[[caption-width-right:350:'''Chief King:''' Here in Maple Heights, silence reigns supreme. And when you're investigating, I need you to be more discreet than ever.]]
After being promoted to Maple Heights, the police department are invited to a party held by the mayor for his re-election campaign, where club owner Jerry Bigwall dies while gobbling up cake, which is revealed to have contained razor blades.
!!Tropes:
*BastardAngst: Akiko Tanaka was Jerry's illegitimate child, who dumped her mother after she told him she was pregnant. Her desire for revenge, coupled with the fact that she's the one that made the cake, makes her a strong suspect during the investigation.
*BigEater: We finally meet someone who can give Jones a run for his money in this regard, up to not chewing his food. Unfortunately, he ends up dying for that exact reason.
*BigScrewedUpFamily: Before he's sent to prison, Mitchell Westville tells Judge Hall that ''every'' family in Maple Heights is this, hence why he doesn't care about ruining his family's reputation by murdering Jerry.
-->'''Judge Hall:''' Are you suggesting that the residents of Maple Heights are all murderers?
-->'''Mitchell:''' All I'm saying is that people here understand that murder is a lesser crime as long as it justifies the means.
*{{Blackmail}}: We learn that Jerry was this, recording secrets secrets from people such as the mayor or Mitchell after getting them drunk. The last straw for Mitchell was when Jerry discovered his family was broke, prompting him to kill him.
*BloodFromTheMouth: Jerry does this right before he dies thanks to the razors put in his food.
*BluntNo: When Nathan begins to explain how the victim died:
-->'''Nathan:''' Well, I had to cut your victim open to inspect his digestive system and--
-->'''Jones:''' Jeez, Nate, can you spare us the details?
-->'''Nathan:''' Nope.
*ContinuityNod: [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase16TheKissOfDeath Rozalina's escort company]] and [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase20ADeadlyGame Jezabela's fetish dungeon]] are mentioned as being sponsors of Howard's campaign.
*EarlyBirdCameo: [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase43TroubledWaters Martha Price and her mayoral campaign]] and [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase44TheScentOfDeath Hank Buxton's company]] are mentioned before they're properly introduced.
*{{Foreshadowing}}: At the end of the case, [[Recap/CriminalCaseGrimsboroughCase43TroubledWaters Jones tells you Martha Price has invited them to a yacht party.]]
*LatexPerfection: Jones comes across a perfect mask of Jerry, which Mitchell used to infiltrate his club. Jones himself puts it on while arresting Mitchell to make him believe he's BackFromTheDead and make him confess for the murder.
*{{Matriarchy}}: It's revealed that the one who holds the reins in the Johnson family is Serena, Howard's overprotective mother who seems to be capable of doing anything to protect his re-election campaign, including threatening Jerry since he had heard something regarding Howard.
*NoodleIncident:
-->'''Chief King:''' It's always a pleasure, Serena. And being back on the field, as it is, is reminding me of the good old days, like that time when that man got ki-

*NouveauRiche: This case introduces Adam Bentley, an individual with a MysteriousPast who seems to just be gaining steam among the OldMoney people from Maple Heights.

*RazorApples: The victim died due to the party cake containing razors that shredded his throat and esophagus.
*ShoutOut:
** The victim resembles Creator/JohnGoodman.
** Mayor Howard Johnson is likely a reference to John Howard, 25th prime minister of Australia.
** Mitchell Westville resembles Creator/MichaelDouglas.
** Adam Bentley rents a "Ferrira" car.
** In the Banquet scene, the Freemason emblem is visible.
** The floating island in the Riverbank scene is reminiscent of Angel Island from ''Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog''.
** In the Bridge Entrance scene, [[VideoGame/HalfLife Half-Life's logo]] is spray-painted onto a wall. There is also a purple version of [[Anime/DomoTV Domo-kun]].
** When the seating plan is examined, a [[Creator/BenAffleck B. Affleck]] is seated at one of the tables.
*SkewedPriorities:
**[[BigEater Jones]] seems more concerned about the cake going to waste than someone dying due to it.
--->'''Jones:''' What a waste of cak-- [[LastSecondWordSwap I mean]], what a waste of human life!
**Howard is also shown to be more distraught about his re-election party being ruined that the fact Jerry, a long-lasting friend of him, has died.
*TamperingWithFoodAndDrink: Mitchell put razors in the party cake to kill Jerry, since he knew Jerry would be the first one to eat and also that he didn't chew his food, which meant he wouldn't feel the razors until it was too late.
*TruthSerums: Mitchell injected Jerry with this, as he needed to know the code to the safe where he stored his recordings.
