Murder on Maple Drive

No, please!

Help me!

What's going on? Please talk to me.

Okay, we're here.

Relax, it's not every day my big sister

Passes the bar exam on her first try!

So we are going to celebrate properly.

Willow, seriously, what's going on?

Can I take my blindfold off?

No, you cannot take the blindfold off!

The blindfold stays on.

Okay? Now shush.

I'm going to get out and open your door.

Okay.

Are you taking me to a strip club?

I don't dance for free.

My god! I thought you were in new york!

It's the best surprise.

I'm not the surprise, baby.

That is your surprise.

Did you know about this?

I am a realtor, you know.

Have fun. Love you guys.

Thanks for your help, willow.

Okay, so it needs a personal touch,

But we can take a look at that.

How can we afford this?

It's a killer deal, tess.

There's no way.

Hey, do you trust me?

Mark, this is like a million dollar home.

Yes, yeah, it is.

I haven't even secured a job yet.

Okay, so it might be a million dollar home,

But we did not pay a million dollars for it.

My god.

This kitchen is amazing.

How can we afford this again?

Yeah, so don't freak out.

I'm not freaking out.

No, no, but you might if you don't listen to my whole story.

Okay, so we got this amazing house for an amazing deal,

Because there was a significant reduction in price.

I'm listening.

And that reduction in price

Is because someone...

Died in the garage. - Died?

Yeah, a husband and wife?

Of, like, old age? - Not exactly.

Murder-suicide.

Okay, that's not funny. Are you joking?

Just listen... you said you'd listen.

It happened in the garage, it's completely cleaned out

And refurbished, you'd never even know.

Okay, so we live here for a little while,

And then we sell it for a huge, huge profit,

And we move into an even nicer house.

It's an amazing opportunity,

It's a once in a lifetime opportunity.

So just think about it?

And you're sure that willow said that we could flip it

For a profit? - Yes.

I ran the numbers with her.

We'll be out of debt in two years.

She even agreed to be our realtor when we sell it.

And she won't charge a commission.

Okay. - Really?

Really. - Come here.

Do you really have to go in the morning?

I wish I didn't.

Where are you off to this time?

Lost track. Boston, maybe.

I think we forgot the bottle openers.

Well, there goes our celebration.

I don't know about that.

- Ooh. - Yeah.

Ooh!

Get ready.

Here we go.

Wow. - Yeah.

Haven't seen that before.

What are you looking at?

Um, nothing.

Sorry, can I help you?

I'm shelby, honey. Your neighbor.

I just live a few houses down

In the house that looks like a foreign embassy.

My hubby has too much money and no taste.

I felt like pie, so I brought this pie

As a welcome-to-the- neighborhood,

With a caveat that I shall eat this pie with you, of course.

I'm tess. Thank you, that looks great.

I'm not sure if I've unpacked my plates or silverware though.

Well then just put it in the fridge.

We've got some walking to do.

Can we rain check? I'm really beat...

No, no, no. You cannot take a rain check.

Go on, put this in the fridge. I'll wait.

Go on, now!

So y'all were okay living in a house that had the...

The, you-know-what to the you-know-who?

The deaths? It's less than ideal.

I wasn't sure at first, but my husband convinced me.

Did you know them, the clarks?

No, they kept to themselves, so not really.

that house there.

The kids are monsters.

Never seen the parents.

I'm convinced they're tied up in the basement.

Now this house here.

This is a hot little dish called david.

Hands off, he's mine! - Understood.

And this house here is don seever.

Haven't met him yet. - Good for you.

Always looks like he just ate a lemon,

All mean and wrinkly.

Like an elderly raisin.

Well, I guess I can leave you be

And let you rest now.

I'm glad you have some intel on your neighbors.

Thank you, that was nice. - You're welcome.

Now don't y'all go and eat that pie without me.

You better invite me over! - I promise.

Bye! - Bye.

Sorry.

Um, just in there is good.

Whoops!

Hi.

You can just put it in the kitchen.

I'm david, your neighbor.

Hi, sorry. - Don't worry about it.

So nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you. A little housewarming gift.

I'm happy to put it in the kitchen, though.

That'd be great! I'm tess ellison, by the way.

Come on in.

Sorry about the mess. Um, you can put it right there.

Wow. I see you guys repainted the trim.

It looks great.

Katherine, my wife, would love this color.

You just made my day.

Well, listen, I know you're crazed

So I'll let you get to it.

If you need anything, I'm right across the street.

Thanks.

Cheers.

Morning. - Good morning!

So how's the move coming along?

Slow. My husband mark had to go out of town again.

Yeah, I guess there's no hurry, right?

Listen, when you guys are all settled,

We should grab dinner together.

That'd be nice.

Yeah, I'm happy to see good people moving in.

Thank you. So sad what happened.

What do you mean?

With the previous owners.

Yeah, yeah. It was.

Yeah, they were friends.

I'd better get going. Have a great day.

You too.

Deep dish, baby.

So, have you met any of your new neighbors yet?

There's some crazy characters around here.

The guy next door is a total jerk.

There's this woman named shelby

Who's super rich and super hilarious.

And then there's this guy, david,

Who lives across the street.

David?

What? Why are you looking at me like that?

It's just that... When you said his name,

You got this look on your face.

No I didn't!

My god! You have a crush on this guy!

What are you talking about?

I've known you your entire life, I know when you have a crush.

Don't be stupid.

I can be stupid if I want to.

I'm single. But you can't be stupid,

Because you just got married. - I would never.

Is he hot?

it's never gonna happen, okay?

Unlike you, I can have platonic relationships

With attractive men.

well, what's the use in that?

Okay, he's handsome.

And kind. And happily married,

From all the nice things he says about his wife.

Is that the time? Shoot. I gotta go.

You could stay over if you want.

No, no. I have to pack.

I am flying to a seminar in florida tomorrow.

Well, you could stay when you get back.

It's kinda creepy in this big house alone.

Add an hour to my commute every day? Sounds appealing.

I'll make you dinner every night

And the cheap wine will flow like water.

Now we're talking. I'll think about it, okay?

Thanks for helping. Love you.
