    Storyline

    Edit
    After Seth is hospitalized and diagnosed as poisoned, with an apple Eudora gave Jessica, she still believes in her colleague's innocence. Sheriff Metzger discovers the murdered P.I. was following her husband, Hank Shipton, and found him adulterous with rich Victor Casper's wife, Lisa. Hank's son, Bobby, is beaten up by local Arnie on account of pool bet debts. Jessica ties up all the loose ends. —KGF Vissers

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      A major rewrite of the script was needed for this two-part episode as it was originally intended to be the series finale. However, Angela Lansbury was persuaded to continue the series with the promise of a reduced workload (hence the "bookend" episodes in the subsequent sixth and seventh seasons).
    • Goofs
      When Endora approaches Jessicas place at the end of the show she is wearing a pair of black gloves, and hugs Jessica, when she turns to leave the gloves are gone.
    • Quotes

      Dr. Seth Hazlitt: [recorded message] This is the doctor speaking. If you're violently ill, get yourself over to the hospital; they can't do much more damage than I would.

    9/10
    A cracking series finale.
    We were left with a big cliffhanger from the devious episode, not something you're used to seeing on Murder she wrote, but it made you want to tune in straight away.

    It's fair to say that Murder she wrote offers up generally light hearted, easy viewing, but every so often it throws up a story that's a little deeper, a little darker, and Mirror Mirror is one of those, one of the best of those.

    You think you have all the answers, and know what's going on, but the writer's had other ideas.

    Simmons continues to dazzle, an amazing actress, she gets some wonderful scenes with Lansbury, I love the idea of this feuding actress.

    It's a really slick, smart story, Series five gets the excellent send off it deserves, it's been a great series overall, and this two parter has been one of the best aspects of it.

    Excellent 9/10.
