Trouble continues to follow Eudora McVeigh Shipton (Jean Simmons) wherever she goes, including a stint in the jail at the office of Cabot Cove Sheriff Mort Metzger (Ron Masak), who suspects her of murder and attempted murder, but has the proof that she has lifted Jessica's manuscript in process.Meanwhile, Doctor Seth Hazlitt (William Windom) recuperates under the care of a Doctor (Edward Penn) and Nurse (Lisa Nelson) at Cabot Cove Hospital, but has Jessica trying to connect his poisoning with the murder of the body which had been moved and discovered in the previous episode.Lew Bracken (Richard Anderson), Liza Caspar (Shelley Fabares), Victor Caspar (David Hedison), Hank Shipton (Ken Howard) and Bobby Shipton (Daniel McDonald) remain in Cabot Cove to discover what they could do to help Eudora, or to see what they may obtain from her in certain cases.As Victor suspects an affair between Liza and Hank, so also does Eudora, who says she must decide which of them she needs more. Jessica Fletcher (Angela Lansbury) and Sheriff Metzger confront Victor in a restaurant in the presence of a Maitre 'D (Scot Stewart), who steps aside for the resulting interrogation.Bobby Shipton (Daniel McDonald), meanwhile, is beaten by a local thug, Arnie (Robert Dryer) in the presence of Arnie's pal Joey (Michael Doven), which sends Bobby to the Doctor (Edward Penn) and Nurse (Lisa Nelson) who treat a reluctant Seth down the hall.Deputy Floyd (Will Nye) is on hand to assist Sheriff Metzger to act upon Jessica's theory as to where to uncover the site of the murder before the body was moved.But after Jessica pieces together the entire puzzle and accompanies Sheriff Metzger to face a showdown, he demands that she exit the bar at the realization that the suspect has obtained the pistol from the holster of the victim and now intends to retaliate against anyone who steps into the way.Eudora then meekly expresses apology and appreciation to Jessica, before leaving for a visit with her sister in Oregon, as they reflect along the moral of "Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall," thus leading Jessica to decide upon Seth's notion to attempt to enjoy the simple things which life has to offer, marking a pleasant send-off should the series terminate after this, the end of a five-season run.But, of course, "Murder, She Wrote" has a long life ahead of it from here, for CBS to renew the series for seven additional seasons plus four reunion movies in the series' aftermath.This episode marks the only acting credit for Scot Stewart, and one of only two thus far for Michael Doven as an actor.
