Directed by: Walter Grauman
The community center of Cabot Cove is getting ready to produce a play with retired actor David North. What follows is interrupted rehearsals and a murder in town.
----
!!Tropes:
* BlackmailBackfire: What ends up killing [[spoiler: Eric Benderson]].
* EngineeredPublicConfession: Jessica stages one, literally, for [[spoiler: David North]].
* FieryCoverup: Attempted by the killer to hide evidence of what he had done in the past that the victim was using to blackmail him. It was only partially successful, however, as the fire [[RevealingCoverup left clues that helped Jessica solve the murder]].
* LoonyFan: Lyman Taggart is just a little too obsessed with David North and with the prospect of working with him.
* MustHaveCaffeine: With all that's happened in the episode, Jessica is barely able to stay awake working on her novel at the episode's end. She can barely manage to grab the cup to drink its contents.
* PromotedFanboy: Sheriff Metzger was just trying to shoosh down some [[ICantHearYou noisy people]] during a rehearsal of the play when his loud voice impressed David North and he gets hired to play the [[DrillSergeantNasty loud Constable]].
* RedHerring: Taggart's temper and obsession with David North makes him a likely suspect for the murder of [[spoiler: Eric Benderson (and the arson of his motel room)]].
* RightBehindMe: Eve was just describing David North to producer Jerome Mueller when he pops in behind her.
* RunningGag: People keep telling Sheriff Metzger that he's going to die (first Jessica when Mort was standing in for a character in her novel, then later Eve who tells Mort what will happen to his character in the play). He does not like that at all.
* StealthInsult: Upon learning from producer Jerome Mueller that they will be holding auditions in Cabot Cove for a play, Eve gets excited and tells him that she has some acting experience. Jerome notes that he finds that unsurprising, a reference to Eve being of a somewhat ShadyRealEstateAgent.
* ViolenceDetector: The special paint used on some prop paintings to make them glow in UV light proves instrumental in determining the killer.
