What a great show! Famous politician shot three times. Jane talks bystander into handing over valet parking ticket belonging to the victim – a bystander in full Marilyn Monroe getup! Drugs found in the victims car – wife denies that they could be his. Wife is an actress, by the way!

Hmmm It seems that the dead man wanted to withdraw his financial support from a movie that his wife was starring in. The director of the movie is someone who has had his own issues in the past, and needs this movie to do well to resurrect his career. Said director is also quite a control freak – and has his own drug issues. Or … do the drugs actually belong to the director’s manager.

Whatever the case, the manager does give up the name of the drug source. I do not have anything good to say about drug use – but the character of the drug source here was incredibly well played! He seemed like a well balanced business person!

It seems as if both the wife of the dead man and his daughter are working in the film thathe wanted to withdraw his support of. The wife in a starring role, the daughter in a supporting role. While interviewing the wife and daughter, two things happen. Jane remarks that the dead husband does not seem the type of man that the wife would be attracted to – that she is more the “bad boy” type. And … a picture of a “bad boy” type falls out of the daughter’s purse. Hmmmmm …

The drug dealer is busted – and his client is the daughter! It seems that her boyfriend has introduced her to drugs. It also seems that her father was very upset about her drug use. The drugs found in his car actually belonged to his daughter.

Jane feels that the errant boyfriend (who has disappeared) will be showing up at the mother and stepdaughter’s house. A stakeout is instituted, and yes, the boyfriend does appear – with a key to the house! Detectives follow him in – but they are a little too late. In the dark, the dead man’s wife shoots her stepdaughter’s boyfriend – allegedly by mistake.

However – she hasn’t killed him. Faced with being charged with his girlfriend’s father’s death, the boyfriend refuses to talk. Jane puts it all together – and brings it out in very real fashion on the set of the movie.

You see – the wife gave up her career for her husband. She did not want to see the movie closed down – which it would have been once he withdrew his financial support.

I love the way that Jane never gets excited – he remains matter of fact, and states things as fact, rather than as a supposition. He knows what he knows, and accepts that. Way to go!
