** For those who missed the fun: The dentist (who regularly cheats on his wife) dies from a poisoned fruit cake he got as payment from the landlord. The landlord (who doesn't like fruitcake) got the fruitcake from the butcher upstairs as rent payment. The butcher put the fruitcake in a box from "the best bakery in town" to hide that the fruitcake was a gift from his long-term lover, the dentist's wife, and didn't know that the dentist had poisoned it to kill the butcher and frame his wife. The coppers have to write it up as a suicide.

'''Elizabeth''': All widows are. (While meant to be funny, this was Truth in Television in a lot of ways. A woman could inherit her husbands estate, but was never pressured to remarry. Widows often had all the benefits of being single and being married at the same time.)
