- Quotes
Dr. Seth Hazlitt: Grown men do not like to knock on strange doors at night. For fear they may have to answer to husbands with shotguns.
Jessica Fletcher: And when was the last time that you had to answer to a husband with a shotgun?
Dr. Seth Hazlitt: Jessica, a gentleman simply does not discuss such matters.

Written by John Addison
By doing so, we now bid a hardy "good-bye" to this pleasant community, with its little quirks, as a shifting location in relationship with Portland, its astronomical deviation of facing a sunset to the east, its seasonal peculiarity of hardwoods in full bloom in December, and its high, and very high, propensity for murder.
We must also express our due appreciation for the fine services of Cabot Cove's most recurring citizens, Doctor Seth Hazlitt, Sheriff Mort Metzger and Deputy Andy Broom.
In the category of most "MSW" performances, Angela Lansbury leads with 264 appearances, in each episode except one as Jessica Beatrice McGill Fletcher, and another in a dual role.
Louis Herthum holds forth place with 25 series appearances, including his most recent 23 as Cabot Cove Deputy, the last 21 of these identified as Deputy Andy Broom.
Ron Masak comes in third place with 41 performances, including his most recent 39 in his well-suited role as Sheriff Mort Metzger.
And William Windom arrives in second place with 53 guest spots, including his most recent 52 as eternally grumpy but good-hearted Doctor Seth Hazlitt.
While Sheriff Mort and Deputy Andy remain stationed around Cabot Cove, Doctor Seth would occasionally accompany Jessica on excursions into Boston or NYC, or points beyond, such as upon an archaeological excavation into New Mexico.
On their Season Four excursion into Maryland, Seth informs Jessica that his only surviving relatives consist of brother Richard Hazlitt (Richard Bradford), nephew Mark Hazlitt (Douglas Barr), and niece Carolyn Hazlitt (Jane Badler). But when visiting South Carolina, in Season Eleven, Seth introduces cousin Buford Hazlitt (Dakin Matthews) and his son, Rob Hazlitt (Craig Richard Nelson).
And now Seth's another niece, Amy Walters (Cari Shayne), appears in Cabot Cove, to announce her wedding plans with fiancé Johnny Carter (William Keane). But will the Hazlitt clan continue to expand? Or will murder interrupt yet another wedding ceremony?
Roger Yates (Geoffrey Lewis), Tom Sampson (Jerry Hardin) and Jeremy Woods (Bruce Kirby) play three of the "adults" this time around, while the twenty-ish set become involved in a soap-ish malady of suspected infidelity and altercations.
Les Franklin (Anthony Michael Hall), for example, accuses Johnny of trying to come between Les and Sherri Sampson (Laurie Holden) after a visit to her residence.
Stu Yates (Judson Mills) gets into the act with an interest in Amy, who also suspects something going on with Mickie (Michele Abrams) and Johnny and Doreen the Waitress (Kathryn Morris).
Roger Yates's Junior Son (Will Stewart), meanwhile, avoids the entanglement for the most part, which involves a secret baby, while Amy, Sherri, Mickie, Doreen, Johnny, Les and Stu fight it out.
But when a motorcycle accident claims a victim, some begin to suspect that it is murder, because "What You Don't Know Can Kill You."
Jessica, Mort and Andy handle the investigation in search of a wire cord, while Deputy Lynn Olson (Kathryn Masak) remarks that Mort (Kathryn's real father, Ron) "reminds me of my father."
This episode marks the second of two "MSW" performances by Bruce Kirby and Judson Mills, the third of three for Jerry Hardin and Kathryn Masak, and the fourth of four "MSW's" for Geoffrey Lewis.
