- The community center of Cabot Cove is getting ready to produce a play with retired actor David North. What follows is interrupted rehearsals and a murder in town.
- Seth's old friend, actor David North, returns to Cabot Cove to try out a play in the local playhouse. At auditions for the minor roles, Lyman Taggart gives a terrible reading but is convinced the director and North are out to get him. At dinner that night, Taggart shows up again and threatens North. Meanwhile, North's former manager Eric Benderson shows up and moves in. As Seth tries to reassure a hard-drinking North, Taggart tries to enlist Jessica's help to get him in the play, and threatens her when she brushes him off. When Taggart crashes a cast party, Benderson throws him out. Later, Seth finds Benderson injured in the theater, and he later dies. Taggart is spotted leaving the Lighthouse Motel and, as Sheriff Metzger chases him, Jessica notices a motel room is burning. Jessica thinks North might be in danger and go to the house he is renting where they smell gas and Metzger pulls an unconscious North out of his room. Jessica and Seth think it was an attempted suicide. Jessica comes to the theater to catch the conscience of the murderer with new pages to the play.—mama.sylvia
- After 10 years of retirement, renowned actor David North returns to the stage when a production company sets up shop in Cabot Cove to develop a play they hope will eventually make it to Broadway. Seth Hazlett is particularly happy that his old friend David is back in town. There are problems in the theater company, however. At open auditions for several minor roles, Lyman Taggart reacts badly when he fails to get a part. As well, David is nervous at the prospect of returning to the stage after a long absence and then the play's director, Kathryn Evans, learns that David's former manager Eric Benderson is to receive 15% of the gross receipts. When Benderson dies after being attacked, the unstable Taggart is suspected. Jessica, however, believes it's all related to a death that occurred long ago.—garykmcd
