When a powerful businessman is murdered, the finger of suspicion points at his battered wife - but Jessica is not convinced of her guilt, and manages to come up with a long list of other suspects
Domestic violence is touched upon in this rather engrossing episode. The back drop is bright Santa Barbara and polo clubs, but any respectability Chad Everett shows is only on the the surface - he plays a macho go-getter with some charm but when he get drunk he hits his wife. The wife's friend is Jessica- and when Chad is murdered,the wife is accused of his murder. Of course, Jessica isn't convinced that she's guilty. It's amazing how a serious subject is tackled in a general light episode without becoming too dark. A well done episode.
