'll have a needle
art's empire.

- Oh, I wish your
mom were around

to see how well you're
doing for yourself.

- Well, Daddy says,
"She's my guardian angel,"

so maybe she can see.

Now I should go.

I'm meeting a publicist.

My editor wants me to get
on some morning shows.

- Wow.

- Aw.

- Thank you for sending someone

to take a look at the floors.

I am happy to pay for
the damages, [chuckling]

or at least my dad will be.

- I'll send the bill to Marv.

- Oh, if you do, send
it to his office,

otherwise my
stepmother might see

it and she'll throw
it out. [chuckles]

Bye.

I'm still helping you move

into your new house
next Saturday, right?

- I could definitely
use the help.

- Oh, I am so glad I moved back.

I still don't know why my Dad

thought he had to move
us away after mom died.

- Well I love that you're back.

So I'll see you and Dustin
tonight at the dinner?

- Yeah, uh, we kinda
had an argument.

- Oh no.

I'm sorry.

Did you guys break up?

- No.

- Oh, well the award's
kind of a big deal.

Sally's a little jealous.

[Poppy laughing]

- Well, I'll be there.

- Okay.

- Ciao.

- [Aurora] Bye. [chuckles]

[gentle contemplative music]

[Aurora groans]

- If that's for Dustin,
his desk is back there.

- What? Too heavy and too far.

I don't know why the
Realtor's Association

can't just say,
"Congratulations,"

with a balloon bouquet.

- Ooh, is that dark chocolate?

- Wa, ah, ah! Not yours.

- Killjoy.

And here I was
thinking of asking

you to be my plus one
for the dinner tonight.

- Oh, well I'm already
my mother's plus one.

- Oh, but you have to sit with
me at the newspaper table,

so I don't have to
talk to Dustin's date.

- You mean, Poppy?

I thought you liked her.

- I do like her,

which is why if I end
up talking to her,

I'll probably start
telling her things

that I shouldn't.

- Such as?

[Sally sighs]

- Okay, you know my cousin,
Lizzy, is getting married?

- Right, to Bubba Rankart,
my mother's lawyer.

- Right, well Bubba is Poppy's
lawyer too for her business.

- Hmm, which is taking
off in a really big way.

- Yeah, that means a lot
of contracts to go over,

a lot of meetings.

- What, you think
that Lizzy is jealous

that Bubba's spending
too much time with Poppy?

That doesn't sound
like the Bubba I know.

- Well, [sighs] I think wedding
stress is getting to her.

I mean, it is next month.

But if Poppy starts
talking to me tonight-

- Oh yeah, you are terrible
at keeping secrets.

- Yes, we've established that.

- Okay, fine.

I will sit with you

if you agree to lug that
thing over to Dustin.

- Oh, done.

- Oh, okay. See
you at the dinner.

- Okay.

[playful instrumental music]

- Uh, Maisie,

are Dustin and Macon
still at lunch?

- Ah, you know the Chop
House, they take their time.

They make the meal an event.

- They're at the Chop House?

[Sally sighs]

I love the Chop House.

[playful instrumental music]

[Sally huffs]

[sweet contemplative music]

- You're two minutes late.

- Yes I know, but
I brought gifts.

- [Lillian] They're
due in three weeks.

- Oh, Cara,

hey.
- Hi.

- Poppy just showed me
the video you guys made.

It looked really good.

- Oh, yeah, thanks.

We're getting better
at it I think.

And I just grabbed these books

on how to promote
your brand online.

Who knew this is where
we'd end up when we

were in our dorm room doing
all that crafty stuff.

But Poppy's convinced me

we're gonna take
the world by storm.

- Oh, I'm sure you will.

[Cara chuckles]

- Thank you, nice
to see you. Bye.

- Oh, those books are
for the donation bin.

- Oh, our mystery and
true crime section

are already overstuffed
with your cast-offs.

- Well then we can sell them
at the book sale fundraiser.

- Has it occurred to
you to read a book

about art or philosophy,
anything more edifying?

- A well written mystery is art,

the twists and turns
of human nature.

And true crime?

It is the very essence
of life and death.

It's all right here in
these books, Lillian.

[gentle contemplative music]

- Ugh.

- [Jason] So if you're
interested at all,

here's my card.

And I hope that you guys

can give me call sometime.

- Oh, Jason Dell.

Hey, long time, no see.

How you doing?

- Good. I just got back
into town last month.

- Oh, why didn't we see you

at the last Real
Murders Club meeting?

- We didn't see Perry
at that meeting either.

Where is your cousin, anyway?

- He's in Seattle helping
his dad remodel the kitchen.

- Oh.

- We've been working
on this idea.

Here, check it out.

- [Sally] "Dell Investigations."

- Yeah, we thought
we'd give it a try.

- Oh, I think you
guys'll do great.

And I will keep this card handy.

[Jason chuckles]

- See ya.

[relaxing piano music]

- [Sally] I think it
was nice to see Jason.

- [Terry] I've been
rehearsing it for a while.

- Oh, Arthur. Wow.

Nice suit.

- Oh, [chuckles] thanks.

My, uh, wife made me buy it.

- Well, these awards
honor our town's finest.

You have to look sharp.

- Yes, and you deserve yours,

risking your life like
that to save a little boy.

- Oh.

- Oh, I haven't seen Lynn.

Is she okay?

She's due any minute, right?

- Yes, a couple of weeks.

But the doctors put
her on bed rest,

and resting doesn't exactly
fit her personality.

- Uh, I can't find my speech.

I must've left it in the car.

Don't let them start without me.

- Don't worry, Madam
Mayor, they wouldn't dare.

[Aida chuckling]

- [Aida] Hello.

- Hi.

- Aida, I suppose
I have you to thank

for that lovely gift basket?

- Well, me and all
the other realtors.

I hope you enjoy.

- I am.

- Well you two look
like you're having fun.

- Mm-hmm.
- Bubba, where is Lizzy?

- Yeah, you know what?

She wasn't feeling
so hot this morning.

I don't think she's
gonna make it, so...

- What do you mean?

I'm here. [chuckles]

You knew I was coming.

- Yeah, so you are.

It's good to see you.

- Lizzy, what did you do,

drive over here with
the car window open?

- No.

- I have a comb in my
purse, we can fix it.

- Will you stop?

- Okay.

[Lizzy sighs]

- [Lizzy] Let's
go find our table.

- [Bubba] Okay.

- Well, Arthur, shall we?

- My pleasure.

[gentle tense music]

- She used to let
me fix her hair

all the time when we were kids.

- Poppy's still not picking up.

I'm getting worried.

- Well, you said she
was gonna meet you here.

- Yeah, but, uh,
she's really late.

- Dustin are you sure that Poppy

knows you want her here?

- Well, yeah, of
course she knows.

Why would you say that?

- Ah, um.

- You know what?

I should have picked her up.

I'm just gonna go now-

- Uh, the mayor's about to start

handing out the awards.

- Sally, do me a favor,

just go check on Poppy
and make sure she's okay.

- Uh, I, I barely know her.

- If it makes him feel
better, would you mind?

[gentle tense music]

- I'll go with you.

I've known Poppy
most of her life.

- Good evening, everybody.

I'm Mayor Terry Sternholz

and I'd like to
officially welcome you

to the 12th Annual
Lawrenceton Hometown Heroes

Awards' Banquet.

[guests clapping]

[gentle contemplative music]

And we certainly have some real
heroes to celebrate tonight.

- [Aurora] Well, Poppy's
car is still here.

I wonder if it wouldn't start?

[gentle tense music]

What's that?

- Ah, nothing, nothing.

Do you wanna knock or should I?

- You. Go ahead.

- [Sally] Okay.

[knuckles knocking]

You know, she's
probably sleeping.

- The Poppy I know would
never sleep through a party.

- Well then maybe
she's in the shower.

- What if she fell
in the shower?

[knuckles knocking]

[keys jangling]

- I think still have the key

from when I managed these
properties for my mother.

Poppy? It's Roe and Sally.

Are you here?

I'm gonna check upstairs.

- Okay, I'll wait.

Why is it so cold in here?

- [Aurora] Poppy?

[suspenseful music]

[ominous music]

Roe!

- What?

[ominous music]
[Sally gasping]

[Aurora gasps]

Oh no. Oh!

Oh, Poppy. Oh no.

There's blood.

- Oh, why? Why is there blood?

What happened? Is she okay?

- No. She's dead.

[Sally gasps]
[sad music]

[ominous music]

[Aurora crying]

[sirens blaring]

[camera clicking]

- We searched the
house, the grounds.

There's no sign of
any kind of knife

or sharp implement outside.

- Well, it's possible
we'll find traces of blood

on one of the knives in here.

Can you find out when we'll
get the preliminary report

from the medical examiner?

- Yeah.

- I used to play dolls with
her when she was eight.

- I'm sorry. Come on.

Let's get you in the other room.

So you said that the
front door was locked.

Which one of you opened it?

- Well, I did because
I still have the key

from when I managed
my mother's condo, so.

- I thought we'd
find her taking a nap

or a shower or in the middle
of an ice cream binge.

- The back door was wide open.

- Yeah, the back gate
was open as well.

- So whoever it was, well,

they didn't wanna be
seen at the front door,

or be seen by Poppy,

at least.
- Okay, Roe,

I know you're
suggesting premeditation

but I can't be discussing
theories with you.

- Or they could've tried
the front door first,

found that it was locked,
went around to the back.

Sally found something
on the front step.

- Um, yeah.

Yeah, I did.

[gentle suspenseful music]

- An empty envelope. That's it?

- [Sally] Mm-hmm.

- It's empty?

'Cause I'm sure that
you saw something in it.

- [Sally] Mm-mm.

- [Officer Heard]
Excuse me, Detective.

Found this woman
approaching the house.

- Poppy asked me to
drop off these supplies

for our next project.

Saw the cop cars.

It can't be true.

- I'm so sorry.

[Cara crying]

- I mean, I just spoke
to her on the phone

a couple of hours ago.

- Listen, I'm sorry,
but I need to ask,

what time did you
speak with Poppy?

- Um, I was getting
ready for work.

The four to eight shift
at the Yarn Emporium.

So, um,

like, 3:30?

- Well if you used
your cell phone

it would list the
time of the call.

- Um, I'll check.

- And who called who?

Did Poppy call you?

- Yeah, [crying] at 3:31.

It's the last time I'm
ever gonna talk to her.

- What did she wanna talk about?

- Okay, Roe, Sally,

I've got everything
I need from you two.

- Well, she hasn't
answered my question yet.

- Roe, you're not
wearing a badge.

You can't be interviewing
witnesses at a crime scene,

you know that.

- Well, I should probably
tell Dustin what's happened.

- No you shouldn't, Sally.

We'll, we'll take care of that.

- [Aurora] Poppy's dad
will have to be told too.

- Roe, we got this. Thank you.

- Oh, Arthur, Arthur,
um, about Dustin-

- It's been a long night.

We'll talk tomorrow. Tomorrow.

[gentle contemplative music]

- [Aurora] You know,
earlier today Poppy told me

that she and Dustin had
an argument last night.

- Oh, great.

That means he could
be a suspect now too.

- What do you mean, "Too"?

[Sally sighs]

[Aurora gasps]

- I knew it.

Sally, you found
something in that envelope

that was on the front
step, didn't you?

What was it?

- I can't tell you unless you
promise not to tell Arthur,

at least not until I've
had a chance to talk

to the person.

I just need one day. Please?

- Okay, yeah.

One day. Yeah.

"Elizabeth Allison Rankart."

- It's a wedding dress label.

Poppy embroidered it.

She gave it to Lizzy
at her bridal shower.

- Well why would it be at
the scene of the crime?

- Oh, probably some silly reason

like Lizzy didn't wanna be
friends with Poppy anymore.

- Sally?

- Look, if she killed Poppy,

do you really think she'd
leave a calling card

right there on the front step?

- Well, she could've dropped
it without knowing it.

There's more isn't there?

[gentle melancholy music]

It's Bubba with Poppy. Oh.

Well it's just a hug.

It's a close one but,

but it's just a hug.

Oh no, there's more?

"Stay away from my
fiance or else!"

Sally, we have to get
this to Arthur right away.

Lizzy threatened Poppy.

And at least she thought she
had a reason to hurt her.

- But we don't know that
Poppy saw any of this.

I mean, it was lying
on the ground, Roe.

Maybe, maybe Lizzy was
going to confront Poppy

and then chickened out,

and just left it
there for her to find.

I have to at least ask her

before I turn all
this over to Arthur.

She's my family, Roe.

- Well ask her soon.

I mean, hopefully
Lizzy's just bluffing.

And find out who
took the photographs.

- I will.

[Sally sighs]

Poor Poppy.

- It's awful.

We have to figure out
who could have done this.

[suspenseful music]

Which means we have
to find out what Poppy

and Dustin were arguing
about yesterday.

[suspenseful music]

[gentle melancholy music]

- I'm going to touch
base with Arthur.

- I just talked
to Poppy's father.

He is just beside himself.

Said he's gonna start
driving down tonight.

I told him, "Why don't
you just take some time

and catch your breath?"

But, well maybe
Nicole will drive.

- Nicole? Oh, his new wife.

- Yeah. Ah, well.

I'm gonna go home and make
sure the guest room's ready.

Bye, darling.

[suspenseful music]

- Hey, Jason.

How would you like some practice

being a private investigator?

- Yeah, you know I'm game.

- Good, because somebody needs

to keep an eye on Lizzy Allison.

[gentle uneasy music]

[uneasy music]

- What, no goodnight
kiss for your fiance?

[door bangs]

- I didn't mean for you
to do a full write-up.

You found the body,
you're a witness, so.

- Oh good.

I didn't wanna have to do
the reporting on this one.

- It is a little close to home.

Why don't you send
me what you wrote

and I'll write the story,

and then we'll print
it on my byline.

- Okay.

Macon, you know how the
victim's significant other

is usually first on
the list of suspects?

We don't have to worry about
that with Dustin, right?

I mean, you took him to
that really long lunch

this afternoon.

- I did.

He left before the food
even got to the table.

[suspenseful music]

[gentle contemplative music]

- All right, I put
clean towels in the...

Mother, are you all right?

- I was just,

I was remembering Poppy

running around here
as a little girl.

And she was,

she was so full of life
and always laughing, and...

- Oh, I'll get it.
[Marv knocking]

Hi, come in.

- Oh, Marv.

You drove all night, didn't you?

I am sorry.

I am so, so sorry.

- Hi, you must be Nicole.

- Yes, and you're
Aurora, of course,

though I thought we'd
met at our wedding.

- No, sorry. I wasn't there.

- Oh, well you missed
quite a party. [chuckles]

- [Marv] My dear girl.

- Marv. Oh, my heart
is just broken.

- Well, Poppy always looked
up to you like a big sister.

- Let me help you get your bags.

- Oh no, I told Marv, we
couldn't possibly impose.

We'll stay

at a hotel.
- Oh, you'll do no such thing.

No, you are gonna stay here

so we can make sure you get

all the love and
support you need.

- [Aurora] I'll get the bags.

- Okay.

- Oh, Arthur.

- Hey, Roe, uh, I was told

that Poppy's dad
was on his way here.

- Yeah, he's here.

But before you talk to him,

you should know that Poppy
and her boyfriend Dustin,

they had an argument the
night before she was killed.

- What? [groans]

Why didn't you tell me that
before I interviewed him?

- Because you shut
the door in my face.

- That's because you

were trying to take
over my crime scene.

Now, can I come inside
and do my job please?

- Of course.

- Thank you.

[gentle contemplative music]

I thank you for
speaking with me.

I, I know this is very difficult

and you've got my
deepest sympathies.

- We'd be grateful
for anything you

can do to help us understand
what happened to our Poppy.

- Well, the coroner says Poppy

died sometime between
3:45 and 4:30 yesterday.

- But how?

I, I can't make my mind
believe it was murder.

- We'll know more
after a full autopsy,

but the coroner found a stab
wound in Poppy's abdomen.

It was caused by some
sort of serrated blade.

[Arthur sighs]

I'm sorry, but I'm gonna need

to ask you some hard questions,

like whether you knew of anyone

who might've wished Poppy harm.

- No, no one.

- Everyone loved Poppy.

- Well, obviously not everyone.

[uneasy music]

What? I'm sorry.

I don't know what good
it does now to pretend

that Poppy didn't rub
some people the wrong way.

- And I don't know what good

it does to be so
lacking in tact.

[uneasy music]

- Uh, does anyone need any
cream or sugar for their coffee?

[Aida sighs]

- I just assumed that it
was a robbery gone awry,

a stranger broke in
and was surprised

to find Poppy at home perhaps.

- Well, that's possible,

but from what we can tell,

she opened her back
door to her attacker.

- That means it was
probably someone she knew.

- I'm sorry.

Marv knows how
much I adored Poppy

and how upset I am
that she was killed,

but you asked and the truth is,

Poppy could act like she was
the center of the universe.

And if you ask me,

maybe she just pushed
the wrong person too far.

[ominous music]

[gentle suspenseful music]

[phone beeps]

[phone ringing]

- [Aurora] Hi, Jason.

- Hey, so, uh,

I've been keeping an
eye on Sally's cousin.

She didn't go
anywhere all night.

And Sally just got here.

- Well, keep an eye
on the situation

as long as you can.

I have to go to
my mother's today.

People will be
coming over to pay

their respects to Poppy's dad.

[Aurora groans]

It's gonna be such a sad day.

- Yeah, maybe you can
figure out who's been

feeling hostile
towards Poppy lately.

- Oh, well I already
know one person

who doesn't seem to have
liked her very much,

her stepmother.

[uneasy music]

- Lizzy, Poppy gave this to you.

What was it doing
on her porch? Lizzy?

- Okay, yes.

I took that to
Poppy's yesterday.

I just wanted her to
know that it's not fair

for her to monopolize
my fiance's time

while we're trying
to plan our wedding.

Do you know that
Bubba was at her house

until 10 o'clock
the other night?

- Okay, you don't really think

that Poppy was involved
with Bubba, do you?

- Well, I didn't
wanna think that,

but [sighs] Bubba is
just so irresistible.

- If you say so.

- And poppy could be so flirty.

- Well, you know that jealousy

is considered a strong
motive for murder, right?

[Lizzy sighs]

Where did she get
the photos from?

- I hired a private
investigator.

He took these.

- All it shows is Bubba
and Poppy hugging.

- Well, pretty
intimately if you ask me.

[Sally sighs]

- Are there any more photos?

- No, I stopped
working with the PI

after he took these.

Look, Bubba was
there way too often.

- He was Poppy's lawyer, Lizzy.

And now you've gone
in placed yourself

at the scene of the crime,

with a threatening
note, no less.

- Well, how was I
supposed to know

that it was gonna
be a crime scene?

[Sally sighs]

- Okay, why was the envelope

and all the stuff in it just
lying on the porch anyway?

Lizzy, tell me you
didn't get into a fight

with her.

- Well, I wouldn't call
it a fight exactly.

[Sally sighs]

I went over to Poppy's to
put the envelope in her door.

I didn't know she was home.

She must've seen me coming
because she opened the door.

It surprised me.

I froze.

And then I yelled at her
to stay away from Bubba.

She said she didn't know
what I was talking about.

And she slammed the door.

- So you didn't give
her the envelope?

- No, I was furious.

I threw it and it must've
landed on the porch,

but I don't know

because I was already on
my way back to my car.

That's it. I swear.

I saw her for five seconds.

[gentle uneasy music]

You believe me, don't you?

- Lizzy, of course I do.

But you do know

that I have to give
all this to the police

and tell them where I found it.

[gentle uneasy music]

- Go ahead.

I know that I didn't
do anything wrong.

[gentle suspenseful music]

- I, I think your mother's a
little put out with my wife.

- Oh, that's just because
she doesn't know her well.

None of us do.

So what brought
you two together?

- A lot of things actually.

One of the things I
really like about Nicole

is that she tends
to speak her mind.

[Aurora chuckles]

- That I've seen.

[Marv chuckles]

Did she in Poppy get along well?

- Oh, they butted heads a bit.

I mean, Poppy also
tended to speak her mind,

just a little louder,

- So they clashed.

- Sometimes.

We, uh, we had planned
to visit for next month.

We were gonna stay with Poppy.

I thought it would be
a good chance for Poppy

and Nicole to maybe, um,
find some common ground.

[Marv sighs]

That chance is gone.

[gentle melancholy music]

You spent a lot of
time with Poppy lately.

Would you say she was happy?

- Yeah, I would.

Yeah, she was very
excited about her new book

coming out and,

and her YouTube channel growing.

And I think she was having
a lot of fun with Dustin.

- Who's Dustin?

- Her boyfriend, of
the last three months.

She didn't tell you?

- Not a word.

[gentle uneasy music]

[gentle playful music]

- Jason, what are
you doing here?

- Uh, how'd you spot me?

Thought I was being covert.

- I know your car.

What are you doing here?

- Roe asked me to keep
an eye on your cousin.

She thinks she
might be a suspect

in the Poppy Wilson murder.

[Sally groans]

- I suppose she will be,

which is why I'm heading
over to Bubba's office

to ask him directly if he
had any interest in Poppy,

outside of being a client.

Then I have to go see Arthur.

- Well, you shouldn't
have to do that alone.

I'll follow you.

[engine revs]

[knuckles tapping]

- Dustin, hi.
- Hi.

- [Aurora] Come in.

- Thanks.

Uh, this is so surreal.

I still can't believe
that she's gone.

- I am so sorry for your loss.

You two had grown
pretty close, huh?

- Yeah, I mean,

we hadn't been dating that long,

but it was just one of those
instant connections, you know?

- Yeah.

- Hey is that, is
that here dad there?

- Mm-hmm.

- Can you introduce me?

- [Aurora] Sure.

Oh, but can I ask
you a question first?

Um, Poppy told me
that the two of you

had an argument the night
before she was killed.

- An argument?

That's what she called it?

- I'm sure that Detective Smith

will ask you what it was about.

- I already talked to
Detective Smith last night

and he didn't say anything.

- I told him this morning.

He was here.

- Well, I don't know
why she would say that.

We didn't argue.

We never argued,
that's the thing.

- All couples fight
once in a while.

- No, not when the guy's
so in love with the girl

that he always gives her
exactly what she wants.

[suspenseful music]

Mr. Wilson?

- Yeah?

- Hi, I'm Dustin.

- I'm Marv.
- Hi.

- This is, uh, Nicole.

- Oh, Arthur!

I didn't expect to see you here.

- And yet I am not at all
surprised to see you here,

but we're, uh, pretty much done.

- Wha, uh, why?

- Well the good detective
here beat a path to my door

when his associates
found my fingerprints

all over Poppy's kitchen.

I was there earlier in the week

to go over some details
of their book contract.

I'm sure Cara will confirm it.

- Well, it does mean you weren't
there yesterday afternoon?

- Well, young man,
you have a point.

As I also told Arthur, I
was in court all day working

through a probate case
with Judge Henderson.

- That sounds like
a solid alibi.

- Yes it does.

- Now, if it's all
right with you,

I'd like to pay my
respects to Marv Wilson.

- Okay, look.

I know what you guys are doing.

I know as Real
Murders Club members,

you and Roe are
gonna do everything

you can to try and
solve Poppy's murder.

- Okay, you're Real Murders too.

- [sighs] No, I'm
not. Not right now.

With Lynn on maternity
leave, I'm the Acting Chief,

and I promised her that I
would do things her way.

So please, guys,

give us some distance, okay?

Let us get the job done.

Oh, and if you do come
across any information,

I want your word that you
will share it with me.

- I have no problem
with that. You?

- [Arthur] Sally?

- Okay, the envelope I found
on Poppy's porch last night,

it wasn't empty.

- It wa, uh...

- Um, uh, Poppy made the label

for my cousin, Lizzy,
for her wedding dress.

The photos were taken
by a private eye.

And the note,

well, Lizzy just told me

that she confronted
Poppy yesterday

because she thought Poppy was
having an affair with Bubba.

- Hang on, you,

you held back
evidence in a murder?

- I know it was wrong.

I am sorry, Arthur.

It's just that she's family.

I had to talk to her first.

- Wow, I, I mean,

I, I could arrest
you for obstruction.

I should arrest you
for obstruction,

but I'll have to
deal with that later.

Right now, I need
to go talk to Lizzy

and I'll have to talk
to Bubba again, I...

- I hate it when
Arthur is mad at me.

- I threw the envelope
toward the porch

and went back to my car.

Look, it was just a
silly act of jealousy,

that's all.

- And what time was this?

- Um, I got off work
a little bit late,

so quarter to four.

- And you just turned
and got in your car?

Your note threatened her.

Are you sure you didn't
go around the back

and try to talk to her again?

- No, I got in my
car and I drove away.

And Poppy was very
much alive when I left,

I promise you.

You know, I, I should
really be at Aida's

paying respect to the Wilson's.

- Why were you late
for the awards dinner?

- Um, oh, oh, [chuckles]

I spilled tea on my dress

as I was getting ready
to leave the house

for the dinner.

So I had to go get changed.

- Right, and no
one else was here

with you at the time?

- No, but-

- Do own a set of
steak knives, Lizzy?

- Well yes, I keep
them on my counter.

[gentle uneasy music]

Um, [clears throat]
why do you ask?

- The coroner says,

"The wound that killed Poppy

was caused by a serrated
blade four inches long,"

exactly the length of
a serrated steak knife.

[gentle suspenseful music]

- Well, um...

I don't know where my set is.

[Arthur sighs]

- You need to call
your lawyer, Lizzy,

'cause I'm taking you in
for formal questioning.

- Just seems as Poppy's lawyer,

I'd know if someone
had issue with her.

- We're all searching
our mind for some clue

as to who would do such a thing.

- Yeah.

- Wow, you have a lotta
nerve coming here.

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

- Really? Please.

Poppy was my best friend,

you don't think she
told me everything?

If you're hoping Poppy
forgave you before she died,

you can stop

because she didn't.

[suspenseful music]

- Cara, are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm just upset.

I mean, I not only lost Poppy,

but I lost everything

we worked so hard for together.

I just don't understand
why this is happening.

- Well, I wanna understand too.

[plate crashes]

- Oh!
- Oh!

I'm so sorry.
- No, no, no.

No worries.
[Bubba groaning]

It's okay.

- Here, no, no.
- Oh my gosh.

[Bubba groans]

Thank you.

- Sorry, sorry.
- Be careful. Be careful.

[gentle melancholy music]

- Cara, I, I'm sorry,
but I overheard you say

that Poppy hadn't
forgiven Nicole.

May I ask what that was about?

- Um, well, Poppy told me

that Nicole asked Marv
to change his will

to make Nicole the
sole beneficiary.

And of course, Marv said, "No,"

but now that Poppy's gone,

I, I shouldn't have
said anything to Nicole.

I'm sure she's just as upset
as I am that Poppy's gone.

- We'll all miss Poppy so much.

Cara, did Poppy
say anything to you

about her and Dustin
having a fight

the night before she died?

- Oh, um, no,

but it's like I
told that detective,

when I talked to
Poppy yesterday,

she was trying to figure out how

to get out of going
to the awards dinner.

- Did she say why?

- No. I'm sorry.

I have to go.

[Dustin clears throat]

- [Cara] Oh, sorry.

- [Sally] Sorry. Hi, Dustin.

- Hi.

- Hey.

- Oh, there you are.

Ah, I would like an
explanation please.

- What are you talking about?

- You sent Jason to
keep an eye on Lizzy?

Why would you do that
without telling me?

- Because I was worried about
the contents of the envelope.

You have to admit,

it makes Lizzy look suspicious.

- Lizzy would never have
anything to do with a murder.

I gave the envelope and
everything in it to Arthur,

so I'm sure he's
figured that out by now.

- Sally, good, you're here.

I need you to come down to
the police station with me.

- Uh, uh, why?

- Arthur hauled Lizzy
in for questioning.

He's calling her, "A
person of interest."

[contemplative music]

- Yeah, I'm going with you.

- Lizzy loses track
of her knife set,

and now she's sitting
in an interrogation room

scared out of her wits?

- Okay, first she was at
the scene of the crime

in the time window
of the murder.

- No, she was outside the scene.

- Yes, having angry
words with the victim.

And as for the
missing knife set,

like I told Lizzy,

the coroner says
that the stab wound

that killed Poppy was caused

by a serrated blade,
four inches long.

- But you don't
actually have a knife,

and no physical evidence.

- Do you, Arthur?

Lizzy's prints or anything

that places her
inside Poppy's condo?

- We'll know soon enough.

- Well, I'm representing her

and I wanna see her right now.

- Be my guest.

- Do you really think that Lizzy

could do this to Poppy, Arthur?

- Okay, you know what?

I, I'm not gonna answer that.

- What about Dustin,
her boyfriend?

- Yes, I'm pretty sure
he was out of the office

the entire afternoon
that Poppy was killed.

- Yes, I know that.

We're looking at all the
possibilities right now,

following every lead.

That's what police
detectives do,

which neither of you are.

So guys, please just
let me get back to work.

[gentle contemplative music]

[Arthur sighs]

- I know in my heart Lizzy
couldn't have done this, Roe.

- Well we may not be detectives,

that doesn't mean we
can't solve this crime.

- Marv, you're exhausted.

Let's get you upstairs so
you can get some sleep.

- Marv, it's been
such a long day.

You need your rest.

- Not that closing my eyes
will make it all go away,

but I'll come up.

Good night.

And, uh-
- Good night.

- Thank you for everything
you've done, both of you.

- Oh, well I wish it were more.

- Good night.

- Good night.

- Oh, Nicole, you
dropped something.

- Oh?

- Looks like a gas receipt.

- No, it's not mine.

- Oh, okay.

Good night.

- Good night.

[gentle suspenseful music]

[ominous music]

[Aida sighs]

[uneasy music]

- What? Aurora!

- What? What!

[ominous music]

What? What?
[Aida gasping]

- Somebody broke into the house.

[dark ominous music]

[gentle contemplative music]

Well nothing's been taken,

as far as I can tell.

I [chuckling] don't
know why someone

would break in just to
knock over a trash can.

- Well, something woke me
a little after midnight.

I, I, I thought I heard
footsteps upstairs.

- Yeah, but honey,

I don't think that's
what you heard

because I got up and
looked, remember?

- [Arthur] Were
either of you two

up walking around
after midnight?

- No, but,

but the idea that someone
was walking around my house

in the middle of
the night after,

after what happened to Poppy...

- Oh, I can't imagine one has
anything to do with the other.

- I can't imagine that
they're not connected.

- Okay, well, we'll see if
we come up with some prints

and I'll get back to you, okay?

- Yeah.

[soft contemplative music]

- Hey, Arthur.

Arthur wait.

I don't know if Cara told you,

but Nicole tried to get
Marv to change his will

so she would become
the sole beneficiary.

- Yeah, she did mention
something to that effect.

- So is Nicole on
your suspect list?

- Roe, I'm not discussing
my suspect list.

Besides, she lives hours away.

- Yeah, but doesn't
mean that she

couldn't have hired
someone to get rid

of Poppy and come after Marv.

I mean, maybe that's why someone
broke in here last night,

except Marv thwarted
the plan by waking up.

[Arthur chuckling]

- You think that she hired
someone to kill her husband

while she was lying
right next to him?

- Look, Marv Wilson
is a very wealthy man.

And with Poppy gone,

Nicole stands to inherit
a very large fortune

once Marv dies.

- Okay, it's official.

You read too many mysteries.

- No, actually I study
a lot of true crime.

Do you remember the first
year at Real Murders,

we covered the Jacobson case?

A man made a jailhouse
confession 20 years

after Ted Jacobson hired
him to kill his wife

while he ate a turkey
sandwich downstairs.

- That's right,
Jacobson didn't do a day

of time for that, did he?

- So is Nicole on your list?

[Arthur sighs]

- You don't give up, do you?

- Well, she's
definitely on mine.

- Mm-hmm.

[gentle contemplative music]

- I know our next
Real Murders meeting

isn't for another
couple of weeks,

so I appreciate you
all coming down here.

I can't think of a better way
to use our common interest

than to try to solve the murder

of someone who
meant so much to us.

- We all want to help.

It's the right thing to do.

- Thank you, Larry.

And yes, it is.

Okay, so I emailed
all of you a summary

of what we know so far
before the meeting.

Let's talk about suspects.

Number one, Nicole Wilson.

Nicole didn't get
along with Poppy.

And according to Cara,

tried to cut Poppy
out of Marv's will,

so she has a motive.

- But how much money does
old Marv have anyway?

- Oh, a lot,

like, at least eight figures.

[Jason whistles]

- But there's no real
evidence that points to her.

- No, not yet.

All of the evidence so far

points to number
two, Lizzy Allison.

Now Lizzy admits to
being jealous of Poppy,

said she confronted her,

and she was at the
scene of the crime

during the window of
time the murder occurred.

- Uh, she was outside the scene.

- Well, there's also
the missing knife set.

- Yeah, which Lizzy swore

was in her kitchen
the day before.

She has no idea where it went.

- Who does she think
made it go away?

- Who has access
to Lizzy's kitchen?

- Well, that would
be her fiance,

number three, Bubba Rankart.

Now, Bubba's fingerprints
are all over Poppy's house.

- He explained that.

- But why would he
want to kill her?

- Yeah, I mean,
what's his motive?

Why would he wanna
kill his own client?

- Well, if Lizzy was worried

he was seeing Poppy on the sly.

- Yeah, but he wasn't.

- Well, suppose he was.

And suppose Poppy
threatened to tell Lizzy

about it a month
before the wedding.

- There's your motive.

- But he was in Judge
Henderson's courtroom
all afternoon.

- I know the judge.

I'll find out if that
alibi really is airtight.

- Good. That brings us to
number four, Dustin Sykes.

[chalk tapping]

Poppy said she and
Dustin had a fight,

but Dustin denied it.

And Cara said that she

didn't wanna go to
the awards dinner.

- Yet Dustin said that she'd
agreed to meet him there.

- Wait, you said he didn't
go back into work that day.

- So if he wasn't at work-

- Then he could have gone

to pick up Poppy for
dinner after all.

And she could have told
him she didn't wanna go.

He could've gotten angry.

They could've fought again.

- Ugh, this is horrible.

- Well, see if you
can rule Dustin out.

Find out what he was
doing that afternoon.

Maybe he has another
alibi besides work.

And Jason, you come with me
and we'll go talk to Cara,

see if Poppy told her
anything else about Dustin,

or Bubba, or Nicole.

- My money's on the stepmother.

- Well, if it is her,

that would explain the break-in
at my mother's last night.

- I know the Jacobson case,

but why would Nicole
wanna have Marv

killed so soon after Poppy died?

- Yeah, doesn't that just
make her look more suspicious?

- Well, not if she were clever
enough to cover her tracks.

[Aurora gasps]

The gas receipt!

I forgot to tell you
about the receipt I found.

So I found this on
the living room floor

of my mother's house.

It's a receipt to a gas station

right around the corner
from Poppy's condo,

date and timestamped
within the timeframe

that Poppy was killed, 3:53.

- So you think
Nicole dropped it?

- Well she could have,
but she denied it.

Or Dustin Sykes
or Bubba Rankart.

They were all at the
reception yesterday.

Jason, you go talk to Cara.

I'm gonna go to this gas station

and find out who
bought this gas.

And if anyone else has
any other insights,

please call me right away.

Okay, thank you all for coming.

[gentle contemplative music]

- Oh, see this right here?

It means it was
paid at the pump.

We don't pay attention
to people who do that,

not unless they ask for help.

- Okay.

[gentle contemplative music]

Hey, do these
security cameras work?

I, I mean, if the police came
and asked for the footage,

would they be able to get it?

- Oh sure.

Yeah, we had a couple of
robberies this last year,

so the owner makes
sure they're working.

[phone chiming]

- Thanks. Hello, Mother.

- Hi, honey.

Marv got a call telling him

that he's allowed to go
into Poppy's condo now.

He needs to get some of her
clothes to take to the mortuary.

The idea of going there
is just too much for him,

so I told him I'd see if you

could go and pick out
an outfit for her?

- Oh, sure.

Yeah. I can do that.

I just have to stop at
the police station first.

I have to give Arthur

something.
- Okay, thank you.

[gentle melancholy music]

[phone beeps]

- Maisie, do you
know where Dustin is?

- No.

- Why is he always gone lately?

- Well, if you ask me,

he should take some time off.

That poor man is
heartbroken over Poppy.

- Is he?

- Sally, I just got
a tip from my contact

at the coroner's office.

They're saying that due to
the angle of the wounds,

that Poppy Wilson's killer
is probably left-handed.

- Lizzy's definitely
not a lefty.

Oh, but I've bumped
elbows with Dustin

at the conference
table enough times

to know that he's a lefty.

[gentle uneasy music]

- Wild.

- Hi, can I help
you with something?

- Yeah, I've got a
ton of questions.

- About yarn?

- Not exactly.

[Aurora sighs]

[door bangs]

[suspenseful music]

[floor creaking]

Somebody here?

[floor creaking]
[ominous music]

[Aurora shrieks]

[Aurora thuds]

[energetic suspenseful music]

Two break-ins in
two days, Arthur?

First at my mother's
and now one here.

- Well, I can't see any
signs this person broke in.

Are you sure the
front door was locked?

- Yeah, positive.

Which means whoever it
was probably had a key.

- Well, who would've had
a key to Poppy's place?

- Her lawyer maybe?

- No, no Bubba was
definitely not just here.

I've already got a
tail on him and Lizzy.

- What about Dustin Sykes?

I mean, they were dating.

Maybe Poppy gave him a key.

I can call Sally and see
if he's still at work.

- Oh, I wish you woulda
got a better look at him.

- Well, the last
thing I was expecting

was for someone to
jump out of the closet.

Do you think it was the killer?

Or do you think
someone killed Poppy

because she had
something hidden here?

[Arthur sighs]

- I don't-
[phone beeps]

- [Sally] This is Sally.

- Hey, it's me.

I need to know if Dustin
is at work right now.

- No, he's been
out all afternoon

and he didn't tell
anyone he was leaving.

Why do you ask?

- Because I just caught someone
searching Poppy's bedroom.

I mean, I didn't see who it was,

but I just saw him running.

Uh, Sally said that
Dustin is not at work.

- Oh, are you with Arthur?

Okay, we got a tip
the coroner thinks

the killer was left-handed.

Tell Arthur that
Dustin is left-handed.

[ominous music]

[gentle contemplative music]

- Hey, you wanted to see me?

- Yeah, uh, Cara has
something to tell you

about Dustin Sykes.

- Right this way.

- I should've said
something that first night.

I just, I didn't.

[Cara sighs]

I believed that Dustin was
truly in love with Poppy.

I mean, it just never occurred
to me that he could hurt her.

- But it's occurred to you now?

- No. I don't know.

All I know is that
I was in her kitchen

when he came over the
night before she died.

I mean, he didn't
know I was there.

He, he, he rushed in all excited

and then all of a sudden
he was down on one knee

asking her to marry him.

He had this big fat ring and-

- And?

- Well, she turned him down.

Well they'd only been
dating for three months.

She said she was sorry,
she wasn't ready,

And then she said
she wasn't sure

she was even in love
with him at all.

- Well why? Why do you
think she wasn't sure?

- I don't know.

I mean, she said,
"He was too needy."

- And how did he
react to all this?

- Well he didn't say much but,

I mean, I got the
impression he was humiliated

and then he left in a hurry.

- You know, when I
asked him how serious

the relationship was
he said, "Not very."

- Sounds like he was lying.

- Do you know, uh,
if he left the ring

there at Poppy's or if
he took it with him?

- Um, no, I don't.

I don't know. I didn't ask.

I mean, I was just so
embarrassed for him.

- Maybe that's
what he was looking

for today, the ring.

I, I need to get
an APB out on him.

[suspenseful music]

- Wait, will they arrest him
because of what I just said?

- Oh, if they do arrest him,

it won't be just
because of that.

- Because I really don't
think he could hurt her.

He loved her.

- Hey, do you wanna get
some coffee or something?

- I'd like that.

[gentle peaceful music]

[gentle uneasy music]

- What are you doing?

- Oh! Dustin, there you are.

- You're searching my desk?

- I didn't feel good about it.

I was just trying to
figure out where you went.

Macon was asking for you.

Where have you been?

- I've been sitting in my car.

The woman I love just died,

so I sit in my car

and I think about her.

- What about her condo?

Do you ever go there
and think about her,

like, maybe this afternoon?

- Why would you say that, Sally?

- Um-

- Mr. Sykes, I'm gonna
need you to come with me.

[door clicks]

[gentle melancholy music]

- I really appreciate
your picking

up some things from
Poppy's closet.

- Oh, I'm happy to help.

- Well, I guess we should
get going into the mortuary.

- Yeah.

- Oh, let me, uh,

give you the key
to Poppy's condo

in case you need

anything else.
- That's okay, um,

I've got the key
that Poppy gave me.

[keys jangling]

Well, at least I did.

[gentle uneasy music]

Thanks.

- Uh, Nicole?

Can I, uh, talk to
you for a second?

- I'll just get the car.

- [Nicole] Okay.

[door clicks]

- You have mud on your
shoes like I did earlier.

And I bet if I open up your
purse, you would have that key.

You were the one I chased
out of Poppy's condo today.

[Nicole sighs]

- So that was you?

[Nicole sighs]

I thought the
murderer was returning

to the scene of the crime.

- You were looking
for something?

- Yes, photos of Poppy.

I'm making Marv a collage,

but sh, don't tell him.

I want it to be a surprise. Bye.

[gentle uneasy music]

- It was Nicole.

She was the one searching
Poppy's bedroom today.

- You're kidding.

I was sure it was Dustin.

Well, I'm glad
it's not him, but-

- Are you sure about that?

- Yes, Roe, I'm sure I
don't wanna be working

10 yards away from
a potential killer.

Did Nicole tell you why?

- Oh, she gave me some excuse
that I don't buy for a second.

No, there was something she
wanted in that condo very badly.

- Oh, please don't say what
I think you're gonna say.

- Oh yeah, first thing tomorrow

we're going over
there to find it.

[gentle uneasy music]

- Looks like the
attorney is here.

- Yeah.

- Gentlemen. I hope you
haven't said anything?

- No, no, no.

Your client has
been doing his best

quiet as a mouse impression.

But I have a lot of questions.

- Yeah, which he is
not going to answer.

Dustin, you ready to go?

- Oh, why wouldn't
you wanna cooperate?

I assume you want your
girlfriend's killer found?

- I assume you would just
love to cast him in that role.

And why should he help you
build a case against him?

- Well, if he's innocent,

then he's got nothing
to worry about.

- Well, unless you've
got a good reason

to keep my client here,

I'm afraid you're gonna
have to let him go.

- Did you ask
Poppy to marry you?

[gentle uneasy music]

- [Attorney] They don't
have a thing. Let's go.

- Yeah, well the
judge might not agree

when I ask for that warrant.

His prints were
all over the condo.

- Yeah, where he
visited frequently.

- And the alibi he gave
for the time of the murder,

it doesn't hold up,

so he should definitely
be talking to me.

- We'll give that some thought.

Have a nice day.

[gentle contemplative music]

[Arthur sighs]

- There's some pie in the fridge

if either of you
would like some.

- No thanks.
[door clatters]

[Marv gasps]

[Aurora sighs]

[gentle uneasy music]

- It's just a neighbor
closing a gate.

[Aida chuckles]

- We're all a little jumpy.

Wondering if the,

the person who
showed up last night

is coming back.

- Well Arthur said he's
sending a patrol car

by every hour or two
for the next few days.

- [Aida] Well, that's a relief.

- Yes it is.

Oh, Marv, let's turn
in for the night.

It's been a rough day.

- Yeah. Good night, you two.

- Oh, goodnight.
- Thank you for dinner.

- Good night.

- You're doing it again.

Giving Nicole the
suspicious eye.

- Oh, Mother,

I know that you're willing
to buy Nicole's excuse

about being at
Poppy's condo today-

- Oh, I am not
Nicole's biggest fan.

But I see no reason
not to give her

the benefit of the doubt.

- Didn't you notice that she

was the only one
not jumpy tonight,

not worried or afraid
of another intruder?

Probably because she
planned the first one.

- Aurora, you know I don't
approve of your getting involved

with solving these crimes.

- Mother, the victim was
someone we knew very well.

- I realize that,

but how many other
undeserving people

have gotten tangled up
in your net of suspicion?

- That's how it works.

Every case that I've studied,

the investigator finds the
truth through skepticism,

through resisting the urge

to give people the
benefit of the doubt.

- You're not an investigator.

You're a librarian.

And, and what is all this
skepticism doing to you,

to your relationships
with other people,

with the world?

- Well, Mother,

I know that you're
worried about me.

But what we should be
worried about right now

is that we may be harboring

the very person
that killed Poppy.

[gentle uneasy music]

Just promise me
that you will lock

your bedroom door tonight.

So basically,

my mother had said
I'm too suspicious,

that I don't have a healthy
relationship with the world.

I think I have a very healthy
relationship with the world.

- If you say so.

- I mean, skepticism
isn't unhealthy.

It's skepticism keeps you safe.

- Oh wow.

Poppy made some
pretty hefty deposits

into her bank account
in the past few months.

Her business must've
been taking off big time.

- Really? Who do you
think inherits that money?

Must be her dad, right?

- I think so.

- Well, we have to find out,

'cause if Poppy's
money goes to Marv,

and Marv's money
goes to Nicole...

You know, we have opened up
every drawer in this room.

There are no false bottoms.

There's nothing
taped underneath.

I don't think we're gonna find

whatever it is Nicole

was looking for.
[cushion crinkles]

[gentle uneasy music]

This cushion crinkled.

There's something
in the cushion.

[gentle contemplative music]

- Oh, it's a letter
from Nicole to Poppy.

Not a very nice letter.

- This one's almost threatening.

- Why would she hide these?

- For safekeeping?

Marv told me that me
that he and Nicole

were gonna be staying with Poppy

for a visit next month.

Maybe she was gonna use
these to blackmail Nicole,

show her father eventually?

- Oh, I don't know.

But I do think you should
probably call Arthur.

- I will.

But now I'm even more
worried that Nicole

could've hired someone
to take out Poppy,

except she opened the door
to whoever killed her.

What I do know is
Nicole didn't like Poppy

and had a reason
to get rid of her.

Marv could be next.

- Marv, who's staying
with you and Aida?

Roe, do you know
what that means?

- Yeah, my mother and I
could be in danger too.

[gentle uneasy music]

- "You grew up spoiled

and if only spoiled further,
as far as I can tell,

and if you continue to
undermine me with your father,

then you leave me no choice
but to fight fire with fire."

Okay, I can see why you two

found these letters
so concerning.

- I mean, why would Nicole
secretly search for them

if they don't implicate
her in Poppy's death?

- Uh, maybe she just
wanted to find them

before her husband did
so he wouldn't be upset

with her for the problem
she was having with Poppy.

- Good point.

Still, I'm not ready to give
her the benefit of the doubt.

- Especially if she's
one that dropped

that receipt you found.

- Exactly.

Arthur, did you get a hold
of that security footage

from the gas station
for that day?

- Oh yeah, Officer Heard's
going over the tapes

right now so that he can...

Okay, wait, uh-uh. [chuckles]

You two are doing it again.

- [Aurora and Sally] Doing what?

- That thing you do where you

try and get me to get me
to talk about the case.

- No, no.

We've brought you new
evidence in the case.

- We are being good
citizens, Arthur.

- And whoever bought that gas,

they were very
near Poppy's place

right around the
time of the murder.

- Yeah, what she said.

- No, I'm not
giving you anything.

[gentle contemplative music]

- Oh, Dustin, you scared me.

- If I ask you something,

will you tell me the truth?

Does everybody here think

that I had some to do
with Poppy's murder?

- Well, I think it's
obvious the police

consider you a suspect.

If I ask you a question,
will you tell the truth?

[gentle uneasy music]

Where were you the
afternoon Poppy was killed,

because no one here knows?

- I was at the jeweler.

I was trying to get my
money back for a ring

that I tried to give Poppy.

[gentle melancholy music]

I asked her to marry me,

like some overanxious puppy,

and she shot me down.

So now you know.

- Now take the yarn
in your right hand,

wrap it around the
needle and pull it tight,

keeping tension on the yarn.

Let's see, [chuckling]
getting there.

- Jason?

[gentle contemplative music]

- Beautiful, good work.
[Roe chuckling]

Into the first stitch.

- So this was what
you've been doing lately,

learning to knit?

- Only to find out
more about Poppy

and what she was going through.

And, uh, you know.

- Beautiful choice.
I love this one.

- You like Cara.

- [Cara] Bye, have a nice day.

- She's pretty
awesome. [chuckles]

- Sorry to keep
you waiting, Roe.

There's always a ton of
questions after a lesson.

- Not a problem.

- Um, so you wanted
to talk to me

about my business with Poppy?

- I wanna know what happens to
the money from the business.

Does it go to you?

Does it go to-

- Oh, no. Um, 'cause
I'm not her, um-

- Beneficiary.

- Right, beneficiary.

Yes, right. That's her dad.

At least, I think.

You'd have to ask Bubba Rankart.

He set up our
corporation for us,

wrote up the contracts

for who got which
share of the profits.

- Was Marv a partner?

- He gave us the start-up money,

so he has a big
stake in the company.

I only got 20%, but still,

we were starting
to do really well,

and I had to tell our
editor this morning

that there wasn't gonna be
a book or any more videos.

- Well, why not keep it going?

You know, do the book
yourself or be in the videos.

- Me? [laughs] No.

Poppy was the one that
was good at that stuff.

- Well, you could try.

I mean, maybe I could help you.

[gentle contemplative music]

[bell ringing]

- Oh, excuse me.

Hi, can I help you?

[gentle playful music]

- Hey, Romeo.

I'm gonna go to Bubba's office,

see if I can find out more

about what happens to Poppy's

share of the profits
in the company.

- But if it all
goes to Marv, then-

- Yeah, that could be another
strike against Nicole.

- Well, there's still
a lot to pin down,

but my money is on Dustin Sykes.

- Oh, Lynn, the
mayor just walked in.

Can I call you back?

I, I'll call you back.

How can I help?

- I just got this transcript
from Judge Henderson's office

for the day of Poppy
Wilson's murder.

- Oh, if you're talking
about Bubba's alibi,

I already confirmed court
was in session all afternoon.

- Well, according to this,

it wasn't the entire afternoon.

Look here at 3:25,

judge calls a recess
so he can dial

into his son's
parent-teacher conference.

Court doesn't resume until 4:07.

It's a 42 minute recess.

And Poppy lives what,

maybe 15 minutes
from the courthouse?

- Enough time to
get there and back.

- Hey, Boss.

I think I found
what you're looking

for on the security tape
from the gas station.

[gentle solemn music]

Okay here it is, 3:44 pm.

Here's the car.

There's the driver.

- [Terry] It's Bubba Rankart.

- That gas station is nowhere
near the courthouse, is it?

- No, it's not,

but it's right around the
corner from Poppy's place.

And it's right at the
time of the murder.

[suspenseful music]

[gentle somber music]

- Arthur, were you
here to see Bubba?

- Yes, and his
receptionist said,

"He bolted out the back
when he saw us pull up."

- What? Why would Bubba
be running away from you?

- You mean away from me
and my search warrant.

- What are you searching
for in Bubba's office?

- Uh-uh, you know I am
not gonna tell you that.

Any sign of Bubba yet?

- No, but we found something.

- Aurora, you need
to go, please.

Get those to forensics.

- That was Lizzy's
knife set, wasn't it?

There was a knife missing.

- Okay, no.

Again, I cannot tell you that.

- No, Bubba Rankart
is not a killer.

- Yeah, well there's a
warrant out for his arrest.

- Oh no.

It, it was Bubba who bought

the gas near-
- It-

- Poppy's that day-
- Okay-

No-
- Wasn't it?

- Mm-mm.

[Aurora sighs]

[gentle melancholy music]

[gentle contemplative music]

- Poppy's lawyer?

That's who the police
think killed her?

- Aurora said that there's a
warrant out for his arrest.

Bubba's my lawyer too,
and a very good friend.

I, I just hope this is
all some terrible mistake.

- I'd like to go down
to the police station,

find out for myself
what they know.

- I'll get my purse.

- Look, I'm sorry if it
turns out to be a friend,

but I want justice
for my daughter.

- Oh, Marv, of course.

No, only the truth matters.

[gentle contemplative music]

Hmm.

- Shocking that a
person I thought I knew

could be essentially
dark at his core.

- Of course, you're probably not

the least surprised by this,

the way you immerse yourself

in every tale of
murder you can find.

- For once, I am surprised.

But I can't shake the feeling

that the wrong person
has somehow been cast

in the role of the killer.

- I suppose you think you
know the right person?

- I wish I did.

It's all pointing to
Bubba right now. Mother!

- Hi, uh, hi, Lillian.

Can I talk to you a minute?

- Yeah, is everything okay?

- So I've been
thinking about Bubba,

and I remembered
that a few years ago

he asked me to find a
garage for him to rent

so that he could store
his boat, which I did.

And then he sold the boat.

But it was a four year lease.

He must still have the
keys to that garage.

- Do you think he
could be there now?

- I was gonna go
check on him myself,

but I lost my nerve.

Maybe if you could come with me?

- Wow, Mother, I'd think
you'd want Arthur to go.

- I know, but Bubba is
a good and loyal friend.

Please, I, I just wanna
talk to him first.

- Wow. First,
Sally, and now you.

- Okay, let me tell
Lillian I'm leaving early.

- Okay.

[gentle contemplative music]

[Aida sighs]

- [Aida] Here, let
me. Let me knock.

- Wha? Okay, bossy.

[knuckles banging]

- Bubba it's Aida.

Are you in there?

- Maybe he's not
in there after all.

- I don't hear anything.

- Do you wanna wait?

- I don't know if I'm
disappointed or relieved.

No, let's just go.

[door clanking]

[suspenseful music]

[gentle contemplative music]

Bubba, why in the world

are you holed up in
a place like this?

- You mean besides watching
my life go down in flames?

I just, [sighs]

I've been going through
my old correspondence

with Poppy and anyone
who had dealings with her

just looking for any red flags.

- You know the police
are looking for you?

- I know, but I just
needed some time

to go through this stuff.

And well, I've been
wrestling with my guilt.

- So it's true?

You, you killed Poppy?

- What? No, of course
I didn't kill Poppy.

For crying out loud, Aida,

that's not what I
feel guilty about.

Why don't you have a seat
and I'll tell you everything.

- No, no, I, I, I think I'd
rather hear this standing up.

- Look, Lizzy wasn't shy

about being jealous of Poppy,

so I told her to go ahead
and talk to her, you know?

Find out there's nothing
funny going on between us.

Well, that morning,

Lizzy told me that she
planned to go by Poppy's house

after she got off
work to talk to her.

And I was fine with that,

but as the day wore on,

I, I just just started to worry.

So when Judge Henderson
called the recess,

well, I drove to Poppy's house.

I got there right in time
to see Lizzy leaving,

so I thought, you know,

"Great, they must
have talked it out."

So I went back to
the courthouse.

- And stopped to
get gas on the way.

- It wasn't until I heard
that Poppy had been killed,

and I saw that Lizzy's steak
knife set had a knife missing,

that I thought,

"What if it was Lizzy?"

- Well, did you ask
her if she did it?

- Well, it's not all that simple

when you're a month away
from getting married.

I mean, I knew most
likely it wasn't her,

but can you imagine
if she thought

that I even suspected her?

- Yeah, she could get offended
and call the wedding off.

- Then you see the problem.

Look, I just wanted some time

to go through all
this stuff on my own.

So I took the knife
set so the police

wouldn't jump to any
hasty conclusions

until I could prove
beyond a shadow of a doubt

that Lizzy had nothing to
do with Poppy's murder.

And then I realized how guilty
that could make me look.

And I thought of other things
that can make me look guilty,

like the gas receipt
that placed me

right near the
scene of the crime,

which I knew was in my pocket
before I went to your house

to pay my respects to Marv.

- So you broke into my house?

- I'm so sorry, Aida.

I'll pay for any
damage I caused,

just I was just in
a state of panic.

And I wasn't thinking clearly.

And I hope you can forgive me.

- No, [chuckling]
don't be ridiculous.

No, no harm done.

And clearly you
were under stress.

- Thank you.

Well, that's why I'm here.

I'm just trying to get clear.

See if I can come
up with any leads

on who really did kill Poppy,

but I swear to
you, it wasn't me.

And I really believe
it wasn't Lizzy either.

- So do I,

but you have to turn
yourself in and trust

that Arthur is gonna figure
out what really happened.

[gentle contemplative music]

So Arthur showed up,
read him his rights,

and they took him
off to the station.

- Wow, I hope Bubba's telling
the truth and it's not him.

- Well, I don't know.

You don't run if
you're not guilty

unless he spent all
night in that garage

trying to figure out if
he should take the fall

for his girlfriend or not?

- It's not Lizzy.

- She's not left-handed,
but Jason has a point.

If it wasn't Bubba

then we still don't know who-

- Excuse me.

I need to get to
the coffee machine

Thank you.

[Dustin clears throat]

- So is anyone still
up for coming over

and going through
that list again,

see if we missed anything?

- Um, no can do.

I told Cara I'd help her
with a video this afternoon.

- Aw, that's sweet.

- Well, I'm up for it.

Just give me a call
when you're ready.

- I'd still keep an eye
on your cousin, Lizzy,

if I were you.

- Excuse me.

[uneasy music]

- He's the one I'm gonna
be keeping my eye on.

[gentle contemplative music]

[gentle playful music]

- Okay.

- Hey. Hi.

Uh, Mother, I'll be
back in an hour or so.

- Oh no, no, no.

Stay and watch Cara's video.

- Oh. Well, so this is you've
been working on with Cara?

- It's a tribute to Poppy
for their YouTube channel.

- I really couldn't have
done it without him.

All right, okay.

[poignant music]

- [Aida] Oh.

[Aida sighs]

[Aida chuckles]

♪ I can't help but
traveling down ♪

♪ Memory lane

♪ A taste of life of precious

- Like so many
who've messaged me,

Poppy's death makes
me feel robbed

of a beautiful light in my life,

but it also makes me feel lucky

to have known such
a creative talent.

I have a new friend
who convinced me today

that Poppy wouldn't
want her dream to end.

So I'm gonna carry
on with our work.

I am gonna finish our book.

I am gonna make more videos

of all the creative
projects and designs

that we were so
excited to do together.

Stay tuned.

♪ Goodbye my friend

[Jason sighs]

- Oh, that was lovely, Kara,

well done.
- Thank you.

- Ah, thank you.

It does my heart good to
know that Poppy's creativity

is going to live on.

- And so will her
wonderful designs.

- So you're all right if I
upload this video tonight?

- That would be wonderful.

- Okay. Well, um,
we should get going.

- Thanks for coming by.

- Bye, thank you.

- It's great seeing you.
- Thanks a lot.

Thank you.
- Thank you.

- Whew, wow.

[uneasy music]

- Marv, isn't that
a different logo

than Poppy's other videos,

the logo from the company
she started with you?

- Well, so it is.

- Well, Cara just said

that she's going to
continue on her own.

We're okay with that.

- I gotta go.

- [Aida] Wait, what?

[Aida chuckling]

- This is from the
coroner's office.

Oh, sorry. Is that Lynn?

- Yeah.

- Hey, Chief.

- Officer Heard says, "Hi."

Anyway, we got a pretty
strong case against Bubba.

Of course, he's denying it,

but his prints
were at the scene,

he lied about his alibi.

The knife set was
hidden in his office.

We've got the photos
of him with Poppy,

and we spoke with the
P.I. who took them.

The coroner told us before

the stab wound was
four inches long,

which is consistent
with the length

of the knives in Lizzy's set.

Of course, I'd feel a lot better

if I actually had the knife.

[Arthur sighs]

There is one thing
that's bugging me though.

Bubba isn't left-handed.

- But Cara talked like she
made the decision today

to continue the
business without Poppy,

but she already
had her logo made?

- So she's been thinking
about it awhile.

- Okay. Here it is.

This is the video
that Poppy showed me.

[gentle uneasy music]

See, this logo is different
from the one I just saw.

- With another great way
you can use embroidery

to make your wardrobe pop.

- [Aurora] I wanna look
at Cara more carefully.

Okay, here's the part where Cara

demonstrates what
Poppy's saying.

[ominous music]

[Sally gasps]

- Cara's left-handed.

[ominous music]

- We should make
a toast to Poppy.

- Yeah, we should.

That would be nice.

- Uh, corkscrew.

- Oh, uh, in that drawer.

[Jason chutting]

Did you find it?

- Weird scissors.
[ominous music]

[scissors clang]

- [Poppy] I know Cara
uses hers all the time.

[Cara chuckles]

Now what I've done is
I've just printed off

a few different patterns from-

- Quick! Look!

It's a serrated blade.

A blade that's about the
same length as a steak knife.

I gotta call Jason.

[phone ringing]

- [chuckling] I, I've never
seen scissors like this before.

It's like they're serrated.

- Really? Yeah, every
seamstress has a pair like that.

[ominous music]

[phone beeping]

- Hey, Roe, I'm at Cara's.

I just found...
[bottle thuds]

[Jason thuds]

- Jason!

[bottle clanks]

What's happening? Jason!

[phone beeps]

He's in trouble.

Okay, call Arthur,

tell him that we think Cara's
the one that killed Poppy,

and tell him Jason's with
her and he's in danger.

- I'll call.

- [Aida] Where are you going?

- I'm only three blocks
from Cara's place.

I'll get there faster
than the police.

- Okay, well you can't go alone.

- Yes, okay, I understand.

[suspenseful music]

- Oh, excuse me.

Sorry. I'm coming.

Whoosh. I'm coming.

Fully almost fell.

[suspenseful music]

[Jason groaning]

- Thank you.
[ominous music]

You have no idea how mad
I am at myself right now.

Why did I put those
scissors back in the drawer

after I washed them?

After everything was going
so well, no one suspected me.

[Jason groans]

That's one good thing

about being a non-entity
to most people.

No one thinks you'd do something

so crazy as to kill someone.

My best friend didn't give
me credit for anything I did.

Even my own best friend
treated me as an afterthought.

She had no problem
sucking in all the money

while I did most of the work.

But then I found out how
much money that was gonna be.

I had a problem with that.

So I fixed that problem.

[ominous music]

And now, you're a problem
I'm gonna have to fix.

[scissors clanging]

[suspenseful music]

Which is too bad 'cause
I really did like you.

[ominous music]

[Cara grunts]
[ominous music]

[both grunting]

- Jay! Jason!
[knuckles banging]

[Jason grunting]

- [Sally] Oh, Roe, be careful.

[both grunting]

[window smashes]
[ominous music]

- [Aurora] Cara.

- What do you
think you're doing?

- Cara, you have to stop.

- This doesn't concern you.

[both grunting]

[Cara thuds]

- Police! Freeze!

[gun clicking]

Cara, put your hands up.

[Cara whimpering]

You can put the
chair down now, Roe.

[chair clanks]

- I think you'll find the
murder weapon over there.

- You're under arrest for
the murder of Poppy Wilson.

- Jason, you okay?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- Roe, are you okay?

- Yeah, let's get
you to the hospital,

and get your head checked down.

[gentle tense music]

[sweet contemplative music]

- Oof, oh Roe, what
have you got in here?

Books or cement?

- [Aurora] What? Hey,
you're holding up traffic.

- [Jason] It's fine.

- Whoa, whoa,
whoa. There you go.

- You guys, thank you.

I really appreciate your help.

- It's the least we
could do. [chuckles]

You helped us out of
some pretty hot water.

- You definitely did.

We did find the missing
steak knife, by the way.

Yeah, it had just gone
under the refrigerator.

- Oh.

- But we have
decided to make you

an honorary bridesmaid, Roe.

- Yeah, I told her how
much you love wearing

a bridesmaid's dress.

[Lizzy chuckling]

- Oh, If I didn't have
to spend so much time

worrying about you I'd,

I'd have more time to tell you

about how proud I am of you.

- Oh, thank you, Mother.

- Mmm.

Was about to say
I'll see you at home,

but you're already
home aren't you?

- Mm-hmm.
- Way to keep up,

old man.

- Oy, I need to get
back in the gym.

- You know, I had
felt alone when Martin

told me he may not
be coming back.

- Oh, Roe.

- But I'm not alone.

- Oh no, you're not.

- I have a great
mother, great friends.

I have a job I love,

and a brand new house.

I'm feeling pretty lucky.

[all chuckling]

- Okay.

- Okay.
- Let's go.
