Poisoned in Paradise: A Martha's Vineyard Mystery

You did okay tonight, Katie.

Yeah, I've done worse.

Claire, could I grab your keys?

I should restock the house wine.

Better to do it now than before my shift tomorrow.

Sure.

I'm heading out.

Thanks.

I'll see you tomorrow.

Okay, goodnight.

Okay.

Nice work!

So, the inaugural voyage of "The Remedy"

is now in the books.

Thanks for bearing with me.

It could've been worse.

One of the engines conked out.

The rudder jammed and the bilge pump quit on me.

Okay, well,

at least we didn't have to row back.

If nothing else, we know she floats, right?

You've put so much work into restoring this classic.

She looks amazing and I had a great time.

Glad to hear it.

After you.

I know getting her back on the water

meant a lot to you,

so, really, thanks for inviting me.

Well, if my dad was looking down,

he probably got a good laugh.

But, seriously, thanks for coming out with me, Zee.

Well, unfortunately, the fun's over.

I've got some errands to run,

then I've got a shift at the E.R..

Have you considered early retirement?

I mean, I was skeptical,

but I'm starting to find it pretty great.

Yeah, it does seem to suit you.

I have time for more important things--

like catching my dinner.

I wish I could join you.

There's no reason for you not to enjoy the spoils.

Dinner? Tonight at my place?

Yeah, I'm in. I'll bring the wine.

Perfect. - I'll see you there.

All right. See you there.

Bob still visiting his sister up in Plymouth?

Yep. Should be back next week.

Well, the coffee's still on point.

Good work.

Jeff Jackson?

That's me.

I'm Katie. Leonard.

I wait tables over at The Beach House.

You know the place?

I do. Haven't been by in a while.

For better or worse, I do my own cooking.

Speaking of which, I'd better get out on the sound

while the blue fin are still biting.

There was an article in "The Vineyard Gazette"

with your name in it.

It said that you've been consulting for the police?

Unofficially.

Right.

See, that's why I'm coming to you.

I have a problem,

and I was kind of hoping

that maybe you would consult with me.

What kind of problem?

I got involved

in something I shouldn't have...

...and... ...now I'm in over my head.

And I don't know what to do.

Well, if whatever you're caught up in

is against the law,

then there's a simple answer--

go talk to Chief Madieras.

What's the complicated answer?

Katie, whatever you got caught up in,

you'll be better off getting ahead of it,

rather than letting trouble catch up to you.

You're right.

Okay, thank you for your advice, Mr. Jackson.

Well...

dinner ain't gonna catch itself, "Mr. Jackson."

That can't be right.

Look out, Doc!

Noah! I'm so sorry.

Is everything okay?

I guess it could be worse.

I have an extra $100,000 in my checking account.

What? Wow!

Do you have any idea how that could happen?

Actually, it's my sister you got to talk to.

She's the new CEO.

Dad tried to rope me in the business,

but I never had a head for numbers.

I was sorry to hear of his passing.

Thanks, Zee.

Hey, I was just heading to see Lauren.

I'll take you.

All right.

Thank you, Dr. Madieras,

for bringing this to my attention.

Our dad used to give away toasters.

If you're gonna be this generous,

sis, won't be long

before the last family-owned bank on the Vineyard

goes out of business.

Helpful as always, Noah,

and for the record, the bank is in great shape.

So how much do I get to keep?

Sorry, but none.

Spending this money would be a felony.

And then your dad would have to arrest you.

It could get awkward.

Right.

Hazel?

Could you please look into this for me?

Sure. - Thank you.

If you'll excuse me,

this comedian and I

have some family matters to attend to.

Okay.

Easy come, easy go.

Right, Zee? - Hey, what can you do?

Hi, Hazel. How's your physio going?

Amazing. Only two more weeks to go.

Good thing I had such a great doctor

after my accident.

I'm happy you think so.

I'm certain of it.

Okay.

Now...

it says the money

was transferred into your account

the day before yesterday.

Okay. Who sent it?

It says a corporate account.

We just finished an upgrade to our system,

so could be a glitch,

or maybe an honest mistake?

Someone got the account numbers wrong

when they were making the transfer?

Okay, so do I need to do anything?

Nope.

I'll just flag it

and it will get sorted in a day or two.

All right.

They don't seem too worried about it,

and it's their bank,

so, I guess I shouldn't be either.

Truth is, they've got bigger fish to fry.

Like what? - Well...

Noah's not happy with their father's will

and has been threatening to take Lauren to court.

Was he cut out?

No. He was taken care of, but it really irked him

that Lauren was given control of the bank.

He made it seem like he was never interested.

I think it has more to do with how the two of them

were always competing to be their father's favorite.

Hazel, you might've missed your calling as a therapist.

But then I'd actually have to deal with people's problems,

instead of just gossiping about them.

Thank you for your help.

Anytime. - Bye.

Bye.

Britt!

Hey. Thanks for meeting me.

I want to get something

a little extra special at the wine store,

so I could use your expertise.

I see. What's the occasion?

Not an occasion per se, just dinner with Jeff.

"Just," she says.

We're having dinner.

Seize the day, Zee.

Or the night.

You deserve it.

But this advice comes at a price, though,

because I need your help with a little something.

Sure. What's up?

Follow me.

There you go.

Tell your husband I say "hello."

Ms. Prajna!

Thank you

for this opportunity to win your business.

Mr. Walsh, meet my friend Zee.

She'll be helping me decide

if your pastries are worthy of my tearoom.

A pleasure.

Are you new to the Vineyard, Mr. Walsh?

Please, it's Frankie.

And yes, I opened Très Gourmet just a few months back.

Yeah, I passed by. I've been meaning to come in.

The storefront's only the beginning.

I'm also looking to supply

all the finest establishments on the Vineyard,
