♪

So, now you know you
don't have to rely on

store bought puff pastry or
even the expected recipe.

You all just made pie
crust from scratch

and it's gonna be a
wonderful surprise

for our fresh take
on an apple turnover.

And I love how versatile
apples can be, right?

I'm gonna come look
at all your stations.

How you doing, Willa?

These are so clever and I'm...

I love being able to say,
like, I made it from scratch.

Yeah. And I think it's great.

You're gonna use your fork
to crimp the edges together.

Okay.

What about the egg wash?

Oh, yes. Right. Okay.

Once you've assembled
your turnover,

you wanna use your egg
wash to gently brush

the outside of the dough.

That's gonna help it
brown in the oven.

And don't forget that you
wanna use a very sharp knife

to create some vents that
allow the steam to escape.

All right. Uh, you have
your cinnamon sugar?

Give it a little sprinkle
and in the oven you go.

Thank you.

And these look fantastic.

You just wanna put them in
the fridge for a few minutes

before you put
them on your dough.

Oh... uh... yeah.

There might be too much
flour in your dough.

Why don't you use mine
instead? Happens to everyone.

[camera clicks]

Hello there. Sorry to interrupt.

Bradford.

Uh... no problem.

Here, use this one.

Hannah, love.

How's everything
going with the class?

Are the students
all master bakers?

Oh yes, they're doing great.

Good. Well, I'm so glad
everything's working out.

Yeah, me too, and it's been fun
sharing my recipes with them.

And I really appreciate
you suggesting it.

[students gasp]

Ooh, uh...

That's okay, don't worry.

[chuckles]

Professor Ramsey,

was it your idea for Hannah
to teach intro to baking?

Are you enjoying her class?

Absolutely. It's delicious.

Then it was definitely
my idea. [Chuckles]

Well Bradford, if you're here
to try the apple turnovers,

you're a little bit early.

If you're interested, I'd still
love to take you out for dinner.

Oh, I...

Wonderful!

In that case, I'll ping you over
some dates that work. Shall I?

Actually...

You know, I've noticed that
a number of your students

are also taking my
English lit class,

and that sparked
a brilliant idea.

See, as a treat, you know,

for all of their hard
work this quarter

what would you
say we collaborate

on a class together next week?

You know, a lot of the
novels that I assign

have wonderful food imagery.

You know, I think
that's a great idea.

It might be fun to use a
practical class to examine

how food metaphor and imagery

and how it develops complex
ideas in literature.

You took the words
right out of my mouth.

Never underestimate a baker.

Sage advice, indeed. Cheerio.

Okay. All right, everyone.

Let's just make sure that we
don't overfill our turnovers

because we don't want it
to leak all over the oven.

I did promise the administration

there wouldn't be too much smoke
coming from this classroom.

[students laugh]

Good job, everyone.

[camera clicks]

[camera clicks]

So, we only have five
orders left to fill

for afternoon deliveries.

Two apple turnovers,
two carrot cakes

and a dozen chocolate
sugar cookies.

How did you accomplish
all of that?

You are on fire today.

Yeah, it's a piece of
cake. Angel food, that is.

Oh! Look at that.
Came out perfect.

Mm-hmm.

Now I have to ask you who my
mother is talking to over there.

Yeah, I have no idea.

But she has been very
secretive about it.

Oh, no.

Are we still on for
dinner tonight, Mother?

Oh... darling. I'm
juggling so much right now,

I'm afraid it's
just not possible.

Oh. Well, all right then.

I will take this
opportunity to ask you

what you were doing on campus
taking photos of me today.

What?

[scoffs] Oh, Hannah!

Oh, I wouldn't...

How'd you know it was me?

I would know you
anywhere, Mother.

What's going on?

Nothing.

Absolutely nothing is going on.

Really.

You just decided to
borrow Michelle's camera

and take photos of someone

without their
knowledge or consent?

Hannah. I am trying
something new.

The path not taken and all that.

It's nothing I can discuss
right now, it's very hush hush.

Honey... can I
please have another

double chocolate delight?

- You bet.
- Thank you.

Coming right up. I'll
just add it to your tab.

[mumbles] Mm... thank you.

Every time you bake, it's
like a new beginning.

You can make an
old favorite recipe

or you can take a
chance on something new.

It can be risky.

An ingredient is bad or just
not the right combination.

But sometimes things
blend together.

A perfect symphony of
flavors and textures.

Every choice you make leads you
down a different possible path.

Hopefully with a
delicious result.

[crunch]

Your caramel apple
tarts are ready.

Please enjoy.

[sighs] Norman, hey!
What's up with you?

Uh... your mother?

[chuckles] Oh, no.
What's she done now?

Uh, it's kind of
hard to explain.

At first she was just
asking me how I was doing,

and then next thing I knew,
she'd arranged for you and I

to have dinner tonight
at the Chameleon.

[sighs] That's my mother.

It's her life motto to never
let an opportunity pass her by.

Thank you.

Okay. What's the opportunity?

Well... she was supposed
to take me to dinner

at the Chameleon tonight
and she flaked on me.

Ah ha. Well, there it is.

Yeah. She's Machiavellian.

[both chuckle]

She is, I agree.

Uh... but, you know, I was
thinking maybe we should go

to dinner tonight. Do you, uh...

Yeah, of course.

Because I'd love to
hear about college

and how all that's
going and your teaching.

Aww, yeah. That
would be so great.

And... and hopefully
Diana can join us.

Yeah. I'll... I'll ask her.

Good.

And hey, uh...

Hannah, I've been
meaning to say,

um... I'm sorry.

About what?

About Mike moving to Quantico.

We talked about it.
I mean, it's the FBI.

It's an incredible
opportunity for him.

Yeah. It must be.

Thanks, Norman.

Um, so... I think she said
the reservation is for 7:00.

- Is that...
- Yeah. 7:00 is great.

Okay.

Look at you, empty-handed.
Let me get you your coffee.

Yes, please.

And a ginger and
molasses cookie?

That would be amazing.

Why are you looking
at me like that?

[cat meows]

It's just dinner.

Norman's girlfriend is
probably gonna be there too.

[cat meows]

No, I'm not texting Mike.

We agreed we're gonna
just take some time apart.

Besides, I didn't think
you were on team Mike.

[cat meows]

I'm coming with your dinner.

[phone alert chimes]

Oh.

Hey, you're not gonna
believe this. It's snowing!

Hannah, do you
know where Mom is?

Um... no. Why?

Me neither.

And she turned off her
locations, I do not like that.

Yeah, well, she's
definitely been acting odd.

She was weird at The
Cookie Jar this morning

and she flaked on me for dinner.

Really? That's not
like her at all.

And I'm really sorry
that she stood you up.

Well, thank you.

I'm sure her
conscience is clear.

She tricked Norman into
asking me to dinner instead.

Well, ever since Mike
moved to Virginia,

she has been determined to
get you and Norman together.

He's with Diana.

Is he?

He loves Diana.

Does he?

He just asked me to dinner
because he feels sorry for me.

[scoffs] You're so bad at this.

Hannah, Norman does
not feel sorry for you.

And either way,
what does it matter?

Just put on something
nice to go for dinner.

What do you mean? I am
wearing something nice.

Let me see.

Well... okay. Hold on.

Ugh. Put on a dress,
Hannah! It is Friday night.

Okay! Okay.

All right. What is it
with you and Moishe?

You sound just like Mother.

[light jazz music]

Thank you.

Willa? Are you okay?

[teary] Hannah? Oh my gosh.
Sorry, I didn't see you there.

You seem upset. What's wrong?

No. Oh my gosh.
No, it's nothing.

I'm just, um... feeling
a little sick today.

Oh.

I'm sorry, I have to go.

Okay.

- Hey!
- Norman!

Hi.

There she is.

- Hi.
- Hi.

It's nice to see you.

- And you look fantastic.
- So do you.

Um... who was that?

Oh, that was one of my
students, Willa Sunquist.

She makes excellent lemon bars.

Her friend Pam, ugh...
a genius with chocolate.

I'm thinking about hiring her
to work for me this summer.

[chuckles] Okay.

So, uh... how's it
going over there?

Are you loving teaching?

Way more than I thought I would.

So much fun.

Yeah, I knew you'd
be good at it.

Thank you.

Is, um... Diana not
joining us tonight?

No. She's, uh... she's
working on a case.

But she sends her best.

A case.

Yeah. It's not a
murder case. Calm down.

But she is meeting with the
county prosecutor tomorrow.

Uh, Norton, I think his name is.

Apparently, he's pretty tough
so she wants to make sure

she has her brief in order.

Well, she saved the
Steiner Building.

I'm sure she's gonna
win this case too.

Okay, well... I hope so.

Mother.

What?

Norman, you are not
gonna believe this.

[whispers] My mother is here.

Oh...

- I'm gonna go talk to her.
- Okay.

Be right back.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Take your time.

Sorry.

- What is going on, Mother?
- Shhh.

[whispers] Hold
this. I'm working.

[whispers] Working?
Working on what?

Oh...

Hannah... your mother
is a private eye.

A sleuth.

A detective.

I know what it means.

I just didn't expect
you to say that.

Since when?

I opened my own
agency last month.

It's going gangbusters,
to be honest.

I had no idea how many women
are desperate for my services.

What kind of services?

- Well... [spraying]
- [coughs]

As a boutique agency,

I have the luxury of offering
a wide variety of options.

Thank you.

I like to customize my services

based on the needs
of my clients.

Oh... here.

And that's why you've
been following me around?

[chuckles]

- 'Cause you're practicing.
- Yeah.

So far has just been mostly...

[yelps]

Well, mostly it's just been...

It's okay.

Catching cheating husbands

but in success, I'm hoping
to expand my profile.

How did this happen?

It practically fell in my lap.

I mean, after the way
I almost single...

Stop.

Single-handedly had
Ken Purvis put in jail.

My success rate is 100 percent.

I don't think you and I
remember the Ken Purvis case

in quite the same way.

Oh... forget the
details, darling.

- [scoffs]
- The point is...

I really think
this is my calling.

Oh...

Yeah.

Mother.

I know.

Thank you.

You wait two minutes.

[chuckles] What is that?

- Is it bad?
- No, no.

- No. What happened?
- Did you do something...?

- I thought I...
- Yeah, yeah. No, it's fine. I...

You're not gonna

my mother just
attacked me in the...

That red purse.

Stacey Ramsey,
that's who that is.

Who's that?

Do you remember I told you
about the Professor, Bradford?

He's the one who suggested
I teach at the college.

Sure.

He's up there having
dinner with his ex-wife.

Oh... okay.

Oops. Ooh. Doesn't
look like his ex-wife.

I didn't think so either.

You gotta tell me, what's
going on with your mother?

What was that?

She has decided to
become a... [whispers]

[both laugh]

You're kidding me.

[voicemail greeting] Hi, it's
Michelle. Leave a message.

Michelle, will you
feed Moishe for me?

I might be here longer than
I... originally thought.

Ok.

Hannah Swensen?

I'm Hannah.

Hi. Thank you for
waiting. Come with me.

Yeah.

Please have a seat.
This won't take long.

Yeah.

My name is Chad Norton.

I am the county prosecutor
for Lake Eden District.

Uh, yeah. You sent me a summons.

A subpoena.

I'm prosecuting the
case against Ken Purvis.

He's under indictment
for embezzlement.

The Booster Club.
I helped catch him.

And that is why you're here.

You were a fact witness
to some pivotal evidence

we have against Mr. Purvis.

Just glad I could help.

Be that as it may, as
you saw in the subpoena,

the deposition is on Wednesday.

Uh, sorry... Wednesday?

And I apologize for
any inconvenience,

but you will need to
plan to be here all day.

There's no way for me to
determine ahead of time

when you'll actually be called.

Of course. No problem.

So, you'll be questioned
about the circumstances

under which you found
Miss Sharp's letter.

Questions?

Both the defense and the
prosecution can pose questions.

There's no judge, it's just
a fact-finding mission.

But please be as
accurate as possible

when you answer the questions

and only answer the
questions that are asked.

Okay.

If you don't recall or if
you don't know the answer

to the questions
asked, don't speculate.

Just say, I don't know.

I'll do the best I
can, just here to help.

That's all anyone could ask.

Okay.

Miss Swensen.

Don't worry, you'll
do just fine.

Thank you.

That's how she
ended up with eight.

Okay. We'll see ya.

See you later, man.

Hannah.

Hi. Hey, everyone.

I hope I didn't assign too
much homework over the weekend.

[students chuckle]

Shh!

Sorry.

Don't mind Kyle.
He's always stressed.

Yeah, I'd be stressed
too if I were him.

We love taking
your class, Hannah.

For the delicious treats

and it is a relief that
there's no homework.

Or tests.

I'm so glad you're
feeling better, Willa.

Yeah.

Uh, she hasn't
completely recovered.

It's nothing.

Um... yeah. Hannah, this is
my brother, Perry. Perry...

Hi.

I've heard all about
your class, Hannah.

I had no idea my little sister
would be so good in the kitchen.

[chuckles]

Professor Ramsey had this idea
for Hannah to help everyone

in his class bake something
from a classic novel.

Oh.

Such a brilliant idea.

Yeah. And so many wonderful
authors used cooking or baking

as an allegory.

There is a great
set of mysteries

that are all about
different desserts.

And the recipes
are in the novel.

Oh. It's a mystery. Sounds fun.

You guys can all
keep your novels.

I think I'll take
a math equation

or chemical formula any day.

Baking is all about
science too, you know.

You have to know whether or not

to use baking powder
or baking soda.

If you have the wrong ratio
of wet to dry ingredients,

you can end up with a
hot mess on your hands.

[students chuckle]

Hey, everyone.

I just wanted to mention
my roommates and I

are having a party.

Let loose before
finals next week.

You should come.

Sounds great.

I have to pack up, I'm
going home over the break,

but maybe I'll come for a while.

Uh, yeah. Perry and
I'll definitely come.

It sounds fun, thanks.

Hannah, I'm Tim Pearson.

Oh, hi. Nice to meet you.

Hi.

He's Professor Ramsey's T.A.

Great.

Well, I'm also a PhD student.
Uh, writing my thesis for, um...

Actually, it's about Chaucer.

Uh, but you're more
than welcome to join us.

Yes, you should come!

It'll be fun.

Oh, no. No, no, no.

Uh, but that's very nice.

Um, I have lots of
reading I have to do,

so I better get going.
So nice to see you.

- Bye.
- Bye Hannah.

- So, about the party...
- Uh huh.

What we're gonna do is...

Aww. So cute.

Stacey. Huh.

Well, I guess I'll
be back soon, then.

Whoa. Ouch.

Hello.

[gasps] Bradford.

[chuckles]

Oh, what a wonderful surprise.

Yes. Uh... sorry,
I didn't mean to...

Snoop?

Yeah. Basically.

Oh. How else are you to amuse
yourself all alone in my office?

Well, I apologize.

Um... I'm actually
here to discuss

the plan for your
class tomorrow.

Hmm. You know, I'd much rather
discuss our dinner date.

Oh... right.

No, you're right.
First, we must work.

Hmm.

I have let my students know
to meet in your classroom,

seeing as that's where
all the equipment is.

Great. Perfect.

Now, I was thinking we could
do the cakes from Jane Eyre.

I think it'd be perfect
for the students to combine

a little historical research

with imagining the
author's intent.

Excellent notion.
Quite charming.

Uh... I tell you what.

Why don't you
leave that with me,

and I will get back to
you as soon as I can.

Sound good?

Um... okay.

Great.

Right.

Well, you do have to
give me some warning

'cause I have to prep
all the ingredients.

Oh, of course. Of course.

You know, I'm terribly sorry.

I just realized I have
a meeting with the Dean.

It totally slipped my mind.

The Dean?

Yes. Yes. About my rather
troublesome T.A. again.

- Mm-hmm.
- You understand.

Right. Uh... well,
I'm sorry about that.

Okay, just let me
know when you decide.

Of course.

The pain of parting is nothing

to the joy of seeing
you again, Hannah.

[chuckles] Oh.

Okay.

Proust perfectly exemplifies
the use of food as a metaphor

to help the reader understand
the protagonist's mood.

Go ahead.

In Proust's remembrance
of things past,

he mentions dunking his
Madeleine in his tea.

Yeah, very good.

Yeah, that's right.

We considered that recipe,
but the batter for Madeleines

requires it to chill overnight,

so we decided to
go with a recipe

that you can actually
accomplish today.

- [students murmur]
- Whoa.

- Wow.
- That's beautiful.

Ta da.

To Kill a Mockingbird.

It's one of my
childhood favorites.

In fact, I even named my dog
after my favorite character.

Scout?

No. Boo Radley.

There's a wonderful
scene about a Charlotte.

Now, I must admit
that I had no idea

what kind of a dessert that was.

It's a Charlotte Russe.

It's a dessert made
of ladyfinger cookies

with a Bavarian cream filling.

Though you can also make
it with chocolate mousse.

Which just sounds so sinfully
decadent, doesn't it?

Uh, the best part is...

Sorry. Excuse me
just one minute.

Of course. Yeah.

The best part is you
can all make this.

I have some of the elements to
start with on your stations,

including the recipes.

But if you wanna
make Bavarian cream

or the chocolate mousse,
or if you're in my class

and you wanna try something
a little more advanced,

"you can make fruit... puree."

Um... and, uh

why don't you all get started
and I'll come check on you.

Bradford?

Yes.

So, we do have a station

if you'd like to make
a Charlotte Russe.

Are you kidding me?

That would be a childhood
dream come true.

[laughs] All right.
Well, let's get started.

Great.

I'll just... okay.

[ignitor clicks]

Oh, yeah. No, we
don't need to...

Do you smell that?

What do you mean?

Everybody duck!

Is everyone all right?

Hannah, Willa needs help.

Oh no. Willa?

[fire alarm blares]

Oh, Willa. Are you
okay, Willa? Oh, Willa.

Let's get you outside.
We gotta go outside.

Everybody out! Everybody
out and don't panic!

[students murmur]

Hannah, you... you
saved everybody.

You really saved
the day, you did.

Do you have any idea what
caused that explosion?

I keep thinking about it, but I
don't think any oil was spilled.

I can't imagine that the
college would let us use

faulty equipment.

You know, I think you give them

a little more credit
than they deserve.

Maybe. But that equipment's
been there for weeks.

I guess anyone would have
had a chance to rig it.

Hold your horses, Hannah.
What are you saying?

Are you suggesting

someone intentionally
caused the explosion?

Surely not.

Well, I guess not.

But still, I just
think it's sort of odd

the way Tim, your
teacher's assistant,

was just hanging
around in my classroom.

Tim?

He's hardly the sort of person
to, what, set up an explosion?

I mean, why, for starters?

Because he thinks
I'm a harsh marker.

Are you a tough grader?

Well, you know, people think
that I am a little strict.

But, you know, how else
are they supposed to learn?

Hmm.

And at the end of the day,

it's my name on
the syllabus, so...

I am so glad you're quick
on your feet, Hannah.

This could have been really bad.

Kitchen fires are no joke.

Fire Marshall isn't satisfied
with the initial findings.

She wants to do a
full investigation

to confirm the cause
of the explosion.

She doesn't think
it was an accident.

When I know more,
you'll know more.

Thanks, Lonnie. Hey,
you're not in uniform.

This is your day off today?

Actually, I got a promotion.
I'm a detective now.

What? That's awesome.

I bet Mike is so happy the
Sheriff gave you a spot.

I just wish Mike was here to
train me a little bit longer.

Sheriff Ealing just
chucked the badge at me

and said... good luck.

[both laugh]

Well, I'm sure he meant it.

[metal thuds] [Hannah screams]

I better go check with
the Fire Marshall,

make sure everything's okay.

Yeah.

It's my first solo assignment,
I don't wanna miss anything.

Right. Oh! Um... you know what?

One of the students took a video
of the explosion on his phone.

I think everyone
was looking at it.

Really? That would
be extremely helpful.

Yeah, yeah. His name
is Kyle Williamson.

Okay.

Hannah! My gosh.

I heard what happened
yesterday. Are you okay?

Yeah.

Did you see the video too?

There's a video
of the explosion?

Mmm. I discovered it

while I was doing some
online reconnaissance.

Look. You're gonna go viral

before the end of
the day, darling.

Oh, no. [On video]
Everybody duck!

[fireball explodes]

Whoa. Are you sure you're okay?

Yes. Yes, I'm fine. It
was just a close call.

It's crazy.

Wonderful news.

I was never here.

You know what?

I heard the, uh...
school got evacuated.

I was really nervous,

I thought that maybe somebody

was trying to hurt
you or something.

What is it with
you and Michelle?

She said the same
thing last night.

I don't think that it
was aimed at me at all.

No, no, I don't
mean it like that.

I just mean, you know, with
all your investigations,

you may have made some
enemies and, uh...

Okay, fine.

But I've been using that
equipment for weeks,

I think the target
was someone else.

Professor Ramsey, is it?

Oh yes, actually.

Ah ha. Professor
Ramsey, I presume?

That's right.

Hannah. I am so, so pleased
to see you quite recovered.

Thank you.

And might I say, looking
very professional today.

Oh, thank you.

Oh yeah, I was gonna
say... what... what?

Why are you dressed up?

Oh, oh! I have an
appearance at court.

Um... I think.

And anyway, it's about
the Ken Purvis case.

You remember, he was stealing
from the Booster Club.

- Oh, I remember that.
- Mm-hmm.

That's right.

Um, uh... Norman,
Bradford Ramsey.

Bradford, this is Norman Rhodes.

Ah! Of course.

Professor Bradford Ramsey,
welcome to Lake Eden.

Uh...

If there's anything
we can do for you...

Hannah, I am so sorry.
Gosh, don't I feel the fool.

I was quite certain you
said you were single.

Oh.

My good sir, I humbly apologize.

Oh, no!

Oh no, you don't
have to do all that.

Um... we are friends. Friends.

We're good friends, yeah.
Really good friends.

Oh...

We've known each other
for a very long time.

Um... but can I
offer you something?

A cookie or... cake?
Uh... a coffee?

I'm fine.

Oh, I would love nothing more

than a slice of something
made by you, Hannah.

Oh, well.

Isn't that sweet? Okay.

Make that two of
anything made by you.

- Norman...
- You know...

- Stop it.
- Okay.

Here you go.

You know, I can't stop
thinking about Tim Pearson

and how odd he was behaving
after the explosion.

Ah, no.

I'm afraid that's just
his usual demeanor.

- Really?
- Mm-hmm.

Tim Pearson is his
teacher's assistant

and Tim apparently does not
like Bradford's grading style.

He thinks it's
too... too extreme.

[all chuckle]

- Don't...
- Oh, no.

Don't even...

Teacher's assist...
yeah, yeah. No.

I do have to say,
of all the people,

all the people that may
wish to cause me harm,

I'd have to put Tim
pretty low on the list.

Really?

He'd certainly have to get
in line behind my ex-wife.

[all chuckle]

And you know, your ex-wife
was in here just recently.

Stacey, right?
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, and I just thought

maybe you had recommended
The Cookie Jar to her.

Oh, good heavens, no.

No, I mean, if I
had, there's no way

she would have
darkened your door.

Are you married, Normie?

Ah. No... no, I'm not,
old... chaperoo. I...

But I do have a girlfriend,
long-term girlfriend.

But not married. Free
as a bird, apparently.

Oh. Very well. Very well.

Yeah.

Well, might I recommend
that you think twice

before jumping into the old I
do's, because let me tell you,

the I don'ts... they can be
pretty, pretty complicated.

Ooh. Okay.

You know, I'm gonna
keep that in mind.

Ah, jolly good. Now...
I do have to go.

Thank you so much for the treat.

Oh, you're welcome.
Yeah, it's on me.

But before I go

it's the end of term, let's
say you and I celebrate

over a little beverage
at the old Chameleon.

Chameleon?

Ah, they do a
wonderful gin martini.

You've been, you must have.

Oh, yes. No, we've...

We go there.

It's delicious.

Fabulous. In that
case, I will ping you.

Yeah.

All right.

I... sure.

All days and nights
to see till I see thee

and night's bright days when
dreams do bring me thee.

Oh.

Cheerio.

Good day, sir.

What? Good day.

Well, that is quite
charming, actually.

- [exhales]
- What'd you think?

Miss Swensen. We're
ready for you.

Okay. You know, you
can call me Hannah.

Everything in the deposition is
recorded for the criminal case,

so it's very important
that you keep your answers

professional and appropriate.

Right. Okay.

Don't worry, Miss Swensen.
You're gonna do just fine.

Just keep your answers
brief, stick to the facts.

You said that last time.

I meant it last time too.

It's not like I'm gonna go
in there and make things up.

I didn't think you would.

Well, then why do you keep
reminding me to tell the truth?

Miss Swensen, you seem like
the truth-telling type.

I'm just reminding you
that your theories,

hunches and gut feelings
are not relevant testimony.

I do know the difference
between facts and opinion.

Excellent. Then we
won't have any problems.

Shall we? Everyone's waiting.

[scoffs]

Mother! What are you doing here?

How did you find me?

You turned your
location back on.

You and your sisters have
my location for emergencies,

not to be busybodies.

Well, I'm sorry about that.
But I did wanna come find...

Here, why don't you put
some of these on the cars

at your bakery.

Oh hey, these look nice.

But don't you think people
just throw flyers away?

I'm not sure this is
effective marketing.

Why do you think
people go to the gym

in the first place, Hannah?

They are either
looking for someone new

or they feel their partner is.

With satisfied customers,
word will spread,

and I will be the number
one detective in the county.

You know, Mother, I could
really see that happening.

You just have to visualize
your future, Hannah,

and then make it happen.

Oh. Are you wearing a skirt?

Yeah. Why? What's wrong with it?

Nothing.

You look beautiful, honey.

It makes me wish you
went to court more often.

[sighs] Mother

uh, Stacey Ramsey is
your client, I know that.

But I don't understand
why she hired you,

she divorced Bradford years ago.

A butterfly flaps its wings

and you never know where
the earthquake will hit.

[chuckles]

[scoffs]

I still think you should
tell him in person.

Right. Okay, so I'm gonna
send the text asking

if he's still in his office.

You don't wanna
be with Bradford,

you just tell him
you're not interested.

Right. It's not like I
don't wanna date ever.

But, you know, he's
obviously playing the field,

and that's not for me.

A thousand percent agree.

- [phone alert chimes]
- Okay. He texted me back.

He said he has a
meeting right now

but he'll be free in half
an hour. I can make that.

Be firm.

Thank you, Lisa.

Bradford, I'm so
sorry. I've decided...

[gasps] Bradford!
Bradford! Oh my...

[dramatic music]

I can't believe this happened.

Yeah, me neither.

I was just texting him.

He told me to meet with
him to go over the essays.

He was prepping the finals
for next week, and I just...

I just thought...

I guess he had a meeting? If
we only knew who he was...

Detective Murphy.

Sheriff didn't have a
lot of details for me.

What do you got?

Bradford Ramsey.

Relatively new in town,
moved to Lake Eden to teach.

Stabbed with a knife.

Okay. And you have
the murder weapon?

It was left in the body.
Looks pretty clean.

No prints?

I'm having it rushed
to the lab right now

to see if I get any DNA off it.

But whoever did this knew when
and where to target Ramsey

to get the job done quickly.

And this is your
first investigation

without Detective
Kingston, right?

Yeah, it is. But I'm
gonna find who did this.

I know you will.
What about a motive?

Nothing yet.

But there was an incident
at the school yesterday.

I'm starting to think these
two things might be connected.

Yeah. Yeah, I heard
about the explosion.

One of the kids got it
on video... went viral.

But I've got the
original footage.

Okay. I need you to reach
out to Ramsey's next of kin,

get permission to go
through his phone.

There might be something
on there we can use.

Okay.

Hannah was actually the one
who discovered the body.

I teach here sometimes.

Bradford and I were, um...
collaborating on a class.

I see.

He had built up something
of a reputation.

A lot of students
were upset at him

for being such a tough grader.

Well, provide Detective Murphy
here with everything you know.

So... what do we know?

What she means is, are you okay?

I never thought I would miss
her giving me a hard time

about finding dead bodies.

Focus, girls. Please.

Right. Well, I did
overhear Lonnie say

that he doesn't think there
are fingerprints on the knife,

and I didn't see
any signs of a fight

or anything like that
in Bradford's office.

Okay then. We need to
start a suspect list.

I have a weird feeling
about Bradford's T.A.,

his teacher's assistant.
It's a guy named Tim Pearson.

I don't think that he
liked Bradford very much.

He didn't like
the way he graded.

He didn't like the
way he ran his class.

I think that Tim was feeling

that it was gonna
ruin his reputation

working with Bradford.

I hated the T.A.'s
that were tough.

He's right that that
would hurt his resume

trying to get another job.

Tim Pearson. Who else?

Bradford was failing
one of the students.

I saw the essay on his desk.

That would be a good reason
to cause the explosion, right?

To punish Bradford or scare him.

Ah. A classic motive... revenge.

All right. Bad
student. Anyone else?

Oh!

[chuckles]

- Thank you.
- Thank you so much.

Sorry.

Shh, shh, shh.

Okay, sorry.

Well, I did notice a clue
next to Bradford's body.

It was a greeting card.

And it made me think that maybe
it was a student who killed him.

You know, someone
bringing him a gift.

Greeting card.

High end?

Yes. Yeah, it looked
like a custom card.

You know, kinda fancy.

Okay, but can a student really
afford that type of gift?

Good point.

All right.

I hate to say this because we
have high ethical standards

in my industry.

What industry is that?

Private investigations rely
on discretion, my dear.

But the truth must be pursued.

Stacey Ramsey bought Lake Eden
Flowers and Gifts two years ago.

She sells high-end
gifts and cards.

[mysterious music]

Willa. Hi, Pam.

Thank you for meeting me. I'm
so sorry about everything.

You know, my mother
always says chocolate

has healing properties.

- Thank you.
- Thank you.

I can totally understand

how this is just
devastating for everyone.

It's just so horrible. How
could this have happened?

I know.

Mmm.

I can't believe someone would
do this to Bradford, you know...

Professor Ramsey, sorry.

Right.

Everyone loved him. You
know, he was just...

He was the best.

Well, yes. We thought
he was the best.

Well, it's understandable.

I mean, he had so
many creative ideas

for helping students learn
to appreciate literature.

But I heard that not all
the students felt that way.

His grading system wasn't easy.

Well, okay. No, he was

he was, like, encouraging
us to strive to be better.

Push ourselves for excellence.

I know, Willa. I agree.

It's just... Kyle didn't think
it was such a great system.

It's not Professor
Ramsey's fault

that Kyle can't appreciate
great literature.

Like... honestly, he shouldn't
have even been in the program.

Poor Willa. So affected
by what happened.

Well, Hannah... there's
a good reason for that.

Pam... I know you wanna
protect your friend,

but Professor Ramsey
had people who loved him

and they deserve to know
how and... and why he died.

You're gonna find out
who did this to Bradford?

I'm gonna try.

But to do that, I need
to know everything.

Well... Willa had a crush
on Professor Ramsey.

That's why she's so upset.

Right. Of course.

Did Professor Ramsey ever do
anything to... lead her on?

I've never seen him treat her
differently than other students.

But sometimes she made
it seem like maybe

there was something
between them.

It was probably just
wishful thinking though.

Right. Of course.

How's the investigation
going, Detective?

It's progressing.

We still don't have
a clear suspect yet.

What about the murder weapon?

It's at the lab.

But I'm guessing we're not
gonna get much back on it

other than the victim's DNA.

And what makes you so sure?

Crime scene was organized.

The perp got in, stabbed
Ramsey, got out quickly.

There was nothing unusual
in the security footage.

No witnesses. This was planned.

Is there anything at
all that we can gather

from the murder weapon?

Well... um...

Well... uh... what?

We were able to establish
that the knife came from a set

that was already on campus.

It was part of the kitchen
equipment being used

in the cooking class.

It was Hannah Swensen's knife.

Hannah Swensen.

Wait. My knife was
used to kill Bradford?

Hannah, I...

Miss Swensen. You here
to turn yourself in?

No. I mean, of course not.

I just came to bring Lonnie...

Are you saying I'm a suspect
in Bradford's murder?

Right now, Hannah... we
can't rule anybody out.

[gasps]

[cookies thud]

I know I sound crazy,

but he's just been taking
all these secret calls.

Oh, honey.

Sneaking away. Oh, um...

Oh. You'd better take
that. I'll wait right here.

Thank you.

Hi.

Oh! That's blood.

[camera clicks]

♪

Hello life insurance policy.

[gasps]

[camera clicks]

I'm so sorry about that.

[chuckles] It's fine. I've
just been smelling the roses.

You had arranged to
meet with Bradford?

Yes.

And the knife that
killed him was yours?

Yes.

I wonder why they
haven't arrested you yet.

Well, I didn't do it,
and I'm gonna prove it.

Well, I don't think I can agree

to take you on as
a client, Hannah.

I don't want to risk my
perfect success record.

Sure.

Mother!

I see where she's coming from.

Michelle!

Hannah, it's been a tough week.

I'm just so sorry you
had to see him like that.

Thank you, Norman. See, Mother?

Before you say anything else,

I have an update in
my investigation.

Really?

Stacey Ramsey stands to
receive a half million dollars

in life insurance in the
event of Bradford's death.

- Whoa.
- Wow.

How did you get this?

I went through her mail.

Part of any standard
operating procedure.

Well...

Do you know where she was
when Bradford was murdered?

No. I was working on her
case following a suspect.

I didn't have eyes on her.

Yeah, but do we really
think she'd leave

such an obvious clue?

Like a card that leads
right back to her gift shop.

In the heat of passion
maybe she didn't notice?

If he broke her heart years
ago, she might still be upset.

Right.

Or... what if...

He broke someone else's
heart again recently.

Hmm.

Right. Maybe.

There is a student,
Willa Sunquist,

and I think she was
in love with him.

Well, if she was in
love with him though,

why would she kill him, right?

Maybe he rejected her?

But didn't Lonnie say
that it seemed like

a premeditated murder, not
a spur of the moment attack.

Yeah.

So, what if Bradford had been
texting with her before that?

Well, if that's the case,
Lonnie has no proof of that.

He told me that he can't
get into Bradford's phone

without the passcode.

We need to break that code.

Agreed.

What we know for now
is that whoever did it

had access to the campus.

Mm-hmm.

- Knew where my knives were.
- Mmhmm.

Was able to get into Bradford's
office and catch him off guard.

What about that, uh... that T.A.

that you were questioning
Bradford about?

Tim Pearson. Yeah,
he has motive.

He was upset.

He thought his reputation
was being ruined

working with Bradford.

Or that student he was failing.

Right. I haven't figured out
the name of that student yet.

Okay. Okay.

So, we just need to just look at

all the suspects
right now, right?

I'm just running out of time.

Classes end at the
school next week

and then all the students
are gonna go home.

- Okay. Yeah.
- [Hannah sighs]

Great job, officer.

Got you.

I will be careful, I promise.

I'm just gonna see if Stacey
sells the kind of cards

I saw in Bradford's office.

Don't let her know
you're suspicious.

This is serious.
You are a suspect.

Lonnie knows I didn't do it.

I understand why you
don't wanna involve Mike,

but you cannot rely on
Lonnie to protect you.

I'm not, I promise.

Andrea, I'm going to find
out who killed Bradford.

Well, they do say that
the spouse is always

the first person
the police look at.

Believe me, I know.

Oh. I'll call you back.

Hello.

Can I help you?

Yes. Stacey, right?
I'm Hannah Swensen.

I was working at the
college with Bradford.

And?

Uh... well, I wanted to
offer my condolences.

I'm sorry for your loss.

Thank you.

You know, we... we
divorced years ago.

Of course. But I'm
sure it's complicated.

Yeah. I mean, he's
a complicated guy.

Charming as all get out.

But... yeah.

But you two still
must have been close.

I mean, you were the recipient
of his life insurance.

How did you...

He never remarried.

I'm sure he never thought
twice about that policy.

Did you think twice about it?

I see what you're getting at.

But I'll have you know that
since I bought this place,

business has exploded.

I have no reason to
murder my ex-husband

to cash in on his
insurance policy.

I didn't mean to imply.

Yes, you did. But I don't mind.

Facts are facts and my bank
account speaks for itself.

Well, okay.

Can I ask you about
your greeting cards?

Mm-hmm.

I see you have a nice selection,

but I wondered if you sell
custom greeting cards?

Do you work with
artists for that?

Um... not really.

I mean, they're hard
to keep in stock

and the profit margins
are thin, so...

Right. Right.

Okay. Thank you.

Oh, one more thing.

You don't happen to
know the password

to Bradford's cell
phone, do you?

Oh... you know, the detective

who interviewed me asked
the exact same thing.

Detective Murphy did?

Yeah, that's the one.

Uh... I have no idea what
his password is these days,

but he could never
remember anything,

so it'll be something easy like

07-08-79, which is his birthday.

Okay. Right. Okay.
Well, thank you.

All right, Mother.
It's Hannah again.

Call me when you get this.

[cat meows]

[sighs] It's just a car,
Moishe. Don't overreact.

Was it the ex or the spurned
lover or an angry student,

or the ambitious T.A.?

[distant sound]

[suspenseful music]

[suspenseful music]

[both scream]

Hannah!

Andrea!

It's me!

Okay. Well, how was I
supposed to know that?

You scared the life out of me.

I thought you were a
killer coming to get me.

And that was your plan? A ladle?

It's all I had.

That's actually
really resourceful.

Oh, I'm so happy to see you.

Hey.

You must be so cold.
You want some tea?

Yeah.

Are you keeping my ladle?

I'll keep the weapon.

Thanks for coming
over, Michelle.

You're not going to
believe what I found out.

Lonnie had a huge break
in the case today.

He found a pair of those
disposable hospital gloves

in a trash bin three blocks
from campus covered in blood.

They're still testing the DNA,
but this is the exact proof

that he needs to
solve his first case.

Wow. That is good news.

But the killer might
not be in the system,

so we better keep digging.

And we don't have much time.

Why?

Because the quarter's
almost over.

Some of my suspects
are students.

I mean, they're not gonna
stick around after finals.

Well, and if you
killed your professor,

that's like a really good reason
to not come back to Lake Eden.

Exactly.

Thanks.

[cat meows]

Everyone at the
shower was so happy.

I mean, we made so many
different kinds of cookies

there was something
for everyone.

Right. That's it.
You are genius.

Wait, what? I am?

So, this has been rescheduled
for the fifth time.

That's always wonderful. Thanks.

Oh, Miss Swensen.
Looking for someone?

Uh, you... actually.

Well, if you're here
about the Ken Purvis case,

I have got good
news. He pled guilty.

That is good news. I
thought he was fighting it.

He was, until his lawyers found
out how much evidence we had,

and they quickly advised
him to take a plea.

Another win for your office.

I aim for nothing less.

I'm actually here on
a different matter.

The Bradford Ramsey case.

Yeah, that case is still
in the investigation stage.

My office doesn't get involved
until there's enough to charge.

Right, but when is there
enough to press charges?

I can't comment on an
ongoing investigation.

On a delivery?

Oh, right. Yes. No,
they're for you.

I made a selection of my
bakery's best cookies for you.

Well, thank you, but I
don't have a sweet tooth.

I do need to get to my
office for a meeting.

You know your way
back out front?

Yeah.

Okay.

"I don't have a sweet tooth"?

We'll see about that.

Hits the spot. Thank you.

Yeah, you're welcome.
You're... you're so welcome.

Hey, I wondered
if I might ask you

how things are going for you.

You know, with
Professor Ramsey gone.

It's fine. Not bad at all.

I had heard that he
was quite tough on you.

Yeah, we argued a lot.

I completely disagreed
with his grading system.

So why didn't you just
change professors?

Well, that would have
made me look terrible.

I had no choice but
to stick it out,

you know, try to get
on his good side.

Right. Well, that's
a really smart idea.

Like with a gift, maybe, or,

or one of those
custom greeting cards.

I doubt that would have
swayed Bradford Ramsey.

That's a good point.

So what's happening

Well, the administration asked
me to finish out the course,

Bradford was failing might

that Bradford was failing.

Really? How?

Um... it doesn't matter.

The point is, his name
is Kyle Williamson,

and that's the same student

that was recording the
explosion in Bradford's class.

He was failing English
lit. His major.

All right, I'll look into it.

how to get into

No, not yet.

Well, um...

I'll just keep thinking about
what the password could be.

Thanks, Hannah.

Norton. You wanted me to let
you know the DNA came back.

It's back.

Did you ID the killer?

Not yet.

But we found sweat
residue inside the glove.

Unknown male DNA.

And we have several
male suspects

that we can test
to match that DNA.

Great.

I'll help you write the
probable cause affidavit

to get Judge Colfax to sign
off on a DNA search warrant.

I don't have probable cause yet.

I'm thinking I can
convince a few of them

to offer up their DNA, eliminate
themselves as suspects.

Smart.

But keep digging, Murph,
'cause DNA alone is not enough.

I don't need some
defense attorney

trying to pull our case apart

with some so-called expert
poking holes in forensics.

to Professor Ramsey

about your grades?

Are you kidding? All the time.

He would quote Shakespeare,
laugh, and then walk away.

What about last week?

Did you by chance go see
him... bring him a gift?

I heard it was Teacher
Appreciation Day

the day he died.

Wait a second. I
didn't kill him.

And you better not
be going around

spreading rumors that I did.

Keep me posted.

Okay. Thanks.

[clears throat]

[clears throat louder]

Yes?

Miss Swensen, what
are you doing here?

Did you find another dead body?

No.

Well, that is a relief.

I have information about someone

who might have wanted
to hurt Bradford Ramsey.

Well, I'm sure Detective
Murphy over here

would be very happy to
take your statement.

I just found out...

Miss Swensen, as we
discussed before,

my office doesn't get
involved at this stage.

The police do their work
and then I can do mine.

I've heard detectives
say that you complain

because they don't come up
with enough evidence for you.

Well, that may be
true. [Chuckles]

But it's because I
don't like to lose.

There's too much riding on
the outcome of these cases.

The safety of the community,
the family of the victims.

Making sure you have
the right suspect.

That has to be the first step.

Exactly. I want justice.

Me too.

So, it seems like maybe
we're on the same side.

Was there ever any doubt?

Don't answer that.

Of course not.

Okay.

Oh, Miss Swensen.

By the way, I think you'd
be very happy to know

that you're officially
off the suspect list.

Oh. Does that mean
the DNA came back?

Of course you knew about that.

So, Lonnie said that they got a
great sample of the killer's DNA

on those gloves,

but it doesn't match
anyone in the database.

So, he has to find a suspect

and then he'll be
able to match the DNA.

I know Lonnie can
solve this case.

But are we positive
that the DNA is male?

That's what Lonnie said,

which means that Stacey
and Pam are off the hook.

And you.

Hmm.

But we do still have
plenty of suspects.

Stacey.

Pam.

Hannah.

All right, Hannah.

What did Lonnie say when you
told him that you found out

who made the card?

He said he's gonna talk to Pam,

but she doesn't remember
who she sold it to.

What if someone
stole it from her?

Why would someone do that?

Because they're a killer.

Good point.

Okay. What male suspect

would've had access
to stealing her cards?

Well, I still think the
teacher's assistant,

Tim Pearson, I think he
has an excellent motive.

He gets to take over
teaching Bradford's class

and he gets credit
for it on his resume.

But I don't know how he would
have stolen Pam's greeting card.

Why would Tim and
Kyle, for that matter,

wanna give Bradford a
teacher appreciation card?

Sarcasm.

Hmm. Fair point.

All right, girls.

I have a male name to
add to our suspect list.

Stacey's boyfriend.

[both] That's not a name.

And also, just because
he bought a tarp

at a hardware store?

Uh, no.

Stacey says he's been
having secret conversations.

Sneaking in and
out of the house.

His behavior has been very odd.

Do you think that maybe he saw
Stacey and Bradford together

at the Chameleon?

I mean, they were
very cozy that night.

Jealousy is a very
big motivator.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, girls.

Confidentially...
Stacey hired me

because she thinks
that her boyfriend

has been cheating on her.

Ooh.

So then maybe he did it
for the insurance money?

I mean, he could've
done it for her.

Or himself.

Or maybe they were
in on it together

and he's just the
one who did the deed.

[sighs] Girls, we have
so much work to do yet.

Too Easy Hotdish?

Yeah, I know it's your favorite.

Thank you.

Mine too.

And that's why she made it.

Exactly.

[glasses clinking]

Thank you.

- Cheers.
- Cheers.

I know how stressful finals
week is for all of you.

So for your final
for this class,

it's the classic
chocolate chip cookie.

[students laugh]

I have all the
ingredients you'll need

to make your cookies,

but if you prefer, I also
have everything you need

for edible cookie dough.
Go ahead, get started.

Pam, is Willa not feeling well?

I haven't seen her
all weekend, actually.

I thought she and Perry
were cramming for finals.

But...

She's not answering
any of my texts

and she wouldn't open the door
when I went to her dorm room.

Now she's not here.

Okay. Thanks.

Perry. Is Willa here?

Yeah.

She... hasn't left here in days.

Oh. Would it be
okay if I came in?

I would appreciate your help.

Willa, hi.

Willa, look what
Hannah brought you.

Chocolate marshmallow
bars, your favorite.

Thanks Hannah.

Yeah, of course.

Have you been
studying for finals?

It's been too hard
to concentrate.

It's like she's just
given up on everything.

Um... there are grief
counsellors here at the college.

I'd be happy to get
you an appointment

so you can talk to someone.

No thanks.

Willa. Were you and
Bradford involved?

No. Professor Ramsey would
never do anything inappropriate.

Like...

Right. [Chuckles] Yeah, I know.

I'm not accusing
him of anything.

Except pouring on his
British charm all the time.

Right.

Did you see him at the
Chameleon with his ex-wife?

His ex-wife?

Do you remember that I ran
into that night you were sick?

Oh, um... yeah. I
do remember that.

Yeah, I was pretty sick.

Yeah. I mean, we
both were, actually.

I think it was something
we ate at the cafeteria.

Thanks.

Hello. What are you doing here?

A guy's not allowed
to have dinner?

Oh, no. Of course you are.

I mean, I just... I'm
surprised to see you here.

I'm surprised you're not
down at the police station.

You said yourself I'm
not a suspect anymore.

I did say that.

Then why would I be
at the police station?

Well, you seem to have your
fingers on the pulse of

everything going on in
the city. That's all.

I see what this is.

Uh... red wine, please.

You wanna know what I know.

What do you know, Miss Swensen?

I know that the
police have male DNA

that matches the killer.

That's hold back information.

Right. I understand.

Oh... thank you so much.

The question is... is it
enough to catch a killer?

It depends what you
mean by "catch".

It certainly helps
to have matching DNA,

but that's not gonna be enough
for me to convince a jury

to lock somebody up for life.

When I bring a case, it helps
to have forensic evidence

like the DNA, but I also need...

Motive.

Yes, motive. And opportunity.

Like who had access
to my classroom?

Who knew that Bradford
was gonna be alone

in his office that afternoon?

Exactly.

It's too bad you can't
unlock Bradford's cell phone.

I have my tech guys
working on it as we speak.

Right.

I need to get going, but...
it was very interesting

chatting with you, as
usual, Miss Swensen.

[glasses clink]

Right. Thank you.

Have a good night.

[women laughing]

So, you both checked
up on Mother?

- No.
- No.

What?

[in unison] You said
you were going to.

I have to do everything myself.

Well, she may have found
out something about

Stacey Ramsey's boyfriend.

Hopefully, she's found
something that can prove motive.

I gotta admit, I did not have.

Mom becoming a professional
snoop on my 2024 bingo card.

Yeah, and I don't know
how safe it is either.

I mean, you know how she gets.
- Mm-hmm.

Okay, you have looked at
that table three times

since we sat down.

I counted four. Who is that?

Nobody.

Stop looking!

It's somebody, fine.

He's the county
prosecutor and I met him

when I was giving my statement
on the Ken Purvis case.

[in unison] Ooh!

Don't “ooh” me. He's
actually very annoying.

He's one of those
by the book types.

Yeah, I could see how that's
really annoying for you.

Stop laughing.

Yoo-hoo! Girls.

There you are. I
knew you'd come.

Mother.

Looks like you all didn't wait.

Well...

Well, I wanted to, but Hannah
was sure you weren't coming.

[scoffs]

And here I have been
working overtime

trying to help you get evidence.

Mother, please sit.
She's just teasing you.

We all knew you were coming.

The kitchen is keeping
a plate warm for you.

Oh. That's lovely.

I so appreciate how
thoughtful you girls are.

So, did you find anything
out about Stacey's boyfriend?

Well...

Thank you.

Thank you.

A lot of strange behavior...
that adds up to bupkis.

He hasn't even looked
at another woman

as long as I've
been following him.

Never mind having an affair.

Hannah, you have to tell Lonnie
about Stacey's boyfriend.

Well, I will, but what am
I supposed to tell him?

I mean, if Mother can't
catch him in action,

it's either the
worst affair ever

or he's up to something else.

I know which I'm voting for.

Mother, you should know that
both of Hannah's main suspects

were interviewed
by Lonnie today.

Oh. And?

Neither of them was willing
to submit their DNA.

But the school quarter
is almost over.

If the killer is smart,
he's gonna leave town

and we're never gonna
hear from him again.

Lonnie did say, however,
that Tim Pearson

refused to answer any more
questions until he had a lawyer.

Now that is suspicious.

Mmhmm.

I don't know. Every crime
podcast I listen to suggests

that you should definitely
have a lawyer with you

when you speak to the police.

Crime podcast?

I have to admit,
that is great advice,

Mr. Norton. My family.

My sisters, Andrea and Michelle.
And this is my mother, Delores.

Enchanté.

Very nice to meet you,
Delores. Please, call me Chad.

Oh, of course. Chad.

[both chuckle]

I don't mean to interrupt,

I just wanted to
come say good night.

But I did overhear
you talking about

your Sixth Amendment
right to an attorney.

That is a fundamental right.

Insisting on that cannot be
held against you in court,

so, there you go.

That's good to know.

Thank you.

Very nice to meet you,
ladies. Stay out of trouble.

Hmm?

Hmm?

Au revoir.

Au Revoir.

See? What'd I tell
you? Annoying.

You're so bad at this.

So, the question is
who would have access

to Pam's greeting cards
to steal one, right?

Maybe someone she
takes art class with.

Someone who has a
key to her apartment.

You're right. I hadn't
thought of it like that.

Teacher's assistant?

Tim.

Didn't he invite everybody
to his place last weekend

for a party?

Maybe they were friendly, right?

He could've taken one
without her knowing.

You know what? You're right.

What if Tim is friends with Pam

and that's how he got access
to her greeting cards?

I mean, he certainly stood to
benefit from Bradford's death,

and he didn't like
him very much.

Hmm. Still, though... it's
a big risk to take, right?

Norman. Classes at
the college end today.

What if I don't find
the killer in time?

What's this here?

A fingerprint. My mother got it.

It's from Stacey
Ramsey's boyfriend.

Okay. Why would she do that?

I guess Stacey says her
boyfriend's been acting strange.

He takes phone calls and
then rushes out of the house.

My mother has a photo
of him buying a tarp

at a hardware store.

What are you thinking?

I'm thinking she's
thinking the worst.

What if he was just gonna
surprise Stacey with something?

Do something nice for her.

Yes, Norman. I
think you're right.

I think that's
exactly what it is.

Come on, we gotta go.

Okay.

A proposal?

Maybe he was buying stuff
from the hardware store

to create a romantic evening.

You know, a lighter
to light candles.

A tarp to protect
a picnic blanket.

Oh...

Our first date was a picnic.

Oh!

There you go.

Oh, Stacey.

He never has to know
what you thought.

You'll act surprised. Oh!

And it'll be as if
this never happened.

Are you sure?

Yeah.

He probably just wanted to
make sure you got everything

you ever dreamed of, right?

Oh.

With the way things ended
with my first husband,

it's just kind of
hard to imagine that.

Bradford wasn't the type to
think of others before himself?

Are you kidding me? No.

I mean, other than his dog,

I'm not sure he thought
of anyone but himself.

Thank you. I have to go.

That's it. That's
it. Come on, come on.

Okay. Uh... thanks.

Lonnie, it's Hannah.

Is everything okay?

I think I figured
out the password

to Bradford's cell phone.
It's his dog's name, Radley.

R-A-D-L-E-Y.

I don't have a lot of
chances left, Hannah.

Are you sure?

Sure as I can be.

Okay. I'll try it.

Norman, I think we
should go visit Willa.

I bet she'll know if Pam was
friends with Tim or Kyle.

Okay.

[sighs]

Uh... this is gonna
require some sensitivity.

[knocking]

Well, nothing's as sensitive
as a root canal, so...

Oh. Good point.

Hannah.

Um... what are you doing here?

Hey Willa, I just have one
quick question for you.

I'm sorry to bother you if
you don't mind letting me in.

This is my friend
Norman. He's driving.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Um... I'll just ask one question

and then I'll get
out of your way.

Thank you for coming,
actually, Hannah.

I'm, um... I'm starting
to figure everything out.

Oh.

Okay, well, you know you're
welcome to come talk to me

any time about anything.

Or about Bradford and
your relationship.

No, no, actually...
I can see now,

it's... it was just,
like, a fantasy.

I didn't mean any harm.

Of course you didn't and
I'm sure he was flattered.

I wanted to ask you about
Tim, Bradford's T.A.

Are Tim and Pam friends?

Or did Tim ever buy one
of Pam's greeting cards?

Yeah. Yeah, probably.

I mean, you know, Tim actually
told me that the police

asked him if he'd be
willing to submit his DNA.

He said the police have
male DNA to compare it to.

Really?

Yeah.

They're probably
bluffing, right?

Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, we should,
uh... should we go?

Uh... yeah.

I wanna get out of your way.
I'm sure you're packing.

Um... is Perry coming
to help you pack?

No, um... I just wait till
the last minute to pack.

Right. Me too.

Yeah. Uh... yeah.
Anyway, uh... thank you.

Once I finish this affidavit,

I'll email it over
to Judge Colfax.

Probably gonna need to
call and wake him up.

[cell phone rings]

This is Murphy.

Hey Lonnie, it's me.
Hannah has a lead.

Okay?

Meaning she's done that thing
where she just takes off

into who knows what
kind of danger.

Danger.

Where's Hannah right now?

We have that map thing.

Yeah, she's at 495...

Pinewood Lane.

I make a list when I pack.

Of course you do, Norman.

I'm so sorry you came
here today, Hannah.

[gun cocks]

Turn left. Into the alley.

Okay. Okay.

Who did you call?
Where are we going?

Shut up.

We know you didn't
do this, Willa.

It's like you said, the
police have male DNA.

I know how DNA works.

Police can't connect it
to anyone if their DNA

isn't already in the system.

And you know the killer's
DNA isn't in the system.

You know that already, huh?

Hey, hey!

What?

Okay! Hey, hey.

What are you doing?

Um... just wanted to get
my hat on. It's cold, okay.

Just calm down.

Is that okay?

We're doing what you're asking.
No one needs to get hurt.

Willa. It's Perry, isn't it?

He set off the explosion
in my classroom too.

My brother has never
committed a crime.

Till last week.

I said shut up!

Okay, okay. Wait, wait, wait.

Your brother? That's
who you called?

Before you forced us out here?
He killed the man you love.

Why are you helping
him get away with it?

You don't have to
do that. You don't.

- Move!
- No, no, no.

Keep moving!

- Move keep going!
- Okay. Okay. We're going.

Keep moving!

We don't have time to knock
and check all the dorm rooms.

Does she do this a lot?

Define a lot.

There's more.

- This is Hannah.
- Yeah.

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

Listen, maybe you
wanted Perry to do it.

Maybe you were upset because
Bradford was flirting

with his ex-wife
at the Chameleon.

Bradford told me what happened.

She was sad.

She thought her boyfriend
was cheating on her,

he was just trying
to comfort her.

How did, uh...
how did Perry know

that Bradford would be alone
in his office that night?

Did you tell him that?

Of course not. I didn't know
Perry was gonna kill him.

Okay.

I loved Bradford.

Yeah, I know.

There's another one.

They're leading us somewhere.

Hey, did you know that
the police can use

forensic genealogy
to trace unknown DNA?

I know it seems like
a new technology,

because what you
see on the news,

but it's actually been
around for a long time.

- Yeah.
- Yeah, yeah.

I was gonna study that
instead of dentistry

when I went to school.

I had no idea. That's so...
that's so interesting, Norman.

Well, you know, you
with your bakery,

you sent a lot of
business my way.

Right.

- Okay.
- Move.

Go now, Hannah!

[gunshot]

Whoa!

Okay, okay, okay.

Come out, Hannah!

Or I'm gonna shoot
your boyfriend.

No, Hannah, stay where
you are. It's okay.

Where is she? What happened?

I don't know. I
don't know, Perry.

I can't do this all by myself.

Hey, hey, hey.

I'm not like you.

I had no choice!

Okay. Okay. I know.

Ramsey was gonna ruin my
career if he told the school

I caused that explosion.

I brought them here.
What's your plan now?

I didn't plan for this.

Listen, you guys have time.
You can figure it out.

Just calm down.

It was gonna work.

There's no way the police
were gonna suspect me.

I have to graduate, Willa.

You said that you
were gonna help me.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

I know, I know. Hey, hey.
I'm not doing anything.

Go find her. Go!

Everything's okay.

[women scream]

[gunshot]

[struggling grunts]

Willa.

Okay, okay, okay! Okay.

[police sirens]

Drop the gun!

It's over. It's over. Stop!

It's over!

I got you.

- Willa!
- Stay down.

Willa!

Dr. Rhodes, are you okay?

Yeah, thank you so much.

I met you with Diana one time.

Oh, right. Sure. Yeah.

How did you know
where to find us?

[Delores] Hannah? Hannah!

Oh, Michelle found you with
the map thing on her phone.

What an invention.

Oh honey, I'm so happy
that you're safe and sound.

Detective Murphy found
the trail that you left.

This was very clever, Hannah.

Though I'm not quite sure
what to call it in my report.

They're, um... cupcake liners.

Of course.

And you just carry them
around with you everywhere?

[all laugh]

It's good to be prepared.

That's my girl.

Yeah.

Well... aren't you just a gem?

Kind sir, would you mind helping
me walk back to the car, please?

This terrain is deadly.

The ultimate challenge in
baking is to be unpredictable.

That first bite
should surprise you,

lure you into wanting more.

The tang from an
unexpected lemon zest,

the perfect flake
of a pie crust.

Or combining flavors in
a new and different way

always keeps the taster and
the baker on their toes.

Oh, Miss Swensen.

I didn't think I would
see you here today.

Lonnie asked me to come
to sign my statement.

Of course. My mistake.

And you can call me
Hannah, you know.

[chuckles]

So, do you have enough
to prosecute Perry?

Well, I have to admit
that getting full access

to Bradford's cell phone was
a huge advantage and, uh...

I know we have you
to thank for that.

Well, I'm just glad
that password worked.

Sheriff's running a
full search warrant

and he'll be going away
for a very long time.

And Willa?

Right now she's just
being charged with

accessory after the fact, false
imprisonment and kidnapping.

I just don't understand why
she was willing to help Perry

after what he did.

You know, if this goes to trial,

you're probably gonna
need to testify.

You think it will?

I like to be prepared
for anything.

That's a pretty good life motto.

[chuckles] Yeah.

It's good to see you.

Oh, uh... would you care
for a caramel apple rose?

Just a little something
I whipped up this morning

at the bakery.

Oh, Hannah. You're
a bad influence.

I bet you don't do
anything by half measures.

It's good to see you.

I cannot believe that we solved
it on the last day of school.

Talk about waiting
until the last minute.

You always were a
procrastinator, honey.

Oh my gosh, Hannah.
These are so good.

Well, thank you,
Norman. You know what?

You get free caramel
apple roses for life

for the way that you
saved me from Willa.

Oh, while she had a gun
in her hand, no less.

Honestly.

Oh! Stacey said yes to
her boyfriend, look.

[all] Aww!

Well, congratulations on
solving the case, Mother.

Oh, Hannah. We both solved it.

We Swensen women stick together.

Did Bradford lead
Willa on or not?

Thanks to Hannah figuring
out the passcode,

Lonnie read some
pretty steamy texts

between Bradford and Willa.

Yeah, Perry definitely knew it
wasn't in Willa's imagination.

Well, that's why he set
the explosion in the class.

He wanted to scare Bradford,

but Bradford turned
it around on Perry

and basically threatened to
get him expelled from school.

So, Perry felt cornered,
that's why he killed him.

And then Willa just
blamed herself,

which is why she helped him.

Yeah, and Perry's her brother.

She didn't want him
to get in trouble.

Well, I love you both, but I
wouldn't kill anybody for you.

[laughs] Well,
that's good to hear.

I don't know, I guess
it would depend.

Stop it.

Michelle Beatrice Swensen.

She's kidding, Mom.

Oh!

I am leaving before I
become an accomplice.

[all laugh]

Norman. You really are a hero.

Thanks, Norman.

Seriously. Thank
you for everything.

See ya.

What?

You are hopeless.

I was gonna say something else.

Girls. Girls!

Yes. Yes.

I have another client.

- What?
- How?

Apparently Stacey Ramsey was
so pleased with my performance

that she's recommended
me to her friends.

I have three new messages!

Wow.

Well Mother, that stands
for a toast to you.

- Celebrate.
- Yes.

[all together] Cheers.
