Recap / Miss Fishers Murder Mysteries S 2 E 05 Murder A La Mode

• Ascended Extra: Madame Fleuri makes regular cameos in the books, verging on The Ghost. Here she gets a first name and a sister.
• Costume Porn: The murder of the week takes place at an upscale atelier, so the costumes are taken up to eleven.
• Mistaken for Cheating: Suspicions that her husband and Genevieve were going behind her back are what got Frances killed. Her accusation's vague wording made Genevieve think the woman knew about her lies and theft, so she killed the woman to silence her.
• Open Mouth, Insert Foot: To get out of Dot's questions about her fashion sense, Hugh tells her he likes what she was wearing the day they met best. She crossly reminds him she was wearing a maid's uniform at that time.
• Serious Business: Bespoke fashion versus ready-to-wear is treated like a matter of life or death, at least as far as Madame Fleuri is concerned.
• She Cleans Up Nicely: Dot models a modern evening dress for Renee and Simone's fashion show and looks rather nice.
• Sibling Yin-Yang: Sisters Renee and Simone Fleuri have contrasting ideas in terms of fashion design and business and they're often butting heads over it.
