Fun little episode, obviously heavily influenced (or just ripped from), the radio play that became several films "Sorry, Wrong Number!".
Crossed wires lead Jess to overhear a murder plot, only every person in Cabbot Cove treats her like a doddery old biddy, and the murder takes place. As Jess is confined to bed, the hapless Grady has to investigate.
While this is a decent episode, it did lead me to hate Amos Tupper. He goes over the line, from lovably bumbling to incompetent moron.
Even after the murder happens as Jess said it would, he still thinks she's hallucinating the plot. As such, he acts like a useless, sexist twit throughout the episode, making me wonder how this nincompoop was even elected in the first place.
He's such a condescending and annoying presence here, even shouting at Jess at one point because he knows better and won't listen to her.
It's actually infuriating, because the number of people that are not believed in real life when reporting crimes cause utter airheads like Amos are actual law officers is astounding.
No wonder they got rid of this fool eventually.
