Written By: Robert E. Swanson
Directed By: Seymour Robbie
The murder of a womanizing gambler leads to double lives being exposed in seemingly quaint and old-fashioned Cabot Cove.
Tropes:
- The Butler Did It: Well, not a Butler, but the Bartender.
- Mistaken for Cheating: Sherrif Metzger and Dr. Hazlitt both came to the conclusion that Victoria Proctor is having an affair with Eric Bowman that turned deadly. Turns out, he was blackmailing her about something else.
- Dirty Harriet: Jessica dons a more....revealing attire, messes her hair, wears heavier makeup, and pretends to be drunk in a bar to extract information from the Bartender about a bookie whom the murder victim owed money from.
- Sympathetic Adulterer: Victoria Proctor is portrayed as such, whereas Eric Bowman's reputation as a womanizer is portrayed negatively.
