I would be delighted to attend yours and Davey's wedding. Thank you for your

kindness, sparing me a wedding nightmare.

What? Not inviting me to yours.

I did invite you. If a person like me was to go to the wedding of a person

Glenn, what would that mean? I expect it would mean they were gracious.

Thank you for inviting me to your wedding. I would be delighted to attend.

Glenn, it won't be a nightmare. This one will be perfect.

Welcome and blessing.

My name is John C.

Shiva, and I honor you all for taking the time out of your busy schedule to be

here tonight so we can together come closer to knowing ourselves.

Thank you for inviting me here to guide this work.

Thank you, John C.

These are very special moments for me and for our company.

I'm so grateful that you're all here to open your minds to new possibilities at

Bestie. And to work on growing our subscriber base.

Before we begin, I would like each of you to share your intentions for

this ceremony.

Aisha?

I guess I'm just super...

Excited to get closer to these amazing women that I'm really lucky to work for.

We're Asia.

We're family.

Scott? This isn't really my thing, but it's nice to be out of my coding cave.

A few little UX bugs that I'd like to nut out while I'm here.

Hopefully this helps.

And now the wild women who lead you.

Brooklyn.

Andy? Well, like most of Brooklyn's ideas, I thought these ceremonies were a

little out there.

But every time we make incredible new discoveries that we can implement.

And that's what my intention is.

New insights.

Andy and I are deeply committed to this ceremony.

Because here, we connect to our hearts.

Connect to each other.

And find love.

So true, Brooklyn.

Now I have sealed the energy in this sacred place where we remain until

sunrise.

Blessings upon this medicine and blessings upon each of you

as you embark on this journey of transformation.

And I'm going back now.

Bye.

It doesn't feel intentional, Andy.

We are doing the right thing. I promise.

I trust you.

I trust you.

Estes.

Estes.

All right.

An awakened.

Wow.

Aisha.

Angel.

Oh, what happened?

You did the work.

You did the work.

Andy.

Seriously, this is the first time she's slept past me.

Mandy!

Awaken!

Hold on.

Big Tim is Andy Ross, 33.

Hair up.

No water.

She's the CEO of Bestie.

What's Bestie?

You don't know?

All right, yeah, makes sense.

It's a dating app. Oh, what?

You've been matched with Joel.

Swipe, swipe, turns out. Oh, he's already got six girlfriends, that sort

thing.

It's a bit more than that.

Feeding users the promise of happily ever after while deliberately keeping

single so they keep paying for a weekly subscription.

That sort of thing.

Romantic. Haven't showered, Colin. Not in the mood.

There was a ceremony that took place overnight.

How long?

I'd estimate she's been dead between two to four hours.

What sort of ceremony?

Team building, actually.

Involving some sort of hallucinogenic tea.

They all drank from it. All four of them.

But Andy Roth didn't make it through.

Do we know why?

There were signs of vomit in her mouth.

And blue lip.

Cuts here.

On her fingernails.

Thesia.

Vomiting, blue lip.

All on the bingo card for poison.

I have to run the talks to confirm what it is.

Looks like a contract.

Or the signature page of one, anyway.

Andy Roth.

Brooklyn Limb.

Yeah. What's the rest of it?

I haven't seen any of the paperwork around.

How's it looking, Glenn?

I've done all I can here.

I'll get her back to the lab and get straight on to it.

Hey, yeah.

Can you believe she's never had a bestie?

I would believe that, actually.

Doesn't have a profile.

Shocked. Not really the type. Can you say that again?

Sorry.

Why?

Why am I not the type?

Yeah, why is she not the type, then?

Because I'm new on a dating app.

Why couldn't I be on a dating app?

Come on, Mac. What, Glenn?

Am I not charming?

Am I not an engaging conversationalist?

Do I not deserve love?

No, you do deserve love. Yeah, well, then what are you saying, Glenn?

Yeah. Why are you saying that?

I could absolutely be on a dating app if I wanted to be.

Sorry.

Bestie isn't just a dating app.

It's a heart -centered business.

And you are?

Brooklyn Lim.

CEO.

Co -CEO.

I founded the app with Andy, my best friend.

Do you recognise it?

Looks like some kind of contract.

It has yours and Andy's signature on it. Dated yesterday.

Oh, we did a lot of paperwork before the ceremony. It probably belongs to one of

our suppliers.

It came off somehow.

Scott Forbes, chief tech officer. I built the app.

You're a cop.

That's bad.

You're all right.

Okay. And this is?

Ayesha Barra, Andy's assistant.

She's not quite herself yet.

Can you tell us about this ceremony?

We come here every six months to work on ideas by opening our minds with... The

medicine. Medicine?

A natural herbal tea with mind -expanding properties that we use to

perspective so we can gain deeper insight into who we are and who we are

of becoming.

This is Jancy.

She's our guide.

And where does the medicine come from?

I prepare it with the native berries that are foraged into hills. What type

berries? Lunar berries, the natural.

That's what Andy drank.

We all drank it. And it comes from the big bowl thing.

The gourd.

Yes. I ladle the medicine from the gourd into the bowl.

You handed Andy a bowl?

No. I filled them. I need to journey. I took one. Assigned to them?

No, no, no. It was random.

Random.

Yeah, and then John C sent us back to our map.

How close? Close enough to touch?

No.

Then what?

Then we all drank it.

And then the half moon descended from the sky and it fell into the fire.

We'll take her in, look after her until she's served it up. So... So the tea...

Medicine.

It all comes from the same big bowl.

The gourd.

Into the bowls at random?

Yes. This is how Andy wants it. She checked over everything on the balcony

the morning of the ceremony.

What about before the ceremony? Do you know if she ate or drank anything?

No. We all fast for a day beforehand.

Of course you do.

Sorry, why are you asking all these questions?

Because she was poisoned.

Poisoned?

How?

Because of me.

Oh, it's all because of me.

It's my fault.

I killed her. I must have put a poisonous berry in the medicine.

Oh, my God, Ed.

I took a lot.

Do you think you put a poisonous berry into the tea?

Medicine? What other explanation is there? No, no, because the tea...

It all comes from the same big bowl.

The God? And the rest of them, they're fine.

So you don't think I didn't kill her?

Well, can't exactly say at the moment.

Having said that, what happened to the accident?

You told me you were European.

Hardly the kind of trip she was after.

I know. It wasn't a trip. It was a trap.

Andy didn't eat or drink anything before the ceremony, so the poison had to be

in the tea.

Maybe the killer put the poison in Andy's bowl before the tea went in?

No, because the bowls were taken at random. There's no way the killer could

known in advance which one Andy would take.

They all drank the same drink, but only Andy was poisoned.

How did the killer do it?

Andy Roth.

Co -CEO of Bestie. Oh, that's the dating app. Mm -hmm. How do you know what it

is?

I told you.

Everyone knows about it. If you're curious, I can set you up a profile.

Ooh, absolutely not.

Fair play.

I'm actually off the apps for the time being.

I mean, need a bit of a break. Be more present.

Amen to that.

Oh.

Um, still getting matches, though?

You've got to stay in the game.

Well, what's wrong with meeting people IRL?

That means in real life.

We all know what it means.

Anyway, somehow Andy was poisoned during a team -building exercise that involved

drinking tea infused with psychedelic berries.

The signature page of a contract signed by both Andy and Brooklyn Lem was in

Andy's pocket. What's it for?

They're trying to figure that out.

Well, Beth is worth a mint. Last year, they got a $35 million offer to sell to

big tech company.

Why didn't they?

Well, according to the tech press, Brooklyn Limb co -CEO said she and Andy

in it for love, not money.

All right, who else have we got here?

What, Forbes? Did their tech die?

Records clean, except for a drug driving charge. Was pulled over after the last

ceremony. Still high, apparently.

You'll get the full report on that?

Yeah. No, I'm trying to pay, all right? The machine won't take my money.

Yeah, still yet to talk to Aisha Abara and his assistant.

We need to figure out what she meant when she said the half moon descended

the sky.

Not in a state to mean anything.

Any news on the poison?

Still waiting on talks.

Oh, well, I'll get her a tea. The Earl Grey kind?

No, I can get it.

Oh, keen, aren't we? I'll get the tea.

This is the location that John Z. Shiva said she foraged for berries.

See what you can find. I can stay here if you want, you know, keep an eye on

Aisha. We'll handle the Aisha situation.

Yeah, we'll just keep the vibes chill for her because she is still readjusted.

Reggie, this is a police station. We do not do chill vibes.

Well, play her those pan pipes on your phone. Reggie, Reggie.

Mac, you want to see this?

Something's just fallen out of Aisha's jacket pocket.

Sleeping pills.

Sorry.

The half moon descended from the sky and fell into the fire.

What did you mean by that?

Wait, I said that?

Mm -hmm.

Not sure, just nonsense, I guess.

Is it normal for assistants to go on these retreats?

Well, you get invited to the ceremony if Andy trusts you. So, for me, it was

basically like a promotion.

Andy's very clear about it. If you're in, you're in. You're drinking the tea.

Andy made sure of it. She literally fired her last assistant for trying to

out of it. And the one before that as well.

Sounds like Andy was difficult.

Right. Because all women in power are difficult.

Look, Andy was a hustler.

But that's just the industry that we're in. Tech is brutal. Their hours are non

-stop. You don't get to see your family and friends.

You don't have time for a relationship. Sometimes you work so hard that you

don't even know what day it is. You wouldn't get it, but it's tough.

Yeah, I guess I wouldn't get it.

I mean, how do you go? You just find a way.

Is that the way?

They were in your jacket.

They're legal, by the way. Like, they're prescription.

Honestly, it's the price that you pay if you want to succeed.

And Andy did.

Honestly, I couldn't have asked for a better mentor.

Call something.

Andy's lawyers say they were planning to sell Bestie. Brooklyn said they were in

it for love, not money. But it turns out even love has a price, and it's 35

million. They sent over their contract.

Mackenzie.

Hmm? over the contract?

Yeah. This has to be the one that Andy had on her.

And, get this, Brooklyn's perfect marriage was so important to the bestie

there was a clause in the sale agreement saying she has to maintain her marriage

or the sale is cancelled.

It's romantic.

Stay married or lose your half of 35 million.

Not even half.

The money goes 80 -20 in Andy's favour.

I thought they were co -founders.

They were.

Why would Brooklyn agree to that?

Andy got you to sign it during the ceremony, didn't she? When you were

That's why we found it in her pocket.

It wasn't Andy's fault.

She's on a journey with the medicine.

Funny you didn't remember this when we spoke to you earlier.

Well, it was a very unbalancing night.

Maybe Andy knew exactly what she was doing.

Found a precise moment to manipulate you into signing away Bessie and reducing

your share to just 20%. Leaving you with a very ungenerous bit of a sale.

If Andy was poisoned, it was given to her at the start of the ceremony before

she asked me to sign anything.

It's not like Andy and I haven't discussed sale offers before.

Or you signed this document because you knew that Andy was going to die and you

wouldn't have to go through with it. That's not true.

She was my best friend.

We trusted each other.

Okay, I signed it because Andy said it was the right thing to do for us to

Was it the right thing to cut your share in half?

That was a business decision.

You know, for tax reasons.

Tax reasons?

That was Andy's side of the business. So, um... I trusted her.

And what's going to happen with the sale now?

I can't think about business.

You know, I've lost the most important person in my life.

What about your husband?

What about him?

Oh, not important to you.

No, no, no.

Of course he is.

You know, our relationship was the very beginning of Bethy.

Charlie and I met at the Bolo.

There was no spark.

I wanted to leave, but Andy, she said, I have a

feeling about that guy.

And when Charlie and I, we talked until dawn and agreed to get married by

breakfast, I knew she was right.

I mean, that's what Bethy's always been about.

It's about helping you find...

The type of person that your best friend would pick for you.

There's a clause in the contract that says you have to remain married or the

sale is void.

Lucky I love him then.

Because when you find your person, you just know everything's going to be okay.

I've been through the office. Anything?

Very fancy, but not really.

And Andy's tablet there. A bit battered.

And this?

Oh, yeah, and that.

What's that? Is that a poster?

Yeah.

From the Royale.

It was under Andy's keyboard and... the number 14's written on it.

Hmm.

Why would she keep a thing like that?

That is a good question.

Any luck foraging along Johnsy's route?

Zero poisonous berries. Plenty of lunos, though. Yeah.

So, we can rule out anything going in by accident.

It was deliberate.

What's that?

Oh, that is the content of the shredder.

We're on it.

You've got to be joking.

No lead, I'm afraid. Purely a fishing expedition.

That's OK.

Come on, Colin.

Talk to them.

You don't think it's interesting that they shredded documents leading up to

ceremony? No.

Get your glue stick, Miss Rocco.

Okay, I've tested the tea in the gourd and the remnants in each of the four

bowls. There are no berries.

Yep. We found some.

A native berry with psychedelic properties.

Which explains Aisha seeing the half moon descend into the fire.

Completely out of it. She still said it.

But they're not poisonous, not really in any quantity.

So what's the poison?

Amatoxin. It was in her tox as well as the lunobaries and traces in the bowl

drank from.

What's amatoxin?

Mushrooms.

Mushrooms?

Most likely. I'll make sure when the tox comes back.

Is that a...

Bestie notification.

No.

It's just a message.

Carry on.

Would you shut up?

We done?

We're done. Yep.

Yes, I signed up for the case, but now the thing was beeping at me.

Colin, all these men.

Why is he holding a fish?

Why are you holding a fish? Why is he holding a fish?

That is a huge fish, though.

Fair play.

Um, is that your police headshot?

Oh, a match.

Why? What? Why? Why? No, I don't match with anyone. Why am I matching with

someone? Well, Dustin, 32, Capricorn is messaging you.

He's a plumber.

He's in Dolphin Cove and he's free for a drink tonight.

Seems nice. Also, no fish. Okay, haha.

I'm not meeting Justin.

Dustin.

What's the harm?

Maybe you could take this opportunity to... What?

Make someone new.

Have a good time.

Be nice.

Fine.

What do I say?

Sounds great.

Just type it.

Absolutely ever after all, mate.

This is actually quite meditative, isn't it?

Mindful. You know, like you can let your brain just wander.

Lunar berries in all four bowls, as expected. And in one of them, what Glenn

thinks is some sort of amytoxin. Oh, amytoxin.

It's from a poisonous mushroom.

Oh, you want to be careful foraging up there.

Did they see you when you were up there? No, but they're there for sure.

Mum always had a blanket rule for mushrooms.

Leave them alone.

Oh, police report on Scott has come through.

Here we go.

Driving while intoxicated after the last ceremony six months ago.

Admittedly ingested lunar berries the night before. Yeah, that checks out.

But someone else was in the car with him.

Yeah.

Andy Ross.

She gave a statement, said she never ingested mind -altering substances.

Uh, they tested her.

She was clean.

What? She was committed to these ceremonies. Her tox came back positive.

I don't know.

They did these ceremonies together.

Andy was militant in making sure they all participated.

Ayesha told us so.

How could Andy be clean when Scott tested positive the morning after? I

went through Bessie's expenses.

Nothing out of the ordinary, but... Brooklyn has a lot of pricey lunches

in account HR.

Human Resources taking the staff out.

They were about to make a lot of money.

It is criminal how much these dating apps are making off people.

$8 .99 a week for a busy subscription.

In my day, you just went up to someone you thought looked all right and, you

know, gave them a compliment.

You can't go up to a woman on the street and compliment her.

It's harassment.

Well, since when has flirting been harassment?

Okay. How are we getting along with these?

Oh, good. I have finished the full sentence.

That one.

Uh, equity, restaurant, croissant. Yeah, well, it's almost finished.

Mine's some sort of paperwork deal thing, I think.

Okay, well, let me know when you find something.

Sure. I just don't feel like I'm getting anywhere with it.

Well, we can't solve it all at once.

Right, well, I'm knocking off. I've got quite a lot.

I'm going to keep going.

What about your basketball game?

It's fine.

What?

Shouldn't you... What?

Are you getting ready?

Ready for what?

If you say anything, I will kill you.

To go home, have a well -balanced meal and continue working on the case.

Right. I'm just saying, it might have been quite nice if you'd have, you know,

got changed.

Changed into what, Colin?

This is all I have.

I can't even shower.

I might.

Grab a stool.

You want to be?

Absolutely.

Can I get you a drink back?

No, thank... You just...

You're just going to stand there?

Yes. Yes, I am.

Matt's got a date. Don't, don't.

Say that.

Hooking up on Bestie? Don't say hooking up. Good on you for putting yourself out

there. I feel that people only say that to people who shouldn't be putting

themselves out there. No, they don't. Do they, Glenn?

No. It's great.

Good on you.

Is that him?

My word.

He's a lot better looking than his photos.

Look at those eyebrows.

Go on.

Go on.

Mackenzie.

That is I.

How are you doing?

You look great.

Love the waistcoat.

Thank you.

Drink? Sure.

How good is this?

He's a plumber.

Hi, mate. How's it going?

Yeah, good. How are you?

What would you like?

There you go.

Don't worry.

She does that to me all the time.

What did you

get?

Equity investment paid out after minimum employment.

I don't know what that means, but I think it's something.

It means someone was about to get money.

But who?

Is this Scott Forbes' deal?

His employment deal. I think so.

Huh.

Hmm.

Hey, Luke.

Well done.

Is it too late to make the basketball game?

I can make the second half.

Hey, have a good game.

You left your jacket.

What about Dustin?

Who?

Oh, well, he'll be fine.

This is what the apps have done to us.

People don't see people for people anymore, just...

Swipes. I'm in Andy's emails. She sends them at all hours.

2am, 3am. She worked non -stop.

Ooh, sounds familiar.

Well, she did, till a few weeks ago. I wonder if it changed.

What are you looking for?

Oh, uh, Scott gets equity and bestie.

So I search their emails to each other. It's hard to make out. They don't put

much detail in writing. But it seems like Andy was trying to force Scott out.

Why would she do that?

Because, according to his deal, he doesn't get that equity until his

reaches a certain date. If you sack him, you don't have to pay it.

Well, that could be worth millions.

I wasn't happy. Take this from me and you'll regret it.

Is that a threat?

Not a compliment.

We're going to go talk to him about it.

First thing in the morning.

Amazing, isn't it?

You have an idea, build an app, suddenly it's worth $35 million.

Amazing.

Are you, uh... Are you OK?

I just want to have a hot shower, but I still can't fix it.

Did you get Glenn to do a test on Andy's hair?

Yeah, he'll call us when he has something. Can I ask, um, why?

Scott Forbes.

Sorry.

If you don't log it, it didn't happen.

Want to come through?

Was Andy trying to fire you?

What? Well, you're due to get equity in the company in a couple of weeks, aren't

you?

So?

If you take this from me, you'll regret it.

That was an email that you wrote to her. Was she trying to get rid of you so you

wouldn't get your shares?

No.

Andy and I had a chat about my role in the company, sure.

But that's totally normal.

What would she regret taking from you?

We were talking about renegotiating some of the deal. It got a little bit spicy.

But again, that's totally normal.

And then we came to an agreement. I stayed on.

Now it'll be easy to get your equity, won't it?

I don't know what you're saying.

Andy wants to sack you so you wouldn't get your shares.

You threatened her.

Now she's dead.

And when the sale goes through, you'll get a big piece.

She already agreed to keep me on, so I'd get my money regardless. Then why shred

those? Because Andy asked me to.

When a company's for sale, a potential buyer does what we call a vibe check.

Sniffs around, see if everything's in order.

Andy wasn't.

No, it was fine.

It was just dotting the I's.

Andy had high standards, that's all.

Do you recognise this?

It's a coaster.

So what?

That's what we need for now.

Is Colin coming?

Yes, he is just giving a safety lecture to some kid without a helmet.

So, uh, your date?

Dustin. Dustin.

Dustin. Right.

Not your type, or...?

You seem very interested.

I'm just making conversation.

Unbelievable. They tear around on those things, 30 Ks an hour, bored under their

arm, no helmet on, they're going to kill themselves.

I'm putting my foot down.

Oh, and his hair first.

It's done.

Before we talk results, why do you want me to do this exactly?

She started sleeping.

She was emailing 24 -7 and then, like that, she's getting eight hours.

Yeah, because she was taking sedatives.

What sort of sedatives?

Dimazopam in Andy's hair test.

Andy had fired eight assistants in the last two years.

Any idea why?

No.

This prescription is from two weeks ago, and that's... Yeah, it's about half

empty. He must be taking three a night?

Four, maybe.

Oh, and here's something.

Andy's toxicology shows that she was also a very heavy user.

Despite having no prescription.

Andy emailed you day and night, she hardly slept, and then suddenly she's

emailing during the day. Why's that?

I don't know.

Do you know what I think?

I think you were worked to the bone, you needed a break, so you drugged her with

your sleeping pills.

Okay, Andy was a monster.

Right, you don't understand.

She wouldn't stop. She was so unhinged. She would literally throw things at

people. And not small things, either.

Her tablet.

It was broken.

Yeah, look.

A couple days ago.

And it wasn't even my fault. She just found out that Brooklyn was charging,

like, expensive lunches to besties.

HR lunches. Whatever, I don't know.

Surely. Bestie can afford a lunch or two. Right? But no, Andy had to be in

control of absolutely everything.

Especially Brooklyn. Kept her so -called bestie on a leash.

The only reason that Brooklyn was allowed to have the stupid ceremonies

because it was... Well, it was where she came up with the company's best ideas.

Okay, so why go to the ceremonies if you hated her so much?

Girl, you'd think I had a choice.

Times are tough, all right? I need this job. And you knew you were the next

assistant on the chopping block, and so you killed her.

No, no!

I...

No, I just put the sleeping pills in her tea so that she wouldn't work me all

night long. I was crashing out from the exhaustion.

What would you do?

Even if I used a deep poison, Andy...

We don't know how she did it. We don't know how any of them did it. We don't

know how the killer got the poison in the bowl.

And they must have, because it wasn't in the tea they all drank, and it couldn't

have been in her bowl beforehand.

Because they all took a bowl at random in the half moon.

Descended from the sky and fell into the pile.

Oh, yeah. I'm pondering that day and night.

Hey, here we go.

Thank you.

He hung around for an hour, you know.

Who?

Your date.

Dustin. Right.

She seemed very keen.

Debbie? Oh, yeah, I thought so.

Oh, how are the dress fitters going?

Ah, slowly.

Everyone wants me in something traditional, but it doesn't feel right

know?

Is that Brooklyn?

What?

How much is that bottle worth?

$110. I know. I sell it, and even I think it's ridiculous.

I went Brooklyn and made a cool bottle of expensive champagne.

Sorry, sorry. Get out of my way.

And there were two glasses.

One of them hadn't been... One of those glasses hadn't been poured yet.

Maybe she was meeting someone. Someone she didn't want us to see. So the

question is, who?

What was Brooklyn paying you for?

Oh, we don't have to be anywhere.

Did she pay you to poison Andy?

I didn't poison anyone.

Only a few days ago you confessed to accidentally killing her.

And I was wrong.

She was paying me to conduct the ceremony.

A lot of cash for a drug ceremony.

Spiritual ceremony.

I am an internationally trained spiritualist. Yes, we heard the accent.

We're going to go in there in a few minutes and talk to Brooklyn and she's

to tell us her side of the story. So why don't you tell us your version before

she stitches you up?

Fine.

The newspaper was going to pay me as an anonymous tell -all source.

Tech mogul murdered in spiritual ceremony.

Why didn't they?

I had some questions about the fee.

You thought you could get more money from Brooklyn not to tell the story.

We've all got bills.

Blackmail.

Effectively, yes.

I was paying her to stop her going to the press.

Paying her well too, as you can see.

Why was it worth so much to you?

The sale.

You're still pushing it through.

I thought you were too bereft, too mired in grief. I was desperate.

Desperate to get your full share?

Oh, which you now will with Andy at the Picture. This wasn't about the sale.

I did it to save Bessie's reputation.

This wonderful vision that we'd built together.

I did it for Andy.

My bestie.

Andy, clearly very difficult to work for under even more pressure to sell the

company for huge sums of money.

Gets her supposed bestie to sign away half of her share while under the

influence. Brooklyn swears to us.

Not about the money, but she is still pushing the sale, although now that

dead, she will get her full share.

Andy works her assistant so hard, I each have to drug her so she can sleep.

Andy also tries to force Scott out so he never gets his equity.

What a nice person.

Still doesn't deserve to be murdered.

We've got a twist for you here, folks.

We took a break from pasting and Groover here had the bright idea to drop into

the Royale and tie up the coast to mystery.

I thought it was a bit weird that Andy was there when, according to her diary

and phone, she didn't have any meetings there. But I think she was following

someone. Who?

Scott Forbes.

He used to stay there twice a week, regular clockwork. Why?

When he doesn't live far away.

Well, maybe he was evicted from his dream house.

Twice.

He was meeting someone. Who?

Brooklyn Lim.

They're having an affair.

Used to. You said used to. Used to stay there.

Twice a week.

Oh, but stopped last week. Cancelled all of his bookings.

What's bestie all about?

Keeping people on the hook for $8 .99 a week.

Love.

True love.

bestie is all about finding true love so what if what if that's what this is all

about we have been looking at money contracts but what we haven't been

looking at is love

when you find your person

Half moon descended from the sky and fell into the fire. She told us exactly

it happened. We just couldn't see it.

Everyone wants to fall in love.

It's what bestie's all about, isn't it?

Helping everyone find their happily ever after for just $8 .99 a week.

And that's what this murder came down to.

Love.

But the question that we couldn't answer was, how did the killer manage to

poison only Andy?

Well, they didn't.

Andy poisoned herself.

Four bowls for four people taken at random. At least that's what it looked

You told us that the morning of the ceremony, Andy went to the balcony to

sure everything was in order.

Andy really went down to hide another identical bowl filled with her own

innocuous herbal tea.

Why would she do that?

Well, Andy never took psychedelics.

Yes,

she did.

Her drug test was clean the last time you all did this.

And from what we learned about Andy, she had to be in control, so she never took

anything on your retreat.

Though it was convenient for her to make you think she did so she could trick

you into signing away Bestie while you were under the influence. We are doing

the right thing. The killer was the only person who knew that Andy never took

psychedelics.

Me?

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

You got pulled over the last time you did this.

Tested positive. But the person in the car with you didn't.

Andy.

What you didn't know was how she managed to avoid it. So you followed her that

morning. You watched Andy hide a second bowl containing no psychedelics.

And then spiked the hidden bowl with the poison and luno berries as cover.

Then during the ceremony, Andy made sure she was first in line, so she had just

enough time to swap out the bowl that Johnsy gave her with the hidden bowl,

which she thought was filled with her harmless herbal tea, but actually

contained the poison that would kill her.

And then all you had to do was sit back and watch as Andy unwittingly poisoned

herself after she destroyed the bowl she took from Johnsy.

Or almost destroyed it, Constable Wilkinson.

Ayesha's half moon.

But why?

Exactly.

No reason.

This doesn't make sense at all.

A couple of days ago, Andy flew into a rage when she found out that Brooklyn

charging expensive champagne lunches to the bestie account.

Lunches marked as...

HR, which stands for... Human resources.

So close, but not at all.

Royale.

Hotel Royale.

Where Brooklyn and Scott were carrying on an affair in room 14, to be precise.

The Bestie brand is built on the story of your perfect marriage. It was crucial

that it remained perfect for the sale of Bestie to go through, stay married

or... $35 million would disappear, and Andy wasn't going to let that happen.

And that's what a bestie is for, isn't it? To tell you the right thing to do.

Andy loved telling you what to do.

You never did anything without her permission.

She made you end the affair.

But that was the easy bit.

Because Andy could control Brooklyn.

She chose your husband for you.

You, Scott.

You were the problem. So Andy was going to fire you. Your email to her, it was a

threat. Take this from me and you'll regret it.

But it wasn't the money she was trying to take from you.

It was Brooklyn.

But choose love and you wouldn't get your shares.

So you capitulated.

Chose the money, stayed at Bestie. You were forced to work with the woman you

hated.

And with the woman you loved but couldn't have.

Well, was it that you said Brooklyn?

You just know that everything's going to be okay.

We thought you were talking about your husband, but it was Scott.

And you, Scott, knew that Brooklyn would never go against Andy's wishes. While

Andy was alive, you and Brooklyn, you could never be together, and so you

poisoned her.

I'm sorry, but this is pure fiction.

Is it as fictional as your running route?

You run every day, don't you?

If you don't log it, it didn't happen.

Here's your route.

Balcony, bowl.

Do you know what else we found along that running route?

The poisonous mushrooms you went to find when you realised what Andy was going

to do.

And that you then put in Andy's hidden bowl.

Brilliant, really.

You got Andy to poison herself and destroy the proof.

And all for love.

A love powerful enough to kill for.

That's worth $8 .99 a week, surely.

Scott Forbes, you're under arrest for the murder of Andy Ross.

That isn't for you.

That isn't for us.

She was my best friend.

I'm so sorry.

I'm so sorry.

You don't have to say anything, but anything you do say may be used against

Take him away.

Please.

That's one and all. Hey, true love, you are never going to find it on your phone

if you ask me.

You've got to connect in person to see if they're right for you.

Aisha!

Go on, go down and give her a compliment.

I can't do that.

Why? Felix Arthur Wilkinson. It's not my middle name.

Go and talk to her like a person.

Look who else is in the house tonight.

Justin.

Dustin.

Might be a good chance to apologise for walking out on him.

Yes.

Yes.

It is a good chance, Colin.

Thank you. I am going to go and apologise to Dustin for my poor

A bestie always knows.

That's you, is it?

Well, who else is it going to be?

Noise is like a pressure issue.

See, you've probably got a loose pipe.

You can find the pipe and then tighten it.

That's it?

That's it.

You probably need someone to hold it steady. I'm happy to help.

No.

I think I can manage.

Thank you, Dustin.

What?

Wait, what?

Where are you going?

Mackenzie?

That's why my friend said that once you tighten it, it'll... Let's give it a go.

Brilliant, there we are.

Excellent.

Did you need help with something else?

No, that was the only two -person job.

Well, do you want to help pack me up?

I can do that.

Great.

Oh, did you want to stay and have a cup of tea?

Oh, no.

Thank you.

Great. Great.

Come on, you.

Come on. Good girl.

You are the only one that I need.
