Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe premise of the show that is central to this episode, a Doctor that solves crime, is very similar to the basis of 'Diagnosis Murder' which began in 1993.
- GoofsInstead of confronting the producer herself for stealing the plot from her book, Jessica should have just sued for copyright infringement since her book would have copyright protection. Jessica should have no reason to personally confront him yet alone kill him since she could simply hurt him with a civil suit.

Jessica Fletcher: What?
Kate Hollander: The real-life adventures of a crime-busting mystery writer.
Jessica Fletcher: No, no, no, no.
Kate Hollander: Oh, yes, yes. It'll be sensational. New, different, original, but familiar.
Jessica Fletcher: [sighs] Miss Hollander, I don't write gunfights, car chases or bedroom scenes, so who would watch? I'm sorry, but that is absolutely the worst idea I have ever heard.

Miyori has aspirations of doing her own original work does not want to start as a hack TV writer who steals to make a career. What she's so concerned about is beyond me since that is what television is all about is beyond me. Still Angela Lansbury gets involved.
Even more after a package is opened by Ken Swofford and he's killed with a bomb explosion. As Swofford was a thoroughly unpleasant person there's no shortage of suspects. But it's Miyori the LAPD settles on.
Of course they're wrong and JB Fletcher and Detective Yaphet Kotto with some tricks of their own bring down the culprit, literally.
Couldn't see what everyone was so upset over with this story.
