In no particular order...
Cameron Mathison now works for another network and is no longer available, so his character, Mike, is just gone. This created a big plot hole that wasn't covered very well. He just left? C'mon, couldn't he have at least been kidnapped by aliens or something more believable?
Norman steps up in Mike's absence, for all the good it does because Hannah runs around like there's nothing new to see here. Everyone else just looks at her like she's a dunce. So Hannah is observant enough to solve the murder but not bright enough to see Norman's renewed romantic interest?
Doris, played by Barbara Niven, just keeps getting weirder with every episode. Now she's a private investigator complete with black hat and sunglasses? I assume she'll complete a correspondence course before the next episode and become Lake Eden's newest plumber or electrician. If there was a silver lining to Mike leaving it was that at least he didn't have to see that.
Both of Hannah's sisters come and go in this episode but contribute next to nothing.
It's a typical Hallmark Mystery. The victim is stabbed in the torso with Hannah's knife. He hardly bleeds and although Hannah discovers the body, she somehow doesn't recognize her own knife. This episode was written by Alison Sweeney so Hannah wasn't about to get in too much trouble, but there were to many holes in this story.
Juliana Wimbles reprises Lisa, Hannah's partner at The Cookie Jar. Once again Lisa runs the store and bakes up a storm while Hannah runs all over town. Wimbles deserves to have her role expanded.
Victor Webster is the new DA in town so he has to be predictably difficult to everyone until the murder is solved. Not sure where his character is going to go if this continues.
In the end, I wanted this episode to be better than the last two and that didn't happen.
