Murder, She Baked: Just Desserts

Moishe!

I'm home!

Moishe!

Moishe?

Moishe?

Here, kitty, kitty, kitty.

Moishe...

Moishe?

Ow.

It's crunch time for the final--

I'll still be behind the counter...

It's crunch time for the final three.

Because we don't want anything to distract

from this beautiful face.

Oh, Hannah, we're going to need you in place

in 20 seconds.

20 seconds, oh, thank you.

You're doing a wonderful job.

Oh, it's crunch time.

You're sure that it's just a sprained knee?

Oh, yeah, that's what the doctor said.

It's crunch time for the--

Mm-hmm.

Oh, I can't do this.

Well, not with that face.

Smile, Hannah! Come on--

Hannah, you are a trouper.

We have 10 seconds.

Well, it's our contest, right, Mason?

Yeah, and if you need anything from us here at WNKW,

my employees are at your service--

Okay, thank you, wonderful--

We just want to make it as easy as possible for you.

You're doing a great job, by the way--

Yes, she is.

Thank you, Mason, everyone here has been great.

Where's my crème fraîche?

Hannah! Focus. Smile.

I can't smile the whole time, Mother.

I mean, my lips have to move.

"It's Crunch Time for the Final Three!"

Wow, you're good at this, you should do it--

- And we're back in five-- - No, honey, it's your contest.

- It's your moment. Shine. ---Four, three--

Oh, crutch!

We're joined now by a special guest,

owner of The Cookie Jar on Main Street in Eden Lake,

and creator of the baking contest

the whole town is buzzing about.

- Yes, it's-- - Yes, it's Crunch Time

for our Final Three this week in the Eden Lake Flour Bake-off.

Hannah?

That's right, it's crunch time

for the... final...

for the final three,

and, uh...

and they're gonna be baking.

Smells like you've baked something

for a preview for us?

I did.

I did, I-I I'm...

making you Strawberry Shortcake Swenson.

I-I posted the recipe on the website

for pound cake, which is the base,

and then I'm going to show you how to whip crème fraîche

and finish it with the berry.

Okay, while you get started,

let's introduce our fellow contest judges,

who are here with us today.

We are delighted to welcome Clayton Hart.

He is the owner of Eden Lake Flour Company.

Thank you, it's a great pleasure to be here.

Hi, Hannah.

And manager of Eden Lake Inn restaurant,

Charles Rutledge.

So, you mix all the ingredients together,

and you want to be sure

not to over-work the batter,

because that makes the cake too dense.

- Good to know. - That's true.

So let me show you the finished product here--

Oh, my gosh!

That's fantastic! Whoo!

That looks so good, it should be illegal.

It is illegal-- to my diet.

Let's try some.

And I have some to sample. There you go.

I forgot,

you're supposed to finish it with mint.

Hannah...

you're setting a high bar

for these contestants.

We'll be meeting them in our next segment.

Well, all those bakers are competing for $25,000

and a cover story in "Chef's Magazine."

The contest takes place

at Eden Lake High school,

where we are on location all week for this special event,

so come on down Saturday,

doors open at 4:00.

We'll be right back

after these messages.

And we're on a break!

I can't hear anything.

There's too many people talking.

I thought that was my line, the "crunch time."

You handled it well, though.

Great job,

and that was excellent.

Thanks. Okay.

And we'll see you two on Saturday.

Yes, absolutely, Mr. Hart.

And you take care of that leg.

Of course I will, Mr. Rutledge.

Oh...

- Mother-- - That was so wonderful.

You have a new calling, honey.

Oh, I don't know about that--

I'm so proud.

And I know that face.

You go talk to him.

Hi, Mike.

Oh, a star has just been born!

Hey, you didn't look gimpy at all.

Thank you.

Look, I'd be happy to come by

and fix the stairs myself

if Dennis isn't available.

Yeah, no, I did, I talked to Dennis,

and he's gonna come and double-reinforce

the whatever-it's-called,

and put extra-strut-slats on something,

and double bolts, everything that you said, Mike.

Yeah?

Well, yeah, I wrote it all down.

Well, look, about the game tomorrow,

unfortunately, I am on duty.

I am very sorry about that,

but at least that means that Bill and Andrea can go.

- That's really nice of you. - In five, four, three...

The Eden Lake Rebels take on the Marshalls

at home tomorrow,

and the town will be out in full force for this one

because this could be the night

all-star point guard Carl Kimball breaks the record

for the most points in a season.

I am gonna manage your career, Hannah--

Mother, I don't know about that.

Oh, my goodness, Hannah,

what happened?

Oh, I hope it's not broken.

Can you still judge?

- I'm okay. - Yes, she can taste.

It's just her sprained knee,

which she fell down her cellar steps

I told her to have fixed... how many times?

You did. Many, many times.

Well, good luck with your promo.

Yes, you guys, it is so much fun--

- Ready for your close-up? - Mother!

That woman never stops talking.

It could be a big break for you, too.

It's a fun contest and a nice change of pace,

but that's it.

You don't give yourself enough credit.

You have a real presence on camera.

I'm happy being a restauranteur.

How about I cook something for you--

If you promise not to judge the dish.

Well, I do need the practice.

I don't know,

you're pretty good at judging.

I tell you what, though,

if you use any of that crème fraîche,

I will give you definitely high marks.

Okay.

...This one,

because this could be the night

all-star point guard Carl Kimball...

What an athlete.

I am really looking forward to watching this kid play.

This'll be a great game.

Get open. Get open, guys.

Let's go, let's go, let's go.

You got this, you got this.

Way to go, buddy!

You're back-up, okay?

Way to go, Carl!

Come on, Carl, let's go!

A little defense. Up, up, up, Rebels!

Hey, did, uh...

Hey, did Norman give up dentistry?

Oh, no, of course not. No, he volunteers his time.

He's the assistant coach.

Oh. Okay.

Shoot it!

Who is that?

That is Carl Kimball.

Oh! Oh, Mason Kimball's son.

Yeah, yeah, he's an all-star-material kid,
